Hey Guys,

Thought I would post some content from the wave pool. I remember when I did this bottom turn, I felt on the edge of losing control of it. Very close to falling off. But after looking at the photo after the session I realised its probably the best bottom turn I’ve done. So I suppose it is about getting that balance right between what is a comfortable in terms of control, so you can try something new until that becomes comfortable. Have said that I haven’t managed to replicate this turn again! Well not yet anyway 🤣

Some fun ones from yesterday in my island home.

Now fast popup. And apologies about the heavy breathing. Don't know how to edit the sound out.

Also, my back foot has a lot of pain so I can't get the heel to lay down.

About 3 months out of total hip replacement surgery. Feeling good on the Bosu and on the skateboard. Just waiting for surgeon to clear me to start surfing again!

Per the suggestion of Scott Wagenblast trying to change my line to work on getting my head lower and carving around the corner instead of just cruising around the bowl.
Not gonna lie much more difficult then I had expected. Mainly trying to build enough speed going into the turn. I don't know how to drop in yet- I feel like that would really help here instead of pushing from the bottom and trying to pump around the bowl to get the speed the hit the corner. By the time I get enough speed my legs are already burning (too many squats last night I guess.)
Will keep working on it. I realize the whole turn needs work. Getting my head around, getting the coffee cup passing around, getting the front arm up and outta the way. I don't pretend these are good turns....YET! Gotta start somewhere though...

I'm heading to Lanzarote on Saturday for a week of surfing. Forecast looking reasonable. We're based near Famara. Any local recommendations appreciated

Slow popup. All feedback appreciated 🙏🏼

Figured I'd post my most recent clips since it doesn't seem like there is gonna be a feedback session for a while.
Pretty happy with my 1st 2 turns, unfortunately my park doesn't really have a corner, just the half pipe... thinking I may have to drive 2 hours to the next closest park to get a good corner bowl section with a nice roll in, so I can work on getting my head lower through the turn.

In the bowl I'm trying, rather unsuccessfully to do the same thing, kiss the knee more and head my head lower in line with the board. Feeling like it's probably a little bit of a speed issue since I'm too afraid to drop in to this one.

I watched the feedback from the "unlocking your backhand" session and Clayton mentioned to multiple people about getting that head lower and letting the board pivot around it. Again, kinda feeling like my park doesn't really offer a section that would be good for working on that. But I am trying to get those airplane wings to roll/lean.
As always any feedback welcome. If I ever make it to the other park I'll be sure to get lots of clips, but a 4 hour drive (2 each way) plus time at the park is hard to come by with 2 young kids so not sure if that's gonna happen any time soon.

Anyone have any tips on how to recover while still at the beach? I go out any morning that we actually have waves here In South Florida. Out here we usually only get windswells which comes with tons of current, so I’m constantly paddling just to stay In position. My paddle strength and stamina has gotten a lot better over time thanks to following all the excersizes on this site however I can usually only last about an hour and a half before I’m completely drained. At this point Im usually pretty stubborn and try push through being tired but my surfing starts to really go downhill as a result.

Should I just go back in to the beach and try to rest for a little while, or should I just be calling it quits on the session at this point?

Also is there anything I can do while still out the back to avoid getting tired?

So is it safe to assume there is not going to be a November or December feedback session, since they are no longer on the calendar or in the video section?
