So I turn, hold it longer than usual, come back around and…..no speed. Where did I go wrong?

Yeah I have been doing cardboard slides/scoots. Time to see if I can’t improve the form I use. Thanks for the direction.

I’ll look into these cardboard slides you speak of. And yes perfect positioning would help, but that set broke wide.

Any advice on what you should be doing to generate speed to get out of the foam when you get behind it. I do “scoots” and pray, but have no idea what the physics supports as an approach. The sooner you catch back up the more time you have to play.

The video is from last week, before it all clicked. Hoping to get some next time I paddle out in front of a Surfline cam. When I was doing my top turn I would bring it back around and drop nearly straight back down the face, but I should have been wrapping it back around, pointing my nose into the foamball and hitting it there to reset my line. Once that clicked, it was so much easier to be in position for the next section cause when you turn back around after hitting the foam ball you’re already in the pocket. Thank y’all for repeatedly pointing it out to me.

Graham Marsden heard. I agree that I could have, but I didn’t feel comfortable risking someone else’s face on my skill set regardless of priority. I get that the paddling surfer needs to be out of the way. But in all reality the spot I was surfing draws lots of inexperienced surfers and I don’t expect anyone else to follow the rules of road. I take the advice that I could have angled steeper to draw on the power. Would you recommend that same technique in a fatter softer less vertical wave?

Graham Marsden thanks for that. I wasn’t so worried about priority. The guy paddling was hoping I pass in front of him so her could paddle out behind me, but I was concerned in the moment of angling out towards him. The wave here is kinda fat and I’m hesitant to try to go too to. Bottom out of fear of losing momentum. I’ll give it a try next time. Hadn’t seen your reccomendation before today’s surf.

How close to the guy paddling out in front of me during the drop would you reccomend to go in setting the bottom turn? Hypothetically of course I’m not trying to run anyone over.
