Your Surf videos

[isaluteyou]

dont worry about having a hard time out there so would i have those waves sucked big style not much you can do in wind blown mush that has almost no size

[surferdude_scarborough]

yeah the best advice i can give based on that clip is to go find some waves.

[Milo]

You are doing fine Tremor, stick with it. When the wave picks you up give a couple more strokes it might help and try moving forward on your board an inch or so. Just a thought . Keep the vids coming, it`s great to see how you progress .

thank you
ill try that out.. everyone's advice is extremely helpful and i try to keep it on my mind when im out there.

[Sillysausage]

yea waves look difficult to surf on any board. small closeouts. maybe try sitting a little further out and paddling in a little earlier. keep up the good work

[Rico]

yeah mate theres no chance, even if you catch one of them, the ride would be just over.

6'7'' is a cool size, but not for these conditions.

[garbarrage]

definitely improving... waves suck tho!

one thing i notice is that you look back a lot when the wave is approaching.. used to do it myself until someone pointed it out... stopped doing it and noticed an immediate improvement... was sort of slowing me down as i was losing power in those last few crucial strokes..

Tragic leash snapping scene! It brought tears to my eyes, I lost one in comparable circumstances...

i was so surprised. that leash was supposed to hold up to 10 feet!
it was like 2 feet at most?

Hey, you're doing fine

Its all there - and you can see that you've improved since your last video. All you need now is to keep on doing it, and tweak and fine-tune.

The board/waves combination is definitely the biggest problem here.

And you can see that you're paddling into backwash - you'll never get anywhere paddling against water flowing off the beach, and the waves that size will just collapse and die too (as you probably noticed...)

Time to try another break perhaps?

eh.. i think i just chose a particualry bad day to go there. I usually see much better waves at hermosa bad timing to bring a camera.. haha so my cousin and i took 20 min to record each other then we put the camera in his car and went back in the water

[pkbum]

find some waist to chest high places it'll be a better place to practice.

keep the stoke up

[BoarderDave]

Yeah, hopefully you get a better wave setup for the next round of video. hehe. No worries..

I'll have to see if I can make it out to wherever you are surfing some morning. Does your cousin surf too or bodyboard? Either way, we'll all have to meet up out there sometime soon.

[Real Pol]

You seemed to throw all your weight forward on the duck dive. Remember you're trying to sink the board which includes the tail. So you should have a foot/knee on the back doing this as well as pushing the nose under.
(numerous threads on duck diving).

Keep it up!!

haha yup! my cousin surfs .. he is worse than me though.. haha.. because i started before me but then he snapped his board so then he stopped and now he started again

[TReMoR]

a new vid from today.. right as my friend took that the batteries ran out.. haha and then he got pissed at me because i never took a video of him.. haha i cant believe it ran out after 1 clip though... shoulda replaced the batteries

[surferdude_scarborough]

looking better but it looks like your weight is a little too far back on take off. as you look at it you can see the nose jump up as you're popping up. it should stay relatively level as you get up.

[isaluteyou]

your too far back on takeoff and judging by the wave you should have gone right not left

[TReMoR]

yeaaaa i shoulda gone right but then i usually prefer left since im goofy

[uglystick]

you were never really on that wave, you needed a couple more stokes before you stood up.

keep up the hard work, persistance is what pays off.

btw its still a short board even though it is a 6'7. Look at the nose and tail, both are thin and narrower. Makes it harder to learn.
