Graham-

Can you help me find the 12-week program on the app? I can not find it anymore, and it was my favorite program.

Thanks

My experience- I’ve had a Seaside for a few years, it’s a board that I have mixed opinions about.

Pro-

Decent paddler

Foam up front for easier wave catching

Cons:

Not the easiest to turn, I can see the extra force you are putting to get it I

In rail

Needs a wave with some power - definitely not a grovler.

My suggestion- try a more performance shape with similar volume. Maybe a puddle jumper or even a longer psb. I also prefer thrusters when in the pool.

Have a great time. Looking forward to hearing your experiences.

Headed back out tomorrow. I’ll keep you updated on my wave-catching progress.

Scott - where are you coming from? I live near West Chester. Pa and wouldnt mind fellow OMBE member’s perspective.

Graham Marsden I will absolutely do.

Graham Marsden - so you got me thinking. I had to lay on the floor and practice my Oreo/ pop-up - I am pushing hard through my torso/midsection but my thighs/legs are almost off the board with no weight on them at all. Do I need to instead push weight through legs(top of feet almost) to get the most from this technique? That could totally explain why I am catching the wave so late - not getting the push from the wave from the tail of the board, rather the mid-section under my waist.

Maria Molè 100% - amazing eye! It was my first time there and I just couldn’t get the take-off location correct. Have to start the opposite direction of the wave - bizarre for sure

Ok Graham Marsden. I will focus on keeping my legs straight and together. I will keep you updated. Thanks for your input!

Yep, agree 100%.

What I don’t show are the multiple waves before this one that I completely miss when trying to catch them. Maybe I can send you a clip of that and you can help me to understand what I doing wrong.

Thank you so much for your reply Graham Marsden .
