Exciting Changes Ahead! 🌊We’ve restructured our footage review process to make it more beneficial for everyone. While live sessions will be on pause as we adapt to new dynamics with our two candidates, we’re thrilled to announce a fresh approach: your submissions will now be reviewed and shared here in the community!Here’s why we’re embracing this new method:✔️More Engagement: Posting reviews here encourages interaction and brings our quieter members into the conversation. Lives were limiting, as only those free at the time could participate.✔️Flexibility for Clay: With a packed schedule of retreats next year, this setup allows Clay to review submissions remotely during his downtime—ensuring faster and more consistent feedback.✔️Easier Access: Every review and takeaway will be visible to everyone, making it simpler to learn and improve without sifting through past live sessions.✔️Focused Feedback: This organized system will help you concentrate on specific areas to improve.🔔 A few reminders: • Submit one video at a time to give everyone a fair chance for feedback. • Avoid submitting distant or surf-cam footage—Clay needs clear visuals to provide effective, actionable advice.We can’t thank you enough for your support, patience, and understanding as we work through these changes together. Your willingness to adapt and grow with us means the world, and we’re so appreciative of this amazing community. 🙏P.S. I’ve added a Google sheet in the comments for tracking your submissions. If you’d like your older footage skipped, simply select “Y” in column F. This will indicate you’re uploading newer training footage. If you select “N,” Clay will proceed with reviewing your current submission. Let us know if you have any questions!

Hi I am new here, I need help to submit a video. When I try to attach media, I can only upload images or select videos that are not mine.

Good day all, I’ve been practicing the Oreo biscuit method and pushing my legs down to better harness the power of the wave before pop up, it’s working well. While I know I have a lot to work on, and I have some really bad habits built from poor surfing over 30 yrs, I would appreciate some feedback on my walk up (pop up) and ways to get my front leg through more easily. I am working to keep my head up and look down the line but with a herniated disc in my neck and lower back it’s going to take a bit of time. Thoughts? Thanks

Dear Community - I always get hung up in the lip and then drop in late...how can I re-program 30 years of surfing to stop stress paddling, get front on, and stop bending at the waist?

Small day and a lot of board to bring back into the foam ball on the re-entry.

A wobbly take-off has plagued me since I started surfing last year. I just got back from Urbn surf and finally got some footage which is in the link below. I would be eternally grateful for any advice on how to fix this. The board is 6'10" x 20 5/8" x 2 3/4" : 43L.

Hi all, I'm trying to post a video here for comments, but when I select 'Media' and then 'Attach video' I get the attached options only, none of which are mine. I don't have an option to browse and select a file from my PC. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Last one from the wave pool.

Had a lot of fun there. Would definitely recommend for anyone thinking of going.

I did mostly intermediate sessions to work on a carving top turn/cutback, but I'll probably give some other settings a try whenever I get back there.

Going to shift my focus from the top turn to the bottom turn. I think I end up extending at the bottom of the wave and then suck my knees up rather than staying compressed and on rail through the bottom turn. I think this throws off my timing at the top of the wave.
