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.

Scott W. I've managed to bash my back toes occasionally, but if it's your front foot which has most of your weight on, definitely make sure it's healed 😬

Sorry to hear that, best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Is it your front or back foot?

Coryn D. This is all I get...

Coryn D. OK, that's weird, it won't show it to me ☹️

Coryn D. Can you see that video?

Most obvious thing I can see is that you're in a poo-man stance, bending from the hips, because your back knee is pointing out to the side instead of to where you're going.

If I were you, I'd look at the surf skating drills and practice compressing and extending over the front foot with your head up and back straight.

Once you've got the posture right, the rest should be much easier.

Oh, and the lifeguards need to have a serious word with the idiot who paddled over the shoulder right in front of you!

To add your own videos, you need to use the Picture symbol (confusing, isn't it!)

But I think the size limit is 100MB.

It's easier to create a YouTube channel and upload them there, then share the link here.

Unfortunately that link appears to be to your OneDrive account which I can't view ☹️
