Yew thanks for this video mate. Looks fun. Here’s a couple things I think would help you improve faster. What i noticed in the video is that sometimes you are slow to your feet and miss the chance to get to the top part of the face where you can gain speed. So repeatedly you kept getting stuck in the lower flat part of the wave and taken by the foam ball. In general you want to stay in the top 1/3 of the wave face as much as possible. A larger board will help you get to your feet faster and give you more time to get to this part of the wave. A larger board will also naturally float better, and plane faster, meaning you wont have to work as hard to pump, but will still be able to learn the movement. You need a board that is wider and longer. Look at designs such as Chilli Midstrength or middy.
yeah i just really dont enjoy longer boards. i've found im improving fast enough on my shortboard... URBNSURF was just very different to ocean surfing.
@@LeeSurfs fair enough mate, you should think about it… dont have to go too long. Weight in kg divided by 2 gives a good litre range. It’s more wide and low rocker boards that are gonna help. Surfers shouldnt even be touching a performance shortboard outline until theyre well and truly adept in speed generation and top to bottom surfing, usually this is multiple years down the line of everyday surfing. Until then it WILL limit your progress… If you can’t rip on a bigger board you definitely cant do it on a full performance board… everything is easier and more forgiving on a good midlength shape that is sized appropriately. Check out the chilli Middy.
The single biggest mistake I think you are doing is this - trying to do micro turns without first learning to pump across the wave and develop speed. Learn to first get up - and then build speed across the wave - even if it is just a semi straight line - and THEN, once you have that down, only then do ONE small turn. It looks like you are wiggling at slow speed otherwise… Learn how to build speed first young fella…..
@@mattress9074 At URBNSURF yeah i was finding it hard to pump because of how different it was to the ocean. it was my first time and i was still getting used to it.

grom + is also really good for it
@@tombatchy grom+ not wide enough imo…
@@tombatchy probs not enough float in the grom+

What gopro do you use?
Hero 11
Gotta work on looking up as soon as you pop up. where you look is hwere you go. your feet will fix them selves
and your too low on the wave

Yeah i am quite good at pumping but i definitely need more speed for turns... will work on it, the advice is appreciated!
@@LeeSurfsIma be honest what your doing isn’t really pumping for speed just wiggling
