Well as usual it felt better than it looked, but I'm happy anytime I don't dig the rail on the top turn.  I can see I am still releasing out of the bottom turn too early and I didn't follow through with my back arm on the top turn, but glad the board got directed back to the foam anyway.

My main take away from this footage is my positioning at the take off.  I should have been closer to the peak right? There's a jetty offscreen that I was anxious about getting too close to, but it looks like I should have been further to the left of the screen at take off.

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.

In addition to OMBE Newbie…I’m my own videographer and editor. Which involves me setting up the camera on the side of the pool, pressing play, running down and skating to get this shot.

I can throw in a slowmo version if needed; but, would welcome any feedback. This is week 2 of pool training. I felt it wasn’t my best run but it’s the one I filmed. I feel like I need to compress all the way out of the top turn instead of as an afterthought as I’m rolling out into the flats and I think I need to focus more on my knees kissing. I need a lot more reps before it’s muscle memory.

Clayton Nienaber the tape lines you have on your bowl (yellow, orange, red), are there specific measurements for those? I know you’ve said to use a chalk line and obviously in the water it’s all dependent on the size of the wave. Just trying to get a sense of something to aim for. Cheers! 😁

My 2nd session surf skates on ramp, it is fun.

Did pumping, mini backside, frontside bottom top turn.

Need ur advise anything to improve?

If anyone's near Croyde Bay in North Devon, I'll be there from the 8th to the 18th of August.
