Embrace the suck 👍

Maria Molè I know the feeling. There was a forecast for a nice swell this morning. I woke up and looked at the webcam to see a completely flat sea 🙁 I also missed last month's Live chat because they moved it to the day before and I didn't get a notification. Oh, and I can't even surf skate because it's been pi$$ing down with rain...

I've posted in the Surf Hacks Facebook group asking if the Live is going to be rescheduled 🤞

Maria Molè  Look for the "Surf Hacks" group on Facebook.

It seems nothing's going to happen unless there's a time zone screw up? About 4 hours ago, Clay commented on a Facebook post I'd made, so I thought it would be ok 🙁

I don't think it's started yet.I think the old Zoom chats were better...

Maria Molè As far as I know it's at the same link.

Maria Molè I believe it shows a countdown in your local time zone.

Maria Molè Go to https://train.ombe.co/catalog and scroll down to Feedback on Your Surfing to find the links to the May Feedback Sessions (even though, for some reason, the tab in my browser says "March"! 🤔)

A fat wave will probably give you an easier take off and glide, whereas a steep wave may require you to be "on point" with your technique simply because you have less time to get up before you end up nose diving or the wave dumping on you.So use slow, fat waves to practice, but don't get lazy.Also remember that, as Clay says, often it's not a pop up/ walk up problem, but a looking problem, so make sure you pick a line appropriate for the wave you're trying to catch.
