Thanks mate, yeah it’s a bit of a challenge getting out there sometimes, but even if you don’t get many waves it’s still great to be out in the water amongst the elements.😊
Keep at it. Everything is a bonus after a new hip. Push ups at home. Then practice ’pop ups’. Then hit the ocean on clean small days with a wider flatter board. If you live in Melbourne put your stand up in nearest beach or river often too. Most of all enjoy the journey 🤙🏼
Thanks Jason, yeah definitely need to get my fitness back that’s for sure. Unfortunately not having a good run with my health, I’m going to have an operation on my left ear for the common problem surfers have (Surfers Ear). Hopefully that won’t put me out of action for too long. 😊
Depending on what type of wave setting you’re on. I was on the progress turns wave setting which is not that steep of a takeoff, but most of the take offs are reasonably steep when you start surfing the more performance wave settings.😊
Thanks guys for the interesting video!
Good on you big fella, we all face challenges to stay in the water as we get older. 👍

Waves start very steep

Keep trying fella lots of swimming & jogging one step at a time try a long board too make it easier .
Thanks mate, thought about getting a bigger board, certainly need to get fitter that’s for sure. I’m definitely not going to give up, I love surfing.😊
