Ah man that sucks. If I remember correctly this is not the first time? Get well soon.

On a side note the video seems to cut of mid sentence. (For me anyways)

John Kuras may I ask about your line of sight? I may be wrong but you seem to be looking somewhat down (diagonally). I think you might open up your body a bit more and get your hands higher if you move your line of sight up.

Maybe something to try is to out beercans on the coping at various points and to try to look at those to bring your line of sight up. Also, you could have beer after.

Yeah that's my basic thinking too. This one is a 4'10 though. Which sounds pretty crazy.

Mini Simmons sizing

Does anyone have any experiences with Mini Simmons? One popped up in my neighborhood and it's very cheap but I'm also wondering whether I could make it work.

Any ideas on the sizing of those?

And no would it definitely would be my go to regular board, but I think the fun factor might be very high.

In one of Luke Hardacre podcast episodes he describes the motion of a turn as a "motion". Right now that turn at the top left looks like a held position. Might be worth checking out. Can't remember which episode it was exactly though. Maybe Luke can chime in ?

Try anything you might not try normally because you might lose the wave. It's going to happen no matter what you do so you might as well send it.

Also it's a great way to practice steep takeoffs. Your going in the washing machine anyways.

I use surf ears, basically year round. Most people I know do. Except for some very rare windless and warm days. And usually even then.

Context: the Netherlands. Water down to 4 °C and below freezing air temperature in winter. Summer water temperature is about about 20 °C
