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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlNs6aecK0I
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.
