Love Love Love !

That is one of the very best video's I've ever seen on here.

And after packing a 'surf' SUP for tmrw, I'm now about to unpack and get my 14' ready for a runner session in the morning - that vid got me pumped.

Great tune too - thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks for posting!

Love when the cameras on the front or back of the board, gives us newbies a good look at what happens with your feet

Now how can I get that 14' board again.........."sigh"

ahh, the memories. reminds me of my old 15'3, although those new ones are a touch faster and a heap more stable.

nice surfing- have you noticed no one argues with you.

one of the best feelings in the world is surfing down the line on a really big board

My ESP tells me you have surfed a long board more than once and my eyes tell me that you are quite good at it.You need more deck grip for your X steps that is the only advice I feel qualified to give as I'm only learning SUP too.What I do with my boards is,I lie them down on soft ground and stand next to them and try to pretend I'm surfing,so you simulate your surfing next to your board and use a marker to put dots on your board where you recon your feet should be at certain times then go surfing and see what your doing compared with what you think you should be doing.One thing I have noticed with SUPs is that because of the size/volume correct weight distribution is crucial and sometimes you have to adjust mid manouver.So practice and an open mind and every session will be the best ever.Sorry if I'm ranting on a bit beer No5 Ha Ha...

great advice gumballs.

i might try that marker idea, sounds like the best way to analyse your position without having the exspense of a coach.

IMO you dont have to be a world champion athlete to be a world champion coach.

ill listen to advice from anyone and pull out of it what i think is relevant. honestly i feel like a learner surfer on a mal or shortboard. its only because of great advice from fellow suppers that i feel ive progressed quicker on a sup.

Ryan honestly you don't need advice just do your time on the board and let your natural ability do it's stuff.
