I should have made much more of this wave. Instead I got up slow (kind of under the lip which put me off). Had to adjust my front front and then wait for the wave to pick me back up. I was really hopeful I'd done a backhand bottom turn - more of a midface wiggle when I watched this back 😂
What should I focus on to improve as a priority?
I'm trying to use surfskating to progress in surfing as I can get in the water 3 times maximum a week. I know there's loads of infinity loop tutorials online and I've watched a lot of them. What I don't know is why I'm losing so much speed on the backside turn. It feels really unnatural. Any help appreciated
I'm just back from Lost Shore where I was trying to work on bottom turns on a shorter board than normal (Torq, 7'6"). On my last session I got a surprise that flowstate's AI coaching had flagged some top turns.
I'm skeptical that what it flagged could be classed as a top turn. Usually I'm just trying to get back down the face and not really thinking about how that happens. The extra analysis it gave all made sense (look and point - sort out your leading arm etc).
I've just moved down from an 8'6" to a 7'6" and am trying to find the rail and get a bottom turn in. I think I might be kick turning here (I skateboard) rather than surfing on rail. Any advice appreciated.
Small but fun waves the other day. Just getting back to surfing after a string of injuries and years out but this little runner gave me hope. Looking forward to winter.
I've been trying to no comply for ages and today out of nowhere they've started to feel more joined up. Still, I think they should be smoother to 'count'
Just been to Lost Shore and was really happy to catch a few on the Turns setting. Any advice on how to improve, what to work on next or whether an Intermediate weekend at the wavepool would be a good idea (or maybe another Improver weekend)?
