Looks like a really fun wave! That board looks like it might be a little floatier than needed for the way you are surfing, and it might make it harder to get more on rail.

With the current format, my main critique is the 1 minute size limit of the clips.  Ideally, I'd like to be able to see the full wave/ride play out for context before Clayton dives into the breakdown.  With the time limit, I get that playing the wave in full would take away too much time from the analysis, so I think it is what is unless there's a fix for the time limit.

Beyond that I am mostly indifferent to the two formats.  I enjoyed watching the playbacks of the live sessions and the tangents, but it did become a little redundant with a lot of the clips being similar.

Would be curious to know the answer as well. For the wave on the right, did you hit the top turn on a slightly softer part of the wave compared to the one on the left? Looked like maybe you didn't get as much push from the wave when you started the carve and your body got a little out of sync with the board.

I think your technique looks pretty good. I'd suggest changing up your line a bit. For example, around the 12 sec mark on the second wave, you projected straight across the wave and initiated the turn midface. I think if you had set that up by going more nose to the beach and doing more of a bottom turn you would have stayed closer to the power source and gotten more help from the wave on the cutback like Graham suggested. This has helped me recently on my frontside turns.

Looks like a good place to practice. I would say try moving your feet more to the heel side of the board so that your toes aren't hanging off as much.

That's awesome. Nice to be able to surf regularly. Bet the video feedback will be a big help in your progression as well.

Looks like great progress for having just started last year. How often do you surf?

What kind of ramps/bowls are available at the skate park you'd be skating? Are you new to skating or just new to surfskating?

A smaller bowl with mellow transitions could be a good place to start once you get comfortable skating the board on flat ground.

When I first started skating at my local park, I would practice front and backside turns on a quarter pipe and/or a miniramp. If you have access to a bowl, the corners are a lot of fun to turn through as well.

Backside turns feel much easier and safer, and in terms of leaning and getting the board unweighted, I would suggest working on those first.

To lean and match the angle of the ramp, you'll need to carry a bit of speed in order to stick to the ramp. I'd suggest getting comfortable turning at a lower arc staying a bit more upright, and then work your way up from there by carrying more speed into the ramp and projecting up a little higher. You can increase the lean as you carry more speed and turn through the steeper part of the transition.

If you can, go to the skatepark in the morning when it's less crowded. I wear all the pads while at the park. Don't usually need them, but good to have just in case.

Check out the OMBE surfskate videos on youtube and the insiders catalog if you have access. Lot of good tips technique wise.
