Any idea what clicked for you? Struggling with my right arm as a goofy foot.

John Kuras Yeah that's tough. The wave pool would be a nice addition to that area. The surf skating is a lot of fun and definitely helps to keep you motivated and engaged through the flat spells.

Looks good. Have you had a chance to surf since making the progress in the bowl? NJ has been almost completely flat to start the year.

Nice!

John Kuras Yeah, looks like you'd have enough space on most the attempts to clear that ledge. I think backside turns generally feel easier for the reasons you mentioned, but the coping can definitely be hard to judge. I am always surprised how much room I have when looking at my video clips.

John Kuras Does that ledge stop around that shadow line in the clip?

For the backside turn, I know you're watching out for that ledge from the roll in, but it might help get your board around if you start turning your head to look back at the opposite corner sooner.

Thanks, that makes sense. I'll try to focus on that next time out.

I think part of the bend at the waist is from sucking my legs up to get the board to the top of the wave, but agree it looks like I am collapsing/folding over at the start of the turn.

It feels like the board drops out from under me as I go back down the wave through the turn. Do you think that might be from not having enough weight over the front foot?
