Nice style. Turn your head back to the foam on the cutbacks. Sometimes I forget to look back and sometimes I feel like something is blocking my head from rotating, but my turns feel more lively when I am able to get my head around. Board really follows.

Still struggling with getting my lead arm out of the way, but the biggest thing that has helped me with frontside turns is changing my line.

Go for the turn early in the wave even if it's a bit forced at times. It will increase the number of attempts per session, and it's a metric you can log in the journal.

What is off camera? Is that an enclosed bowl with coping all round? If so, it takes a while of pumping around the bowl to build up speed when starting from the bottom. Riding a bowl similar to that was one of the motivating factors to learn to drop in, but I've yet to try it with surf skate trucks.

I think your turns still look pretty good.

I'd still be happy with that cutback, but it does look like you projected farther onto the shoulder than needed from cutting the bottom turn short.

Maybe try to ride off the back of the wave about half way through the ride on a wave or two to get the feeling of traveling to the top of the wave.

I think you did pretty well to get beyond the whitewater from that takeoff spot.

I don't know if it's better to stay higher in the foam like you did after that initial pump or if you would have been better off staying below the foam and doing another cardboard slide.

On small/fast beach breaks I tend to get stuck behind the foam or blow right past the pocket and out onto the shoulder, so I'd be curious to know the best approach as well.

Coryn Daniel yeah not sure, says private now and I don't see it when searching on youtube.

Coryn Daniel Thanks for the encouragement.!

Graham Marsden I think I need to tie that arm to my side. I think it's reacting to something else I am doing rather than leading the movement.

For the take off, I am really surprised how much I am misreading the wave in the water. I think part of it is fear of getting stuck behind the section.
