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.

Giulio Bamonte Yes. Make sure to get some this week. It's back on after a whole lot of flatness.

Ik haven't tried the wave pool. Any waves pool. But I think all that volume might actually work against you at some point. Judging from your takeoff I don't think you actually need it. Although positioning is considerable harder in the washing machine we call the North Sea.

If you'd like to try something smaller you can try one of my boards sometime. (Sea, not pool, that concrete scares me too haha)

Your head's not actually too upright. That's more of a thing to focus on when you hit a tighter corner to practice too turns/snaps. This bowl is more flow oriented. Malieveld is where I practice my top turns.
