A general quality of life tip for recording. I typically just let the camera run for several runs (up to about 15 minutes) and cut out the dead stuff later. Probably easier than having to sprint around all the time. Also where I live the Action sells a €3 tripod/selfie stick that is really good for setting up your phone. Beats leaning it against bags etc.

How's your mental game? These could be some serious freight trains.

John Dennis o absolutely. Snowboarding is pretty much fully side on unless you do a posi posi stance. Good for carving, which I guess makes sense.

Reminds me a lot of when I started skating. Keep at it, you'll be amazed how far you can get in a short time with consistent practice.

Try freezing the frame at two seconds. Your left arm is coming over to the right side of the board. That'll block your shoulder from opening up. (And make you fall once you start taking steeper lines).

With regards to the coloured line. Obviously I'm not Clayton, but every wave will be different so there really is no point to trying to adapt to a specific line.

Giulio Bamonte o I'm sorry. Does sound like it could've been me. I usually wear earplugs so maybe those blocked out the sound. My bike is a blue piece of shit with a board rack on the left. Fish is a 5'8 retro fish. I'm quite skinny. So do try again if that was me!

Can I ask something completely different? What’s the wave to board hits the wall ratio? That channel is so narrow and it’s a short wave…

As Graham Marsden mentioned, the carver tritons are a cost effective way to go. I bought mine in a skate store because I wanted to feel it out. (Also size wise). I never replaced the wheels but I did buy a skate tool to adjust some of the bolts that were either too loose (on the pivot point of the front trucks) or too tight (the nuts holding the wheels) if you already have a regular took set those will also work.

I would personally never opt for a swallow tail. To me they sound like an interesting way to get hurt.

The only bad training is the one you didn't do.

Giulio Bamonte that's the plan. Although I might get stuck at work because we need to finish something important. If I make it out it will be after 20:30. Come and say hi if you see a guy on a bright green bottomed fish.
