For additional fun I suggest throwing away all your leashes too.
I still skip across the sand to the water, when the surf is up. Do you even skip, bro? I'm guessing not.
there is kid here in nias who rips and so smooth as a goofy footer
my kid never listens to me so hired him to help her - she listened and already way smoother
It just seemed odd to me.
It gave a weird vibe.
It's was like, "Hey, we're trying to work here."
Where I was in the same sphere as they were trying to have fun.
They were acting like, as a result, they had priority.
It's was an odd juxtaposition.
I think it's really good to film yourself.
I see myself and go, OHMYGOD!
On. side note: I was having trouble foil boarding and I put my front foot further up and it changed everything.
A coach could have told me that
Where is my foil coach!
You're not experiencing the full fun of falling off unless you're falling off without a leash all the time.
When you start to fall off all the time and you're never wearing a leash is where the fun really starts.
A guy like you who really enjoys falling off will want to take it to the next level.
(Oops, I'm coaching you. Sry.)
"There's no stopping him."
About a year later the kid vanished. Decade or so later I ran into the father and he remembered me. I asked him where his kid was, remarked that I never saw him the water anymore. "Oh, he quit surfing. Decided he wanted to play soccer."
Where the refs will throw a parent off the field for yelling with a bullhorn.
I had a very famous pro give me a solid tip a long time ago. Surfing on your frontside, for cutbacks and in some cases top turns, if you drop your lead arm and use your hand/arm as a pivot point your weight naturally shifts to your front foot which enables you to tighten the arc with board slide. If you want to carve all the way through say a 180 degree plus cutback, raise your lead arm as you engage the rail.
That will be $99.99
Cash.
Clearly you and I surf for different reasons.
J. G.?
His dad was a fucking asshole. Sometimes he’d come out on a boogie board and yell at his kid. He’d tell J to drop in on people (I never saw him actually burn anyone) and dad would yell at other people for getting waves that he wanted J to go on.
Pops got his ass beat a few times.
No, you're simply being contrarion to be contrarion.
The evidence you've posted here undeniably suggests you're just the same as most other surfers
You've even posted about seeking opportunities to challenge your surfing.
Therefore, you want to get better. Whether you admit it or not.
