Feel the wave lift the tail. That’s the indicator. When it “talks” to you pick the best line where you board fits as well as gives you time to glide in and stand. Looking down is time poor and the result of a shitty line choice

At the end of the wave when you think it’s over you relax into the best posture and stance ie relaxed and taller. Prior to that you lock up into a survival stance , low and heavy. Fix this and everything else gets better

Soften your knees as you land in the white area and you will gain speed. You lock and loose energy here.

Sebastian Jimenez play with the turn don’t force it and you will get all of the feedback from the wave, the board and your body

Hi Emily. Australian retreats are in AuD and Nicaragua is UsD

Nice

Fundamentally it’s sound. They not be so judgemental and play with the energy inside the wave. Tune is and force less

It’s like riding a bicycle. Keep your hands up but quiet. Yours move to much because your head moves too much. Keep your head still. Compress and extend from your knees keeping your head still. You do it from your hips moving your head too much and countering with your arms. Less is more.

That was awesome. Love it. Finally understand how powerful and simple a lean is. Well done

March. Where are you based. A trip to the ombe surf lab would help sort out a lot of what you are experiencing!
