Exciting Changes Ahead! 🌊We’ve restructured our footage review process to make it more beneficial for everyone. While live sessions will be on pause as we adapt to new dynamics with our two candidates, we’re thrilled to announce a fresh approach: your submissions will now be reviewed and shared here in the community!Here’s why we’re embracing this new method:✔️More Engagement: Posting reviews here encourages interaction and brings our quieter members into the conversation. Lives were limiting, as only those free at the time could participate.✔️Flexibility for Clay: With a packed schedule of retreats next year, this setup allows Clay to review submissions remotely during his downtime—ensuring faster and more consistent feedback.✔️Easier Access: Every review and takeaway will be visible to everyone, making it simpler to learn and improve without sifting through past live sessions.✔️Focused Feedback: This organized system will help you concentrate on specific areas to improve.🔔 A few reminders: • Submit one video at a time to give everyone a fair chance for feedback. • Avoid submitting distant or surf-cam footage—Clay needs clear visuals to provide effective, actionable advice.We can’t thank you enough for your support, patience, and understanding as we work through these changes together. Your willingness to adapt and grow with us means the world, and we’re so appreciative of this amazing community. 🙏P.S. I’ve added a Google sheet in the comments for tracking your submissions. If you’d like your older footage skipped, simply select “Y” in column F. This will indicate you’re uploading newer training footage. If you select “N,” Clay will proceed with reviewing your current submission. Let us know if you have any questions!

Hi.
I've been surfing sporadically for years and guess I am a lower intermediate surfer according to the lines I take.
I am working on the oreo biscuit technique and I have two questions I can't seem to find the answers to:
1) can the technique be used on all kind of waves? I manage to use it on steeper "well-breaking" waves but on fatter and flatter waves I really struggle even when I'm right where they start breaking.
2) Does using the oreo eliminate the need for step up boards on bigger/faster waves? I often see that step-ups (with more foam under the chest) are recommended to get more paddle-power but if I don't need to paddle (much) to get waves that is not needed?

I’m struggling with catching waves on my backhand (I’m goofy foot), especially when it’s steep or dumpy. I’m fine on forehand in any conditions. Help!!

BAIL OR GO?

There are times, you find yourself in a situation where you either have to bail on the wave or just go. Some chose bail. Some didn't have a choice of what they were going to do. So glad I chose GO!! Such a fun wave. Unfortunately, camera cuts off at that point at the surf break to the right and you can't see the rest of the ride.

I think it's clear by my dancing bouncy hearts where I am 😍

Just wanted to share my ride...

Should one always get on the finger tips when practicing walk-ups on land? How does this relate to the water walk-ups?

I’ve missed you guys. It’s been an interesting month, a busy one at that but lots of fun, too! Hubby brought me to Waco for some birthday waves!! A little clip from our Waco surf sessions. I turned 56–ouch!!
