Kadil, keep at it mate. I've been surfing since April 2010. I had 5 lessons, and by the second I was getting to my feet OK, but falling. It was all to do with strength and fitness. My balance has always been good, but the fitness was what got me.

Now, after 20 months, I have few problems getting up and can move my 9'4" longboard around on the wave a bit, as well as kind of a step to the nose and back. Still a long way from as good as I'd like to be, but at 53, I'm a happy newbie.

It helps to get into the gym too, do some shoulder, and tricep work, as well as hamstrings, and central core stability. It's amazing the difference it will make to your overall fitness and your ability to surf better for longer.

Hey Kadil,
Great shots there taken by the better Half, thanks for posting and sharing them.
Can I ask what kind of gear she is using ?

Hey Locky, who shaped your orange shooter? It looks great.

Cheers


Daneli, it was shaped by Ross Head. He's a top old Bloke, he only shapes around 12 or so boards a year from his house up in the hills at kiels mountain. But he shaped for Hayden for about 25 years.
