Surfing is fun. This forum is about Surfing. So it should be Fun too. I contribute (freely) on this forum to share my love for Surfing. If someone doesn't want / care for my advise that's okay with me. Sometimes it feels like talking to a brick wall for some people, but that's who they are, which is the way they learn.

Actually to the contrary, the way I teach is the indirect method, sort of like Mr. Miyagi in Karate kid. You might notice I answer questions with questions of my own. Some posters say I sound Cynical or Rude, but again it's a method for them to learn the answer for themselves. My whole responses to your posting is actually helping you to find your true self indirectly. I could have said " there is no way you did a 2cm air" which would be direct. But I asked if "it was from the bottom of the board or from the fins?", hoping you would realize that 2cm. is non-measurement/statement.

My greatest reward as a teacher is when my students get those "Aha!" moments. When they say "Wow, now I get it". That huge smile on their face makes it all worth it. As a surf instructor, my students pay me to teach them. Here on this global forum, I contribute freely. I don't need any "Thanks", although it's nice to hear. What I really don't expect is to be called "dickhead".
Dreamsurf, if you are hurt in anyways I apologize. I understand you and your stoke for surfing. Please try to understand we were once in the exact position/level you're currently at. We know from hindsight and experiences you have yet to go thru. The more you are honest with yourself and us, the better we can help each other.
