Hi Ricardo. To help with your balance bring your right arm up and infront of you, as if you are holding a cup of coffee. It will also get more front on, and more on the front foot which help maintain your speed.

Also, if you go higher up the wave in the pocket you will generate more speed coming down, keeping your weight more forward, with the coffee cup will help maintain the speed for the up part again.

Had a lekker surf on the 1st, best way to start the Spring time and new adventures. Was planning on doing the Make a Wave challenge again, I unfortunately dont have the time right now. Just too many things going on and I have been a bit spread to thin. Anyways, here's three of the better waves of the day.

Started doing some Leo moves exercises two weeks ago and it is already making a difference. Wasn't struggling with my pop up like in the previous video... Changes the game quite a bit.

Could have a look at Scarborough down the road from Kommejie towards the Peninsula, not sure if the wind or swell direction will be right, has potential for a fun wave there though. Was in Cape Town for a week a month back... didnt surf at all though because of poor conditions so can't give better advice. There is classic Muizenberg that might be an option. I am not a Cape Town expert so that about sums it up from my side...

Love the board! Looks super fun. Enjoy! Are you making plans for a JBay stop over as well?

Last weeks surf sesh. Didn't have a lot of waves this day... Was a day of the paddle... and duck diving. Seemed the biggest sets were always on my head... Typically. Was fun, and didnt have any expectations because of my fitness levels and the ocean was a bit rough. First wave I still have energy, second wave was after about 1.5 hours and the last was my last wave after roughly 2 hours.

Pop up exposes my level of fitness at the moment, I was almost unable to push myself up for Oreo. Grateful to be out in the water and for the lesson of embracing the suck never the less.

If you start your line more straight down the wave ie nose to the beach, your first bottom turn will be sharper and closer to the pocket and then as already mentioned, hold the top turn for longer.

Having footage will help you and us review your technique better. Doing these exercises always perceived one way in our minds, until we see it on a screen... I learned early on... How I think I am doing it is not always how I am doing it... I don't think there is a better tool for progression than watching a recording of yourself.
