Good question. I can’t remember. What I do know is before the BAD one I had done 2 good turns before on the same wave. Maybe I was a bit knackered

Yup Graham you can see in that pic… straight spine versus bending from the hip… Clay always talks about that you can see it there in your picture clearly.

My first thought was look at how I swing my left (back) arm in the better clip. A lot like Ethan does. In the bad one.. I didn’t. Which ruined the rotation

Nice waves. On the lefts you need to look back at the foam. You looking down the line on those turns. On the last one you tried to do it… so you getting there. Keep trying

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

Thanks Cath - good to plan 😃

Clayton taught me on the backhand:

“Hang the washing” (both arms up and square the shoulders at the target)

Then… “flip the burger” (getting that arm back down and riding out)

Works so well.
