Anyone have specific board recommendations for line 3? Im surfing in florida where the waves are generally pretty mushy and powerless. I’m currently riding a 7’2 nsp funboard and I definitely feel like Ive moved on to line 3 and am now looking for something more responsive. Since Im dealing with mushy soft waves I know (based off watching everything i could find on this site) that i want something with a wider nose and a swallow tail. I’m just not sure what brands, specific boards, and dimensions I should be looking at getting.

I’m 5’9 (175 cm) and weigh 195 lbs (88 kg)

Hey guys do you reccomend quads or thrusters for small powerless waves?
A typical day where I surf is usually about knee high and pretty mushy. I ride a 7’2 funboard as a thruster and ive had a lot of trouble making sections. Should I try switching the board over to a quad or just try to pump quicker to get more speed out of the gate?

Hey guys does anyone have any tips for not bogging the rail on the bottom turn on smaller days?

For reference im surfing a 7’2 NSP funboard.

I try to drop to the bottom of the wave before starting the bottom turn to get the most speed possible, but anytime I lean into the turn it just sinks my rail and I either lose all my speed or just completely push the board under water.

What am I doing wrong, and are there any drills that I could be doing to work this out?

John Kuras Thats an awesome tip! I experience the same thing no matter how hydrated I am, my right calf always starts cramping up eventually during a session

Anyone have any tips on how to recover while still at the beach? I go out any morning that we actually have waves here In South Florida. Out here we usually only get windswells which comes with tons of current, so I’m constantly paddling just to stay In position. My paddle strength and stamina has gotten a lot better over time thanks to following all the excersizes on this site however I can usually only last about an hour and a half before I’m completely drained. At this point Im usually pretty stubborn and try push through being tired but my surfing starts to really go downhill as a result.

Should I just go back in to the beach and try to rest for a little while, or should I just be calling it quits on the session at this point?

Also is there anything I can do while still out the back to avoid getting tired?
