Here's What You'll Get
Real feedback from a real wave.
You set up well for this wave, achieved a clean, controlled takeoff, and maintained trim down the line with reasonable stability. The ride is conservative but shows solid fundamentals and good use of the wave pool’s predictable pocket. The main opportunities are to lower your stance, shift more weight to your back (left) foot, and use stronger rail engagement to generate speed and set up maneuvers. Overall this is a stable, lower-intermediate level ride with clear building blocks for more dynamic surfing.
What You Did Well
You positioned yourself well relative to the peak and matched the wave’s speed so that the board is already gliding in as the face steepens. Frames 1–3
Your pop-up is compact and efficient, with your chest staying low over the board and your feet landing near the stringer, giving you immediate control. Frames 3–4
You keep your upper body relatively quiet and your eyes looking down the line, which helps maintain balance and a consistent trim line through the mid-section of the wave. Frames 5–8
Key Issues
Your stance remains too tall and slightly front-foot heavy after the initial drop, which limits rail engagement and speed generation; your hips stay almost directly above the midpoint of the board instead of shifting more over the back (left) foot. Frames 5–8
You are riding mid-face without clear high–low transitions, so you are not fully using the pocket; the board tracks on a relatively flat line rather than climbing toward the top third of the wave and then dropping for speed. Frames 6–9
Your arms and shoulders are not actively leading direction changes; the front arm drifts across your body and the shoulders stay nearly square to the wall, which makes it harder to initiate a strong bottom turn or cutback. Frames 6–8
Next Session Focus
Adopt a lower, more compressed stance once you complete the drop: aim to bend both knees to roughly 90–110°, push your hips 10–15 cm back over your left (back) foot, and keep your chest over your front knee to stay balanced while loading the tail.
Practice simple high–low lines on these waves: from the bottom third of the face, drive up toward the top third by extending your legs, then compress and aim down the line as you come back down, repeating this pump at least twice per wave.
Use your arms and shoulders to lead direction: point your front arm down the line and slightly toward the pocket, rotate your shoulders about 20–30° in the direction you want to go, and feel the board follow that rotation through the rail.

"Went from closing out every wave to making my first proper cutback in two sessions."
"Like having a coach watch every session - except it costs less than a coffee."
