I like the google maps analogy - I’m guilty of just trying to get to the destination without enjoying the journey.

There is a week of coaching before us so the accommodation is full until the 20th, I think.

People are arriving all throughout the first day - we have a welcome dinner in the evening and get into the surf coaching the next morning. The beach is right out front so you can go surf if you want at any time.

The resort has a local guide who will be able to tell you anything you want to know about the area - he’s an American who’s been living there for a long time.

The people at the Malibu Popoyo are really great, you can contact them with any questions, no problems.

I went last year. If you need any info, I might be able to help

Hey Tim,

I’m glad that you are back to good health and skating again.

This looks like a lovely bowl, where is it?

Your back is upright and coffee cup out but you aren’t banking on your turns, it looks like you could be concentrating on staying upright in your back and are then not leaning into the turn.

I would recommend that you submit this for the monthly zoom and get some feedback from Clayton.

Looking good though

It’s very difficult to say what it could be without seeing it. Can you show us some film of it?

It doesn’t have to be in the water - try your pop up on land, film it and post it here for us to see (although it would be better to post in the community app as you would get more responses). You’d be surprised what you can see on film

Are the Mavrex still available?

Alex as far as I aware, it’s the same but if you have any problems, email luke@ombe.co or jeremy@ombe.co and they should be able to help

I think swimming is recommended for paddle fitness - but you should be working your lats more, I think, as that’s where your power is coming from

You could check out surf strength coach. He has an app and programs specifically designed for the questions you are asking

Hey Chris

It might be worth posting this in the community app - you should get a ton of feedback on there.

But I would suggest getting a better angle on the camera - we can’t see your body mechanics or your approach in this video

Hey Gary

Why don’t you post this in the community app? You will get a lot more eyes on it and responses. This app is mainly for the training aspect of OMBE
