Im back on the surf skate after some months off because of injuries and now filming my sessions. I feel I am not able to generate more speed and have more control because im bending over at the hip to extend and/ or because im compressing at the top turn rather than maybe extending out coming down the ramp.
What do others think?
When I pop up, sometimes I do it really wel and can surf the line. However, sometimes when I’m popping up, I get up and fall forward, falling in front of my board and the board then drops on top of me. What is causing this? How can I fix my pop up? I feel like this is really limiting my improvement and would love to get help on this.
I got lots of splashes on my face from the nose of my fish board when catching a wave.
Am I not arching my back enough or not pushing my knee towards the pad enough?
Thought I’d share this. I’m wanting to work on my bottom turn into forehand snap and set this up…

Hello community- any recommendations for gaining paddling fitness while living in the desert of Utah? Should I freestyle swim at a fitness pool? Or put a floatation device under me and actually paddle in the pool? Or Tricep intensive power lifting? Any suggestions? I am fit for rock climbing but when I go on surf trips find my triceps limit my paddling stamina.
It seems like the free community has more interaction...is that where we should be posting?
Hey friends, I'm going up for a week holiday to the Gold Coast, 2nd week of the school holidays, which falls on the first week of October. We will be staying in Burleigh Heads, so I'm wondering if anyone could recommend a surf school up there? OR if there is someone that might like to meet up or any other suggestions. How can I make the most of being up there? I've never been there to surf ever. I think I'm a progressing beginner, but would like to get better at going down the line and things like that. Anyway I've google a few places, but I'm after recommendations from someone who might know what's up there. TIA!
I have a 31.5L Dominator 2, 5'9 and find it great to duck dive and when up and riding. However I struggle to get onto waves unless overhead. I also have a Hypto Krpto 5'10 33.4L and this is hard to duck dive, easy to catch waves but a bit too much board and slow when riding. So I am looking at a:
RNF96
DHD Phoenix
DHD Black Diamond
What do you reckon? Surf 1ft overhead and under, punchy
Hi! Could you please let me know what size Bosu is best for the training? 🙏
I took a leap and booked a place on the Nicaragua trip in 2024. Equal parts stoked and nervous. Who else is coming? Anyone from Melbourne?
