Hi Clayton and Team, I need some help with my top turns and cutback. Any advice would be super helpful.
Hi Clayton and Team, I need some help with my top turns and cutback. Any advice would be super helpful.
Last weeks surf sesh. Didn't have a lot of waves this day... Was a day of the paddle... and duck diving. Seemed the biggest sets were always on my head... Typically. Was fun, and didnt have any expectations because of my fitness levels and the ocean was a bit rough. First wave I still have energy, second wave was after about 1.5 hours and the last was my last wave after roughly 2 hours.
Pop up exposes my level of fitness at the moment, I was almost unable to push myself up for Oreo. Grateful to be out in the water and for the lesson of embracing the suck never the less.

Sydney Wave Pool (intermediate session, second half), Couldn’t get my front foot at the right spot, and I was leaning way too much on my back foot and on and on...
Any tips on how to go from here? and what kinda exercises should I do?
Please any help welcome!
I tried to upload the video here but couldn’t get it to work.
Hi, can anyone recommend a good learn to surf school for a complete beginner (47 year old female) on the Gold Coast. I'm coming for a holiday in late Oct and I'm keen to do private lessons.
Hey Clayton Nienaber
Have you put anything out on asymmetrical boards? I imagine this platform may not be the best for a deep-dive discussion. Maybe better suited if I come on a trip. But I’d love to hear yours and others thoughts on them. Never tried one myself
Any advice on what you should be doing to generate speed to get out of the foam when you get behind it. I do “scoots” and pray, but have no idea what the physics supports as an approach. The sooner you catch back up the more time you have to play.
Pooman position and heavy back foot...
What's the best remedy for this?
Notice this in Pool sessions in the ocean this is less prominent. (Based on footages).
I am doing Bosu exercises standing and arching and paddling on it, at this stage I am hoping it will helps.
The pool where I practiced is more like slab type of waves. Sydney intermediate sessions the first part is easy, but at the second part I got jacked in and late take off with pooman.
Please any help welcome.
Oh My Hat! At last a weekend swell... I can't believe. Still early in the week and this could change. Still, way better than what has been.
Best I start doing some exercises this week in preparation...😂 This is in Jeffreys Bay for those wondering.
The video is from last week, before it all clicked. Hoping to get some next time I paddle out in front of a Surfline cam. When I was doing my top turn I would bring it back around and drop nearly straight back down the face, but I should have been wrapping it back around, pointing my nose into the foamball and hitting it there to reset my line. Once that clicked, it was so much easier to be in position for the next section cause when you turn back around after hitting the foam ball you’re already in the pocket. Thank y’all for repeatedly pointing it out to me.
