Where is this? Looks like a stonker of a wave.

I love him. I try to move like him when trying to skate

Try having both hands in front of you as if riding a bike

Get another - one for each hand!

Two things I would start with -

1. Look at the wave as you are paddling in and don’t take your eyes off her for the entire ride!

2. Both arms in front, like riding a bike. Your back arm is a bit chaotic and throwing your balance everywhere.

If you look and steer the bike where you are looking, I think you’ll see heaps of improvement

And to help with the relaxation as Graham mentioned, try singing a song. ‘I want to ride my bicycle’ might be a good one, it’s a twofer!

Hadyn Wood sounds like something I would do!

You have to try these holidays. They are priceless for your surfing

I think you can find them on the website but I’m not sure. They book out pretty fast so you would need to be on your toes.

From experience, they are amazing. Not just for the improvement in your surfing but also in the new friends you make.

You can check the Malibu Popoyo website too, they have regular retreats

The bosu ball shows you how small movements can make a big difference. For example, turning your head will shift your weight and that is really obvious when done on the bosu.

The surf skate is just as valuable but in a different way. You could try in a skate park (or on a slight hill) to do the same moments on a surfskate that you would do on a bosu to feel their impact, though it might not be as immediately obvious.

But please wear all the padding!

Lovely wave to learn on. You have so much time to think about what you want to do. Dreamy!

If you want to really improve whilst on holiday, I’d recommend an OMBE trip with Clayton. Definitely sign up for one if you get the chance
