Surfing Stance
I'd like to get some opinions of surfing stance. A lot of advice (that I'd previously followed), advised to have the front foot at 45deg angle, and the back foot at 90 deg.
I see that clay has both front and back feet at 45 degrees. To me this feels much more natural. Is there a reason for the differing advice?

Hi !
After finally moving closed to the ocean, I progressed a lot since then but I feel like I struggled to fix some of my mistakes and it leads to a lot of frustration πŸ˜…
I struggled to be right at the peak, often too much inside or to much backward.. When I'm well placed, often I take off to late and I'm behind the section, I never really surfed down the line and this is really frustrating πŸ₯²
I tried the Oreo biscuit technics and it worked well on couple waves but sometimes I do it too early
If you have some tips πŸ™πŸΌ
Maybe my board is too demanding for my low intermediate level, it's a 6'7 and I'm 6'4 and 83 kilos what's your thoughts ?

Hello OMBE Community! :)

After the feedback I got in my last video skating on a ramp, I decided to regress and master the turn on a flat ground. Can you guys give me a feedback on where to improve? Thanks!

Hello Ombe community!

I’m back to surfing / skateboarding after 3 years and I’m loving the content of the courses. I’m focusing into surf skating to improve my surfing.

I would love a feedback on my movement here. I’m still feeling tight and not able to go higher on the ramp nor generate enough speed continuously. Any suggestions? (I’m doing the beginner surf skate course)

Thanks guys! :)

Hi all, Any thoughts on the best surf forecast online for East Anglia (UK)? I used to use Magic Seaweed and it was pretty good, but when it moved over to Surfline the forecast never seems to be that close to actual conditions.

Just curious if anyone that has been bowl/ramp skating with their Cx or C5 trucks has switched to riding regular skateboard trucks like Indys or the like.
I've been enjoying my transition skating so much as I've become more comfortable with it but have a new found desire to try some normal skateboarding tricks like Ollie's, maybe grinding a few rails and just utilizing the features of my local park more every time I go.
Recently switched my deck from the Carver Quill, with a 17" wheelbase, to an Andy Anderson Heron deck with my C5s trucks. But the Heron deck does have a 2" shorter wheelbase, which is made even shorter with the reverse kingpin of the C5 front truck.
So now I'm considering throwing some Indy trucks on that to widen that out to the 15" wheelbase the Heron deck has. Was wondering if anyone has switched to standard skateboard trucks and how that compares to the C5s or CX trucks, since we are all probably skating to improve our surfing.
Any thoughts or experiences are welcome as I've never really ridden a normal skateboard truck.
Also for anyone trying out new wheels on their surfskate. The powell peralta dragon wheels are mindblowing amazing. Highly recommend! I don't think I'll ever skate a different wheel after trying these.
