Looking good 👍

A couple of suggestions:

1) When putting the coffee cup down, remember that the movement is in the legs.

Compress your knees, rather than bending forward, as that will keep your back straight.

2) Your shoulders look rather tense, try to relax them, but lift your elbows.

Also, especially when you twist to the left, get used to bringing your front arm up and putting your elbow in your back pocket which will help your turns.

Thanks for the write up, it sounds like it was great 👍

I certainly hope we'll be doing the Intermediate course as well 🤞

Most of the time round here, we don't get the choice apart from "take it or leave it"!I've been out in 3-4' a couple of times which, when you're used to only getting 1-2' at most, is a big step up... 😮

As you step your front foot through, your hips go up and your head looks down.Try reversing it, like in the Drills, start from standing, step your front foot back, then your rear foot etc and concentrate on keeping your head up and feeling what each stage does with your body.

Then do it forwards again. 

Roxy Susanne Gunther  Ah, I see what you're saying now.Well, I think you can figure out my answer, but that's mostly because if I didn't, I probably wouldn't get any waves much of the time... 😕

Roxy Susanne Gunther Are you asking if it does (it does!) or at what speed it does?

This page shows what happens to water/ waves as the wind speed increases.

That video I just posted about my left turns was probably about Force 4, possibly gusting to Force 5 and you can see the conditions weren't great ☹️
