I'd be happy if I could actually even get on a wave like that (probably not ever going to happen ☹️)

But the thing that stood out IMO was that you got projected out onto the shoulder when you could have got in at least another top turn if you'd got more on rail.

But your friends were impressed and I'm sure everyone else here is too 🤙

You get the principle when you say a wave is moving forwards.

If you plot your surfing path in 3D, it's not a simple parabola as you're being pushed forward at the same time.

A curved bowl face replicates this more realistically. 👍

Look at the Browse/ OMBE Insiders/ Feedback on your surfing replays of the old Live Chats.

Often Clay talks about the "strike zone", ie the part of the wave that you're going to be engaging with next.

When you take off, you want to look down the line to see what the wave is going to do, but not looking so far that you're not aware of the immediate surroundings.

Lovely wave!

I would suggest that maybe you need to go further down the face before you start your bottom turn.

Get more Nose to the Beach to pick up speed, then pass the coffee to the lip.

Don't forget to look back to the foam after the top turn.

John Kuras Thanks for that.

I can get the stance right when I'm on dry land, but I don't seem to be able get it right on the board ☹️

Thanks for the comments, but my issue at the moment is just to get the stance right.

Once I've got that fixed I can worry about everything else 😕

I'm hoping to get down to Devon soon with better waves, but I always remember what you say about being able to surf poor waves well...

I know I need to get more on the front foot and hips forward, but it's just not happening on the wave ☹️

There's a very short trailer on YouTube, but it's literally just him looking at a whole bunch of virtually identical boards and saying they're different, which isn't exactly guaranteed to hook in viewers.
