Hold the turn longer as its is more hydro dynamic than going straight. You seem to cut them short by nervously looking back down the line. Taking it back to the power source is a reset on the wave to set up the next turn. Try not cut it short and just be aware when you do. The awareness is the first step. Second is commitment to a full turn

Fantastic. Well let. Letting go of any ego is the best place to start

That was smooth and clean. It’s looked great. I’d say the next limiting factor is the size of the board makeing your turning circle bigger. To use more wave face and wave energy a slightly more refined board will open up new areas on the waves and create more potential

That probably won’t work. The wave is 3d and you approach is flat and one dimensional. Think of it as flying or riding a bicycle and stop trying to balance on the board. The more you turn the more on rail you are and the more hydrodynamic you become. Keep practicing the turns and hold them longer and it will click when you stop fighting the turns

Your board is too big and too wide and thick to effectively trim so in essence the board goes where it fits. As the wave steepens up the board almost flips. Your next step is to get stronger to catch your own wave and ride a better board to control it along a trim line.

Thanks John. I saw her struggling and it drove me bonkers so I invited her over to Oz and had a fun week. She is a great YT producer

Thanks G I’d love to work with you especially after all you do for the community. You are a good soul

The arc is tight and it’s like a wave that bends away from you where as a bowl is like. Wave that bends towards you making turns easier.

That being said there are take aways. Compress too low and you will loose some speed. Try not go as low just just enough to soften the landing and instead extend out of the ramp and see how much more lift and speed you can achieve.

You also drop your hands out of the turns. This droops your energy. Try level the arms and point towards where you intend to go. Kind of like pushing a shopping cart across the parking lot. You will get more forward drive. Good luck

Try be more front on to see more of the wave. In terms of patterns. The top turn is line another take off. You did it once so do it again after the turn

Welcome Sarah

Hope you find knowledge and kind people here.
