After couple weeks surfing, finally get some videos, any suggestions for what i should improve at the moment? Thanks a lot!

Hello! I’d like to introduce myself to the OMBE community. My name is Sarah. I live/surf in Newfoundland, Canada. I started my surfing journey when I turned 40 a few years ago. I love the ocean and being in it, on it, and around it. I’d say I’m not exactly a beginner, but definitely not intermediate yet. I do surf here when I can but I’d say the majority of my surfing improves while I travel. I joined OMBE just yesterday and I do feel like I’m probably in the right place! I’m looking forward to learning, getting to know people, maybe some in person meet ups, and catching waves!!! Hope everyone is having a great day!

Posting a clip from last April and one from today. Same spot, same board, and very similar rides. Not my best turn today, but was curious to compare it to the one from April because the lines and turn were so similar.

I feel like I at least got slightly more on rail on the turn from today versus last April. Still tend to trim along the bottom of the wave rather than pumping top to bottom, but honestly still feels fun.

One thing that happens a lot is my hands tend to go over my head as I am dropping back down the wave. Not sure what is causing that.

Just wondering will tutorial about floater be made in the program? Seems like floater is an important skill for intermediate or early advance to link up and ride a longer section?

East Wittering has been looking fun recently. You been in Graham Marsden ?

Shitty run of surf so am trying out some park turns.

2nd attempt so looking to what I feel I need to work on. I’m wondering if my tailing arm needs to wrap around at the top more so I’m opening my shoulders on re-entry? I’ve tried to reduce my arch but man that’s tight and bail everytime.

Ho hum ☹️

Following my previous account suspension on Facebook, they have now, in their infinite wisdom (or because of an arbitrary and capricious "AI" system, more like), decided that my account was somehow (but they won't tell me how) "in violation of their Community Standards" and disabled it completely with no way to appeal 😡

I'm trying to find a way back on there again, but, until that happens, I won't be able to Admin the Surf Hacks FB Group.

This is a total pain in the proverbials, but I'll get it sorted as soon as I can 🤞

Hey everyone! Here are two recent backside waves of mine. looking for feedback on what I can improve. I keep struggling with my stance on my backside, trying to stay front-centered, but somehow I end up in a sideways position. Thanks as always Clayton Nienaber and Community! All feedback is super helpful as I keep working to improve my lines

Checking in after about a month or so. Last video I posted, the feedback I received was more front foot forward, arms up, less frozen.

I’m working on that but still feel a little stiff. Apologize for the grittiness (not a camera film this time, just a Surfline cam). I feel like my arms are more forward / coffee cup stance. I tried to extend the bottom turn to go deep and compress and then extend out of the bottom, but fell off the back on reentry.

What is the next steps to improve the botttom turn and transition to top turn or cutback?

Also, this is a 6’10” DHD Inteceptor. I’m starting to feel much more flow, but I can turn more nimbly on my 6’2” Pyzel Astro Pop. Which should I focus on surfing more to progress? I feel rail to rail more on the mid length and feel that creates good habits. The shortboard forces more precision, but I can “cheat” the turns and lose speed because I’m not actually on rail.

Thanks!
