It's under the description

still opens the shoulder, just in a different way. There is nuance to this and for more advanced surfers, focusing on the tweaks between the two will help get more on rail but this is not something I encourage most surfers to bother thinking about and its more important to focus on doing the full movment first before you get to tweaks. Which ever way opens up your shoulder easy for you. do that.

We have removed it as we aren't happy with it and will be redoing a new version very soon.

Hi Justin,we don't have any videos covering that but it is a good ideacheersLuke

Find a bowl to skate. Usually skate parks and bowls to find. Otherwise a sloped street with a bank or driveway coming off of it.

Nothing wrong with you, you're just like me and quite a few other people. I've written a full resposne to this and what you can/should do.

Sally Harris Hi Sally, just replied to your email and I fixed the technical issue where a few people didn't get sent the email and events tab.

Try not paddling and just kicking to see how much it helps. It's more splashing than anything else and just creates more stress. It's incredibly human to do it and we think from swimming we should, but doesn't really propel you as your legs are above water and just splashing downwards rather than being in the water and moving water like you do in a freestyle swimming stroke.

Yes some are. Its all about positioning. If you are closer to the pocket and surfing more vertical. There is a point where it becomes more of a big rail carve than a cutback, where as the cutback is more I am cutting back to the pocket and putting myself in the power source. You want to match the power of the wave, if the wave is weak, don't over push and try super hard. If its weak, match that and do a less critical cutback to make sure you complete the turn and put yourself back in the pocket.
