Third session Sydney Wave Pool still riding JSI Xero 5"8' 28ltr. This wave session is called
Progressive Turns. As you can see I am yet to make any turn at all :) Always fun to be surfing
with my son though

Hey Maria, you say digitally. You don't mean I have to learn another computer skill like Zoom or something do you?

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.

Hi Roxy my Bosu looks the same as yours. I don’t know how to find it on the OMBE site but if you google Bosu Surfer you’ll find Clayton doing some tutes. I found my Bosu really slippery to stand on barefooted, tried sanding the base no better so went to the hardware and got some grip tape. I have no idea how you are going to get your foot up from what I see in the video sorry

Hello Brian I’m Libby, new to OMBE and indeed to social media this year so I am still finding my way. I actually did post 2 videos this week. I can’t tell what community you are in but my video’s are in the private one. So, where are all your videos. If you want a laugh I can download the video of me trying to Surfskate this afternoon, always a terrifying experience.

Thanks Graham. I have been a bit confused about my feet actually, or should I say my rear foot. But yes at times especially as I fatigue, my knee drags in the water on its way up. Thanks for the positive feedback - Libby

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
