The fall at 3:30 is classic.. haha. Nice.

Was that out at Hermosa again? Looks like your cousin is struggling with needing to get his feet planted right. Front foot forward, back in back. Saw a fall a two of his when he ended up feet even on the board. He should work on making sure he gets one up middle and one on back.

As for you.. it looks good to me.. you just need good waves. haha. Its like the waves you are getting just crash out right when you arre gettin up anyways. I think if you actually had a direction to take off on.. you might get it. Only other thing I noticed is that it seems like your nose pops out quite high from the surface.. you may be putting too much weight on the back. It's like you may be stalling yourself out of the wave.

thanks!

it was actually redondo.. knob hill i guess
ill keep your advice in mind

That's like watching myself, only I don't have to wear a wetsuit.

Very cool, man. Thanks for posting. Nice to know it's not just me that nosedives of the front of my board from time to time.

Okay you got the goods but those waves are holding you back. Closeouts in small surf with a shortboard not gonna get much going.

With better waves i think you will make a lot more headway so pray to the surf gods for a swell

Still its all good practise

lol!! your cousin was funny to watch! your surfing is pretty good, you just need much better waves, trying to cutback in white water is suicide lol, i did that once the board went forward and i was launched a mile the other way lol! looks good bro!

As you seem to be having trouble popping up... the boards seem WAY too small. Just my tew centavos.

yea those look like Pensacola waves, straight up then down all at once!! Luckily I got gustav comen my way!!

everyone has been saying that i need good waves.. cept.. i have no idea where they are... i think they are hiding from me.. lol

haha.. yeah, hate to say it.. south bay (hermosa/redondo) doesnt have the best lines... we get them now and again, but for the most part, it's a lot of walls and short rides. It helps on learning fast pop-ups though. hah.

I've had decent rides at Manhattan pier on my sponge, and up al El Porto..

But Hermosa/Redondo, I haven't had the GREATEST of luck either...

Ya im lloking real real forward to the next time i get a chance to surf some huge winter swells. Strange though im kinda glad when the swell dies down a bit gives me a chance recoup and work on other things that i would be too afraid to try on 15ft thumpers

you should move to my area.. swell is always dead.. LOL

really you shouldn't even practice with a shortboard on those day.

get those ugly stick(9' longboard) and start practicing for real.

you need at least waist high to get something moving.

Hahaha nice dude ... I didn't get any of the Audioslave goodness at my work computer

Love the slow mo action. That was full on Scorsese meets Bruce Brown.

well.. its what i have , its like a swiss army knife.. you only need one XD so ill stick with my 6'7'' multi purpose board.. lol... unless you wanna give me one for free

ha then you'll need some swell going on. ask the surf god for some wave

Yep , bigger waves. Go up the beach with me.. to el portel , its never really crowed unless weekdays and the waves are always 3+ on shitty days, the drive is worth it trust me. Sometimes i feel like i feel like im never going to catch air when i wipe out.
