New to OMBE here, hoping someone can break down what the coffee cup hand means? Thank you so much 🙏

Had a lekker surf on the 1st, best way to start the Spring time and new adventures. Was planning on doing the Make a Wave challenge again, I unfortunately dont have the time right now. Just too many things going on and I have been a bit spread to thin. Anyways, here's three of the better waves of the day.

Started doing some Leo moves exercises two weeks ago and it is already making a difference. Wasn't struggling with my pop up like in the previous video... Changes the game quite a bit.

So first ride on my new board 4 litres down and a lot thinner then what I normally ride. Trying to get my left arm actually involved in my surfing as normally it tends just to do nothing at all. Getting there I think.

Man! Feeling really defeated. I wish I had footage of my surfing to share but I went for a solo surf yesterday. I would put myself somewhere around Line 1-Line 2. I find on bigger (read as 2-4ft+) days I can’t even catch a wave or pop up. I feel like I stress paddle, expend all my energy only to get left behind by the wave or go over the falls. Placement on the wave is almost certainly an issue.

Can anyone give me details or point me to tutorials on where/when on the wave I should be popping up? I think I may be way late to try and pop up and wind up riding the back of the wave towards the falls. Should I just try popping up as soon as I feel any lift in the tail and notice the nose start to point down the face? I wish there was someone posting POV with a mouthguard GoPro AND drone so I could see when they are popping

Help!

Struggling with take off on boxy waves with no defined shoulder. Last sesh everyone struggled in general but the few successful rides were by people angling at takeoff. I was either getting pitched off mid-wave or shooting to the flats and trying to stand up there. Can you tie together the principles of, fastest path, taking off in bottom 1/3 of wave and angling in general but in boxy waves in particular.

Day 8:

Another pre work bowl session...just working on all the things, but mostly focusing on the compression extension and listening/feeling the rhythm of the transition. Also, a small 7 sec clip of me from this weekend, as a tiny spec in the ocean, trying to apply that bowl practice to what we consider a wave here in South Carolina.

Don't expect any feedback on the surfing cause unless you zoom in, which I'm not sure you can do, can't even see me and it's a Short clip on a little closeout so nothing great to see. Only included it to show that I am attempting to take my dry land practice into the ocean with me when I go.

Every day just gonna keep grinding...

Is the old OMBE app still working?

When I go into it I get a message telling me to update it, but according to Google play store, I am up to date... 🤔

Hey All! Went to the wave in Bristol last week and did a few advanced lefts - definitely happy with my progress but the start of the wave always looks a bit slow! Any tips would be great! Thank you!!
