Class summary

#1 Understand your board - advanced surfers don't move much allowing them to use very responsive boards (performance shorty)
#2 Less is more - don't do unnecessary movements, let the wave dictate how to move
#3 Surf in the pocket - don't race to the shoulder, you'll have more power in the pocket
#4 Slow bottom turn - 1 2 3 and top turn (gives you time to set up)
#5 Look where you want to go - especially in the cutback, it will allow you to see how much time you have to complete the turn
#6 Twist to turn - ankles, knees, hips, shoulders (and head)
#7 Surf front on - you lose peripheral vision when you surf sideways and makes your surfing look awkward
#8 Take off at the peak - position yourself at the peak so you can glide in and set up instead of using a lot of energy paddling on the shoulder
#9 Speed generation - compress and extend instead of wiggling
#10 Foot Placement - stack your weight on your front foot to allow your back foot to move and adjust for speed or turning on your heel or toes
#11 Copy and Paste - simulate your favorite surfers style and have fun with it
#12 Stop standing on your board - start turning; by using your rails instead of the flat part of your board you generate speed
#13 Focus - be in the moment and feel the wave, slow it down and focus on one thing at a time getting 1% better
#14 Be your own coach - look at your own footage and analyze how your board is movement, how you are moving, and where your head's at
#15 Have Fun - and share it! Experience with boards, fin set-ups, body surf, etc

Thanks Ombe, on my journey to becoming a better surfer and your videos are very helpful :)

tip 16... timing on your takeoff is everything, try to speed it up, slow it down, mess around with it, it's not just hit or miss, sometimes it's go straighter and slower, so that you have speed on the next section
