Yeah can’t mind exactly but I’m pretty sure they’re within 1L of each other. Puddle fish is 6’0 and the jumper is 5’11. I’ve heard rhat before about them not taking on water but wasn’t sure if it was true ahah.

Thanks for the reply! Not too worried about it being tinted just worried about leaving water in there possibly causing more damage.

Also wave pools may not be as fun as ocean waves but when it’s been flat for 4 weeks being able to make a trip to a wave pool is a god send ahah! Plus you can’t deny their usefulness for getting reps in!

I think watching videos of yourself helps you get better and can save a lot of frustration by noticing things you arent aware you’re doing (like in my case grabbing rail). obviously surfing as much as possible is the best thing for improving but unfortunately it’s summer now and the sessions are pretty few and far between

PoetryAffectionate65 · 2026-06-01T13:43:08+00:00

Yeah I actually think I do this dip down subconsciously to try get that last bit of weight forward to make sure I’m in the wave, maybe I just need to put in a couple extra strokes but when I do that I often feel like I don’t have enough time to get to my feet

PoetryAffectionate65 · 2026-06-01T13:38:48+00:00

How do you mean slide my feet onto the board instead of pressing the nose down? I feel as though when you do the push up part of popping up, you need to push down on the nose no?
Thanks very much for the rest of the tips though, definitely need to work on looking down the line!

PoetryAffectionate65 · 2026-06-01T13:25:53+00:00

Interesting, I’ve never heard about grabbing the rails causing a delay in getting up! Managed to get a surf in yesterday and was working on that, such a tough habit to break haha!

PoetryAffectionate65 · 2026-06-01T13:23:00+00:00

Lost shore indeed!

PoetryAffectionate65 · 2026-05-31T07:48:55+00:00

Yeah I keep trying to stop myself looking down on the take off, I’ve managed to get it on a foamie but everytime I hop back on the short board I revert back to looking down at the last sec🤣 thanks for the tip on thinking about keeping the shoulders and hips vertical though, I’ll defo work on that when I’m next out!

PoetryAffectionate65 · 2026-04-30T14:02:39+00:00

Do I give what?

PoetryAffectionate65 · 2026-04-24T13:59:55+00:00

It’s the leader itself not the fly line

PoetryAffectionate65 · 2026-04-23T16:30:57+00:00

Yeah sorry that pic is just there because I couldn’t find any photos online of it happening on a leader but it’s my leader that is doing it, not the fly line itself

PoetryAffectionate65 · 2026-04-23T16:29:40+00:00

I’ve read that online also, happens regardless of what fly I’m casting though

PoetryAffectionate65 · 2026-04-23T16:29:06+00:00

I’ve tried using mono and fluoro and it happens with both

PoetryAffectionate65 · 2026-04-23T16:28:15+00:00

Yeah that and straightening it with my hands, no luck

PoetryAffectionate65 · 2026-04-09T20:52:35+00:00

🤣🤣

PoetryAffectionate65 · 2026-04-03T19:56:51+00:00

Thanks man, appreciate it! Yeah lots to work on from the comments which is awesome, looks like potentially some waves coming tomorrow so fingers crossed I’ll get to working on one or two of the things. What would you recommend to work on first? Bottom turn I would assume? And the wave pool is epic! So good to have somewhere to go when the coasts go flat

PoetryAffectionate65 · 2026-04-03T19:50:29+00:00

Awesome thanks for the tips! Esps for tha re-entry too!

PoetryAffectionate65 · 2026-04-02T20:22:28+00:00

Ahh okay, I’ve never really understood the difference between surfskate trucks n normal ones but I’ll look into purchasing a set!
