On the pop up, I'd suggest you need to bring your back knee forward and under your chest. At the moment it goes out by the right elbow.

This is probably what is also compromising your stance.

You need to be more like this...

I think it depends on the board.

Some Longboards are designed for performance and have thin rails which you can use to carve (look at drop knee turns which are similar to kissing the knees), but if the rails are thicker or the board is longer, you'll need to bring your weight onto the back foot so you can lift and pivot the nose.

That's pretty good 👍

The only things I'd suggest is to lift the front arm and put your elbow in the back pocket to help you twist, and to stop looking down at the bottom of the bowl, instead try to spot the camera so you're looking where you want to go.

Great to hear it!

Just remember that you may suddenly find yourself on the downslope of the S Curve, but that's because you've unlocked a new level 🤙

Try turning your back foot so it's 45 degrees from the nose and your knee points the way you're going.

That will help you get your shoulders and hips facing forward and you'll be able to lift the front arm up and out of the way to let you look at the foam.

Ouch ☹️

Hope you recover soon.

Yay, I can finally see it!

Ok, looks pretty good, here's a couple of suggestions:

1) On the take off, keep your feet together and arch your back so your head is up to let you look down the line at the wave and see what it's doing.

This will also help you get the rail engaged for your bottom turn.

2) You're half way between "freeze" mode where you don't want to move in case you wipe out, and "flight" mode where you're racing down the line out onto the shoulder.

You need to raise your elbows and stand up so your hips are forward and your weight is stacked over the front foot, this will make it easier to compress and extend so you can use the whole wave face and twist to let you look at the foam and pass the coffee there.

Ron S A. Unfortunately you've set that to private 😕

I'd say that you need to use more of the wave.

After the take off, you're only using the bottom third of the wave.

You can only gain speed by going top to bottom.

Try extending more and pointing your hands to the lip.
