Do you ride a longboard or a shortboard? If you had to pop like that on a shortboard you would be nose riding big time, and is actually too far for a longboard even 😉

You step quite far forward with your back leg to start with which moves you forward a lot. Step so your back foot is where your knees are when lying down, and then walk up from there.

Hey John, when you doing your front side turn, it looks you keep looking to your left which keeps your turn wide... I think if you look down to the bottom of the ramp where you want to go sooner your turn will be tighter. 

You doing it great on the back side turn, yet the front you have a much wider turning circle... Stop looking at the rail 😉

Way to go Graham... OMBE is EEEEverywhere 😂

Thanks Hadyn, they kind of felt the way they looked... Decided that was my last wave for the day... End on a great feeling😀

This is in Jeffreys Bay. The surf spot is called The Point

Was such a fun wave. Thanks Clayton!

The change I noticed the most, is that I became a lot more calm on the board, which lead to me remember more and I could remind myself to get more on the front foot. 

So now, I feel I am more stable and I think that has allowed me to look and turn my shoulder more.

Lift your coffee cup arm up, it will help you straighten up, and you'll be able to look and twist better.

Hey Will... If you bring your front foot back a bit the board will loosen up more, it is difficult to turn when the front foot so forward. Your stance looks exactly like mine when I was starting 😀 

I can't see your pop up, are you perhaps putting your front foot forward first?

Surf skate will help, and you can also cut a piece of cardboard that is the same length as the correct stance, then practice your walk up on that to get muscle and placement memory.

After a few rounds of that, begin to incorporate the cardboard slide. Practicing on a BOSU will also help with not stepping too far.
