I was comfortable up to head high or a bit higher before surgery. Surgeon put the fear of god in me regarding surfing again. He strongly advised me not to. I finally convinced him to give me the green light and he called it at waist high.

Hate to say, I’ve been out in bigger than waist high waves but the waves were gentle.

Regarding your height and the wave’s height; we’re all the same height paddling for the wave. Head high is 5ft. Overhead is 6ft plus. Chest high is 4ft. Etc. The scariest part of head high or better is looking at the surf from a paddling position! Hawaii wave height is a whole different beast!!

Oh I saw this video!!! Good stuff!! Those CA waves are beautiful, aren’t they?

Looking really good, Roxy!! Really nice changes that you’ve incorporated from Clayton’s live feedback. 👏👏

Awesome, thank you for sharing that link. It was going to drive me crazy looking for it! 🤣

Great advice and explanation. 👏

You guys are too funny!!! Ever since the advice from Clayton to hula hoop, I hold much less tension. Awesome feedback session, as always!!

It definitely helps!!! I’ve been doing the cat-cow and downward dog in the mornings. The effects are short lived though. I stand at work all day. The next morning I have to do them again or I’m crippled 🤣 … I need a good 15 minutes of these. I’m going to start adding in the rotations though.

I love what you’ve done creating this video!!

Lovin’ the slo mo!! I have nothing to add, the master has spoken! 😀

Here it depends on wind direction, facing angle of beach. We’re fortunate to have an unobstructed 180 degree view of the ocean so we can see effects of wind immediately for numerous beach breaks. It’s been really windy here the last few days with winds coming straight from the south… not loving it, it creates nothing but slop and chop. It’s in the 5-10kts range. If it’s a north wind for us, it’s super clean and we can get to 15+ kts and have clean beautiful rides. Just have to get past the wind trying to blow you back off the wave 😀
