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.

Scott Wagenblast IIRC Clay and Ant did a Coach's Eye breakdown of John John Florence's surfing.

This photo shows how he's compressing on the bottom turn and using his coffee cup hand like a surfboard, skimming the surface of the wave.

I'd suggest this would be a good thing to work on.

I think you're right about changing your focus.

On the screenshot, you're already fully extended, but you haven't finished the bottom turn, so you've got got nothing to do when you're going up the wave.

Hold the bottom turn longer, then extend and lift your elbows so you can point at the lip.

Angelina Steph As I recall, when you're turning frontside, you can touch your cheek with the back of your rear hand to help you twist through the turn.

PS yes, we do miss Ant ☹️

In one of the surf skate videos where Ant is practising a frontside top turn, Clay suggests that, as he twists, he opens his arms like he's going to give the camera a Bear Hug 👍

Now that looks better! 👍 You get the front arm out of the way and look back at where you want to go.

The next issue I'd suggest is that, after the cut back, you go mid-face and bend at the waist, instead of going top to bottom and rebounding off the foam.

It's certainly better, but I think you're right about the front arm.

Also you're back foot heavy and not looking to the foam where you want to go.

Maybe some more practise on the surf skate 🙂

When turning backside, try lifting your elbow higher and out to the side which should help you twist and keep your back straight as you're bending over from the waist.

Also it looks like you're holding your breath as there's a lot of tension in your face, so try blowing a raspberry to help you relax 🙂

Nice pump track (better than my local one!)

I'd suggest doing less with the arms and more with the knees.

Kiss the knees and extend to give yourself drive, the arms just point the way.
