Whats up swell forum??... a pleasure to be here i would like some advice from you good folks..I was out of the water for 6-12 months with a medical thing going on and Im just now getting back in the water on a consistent basis, only this time i feel real kooky as I am falling out of the back on 75% of my waves on take off....any tips for correcting this issue is appreciated..thanks
6-12 months?...I'll bite. You've been out of the water that long, your timing going to be off as well as your general paddling strength. Get a bigger board for when you do surf for a few months. Also, I'd begin training a bit--I would suggest join a gym with a pool for a few month and swim a couple times a week--get your stroke back and endurance. Technique should come back as you build up your strength...and surf a bit more.
thanks dude thats what I have been working on so far feels great to be back out in the water just frustrating to have regressed so much
Commitment bro remember you gotta lean into it. Btw, don't you think you should have done a 'Hello' thread first??
Had same thing happen, has taken 16 months but surfing well for me again. Keep the faith, be humble and enjoy the small victories... Time takes time...
I've been surfing since this summer, have the same issue, I just take a knee when I know I won't be able to pop up correctly. Worst comes to worse it's at least a ride to the beach so you get to learn your board a bit. Cheers
