HOW TO CATCH MORE WAVES IN CROWDED SURF (without annoying anybody)
Crowded surf spots are becoming more and more common in this 'stay at home' work environment; surfers are less bound by the clock and less bound by location.
In this video I chat through, using some clear examples, strategies you can apply to increase your wave count (without annoying anybody!) amongst a crowded line up.
These intermediate surfing mistakes will are having a big impact on how you surf and how fast you're progressing.
These 7 mistakes form a large chunk of what I talk about with my surf coaching clients and I can certainly explore them more in-depth in individual videos - let me know down below which one you'd like me to look at more!
Surfing progression tends to happen in stages. You improve your surfing in bursts followed by plateaus which is typical of an extreme sport without a repetitive playing environment.
In this video we track one of my coaching clients 3 month's progress from advanced beginner to intermediate. I'm super pumped with her progress!
How to surf; the top 7 beginner surfing mistakes that I see are most easily fixed with a few technique adjustments. These small adjustments will lead to you catching more waves, progressing faster &, most importantly, having more fun in the surf!
