Not that I’m aware off. But you comment something like: commenting to bookmark for later. You can find all the things you’ve posted etc in your own profile. Maybe that’ll work?

How about hitting the bank on the right, then hitting the left corner (backside turn), then the other corner (front side turn)

Loved that.

Also enjoyed seeing your home break! Looked quite clean, is it often like this?

A lot better than the last one. On that second turn focus on looking across diagonally to the top of the lip and you'll get it. As Hadyn Wood mentioned on the previous post you need a lot of speed to lean that far. Or rather, leaning is the only way to actually turn when you're going a lot faster.

Great bus to be on. We've got t-shirts.

To me it mostly looks like you're overthinking it. I've seen you way smoother than that. I think you're trying to get your head lower?

My tip would be to put something on the coping to help you do the turns on that section in the back. Like two cans of beer on opposite sides. Instead of trying so hard just look at those (and point with your back hand) You body will sort itself out.

Plus you can have a beer.

That's one lovely bowl.

My number one tip would be this: keep your right hand up at sort of shoulder level and a bit more forward. Might sound crazy but AI think that will automatically make you lean more (when appropriate). You are still quite straight up on some of those turns. Give it a try.

Graham Marsden definitely a case of auto cucumber

Technique. The top of that turn should be a twist. But as Clayton would say, if the twist is broken it defaults to a lean. Hence the falling backwards. Done it plenty of times myself. The solution is to twist your body (and get your left arm out of the way to do that). And point your board back down the wave. Ideally look back at the foam.

I’ve gotten this wrong a lot of times myself. As others have pointed out sharing is a good way to fix this. You’ll learn very quickly that falling because you forget to twist hurts. Ask me how I know…

There's some extension and compression going on but I would recommend also twisting at the top of the wave. Meaning, turn your upper body to face down the wave again to drop back in and gain new speed.

Kerry Lynn Robbert does it only happen in the water, or also when you practice on land?
