Libby, thank you for the details. I’d be more interested in learning about the internal information. I think that’s a very big part of surfing (and other aspects).

Ocean surfing is different than a wave pool, at least for me it is. Oddly, I do much better in the ocean vs wave pool.

That leash exercise sounds like a great drill to practice. Things do happen out there. I’ll have to incorporate drill every now and then.

Regarding INTERMEDIATE PATH, yes! We’ll jump right in next weekend! 👏👏🙏😀

That’s just wonderful!! Sounds like it was a boatload of fun!! We can’t wait to hear about it, and see pics and videos, too (if you have some you’d like to share).

Si R Yes, very interesting. The title is what had drawn me in to watch it.

That’s so awesome, Libby, that thatywhat we’re working on this week, session 5. Hopefully we’ll get to see some videos after it’s all said and done. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience so far with us here!! 🙏😀

We run the full gamut here! From ankle biters to double overhead + (typically that would be a hurricane swell).

These are all here at the same surf spot. I have to post them separately.

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!!
