soooo much of everything in surfing is about setting ourselves up for the desired outcome isn't that true ... patience, practice, positioning :) great videos! thx!
So true. I like to think of it in terms of an attitude of abundance. Waves are not limited resources. They'll never stop even though there are flat spells and lulls.
@conatussurf at 3:08 you describe how sinking the tail in the back of the wave helps prevent a wipeout. Can you elaborate on this more? I ride a higher volume egg shape, which is great for getting in early when possible, but on steeper/later takeoffs the tail gets lifted so high that it makes popping up or riding out of it super hard. Would love to hear your thoughts.
It sounds to me like you don't have enough positive connection with your tail when paddling. Would have to see video and/or do a consult to be sure. I'd check out my millisecond push up video to see about sinking the tail right before take off. Lmk if that's helpful. Otherwise I'm going to do more videos about tail control in the coming year. Thanks for your comment!
funny you ask! I have a whole series of videos I'm going to release this summer about this board and other fishes I own. It's a 5'3" Jose Barahona classic fish.
micheal peterson morning of the earth vibes, that cutback made me fall in love with surfing!

What board are you riding here? Looks like a nice twinny.
