I am still so far away from decent surfing that this is even embarrassing to say, but I have felt the “buttons” on the board for the first time and could turn to the foam and the back to the face of the wave. Skateboarding is helping a lot. Next time I’d like to drop more vertical from the pop up and try a proper bottom turn. In addition I have to look better towards were I want to go. On the skate it’s starting to happen. Not yet in the water.

Thanks Graham, your comments are always very useful! Yes I definitely see that my weight is on the back foot, which going down the wave/skatebowl, is not correct indeed. I should be much more on my front foot. I think I was doing that to press with my back foot more on the heel. Regarding the arm yes I get your point. I was just reviewing the video on the intermediate line and it says exactly this. I’ll try next time!
