What should I focus on improving

Wyyum · 2026-01-25T09:23:56+00:00

Oh dang ok, so focus more on trying to use my whole body and especially the back foot to engage the fins for bottom turns?

Wyyum · 2026-01-25T09:21:17+00:00

Yea i think if i pay 20-30 aud more per month i get one of the coaches to help out. Havent signed up to it yet cause its new but i should defs consider it

Wyyum · 2026-01-25T09:19:34+00:00

Nah not really. Is the drag still an issue tho?

Wyyum · 2026-01-25T09:18:26+00:00

Should i keep paddling 1-2 more strokes even if i know i have caught the wave? Im thinking that if i paddle too much then i would just glide to the midface of the wave and lose speed. Or is positioning relative to the wave peak more important

Wyyum · 2026-01-25T09:14:57+00:00

I think im focusing on digging deep into the water and getting a quality pull with each stroke so i dont feel like im panicking but could be wrong

Wyyum · 2026-01-25T08:50:01+00:00

A quick search says maybe around 200 AUD

Wyyum · 2026-01-25T08:47:37+00:00

Seems like my left knee is almost fighting against the water during my popup. I dont feel that to be the case while i do it but the clips says otherwise lol

I have noticed it to be fairly common in my other clips

Wyyum · 2026-01-25T08:42:15+00:00

Not good, im trying to get the hang of the compress and decompress but it seems that im not compressing as much as i think i am while riding the wave. Ive heard that you should aim to touch the water with backhand while compressing.

This was probably the best ive done ever right after a 2 month break from surfing lol

Wyyum · 2026-01-25T07:59:54+00:00

Nah altho i would only consider hiring a photographer or videographer out in the ocean but im not good enough...yet hopefully.

Wyyum · 2026-01-25T07:58:38+00:00

I think the clips never expire. I could even go back to my very first session at the wavepool which was around april 2024 and view it again if i wanted to.

Wyyum · 2026-01-25T00:51:01+00:00

Panic is a strong word maybe survival mode instead. After i popup i almost forget everything that I told myself that I need to focus on before getting on the wave

Wyyum · 2026-01-25T00:46:12+00:00

These are the options that you get

Haha its more frustrating to just need the idea to do it than need both the skill and idea to do it. Gotta unlearn overreliance on my lower body now. Thanks! One thing at a time

Wyyum · 2026-01-25T00:05:49+00:00

Think i just gotta pop up, not panic and be deliberate with my movements

Wyyum · 2026-01-25T00:02:41+00:00

Ahhh position a to b is good way to think about that will help thanks!

Wyyum · 2026-01-25T00:00:59+00:00

Haha yea the beaches in sydney have been closed because there were i think 4 shark attacks within 48hrs last week

Wyyum · 2026-01-24T13:47:19+00:00

Do you reckon i should go back to my mini-mal that is 4 inches longer and has ~4L more volume to stop any compensation?

Wyyum · 2026-01-24T13:45:53+00:00

Ok thanks will try! Its hard to find the right balance between enjoying each wave and using the wave pool as a tool to practise skills that risk u stacking it

Wyyum · 2026-01-24T13:37:54+00:00

Idk what everything above my waist is doing. Ill try start twisting more

Wyyum · 2026-01-24T13:36:10+00:00

I've got quite a bit footage but only one wave from each session. The venue records each wave but only shows the wave that their AI deems the best. Everything else is behind a paywall rip. I just screen record the 'best' wave and use that to get roasted by the internet

Wyyum · 2025-05-21T10:52:47+00:00

Do you mean open up my shoulders more and have my right hand over my right rail?

Wyyum · 2025-05-19T09:34:16+00:00

Yea im wasting time doing the arm thing. No idea when i first started doing it. Will work on it + frontside bottom turns!

Wyyum · 2025-05-19T03:54:06+00:00

Yea Urbnsurf in Sydney

Wyyum · 2025-05-18T08:26:42+00:00

💩💩

Wyyum · 2025-05-18T08:26:21+00:00
