John Kuras Tell me about it, I can't scratch my back with my right arm any more after I (somehow, I don't actually know how) damaged my right shoulder.Personally I find the "roll the thumb" technique actually limits my movement, but if you can't lift the arm maybe just keep it in eg by having the elbow down and touching your shoulder with your hand?

John Kuras You're getting a good angle on the banking, but I think your arms and shoulders are restricting your twist which is stopping you from turning as quickly as you might.

Try lifting the inside hand and, as Clay says, put your elbow in your back pocket.

That should make it easier to look towards the other side and give you more time to prepare for it 👍

That looks pretty good, I wouldn't worry about the back foot as getting stacked over the front foot is more important.

One thing I would suggest is to raise your elbows as you stand up which should help you keep your back straight.

Matt I'm no expert, but I'd say it was a great idea👍

You're going to be spending a lot of time paddling out, so something that let's you work out your back and shoulders is going to help.

Just remember to maintain the Superman posture with your head up, back arched and legs straight.

Get the elbows high so you paddle like you're trying to reach over a barrel and pull with the lats, not just the shoulder muscles.

PS 45? Youngster! 😉

And a Happy Xmas to you and yours 🤙

Scott Wagenblast As Clay says, think of it as a take off.

At the moment the nose of the board is up in the air, so you're coming down on the tail.

You look very back foot heavy.

Even in the recent example you appear to be making the top turn by sitting back and bending at the waist so you're stomping on the rear foot, instead of getting on the front foot and twisting while engaging the rail.

Try to stand up straighter to bring your hips forward and compressing on the leading leg, then lift your right hand so you can put the elbow in your back pocket whilst you push the coffee cup through.

If you mean the Beginners or Intermediate Pathway, you should find it in the app under Browse/ Insiders Surf Lab, then Surf Start or Surf Smart.

Hope that helps (although I do agree that finding stuff is sometimes rather difficult 😕 )

I wish I could afford to get to one of these... 🙁

The foam and the power is behind you, but you're racing away from it and looking at the shoulder where there's less energy.

Look back and you'll go there 👍
