Hey just a quick question. I’ve been surfing the advanced wave at the wave pool and I’m fairly comfortable on this setting. Recently I’ve started surfing the advanced plus setting (a bigger more powerful wave). I make the take off on this wave about 50% of the time and I’m trying to work out what I’m doing wrong. The times I mess this up even though I’m angling the board I tend to nose dive. I’ve tried a few things to try and make this better. First I changed board moving to more of a high performance short board with a bit more rocker as I thought maybe the board wasn’t fitting into the wave. Now I’m thinking perhaps I should experiment with the take off angle. Looking at some footage it looks like I drop in to the bottom of the wave and bottom turn. Perhaps I need to angle the board more, stay higher on the wave, pop up, then ride down the face and bottom turn? Anyone have any thoughts?

Same question here, too compressed, should I be extending now?

Hi everyone, do you think I’m compressed to much here or just right?

Hey Guys,

Thought I would post some content from the wave pool. I remember when I did this bottom turn, I felt on the edge of losing control of it. Very close to falling off. But after looking at the photo after the session I realised its probably the best bottom turn I’ve done. So I suppose it is about getting that balance right between what is a comfortable in terms of control, so you can try something new until that becomes comfortable. Have said that I haven’t managed to replicate this turn again! Well not yet anyway 🤣
