That looks pretty good to me 👍

I'd say the main thing to work on now would be to relax more. Your body seems very tense and I think that's stopping you from raising your elbows which is restricting your compress/ extend.

Once you get that, it should help you be able to lower your head in the rectangular bowl.

When I'm out the back I make an effort to keep stretching my arms, legs and back to stop my muscles seizing up which helps.

I presume they're waiting until Clay and Ant's schedules coincide again... 🙁

Looks like nice conditions 👍

How are you holding the camera?

Out of interest, I looked at how to get into a Zipless Wetsuit and found this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhyhWVzApvwIt looks like they have a bit more stretch than regular suits, but I couldn't say for certain without trying one.

Looks better than me with two good hips!

Damn, that's pretty impressive 👍

Rips make life easier because the incoming water has to go back out somewhere.

Clay explains this in one of the videos.

I made my own from the slats of an old bed 👍

Chest zip suits have less of an issue with water flushing through when you wipe out.

I have heard of zipless suits, but I don't know how difficult they are to put on.

I use a Tiki 4/3 for most use, adding hood boots and gloves when it gets colder.

I've also got an O'Neil 2mm Rashie with built in hood which adds extra insulation in really cold conditions.
