A good trick I've always found Is that your back foot usually lands where your knees were resting when you were paddling, this helps me gauge where my feet will land depending on where I am positioned whilst paddling into a wave

@@lukeriches1764 Awesome advice Luke. Thank you very much for sharing this insight. I will definitely give it a go and see how it works.

This is the Surfskate I recommend for you. slidesurfskates.com/producto/surfdeck-chicala-32/

Cymatic is fun as a daily… if you love don’t unload it. I say sell something else then get the Phantom a keep the one you like better.

@@surfnshowreviews7777 good call. Much thanks 🙌🏼

You need to work on shifting your weight as you go into turns. I suggest getting a Carver and work on your rail game. Not sure I understand your second question…..

@@surfnshowreviews7777 Ok thanks for the tip. For my second question I meant this: when I do backhand bottom turns my front foot will dig into the face of the wave. It's almost like I'm leaning into it too much or maybe my foot placement is bad.

@@matthewmatuszak9034 Try to center your front foot more to the center of your board if your standing too close to your heal side rail.

@@surfnshowreviews7777 alright, thanks so much!

@@matthewmatuszak9034 Like Noel said you need to shift your weight as you surf. When you're dropping in you really want weight up front. When you're pumping you put weight on the front as you go down the face and unweight the front as you pump up the face. When you have speed and are ready to turn hard you can really put weight on the back of the board allowing you to do a tight turn but all that speed will keep you planing.

Drive the cutty a bit more off your back foot. It will stop sliding out on you.

I like the idea of your 1 board quiver being around 5’8”. Check out the Uber Driver or Sub Driver 2.0

Thanks Noel. As you mentioned in your review of Driver 2.0 it is especially suitable for waves of 2 to 6 feet. How do you think it will work in 1 foot waves? And as for the Uber driver it seems to work really well in small waves but at 5.8 feet it comes out over 28 liters which is too much for me.

@@alonshazar The Driver 2.0 is not ideal for 1-2’ waves. What about the Inferno 72? It’s a great 1 board quiver

Yes I thought of the Inferno 72 but I am looking for a second hand surfboard and the Inferno is a new model so there is not much of it in second hand stores. I also thought about the medina if I could find one. You think it will work in the 1 foot surf?

Sorry for the amount of questions. I really appreciate what you do

Here are some different Liter ranges for your weight at different skill levels to think about. Pro/Expert = 26-28L Advanced = 28-30L Intermediate = 31-33L Low End Intermediate = 34-36L The Untitled offers excellent performance surfing at the correct volume. You Untitled at 38.64L is a bit on the big side for your weight at the intermediate level… that’s why your struggling to turn it quickly or get it in the pocket for sharper turns. At this point the Inferno 72 will offer similar performance at roughly the same Volume. I suggest dropping your volume down to 34-36L on your next board purchase to help progress in your surfing. I like the Phantom, Untitled, or the I72. The Phantom is the easiest to surf out of these 3 boards. I also like the Hypto for your level too.

@@surfnshowreviews7777 alright, sounds good! Thank you. Keep up the good work. Always look forward to new videos!

@@jacobmielke270 You are surfing way too much volume for a fit sixteen year old that weighs 160 (unless you're groveling in knee high surf). I'd drop down to 31-32 liters. The inferno 72 is a full on high performance board with rocker (which makes paddling harder), so consider that too if your HS is a low rocker, wide (fishy) type board.

@@brantrichardson1949 I just ordered a custom Marbella black market at 30L ( they are a local board company it’s one of their high performance models. Should be here in October.

@@jacobmielke270 Stoked, you'll be able to sink the rail and do a solid turn at speed with that for sure.
