Hi JJC I would watch from the very beginning  the Surf Start video that Graham talks about. You might be a Line 4 surfer but your pop up might be way different to what Clayton teaches which is stepping up rather than jumping up. You might paddle and kick like crazy to get on a wave which is completely unnecessary and uses a lot of energy.

Even if you find the beginner stuff boring, there may be a snippet of wisdom in there that you didn't know

Lovely wave Scott. From what I can see I agree you don't seem to be looking where you want to go. Note to self : Funny how you teach best what you most need to learn

Nicely done Fredi

Thanks Graham

How big is your dream Clayton?

I'm not good enough myself to comment. But thanks for submitting the video it is always good to watch and learn from them and the comments of others

Ouch!!!!!!!!

Thanks Rohan that makes perfect sense. I haven't really visualised what my right arm will be doing but yes time to include it in my mind practise. The idea of reaching out to grab the foam is a great way to describe what to do and a good idea to practice reaching around on land. I know a good twisting exercise that might help too. Stand back to a wall, put your left arm in whatever position you want it to be in and reach around as far as you can with the right side of the body. Might even put some tape on the wall as a marking gauge. Cool thanks again Rohan, looking forward to your next video.

You look great Rohan. I have been practising (in my head) that turn back to the froth. I imagine my left hand/arm being in a right angle, the bicep being sort of level with the shoulder and the hand pointing upward. I also imagine it is easier said than done. In reality, to turn left, well let's just say, it doesn't look pretty. You are going great.

Sorry to hear that Nick. Get plenty of rest and I am told Arnica is excellent for inflammation if you are into natural remedies.
