I think what you need to do is to lift your elbows which will also help you straighten your back as you seem to be bending from the hips a bit much.

Look at the stick surfing/ skating drills to introduce a pattern interruptor.

Although, personally, I prefer a length of webbing which I can loop around my wrist and tuck into my wetsuit sleeve when I'm paddling out, which is much more convenient 🙂

Nice positioning for the peak 👍

The only comment I'd make is to relax and slow down a bit as it looks like you're rushing things and your arms are moving around a lot but you don't quite leave time for the board to respond.

You always hold the coffee cup in your back arm.

Here's a video which shows more about it: https://train.ombe.co/programs/beginner-pathway?permalink=land-drill-coffee-up-coffee-down-routine-focus-on-breathing-lunging-not-bending-at-hips-unfreeze-your-body-session-4-beg-path&cid=2838955&utm_source=product&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=content_share&utm_term=1914312&utm_content=mobile

You're in a side-on stance which is making your back arm swing behind you and stops you looking at the foam.

Check out the Stick Surfing/ Skating drills which will help you concentrate on getting front-on with your hands over the rails.

If I could do half as well as that, I'd be very happy!

It's a bit difficult to see, but I'd suggest you need to go more top to bottom. It looks like you're rushing out onto the shoulder and then your board is rather flat which is stopping you from getting on rail, hence the loss of speed and lack of spray.

Try holding the bottom turn for longer to get right to the lip, then leaning more into the turn to get back to the foam.

Still looks good, though 👍

Terry W As long as you don't put it on your feet 🙃

That looks pretty good to me 👍

I think you just need to work on the compressing and extending so you can use more of the wave and go top to bottom.

That's next week's lesson 😉

Hope you have a great time and do try to post some video 🤙
