I'd suggest getting a surf skate and practising in a bowl.

There's a lot going on with the arms, but it's not transferring to the board.

Slow things down and turn the hips and shoulders so you can point the arms and look where you want to go.

Clayton Nienaber I'm literally just repeating the stuff I've seen you say so many times in the Live Chats and training clips 🤙

When you take off, you immediately turn out onto the shoulder instead of dropping down the wave.

Also you're heavy on your back foot, so when you try to go up the wave, it kills your speed.

Try to stand on the front foot with your back straight so you don't bend at the waist, and go more nose to the beach at the start which should help.

Try using the icon on the left instead.

Although I think there's a size limit of 100mb, so it may be better to upload the video to YouTube and share the link.

This also makes it easier for others to scroll through the clip etc.

For the stress paddling, try doing some body surfing to get the feel of where the power is in the wave.

As for the stance, I'd suggest getting a surf skate and practising in a bowl, working on keeping your head up and your hips down.

Those waves look nice 👍

I think you need to be a bit more front on 👍

Nice 👍

Now just get the front arm out of the way so you can pass the coffee back to the foam...

I'd suggest that your issue is here:

As you stand up, you're bending over from the waist and that's destabilising you.

If you can drop your hips and raise the elbows, that should help you straighten your back.

Also don't look down at the board...

Check out Clay's recent YouTube video series on the pop walk up.

Nice Oreo Biscuit technique, though 👍

This happened before to Hadyn Wood but I don't recall how it was fixed.

Easiest thing is to upload the video to YouTube and share the link in here.
