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.

Giles Oatley Well I'm 59, but I tend to go there when there aren't hordes of kids around, mostly because it means I can just practice the same thing over and over without needing to wait for others 🙂

Ian Warren  Thanks for that, I've had another look at my video and I see what you mean. I'm sort of rushing on the upslope, compressing late, then extending too early (and too quickly), before the board really gets onto the transition.I'll have another go on Wednesday and hopefully be able to get it sorted 🤞

Nice video! I think you're right about the level, because you look like you're taking what Clay calls the Intermediate line, racing out onto the shoulder, your POV footage shows the wave off into the distance, but you're not looking back to the foam.You have a nice relaxed posture, but maybe it's a bit too relaxed as your hands are low and not following the angle of the wave.Try turning your back foot so it's more like 45 degrees from the nose and bring your coffee cup (back) arm up and forward. This will let you get more front on and make it easier to look back to the foam.

@Libby - Clay started using his fists when he had to have surgery on the palms of his hands. It does also have the advantage of effectively adding a couple of extra inches to your arm.

A correction to my previous correction!

It was the March Feedback Session that didn't work, the April one is available.

If you can't see it, I suggest you message Jeremy Dean

Apologies for any confusion I may have caused 😳

You need to get more front on, that way you can stop racing down the line and look back towards the pocket which is out of the picture! 😮Try to lead with your coffee cup (back) arm and get your hips and shoulders facing the way you're going, that will make it easier for you to twist and look at the foam.
