“Tension” Aha Moment…Now and then we all wake up with a stiff neck from sleeping wrong on our pillow right? Well I was almost healed and went surfing. Whilst waiting for a wave I had full range to turn my head with only slight discomfort.
I took off on a wave and BOOM I couldn’t even move my neck. Total paralysis. I paddled back out and sat … moved fine. Why?
I was tense and my sore neck exasperated it.
Here is me that same session with a stiff neck but consciously relaxing.
Really drove home Clayton’s point about stiffness and tension killing your movements

Let the wave dictate to you when to turn and what type of turn to do …
Flat = cutback to the power source
Tapered = carve
Steep hollow = re-entry vertical.
Mine I would say was a bit more of a carve than a cutback
