Clayton, you have such an incredible talent for breaking things down and explaining them. I learned more from you in this one episode than in all my years surfing.

Wow. At 28:42, The very beginning of the Rob Machado footage. I noticed how relaxed and low down the wave he went before popping up. He almost glided to the bottom then stood up. I think most people would have tried to stand up wayyyy earlier. Obviously with a steeper wave he might not have been able to delay as long, but it still emphasizes how smooth and relaxed his mindset is even catching the wave. No rush to pop up and start moving down the line.

Golden nugget for me was rob machado was almost sitting on his board he was so compressed. I’m like the lady who thinks she’s bending her knees but isnt. I have some bosu squating to do for sure!

Re the guy who had his best surf the first day back in the water after a break but then things went downhill.... My best surfs are sometimes the first day on a bed board. I think what's happening is that I'm trying a bit harder on the new board. As time goes on I start getting lazier and make mistakes popping up too late, paddling half assed into waves, etc etc.

What is the cardboard slide?

[@Hotelmode]

Boys social media part of the topic was so real. I had my fiancee cried her eyes out at insta before going to sleep because the brides she followed looked like models. Ive had 3 lessons surfing and told my ego to 'do one' and immerse myself in the sport of surfing. Go surfing like its day 1.

Late takeoff is a legitimate maneuver. If you think of it like that you will make way more. I love air drops but you can get hammered if you don't pump after you hit the water.

Thanks for sharing.

learned a lot from 36:18

[@Hotwire_RCTrix]

A big factor you missed is post wipeout syndrome which can destroy confidence and focus.
