I'm a beginner. I love small surf because I surf for fun. Scaring myself on big waves is not fun for me. But like Tony I often get frustrated with feeling like a sack of potatoes. The biggest thing I got out of this video was watching Yani ride top to bottom as I like Tony, tend to just ride across the face. Not that at my level I can do the turns Yani was doing. I can see how I can progress my turns rather than just attempting a little wiggle, running out of momentum and sinking into the white wash. Thanks a very informative video

Hi I surf natural, I'm right handed but according my P/T and my Dad, I take the stance of a left handed boxer. As a kid on a skate board I could never push with my back foot while keeping my weight on my left leg. I'm transitioning from freeboarding. Surfing behind a boat. So being conscious of keeping my weight forward on my left leg is my biggest challenge. Nor can I ride a large non responsive board. If it doesn't move when I do, I just fall off. I'm not sure whether I have good or bad balance as a result. We all have our quirks.

I am wondering whether hyper mobility of the front hip when internally rotated could be advantages or not

To answer your question, I would have to explain to you my life experience and that would take an essay. I will have to think about how to answer you briefly. Thank you v much for responding and for your interest. Regards Libby
