@surf_tips_for_beginners: Catching more waves comes down to three things. Fitness definitely helps (that’s what Leo’s land drills are for), but get these right as well: 1. Where you lie. Too far back, you push water. Too far forward, you nose-dive. Keep the nose just off the water. 2. Paddle early. And when the wave lifts you, take two more strokes. 3. Where you look. This is the one I see most. Never look at the bottom. Look up and across the wave, and angle across it at about 45°. I was one of the coaches who filmed the 360° footage for Griffith University’s eye-tracking study with Surfing Australia. Beginners mostly looked at the trough, the bottom of the wave. Experts spent more time on the pocket, the shoulder and the lip. Dazza’s animated with AI. The coaching isn’t.
