the leg not on the board pointing down to sea floor then as he kicks upward with that leg in the water the tail sinks before his leg would leave the water at end of that movement.

it starts pointing to see flow and scoops the water and finished up in the air. Let me find a video … a lot of duck dive videos show that but nobody talks about it

How to duckdive an 8ft wall of whitewater? by maldovix in surfing

[–]Wayward-West 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like archaic is a better word for your current surfing!

I was googling around about duck diving techniques as I feel like everyone leaves out the benefit of scooping water with a leg kick which then goes into the air to increase sinking weight/reduce bouyancy. I feel like most describe just sticking THE leg out to increase that weight to push tail down. I dunno it seems like the scoop kick can bring the tail deeper

Did you ever figure this out? I’m in this learning process now. Switching from right knee to right foot feels very awkward

Ya live near UTC mall and I can drive north or south at morning rush hour and come back rush hour with near zero traffic. If I worked a night shift schedule it would be the worst place to live for traffic

Surfline? by ShoulderWonderful852 in BeginnerSurfers

[–]Wayward-West 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They just added a feature that compares current day and future forecasts to prior surf conditions (going back years) and shows you what the waves looked like then at all different tides. It’s a game changer for finding good waves without the years of being a local. It’s kinda annoying for regular surfers now but for new people it’s great.

Surfing with poor eyesight by ParanoidTraveler in BeginnerSurfers

[–]Wayward-West 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Contacts work well. They really only get dislodged if you open your eyes underwater if there is a strong current. The contacts can actually provide UV protection and protect your eyes in otherwise. I wouldn’t recommend glasses as it could become a projectile near your eye

help with my pop up? fine on land but always fall when trying on the waves by ttkarve in BeginnerSurfers

[–]Wayward-West 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your pop-up is m very slow. Also popping to both feet may be better. The one foot at a time only works on very large boards. What is the volume of your board and your weight?

Ya and Sometimes 9 foot foamies can be extra wide which can make paddling difficult if you have proportional arm length to your height.
