I've been surfing since 1965 and I have listened to this and have to say "it's good advice." Having learnt on a 1960's "dunger" that experience actually ingrains many of these tips. Learning on a modern thruster then applying these tips will be harder. Good luck everyone and surf into your 70's thats my aim.

So much water wisdom here. Thanks to Anthony for his lovely honesty, humility and stoke and Clayton for his infuriating Zen master teaching. That's teamwork.

Been great watching your progression Ant you're the Yin to Clays Yang, the every day surfer that struggles and it's always great to see you have fun in-between getting screamed at by Clay

I think consciously looking down the wave to where you want to be / should be - rather than directly in front or at your board - is the best last note to remember ...after the step through pop up (you guys expertly simplify). Seeing where you want to go gets you shifting to the emerging scape. ( Which I think is what your going on about with the coffee cup 'concept'.) I have been a crap surfer since I was a little kid BUT that tip has got me a lot more waves this summer!

I can totally feel you. I surf for 32 years now and I suck. I am a landlocked surfer, that used to travel the world and spending years wasting time, not really knowing what to do. Now I will be surfing again next week after a couple of year out of the water and I am super curious about applying the tips of Clay and seeing how they work. I can only be better than before:)

Small detail from your footage I’ve noticed: on the bottom turn you lack a bit of compression and more rail engagement. Try thinking about getting your elbow from your back arm at the level of your front foot (it will probably force you to lean forward and press more on that front foot). Your surfing is amazing and its all about having fun anyways, so big shaka to you brother! Greetings from Spain

05:48 I was just gonna write in the comments 'bodysurf!' I've switched from surfing after 26 years to bodyboarding and only occasionally surf nowadays both feel vastly different. A very good video lots of great tips. Body surfing and bodyboarding obviously you can feel the power of the wave on your legs and body as opposed to being stood on a board above it.

I've been surfing almost 20 years at age 36...started a little late but skated and snowboarded as a kid. I am also not quite satisfied with my level of skill even after all these years. I can surf well, but I could be surfing much more challenging waves if I could break into the advanced category: generating lots of speed right from the takeoff, doing more committed full rail carves more often, getting barreled of the takeoff and not just down the line, etc. I'm hoping a surfskate will help a little bit and maybe a little more belief that I can take off deeper and steeper. I want to be able to utilize a wave to its fullest before I get too old...

You just got to remember he is talking about backside speed generation. A lot of points speak to other surfing fundamentals, he is not discussing back vs front foot surfing, think about a backside bottom turn...if you are already sitting on your back foot your are going to brake(slow) the board during the turn, too heavy on the front and you bog the rail. There is always going to be that balance in a good turn. What he is teaching you here is a better posture to get over the front foot on the backside, have the speed to even make a good turn and, have the ability to transfer your weight!

Ant, I've been watching your progression over the last few years. Just don't give up now, because you're right there mate. In my opinion you just need to draw out your turns about 20 percent. Remember when Joel Parkinson cut his foot during one of his world title runs. I was surprised he started surfing again on a 6 10" before downsizing. I recon you should hit up Simon Anderson for a bigger blokes board in the 610 plus range to draw out your turns,, plus you will be forced to find classic lines to stay on those small waves. Then go back to your micro chips. Ok, idiot comment over and out. Have fun!

I mean, solid surfing, but style could be better. Load up on those turns a bit more. would like to see Ant attack the lip. Seems like you need a bit more flexibility to get lower center of gravity without poo stance.

Trimming is an art, learn to trim first. You are picking lines from bottom to top, that's for big waves. Learn to do a simple 360 spin and then sit in reverse, the rest will come thereafter.

For someone who's preaching about being relaxed out in the water, you seem really amped up and fidgety throughout the vid. Bro, relax & maybe lay off the coffee a bit. 😑
