@Brian Sterling - Clay has been busy with trips and sorting out a new OMBE base etc.

There's another live planned for the start of June if you look at the Feedback on your Surfing section.

Better than 4-8cm here...! 🤔

I thought you wanted to start with your feet higher.

Stack some books with a sofa cushion on top behind it 🙂

Libby Stano Check out the Bosu Ball Neutral Stance drills and practice compressing and extending on the front foot whilst "kissing the knees" which will help you avoid the poo-man stance.

We can see the video now, thanks for sorting that out 🙂It's actually not looking too bad, you're catching the wave and angling down the line, however your main issue to start with is having the confidence to walk up earlier in the glide section and that's just something that comes with practice (believe me, I know!)Look at the walk-up drills in the Beginners Course and remember to get your back foot angled at 45 degrees from the nose so your rear knee points more towards the way you're going, instead of sticking out to the side. That will help you get your hips and shoulders more front-on and enable you to stack on the front foot so you can stand up smoothly.You've got a good start there, so keep at it 👍

Libby Stano How old is your Mac? It may be that the iOS is too old to be compatible.Here's a page that might help:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/254659965?sortBy=best

Rather than using the app, try going directly to the YouTube web page and upload it there via Create Video.

Scott Wagenblast Thanks for the suggestions.I'm finally starting to get the timing right (or nearly), but I'm certainly going to work on the hands too.

Glad to hear you're back surfing 👍

The only advice I can give for messy conditions (which we often get ☹️) is to be patient, watch the swells and try to time your rides for the cleaner ones.

Best of luck.
