Maybe it was all the surf hydro trolling, or whatever that other online coaching is called, lol. (just joking btw)

Seriously though, good luck with your plan!

Clayton one told me... Get comfortable walking up and down the board. It is difficult at first because every movement in the beginning makes things feel unstable... It gets easier with practice though. Start practicing with the backfoot by moving it forward and backwards a little at time, it will feel awkward and your feet will feel heavy. It gets better and be prepared to be on a wave and practice, as in dont do anything but go down the line moving your foot forward and backwards.

I agree with what has been mentioned, alsontry to rotate your hips a little more forward, it will help get the shoulder straight and tuk the back knee in a bit.

Oh my word! How frustrating that must be. I can't imagine you, of all people would be violating community rules... I mean really, what do you post? That is crazy and good luck with that.

I sometimes think of going back to fb and then i see stories like this and I am grateful to be off.

Stand up with your back straight, bend at the knees and get your weight more on the front foot.

Cut out a piece of cardboard that is roughly the width of your surfboard and also the length of where your foot placing would be. Then practice your walk up on that. You can also draw a line across the back to indicate the size of your foot pad so when you walk up you adjust to step into that space. This will build muscle memory over time for you placement and walk up, and repeating the cobra pose will help create more mobility over time. Take your time when doing this... Slow will equal smooth and smooth will equal fast in the long run.

When you have your walk up sorted you can then use the same cardboard to practice the cardboard slide which is a speed generation exercise. 

Hadyn Wood Really? I am surprised, I would have thought they could have done something... I have had a nose break (a few inches less mind you) that was fixed and looks like new...ish... lol. Post it to J-bay 😜

You got a good back up plan though... Hope you're able to do something with it.

If you follow the advice from Graham you will find the advice from Michiel easier to do and your body will move like Nicolas mentions.

Well done on going back for more after the first attempts... Paid off after those badass drops 😁

Hadyn Wood Surely that can be fixed? Is it possible to have it fixed up. I am sure by now you have taken to someone?
