Welcome to my world, and pretty much anyone who surfs beach breaks in the UK!We can get a good primary ground swell coming in, but often it's overlaid by a short period secondary windswell that causes choppy conditions and little "spoiler" waves that interfere with the main swell, resulting in messy conditions that make it very difficult to catch anything good 🙁

Nice flow 👍

I wish I could get that smooth ☹️ I also wish I had a local bowl that was as good as that...

One thing: your top half looks very tense, maybe try relaxing your shoulders a bit more?

The next Live is now scheduled for October 22nd, look under Browse/ Upcoming live events in the app.

But videos are dealt with in order of uploading and they only deal with about 8-10 each time, so you might not get into the next one.

Do the video anyway and upload it, but you can also post them in here to get feedback from other OMBE members 👍

Clayton Nienaber That's fair enough, but I think they were also asking for suggestions about which board(s) to bring 🙂

Sounds good! 🤙

The shorter the board, the easier it will fit into bigger waves, but the harder it will be to catch smaller ones.

What are you riding at the moment?

Craig Leggat You'd be better off emailing OMBE directly, I'd think.

People are likely to jump into this thread with recommendations of their favourite board, or, at least what they're riding at the moment, but that may not be what's going to be good for you.

Go to local shops and chat to them (be honest about your skill level), then hire a few different boards and see how you get on with them.

You want something that you feel reasonably comfortable on, but is also a bit challenging so you've got room to advance.

Also, when you're in the line up, chat to other Surfers and ask them about their boards, what they're like, what's good and bad about them etc.

Some may offer to swap boards for a few waves so you can experiment and see how you get on.

Ali Lexa In the app look under Browse and scroll down to Feedback on your Surfing.

Cath Gito I had to log out and back in to the app to get it to work, but it's ok now.

Thanks 👍
