well.. i havent been able to get a video person out ther with me in some time so no video updates :/
but then im having trouble.. it may be the conditions or something. not sure...


ok.. so when i go back up the face i keep falling off backwards making my board shoot over into the air while i fall into the water :/

ok the next thing.. i havent been able to see myself surfing so im not sure but.. i think i lost the ability to drop down on my rails... for some reason ive been making the bottom turn instead of starting off on the face on my rails :/ which i guess isnt a bad thing necessarily :/

also i keep dropping in crouched to the point where my back knee is touching the board .. i dont know if its the steepness of the recent waves or what :/ but in this really crouched position its much harder to turn and it takes me time to stand up fully

but i feel like im doing worse :o
any advice?

You're not getting worse :D. Just having a bad day. Everyone gets those days that they mess up on a pop up, bog on a turn, and take a trip over the falls, but it's just one of those days.

Don't think about that much, and you'll get over it.
