Cardboard Surfer – OMBE

Cardboard Surfer – OMBEHow do some surfers make it around sections, generate a sudden burst of speed, or seem to float across the lip of a wave? It comes down to how a surfer moves in order to drive their board forwards. It’s all too easy to stand flat on the board, making you heavy and stagnant in the water. For a surfer to be able to create those burst of energy moments, to move from A to B with speed, and create a lightness to float across the water, they must understand how to engage the body in the most efficient way. This understanding of the body and the way a surfer needs to move can be felt and trained on land with nothing more than a piece of cardboard.COURSE CONTENTGetting StartedWhy Cardboard SurferCutting the CardboardWalk Up to Pop UpLay downWalk upCardboard Walk Up to Pop UpPostureWhat is Good Surf PostureNeautral Stance & PostureStacking, Front-on, LungingStack jengaCoffee CupPick up the coffee cupCoffee Cup DriverCompress, Extend & TwistDriving FowardJump forwardDriving a SurfboardDrive CardboardFront vs Back footDeconstructing TurnsTurningTwist to turnCardboard TurnsEyes lead the wayPinky up Pinky DownHands lead the wayCombination mix upCardboard SurfCommon Mistakes
