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

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.
How do I get info about upcoming surf trips? Just watched the Never Too Old - OMBE video with Karen 🏄♀️
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.
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.
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.
Hey , just bought a new board

I know it’s not my size
But I wanted to try cause I had a good deal
Feels like it’s a bit harder to turn
Usually I’m suring on

Just want to hear your opinions if I should keep
This one or sell it
Tnx
Mick Fanning Wiggle Video.
Does anyone know where I can find that video of Mick showing the wiggle vs compression on the surf board? I know Clayton loves to use it as an example, but I can not find it anywhere to share with others.
I always mention in the surfskate Facebook community but being able to share that example would be nice just can't find it on YouTube or anywhere.
Thanks
This time I worked a bit on backside top-turns. Man this still feels awkward as hell! And as Luke Hardacre says - if it feels awkward, it looks awkward. But, I’m still stoked to ve out there trying it 🤷🏼♂️I thought it was a full video where I ride all the way thru to the flats; but, you can see I don’t have that coffee cup going…I’m more starting to roll the windows down 😬
I think my question is…in the water, is a backside top-turn more like a kickturn on a vert ramp/ halfpipe? I feel like the line I’m drawing here is a long, sweeping arc. But in the water, wouldn’t it need to be more of a sharper up n’ down?
