Sunrise Colored my vid

Great session yesterday with Andy Gere and NEsurfSUP

Here's a quick clip from my SoloShot3 Optic65


1st surf pic is NEsurfSUP (then he snuck off to another peak)
the rest are Andy Gere enjoying a Cape Cod Sunrise, such a great morning with these boys!

Very nice vid.. Beautiful lighting and colours.

Good stuff Creek. Very artsy
I've been having some great dawn patrol sessions this week too. Glassy and clean waist to shoulder. Water temp mid 70's. Crowds still a factor.

Was that Andy?  What a nice guy.  He let me swing a go for a beautiful set wave that he could have gone for.  My wave of the day.  Mahalo Andy!

Beautiful waves for sup surfing. Those are my favorite type of waves.

Thanks for sharing.

ha ha... this thread disappeared so fast into the Foil Zone, that I forgot it was here.
Yes... that was indeed Andy, fellow Zonoid from Santa Cruz!
Always a good time to share a session with him 

too bad you left yesterday NEsS, it was beautiful after the fog lifted a bit..... oily little sliders!

Nice rise and shine, Creeky! Those waves look sooo lined up and user friendly!

Great flow creek! I aspire to carve like that.

A lot of stoke material there. As always thanks for the work.

Thanks Cookieman, we have been blessed with a few good sandbars this summer!

Thanks J... I am glad to see yours and other vids on the Zone these days!

ha ha... I appreciate that Sean, just do it! Let it flow.... it's amazing what you can achieve when you set specific goals.
My videos help me a lot... Since I capture others surfing as well, I see other SUPsters do something that I like, I will study it.
Then I try to figure out exactly what it is that they are doing and then practice over and over, till I get it.

One example, my buddy has the sweetest little snap back (cutback) and mine are weak.
I realized that since I am "rail" surfer.... on all my cutbacks, I fully engage the rail.
This makes for a long turn back into the curl.
My right knee is compromised and weak, so I remain too upright to pull off a solid rail cutback.... and it always looks wimpy, and leaves me stalled in the pocket.

My friend doesn't use the rail at all... he does a tail pivot from the kick pad. the board snaps nicely around in a sweet "S" turn into the pocket and back to the shoulder.
I swear I have viewed that footage 50 times, frame by frame.... then done a split screen with my weak-ass cutty.

I am finally able to do that little snap on the occasional wave.
Not dialed in yet or natural... but it will be, when my body and mind fully understand when it works and how it feels.
Then I will own it and break my weak cutback habit

I made up a collage of my inspiration and my progress (pic)
