I've seen suggestions about hair conditioner, but I'd be dubious about the effects it might have on the suit and the environment, hence why I'd prefer a properly designed product.

Tom Tebbatt Yes, I've only worn it twice.

It's annoying because there's nice conditions today, but I just don't have the energy to fight the wetsuit and surf ☹️

Hadyn Wood Hope you manage to get out today, Saunton is looking sweet 🤙

But apart from that, you're OK... 🤔

It's really difficult to see anything (to start with I couldn't even tell which surfer was you!)

But, at a guess, judging by what I can see, I'd think that you're not on the front foot, your back arm seems to be going behind your back and probably your front arm is blocking your twist.

Try getting more on the front foot, lifting the front elbow and putting it in your back pocket which may help.

I would say your best move would be to get a Bosu ball and a surf skate and practise stacking on the front foot and keeping your coffee cup arm (back arm) forward.

Nice, but try getting more front on so you can look at the lip 👍

Michael Van Mil Sorry, Pantomime is a traditional British Christmas theatre show for kids, performing stories like Cinderella, Aladdin etc.

The villain is hiding behind a bush as the hero is on stage and the audience calls out "He's behind you!"

The villain ducks as the hero turns round, so the hero says "Oh no he isn't!" to which the audience responds "Oh yes he is!!" 😁

Ahem, anyway, yes, work on the front arm 😉

Looking at the video, the question I'd ask is "Where's the foam?"

"It's behiiiinnnd yoouuu...!" (Sorry, it's pantomime season here in the UK 😁)

As Clay says, you're not extending, also your front arm is blocking your twist, so you can't look back to the foam.

You can still practise compressing and extending on a surf skate in the flats, but it's not as good as in a bowl.

You could also do it on a Bosu ball and work on lifting your front elbow and putting it in your back pocket.

I think you should be giving us tips 😉

But, you're probably right about the coffee cup, you're leading with your front arm which is putting you side on, so maybe look at the stick surfing/ skating drills to get your shoulders square and your hands over the rails.

Also possibly you could have been further out to your right when taking off for a longer ride, but it's still a lovely wave 👍
