Michiel van Gerven We're blessed with several breaks within 5 to 20 minutes of here. Saunton is great for beginners and logs and works best with an offshore breeze - as with all breaks - but it can get really messy with the normal Westerlies and Southerlies we get here. Around the headland is Croyde, a heavier beach break that barrels at low tide on bigger days. There's also a reef break and point break at Croyde. Puts is around the next headland and offers another great sheltered beach break when Saunton and Croyde are blown out from the Southerlies. Far end of Puts are Woolacombe, Barricane and Combesgate. All decent beach breaks on the right day.

Picture is Croyde Point last Friday 🤙

That first turn is really good John. You looked and pointed with your back hand and it looked really smooth. The next turn you don't look and point. Probably a confidence thing? If you commit to trying to look and point back at the camera I think you'll nail it BUT please wear a helmet bud. No shame in looking after yourself and it may give you more super powers 🤠

I'm having the same issues but I think it's a speed issue. Centrifugal Forces will only work and allow you to drop your head if you are travelling at speed. Try leaning your push bike on a turn when you're going slow and you're gonna kiss concrete. Speed is your friend on this occasion me thinks 🤔

Hi bud. Sorry to see you've left OMBE. Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all you've done for me and my surfing journey over the past 3+ years. It won't be the same without you. Best wishes for the future and please let me know if you plan another trip to the UK 🇬🇧 Be great to share some waves 🏄‍♂️🤙

Hi Michael, Paddling, Oreo, Glide, Looking and Walk Up all very good to me but once you do pop up, you're very side on. If you can bring that back hand forward (coffee cup) it will put you more Front On and then your bend will become more of a forward lunge, allowing you kiss the back knee and touch the wave face in front of you as you look up to the top of the lip. You do touch the wave face with your back hand but I think it's too far back?

What board are you riding and what were you trying to do that you think you could have done better on that wave?
