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.

Hi Michiel thank you for the time you have taken to help me get my video up and running here. My son has also suggested I get up quicker. Yes the board was the wrong one to use in this situation. It is a JSI Xero 5"8' 28ltr.

I should have taken my JSI Sub Xero 5'10" 37ltr. 

Thank you for the information about getting up in the trough though. I hadn't noticed that. Gliding across was intentional as I found it was the only way to stay ahead of the white wash on that little board.

In regard to Bali. Three foot is about my limit so long as the face isn't steep. Gentle rolling waves are my favourite if that is possible and at this stage I am concentrating on travelling right. 

Thanks again for the help - Libby

Hi Maria, nice to here from you and thank you for your politeness regarding the video's. While they are nothing to brag about, for me they are a starting point. But it is irritating watching yourself make the same mistakes every wave, but actually I have learnt a lot from them. Especially about my pooman stance. I wondered why I am bending from the hip rather than the knee's, when I do squats all the time at the gym. I realise that I always try to do full range of motion squats. All the way down and all the way up. But I have never mixed the depth of them up so I have started doing so. It hurts! The best thing about looking crap for me is it makes me more determined to improve. Hope you are doing well and your hip is improving

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.

Michiel van Gerven I did what Graham said. I went to youtube and found I had a page there that already had a video I had made there some years ago. So I followed the instructions. I worked out how to use Apple iMovie and I downloaded that to YT

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.
