And a Happy Humbug to everyone in the OMBEverse! 🤙

It's difficult to say without video, but i believe that bogging the rail can be caused by things like being too far out on the shoulder, not having enough speed or having your weight too far back, making the board stall.

That's pretty good 👍

You should already have encountered the Bosu ball drills and you'll have the Cardboard Slide and Surf Skating coming up which will help you work on compressing and extending.

You have a nice foundation to build on, just relax, lift the elbows and stack over the front foot 🙂

From the first clip, compare your body posture with the other guy.

See how he's relaxed, extended and stacked over the front foot where you're bending from the waist.

Try some Bosu ball and surf skate practise to work on your posture and you should find things improve 👍

Matt Lyne It was pretty busy because it was good and it was Saturday, but Bracklesham Bay is big, so you can always move along to an emptier spot.

There's not just one peak 👍

You can get waves in quite a few places along the south coast of the UK if you look on Surf Line, but they're generally either small or messy (or both ☹️ )

Just occasionally, however, there's some really nice conditions if the stars align!

I was using my 7'6 Torq Mod Fun, but if I'd been able to paddle more I'd have been on the 6'11 Clayton Ambassador.

Much of the time, however, the only one I can sensibly use is the 8'2 Torq V+ because there's so little push.

Where are you coming from?

You're bending from the waist, rather than stacking on the front foot and compressing/ kissing the knees.

Have a look at the Bosu ball drills to practise your stance.

nick kirk Don't worry about the tail pad, the only time you need to have your foot on it is if you're doing vertical snaps off the lip!

Concentrate on getting your front foot at the widest part of the board and stack your bones so you're standing upright and you'll find it much easier 👍

1) As you take off, before you try to get up, straighten your legs and arch your back back so your head is up, instead of your chin being almost on the board.

2) Look under the Browse tab of the App for the Pre-Pop Up video 👍

Clayton Nienaber Sorry, just wanted to check, will Lifetime membership of OMBE include Surf Lab going forward?
