Sorry, I don’t have any knowledge of anything in that area. Maybe try the south coast, they are a dedicated bunch down there ( you have to be in those conditions!)

Looking at grahams photo above, maybe you aren’t bringing your knees high enough for the board to bounce back off the foam and come back down?

They are always sending me spam and I didn’t know who they were so thank you for educating me! 😁

The slow section in the wave is way better, almost not noticeable now.

The take off is more like taking off on the shoulder of a wave. I am used to the old take off and struggling to work the new one out!

Yes, I think the 50% still applies. I’ve been on the new intermediate setting - the take off has changed, it’s more like paddling in on the shoulder. Rob tried the advanced today and said the first half is great but the second half has a faster and steeper take off. (The first half looked a lot like the old intermediate setting - small and slow to me!).

Are you thinking of trying it?

Or we could go back to Zoom?

That was the best version of all of them! And easiest

Got any video of it?

It’s all about awareness and calm in the moment. It sounds like you’ve found it. Enjoy yourself

Is this a community/insiders thing?

I know what you mean - he completely changed my surfing with a five minute chat!!
