ToneDr., I just wanted to say thank you for your videos. Your way of teaching is excellent and I really appreciate the approach. If you arent teaching guitar already, your professionalism really differentiates you. Thanks again for your willingness to share your talents and your hard work. All the best.

i got a semi-long board. catching foamies is fine, but the nose dips during the wave rise before i get to stand up. what should i do? turn, stand up sooner, lean back to get the tip and whole board off the water? big curls are the worst. I don't worry about getting dumped - chicks are worse :-p

@CannedKoolaid try to lean back and adjust your postion farther back on your board whille paddling and taking off on waves, that should help. If that doesn't work, I reccomend getting a bigger board

@surfhawaii08 No, sir, let me tell you something. The only reason you are so freaked out about seven foot waves is that you can't even surf your 3 foot waves. You don't even know me dude change your wannabe username man I know what a seven foot wave is I live in Puerto RIco

In your video, you did not do what you explained. You basically allowed the wave to catch you after you made a couple of strokes then jumped to your feet as the wave was breaking. You did not catch it with fast strokes or get into the wave before it broke.

@plotthound1 There's 2 ways I determine to turn left or right. 1. Before I catch a wave, I look behind me and if the wave is breaking first to one side I turn the other side. 2. Once I pop up I look left and right and if its an open wave and not crashing I turn that way.
