Hello everyone my name is Yiu Ting and I am from Hong Kong. Back in home there is almost no wave mostly(only close out and white water). So it is really hard for me to learn surfing, and i can only go to bali during vacation. I think the days in water for me is like 80-100 days. Now i am living by those countries with good wave and see how far can i progrss and hopefully can be a better surfer. Here is some of the clips of my surfing and i discovered these bad habits after watching ombeโ€™s videos

1. Knee not kissing, very side on

2.back foot too heavy

3.lack of compression and extension

4.rails not engaged mostly

5.hands are flying around not properly placed mostly.

I would like to know is there anymore bad habits i showed that need to change and how should be the sequence for me to change these for progress. I am living in sri lanka for 1 more month now(mellow waves) and will be going to Indonesia after.

Hello,

Happy new year everyone.

Got some new footage from my last trip. Sad enough I still surf like a wooden plank. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Well I think I doing a pet good for surfing 5 years. However I want to improve more. So please tell me what is ping wrong. Notice already the pop up my leg goes outside. On land Iโ€™m not doing that. Maybe because it take more time. Also I notice it last summer so still a bad habit thatโ€™s not out of my system yet. I do stand up more , but think it need to compress more. Any advise is welcome. Thank you.

Selamat sore, hello everyone!

I would like to hear your opinion on that :)

Clearly, i have to work on a few things...

But step by step, right?

What do you think i should focus on at the moment?

Maybe the "coffee cup"?

Best regards

Benjanin

Anyone have any good surfing related new years resolutions or goals?ย 

I mainly surf the same beach break all the time, but I've never paid much attention to what swell direction, etc. works best for the break.ย  I just look at the wave height and color on surfline and hope for offshore winds and favorable tides during the window when I am free to surf.

I have noticed certain swells are more likely to produce closeouts, but I amย thinking my goal might be to better understand the conditions and make note of the different metrics after each session.

Iโ€™ve just signed up for a trial 7days.

Before digging further I was just wondering what level I am at and what modules would be best for me to start?!

Soooooo much info and support itโ€™s hard to know where I fit and where to start, or just to go back to basics, reset and undo all my dirty habits.

Feeling good on the compression and extension frontside. However, when I go to do a cutback, rail bogs (spelling?). It's happening pretty frequently. Any thoughts here?

Is anyone around Sydneyโ€™s Eastern Suburbs keen to do surf training in the OMBE style together?

Iโ€™m working through the 12-week surf smart program and just finished week 4, so I thought Iโ€™d post for a 1/3 way through check in.

I feel like itโ€™s a clean pop up, but Iโ€™m embarrassingly stiff. Any advice in loosening up or in general? I feel that I could have built speed better as well. Should I have tried to pump up and down the face or taken a higher line from the takeoff?
