Me at my regular bowl in Boston. Trying to know when to twist and when to lean.

Hey guys is anyone else having trouble accessing the new 4 lines program? It says that its not available with my subscription but I pay for monthly full access to the site.

Clayton Nienaber part 1: figure 8s.

This was drastically less successful.

Trying to do the figure 8s per video 1 feedback. Very unsuccessful. It's such a tight turn radius, that at this point feels like short of doing a kickturn at the second part, or putting my arm down and doing a burt slide I'm not really sure how I can fit it in.
Not gonna give up as these were only the first few attempts, but that 2nd corner is not a mirror of the 1st corner as there is a roll in there, which makes the corner less rounded off. The roll in is aimed at the 1st corner of my figure 8, so coming out of the first halve I'm heading basically straight up the roll In.
I will keep at it and see it I can get it but it's for sure gonna be a tough on to master.

Clayton Nienaber part 2 arms vs legs: based on feedback from previous video submission.

Forgot to take my cups with me, left them on the counter on the way out the door, tried to replicate it anyway. It was a little awkward only cause I had to avoid the one corner which is always wet from some reason first thing in the am.

Hey guys do you reccomend quads or thrusters for small powerless waves?
A typical day where I surf is usually about knee high and pretty mushy. I ride a 7’2 funboard as a thruster and ive had a lot of trouble making sections. Should I try switching the board over to a quad or just try to pump quicker to get more speed out of the gate?

Plenty to be learned 🤣

Hey guys does anyone have any tips for not bogging the rail on the bottom turn on smaller days?

For reference im surfing a 7’2 NSP funboard.

I try to drop to the bottom of the wave before starting the bottom turn to get the most speed possible, but anytime I lean into the turn it just sinks my rail and I either lose all my speed or just completely push the board under water.

What am I doing wrong, and are there any drills that I could be doing to work this out?

What is the best training to improve upper body movement?
Looking back at the video I notice that my upper body is not moving at all. Just standing on the board. Anything else I miss? Bending form the hips? Any advise is welcome.

Will video like this work for this platform? Any critique welcomed.
