6/6 but fun Oceanside longboard heat
Surfing is your own journey but when you share it across the So cal state in coalition of surfing from Baja to Santa Cruz you are part of Ohana. Dedicated and family when we lose special people in our Ohana. Blessed and grateful.
I want to put a skate ramp in my back garden in the UK, do you guys have any suggestions? I've thought about surfskate wave ramps, mini ramps or a bowl like the OMBE one if you guys have any dimensions please? Anybody else put a ramp in their garden and any thoughts whats better?
Yes competition. Wish me luck. Some one will win this my daughter’s graphic on Chris Ruddy surfboard.
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?
Iconic San Onofre fun. Crowded but 15 waves that day. Here is my handicap. KNEES since such a low energy no push from oreo to pop up ugh. Knees bad habit in small waves
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...
Hi guys,
I wanted to share a small tip of how I remind myself of what is my goal in each surf.. in case anyone finds it useful. I draw my 'trigger words' on my board with black wax so you I can easily remove and change it or do just before paddling in. This way I constantly see it when I paddle or sit.
I made this one to help me remember to point the nose and my eyes where I want to go and remember the coffee cup hand as I struggle to put it on straight from the take off on my backhand.
Have a great day everyone!
