Hi Maria, I was looking at OMBE on my phone which seems different to the computer, I saw but can't find now a
post you made to Roxy about having a study group. At the moment I am a bit lost in all the info so that might be a
good idea. Or I need a spreadsheet or something to keep me on track. I just watched the video on Speed Generation
and it is nicely broken down into activities for beg, int and adv. So yes I'm up for something, as I write I think for me
a spreadsheet might work for me. I took some video of me surfskating this arvo which I will put on line for others
to critique.

I wanted to practise adding another video. This is a couple of waves from my second session at the pool. Same board, same wave.
Same day.

I think it is ok now. Please let me know if not.
Also while I'm here and if you have watched the video. Can anyone recommend
a beach I should be near if I go to Bali at the end of July. My only request is that it isn't
too polluted.

Ok I hope this works. I'm a beginner. This is my first of three sessions at the pool.
I am riding a JS Industries 5"8' 28Ltr Xero on the Cruiser wave. I caught 13 waves, I think there are 7 here.
I had hoped to practise less paddling (achieved but difficult when everyone is yelling at you to paddle, paddle, paddle). I
felt rude for ignoring them. I wanted to practise my oreo squeeze, but my glutes went on holiday, so cobra pose hurt a little without
their support.
My step up was average (clumsy and not as fast as I would like). My posture was poor. My focus ended up being firstly on how to position myself in order
to try to stay on the wave and secondly stay on my board at such a slow speed. In hindsight I should have taken my bigger board, a JSI Sub Xero 5"10' 37Lt .
Anyway, have a laugh, this is officially my starting point on my OMBE journey.

Hi I finally have some video of myself (it's pretty ugly) from my first session at the new Sydney Wave pool.
Graham Marsden has told me once before how to get video onto this page but I can't find that now.
So the video work is produced by Flowstate Zone. I use a desktop Mac and I got the video's into my photo library.
The video's play using Quicktime and I think the file is mp4. Graham told me to turn them into youtube video. Exploring, I
discovered I could share on youtube, only I couldn't because of some incompatibility issue. I don't know if that was incompatible
with Quicktime or Flowstate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can someone please tell me. When I create a post how do I know which community it is going to? Sorry I'm not very social media savvy.

Is it possible that a person's board can have too much bouyancy for them? Because my gut is telling me I do. Despite being a Beg.
