When I was a kid I loved the Old Spice advert with Carl Orff's O Fortuna belting out behind it (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmwEC70Psgo )

We used to go to Croyde Bay in north Devon and stay at Ruda holiday park and I wanted to do "proper (stand up) surfing" but my parents would only spring for a wooden body board 🙁

Wind the clock on about 35 years and I thought "I've got the time, I've got the money, I've always wanted to do it", so I found a campsite (again in Croyde) paid for some lessons from Surf South West and got hooked!

Jeremy Dean  Could you have a look at this thread and see if there's any way of dealing with these issues?

Thanks.

Graham Marsden Nope! That reply still has the line breaks!

Wierd 🙁

But this reply also had line breaks and they've gone again!!!

Another thing I've found that is annoying with this new software is that some replies allow you to include line breaks to improve readability, but other responses have them stripped out, so it's just a solid block of text.

This can make advice harder to understand when you're trying to help someone.

It's the front foot that's important, as long as you're stacked over that, you should be fine.

The usual advice from Clayton is "Don't worry about the back foot, let it go wherever it feels it should be" and if you don't have enough flexibility to keep it flat, then let the heel lift.

If you look at the OMBE breakdowns of some of the pro surfers, you'll often see their back foot moving around, and be on the ball or flat, depending on which manoeuvre they're doing.
