No idea what pantomime season is 😂. Yeah front arm has to go up, so my back arm can pass the coffee. Totally forgot about it. Thanks for the reply.

So what would be the best exercise to get more extension and my surfing better. On dry land. I don’t have a skate bowl to practice only flat roads.

Hello,

Happy new year everyone.

Got some new footage from my last trip. Sad enough I still surf like a wooden plank. 😂 Well I think I doing a pet good for surfing 5 years. However I want to improve more. So please tell me what is ping wrong. Notice already the pop up my leg goes outside. On land I’m not doing that. Maybe because it take more time. Also I notice it last summer so still a bad habit that’s not out of my system yet. I do stand up more , but think it need to compress more. Any advise is welcome. Thank you.

What is going to happen with the video feedback? Will OMBE still be the same but we can’t upload video for your feedback anymore?

Although I got improvements on my back side, still there is a lot more to improve. First time I could keep up with the wave this time and go up a bit. Think me back hand have to come more to the front. How can I go more up to 12 o’clock? Please tell me what I can do to improve more.

I am not an expert only surfing for 5 years, but have the feeling you rush your bottom turn. And doing that puts the weight on your back foot. So yes more front on. But I would be happy to be able what you do. Beautiful wave.
