With the persistent wind from the west continuing to blow, our intermediate surfers set off to Black Stone this morning in search of fun waves. At Blackstone, the surfers found fun, waist to shoulder-high left-breaking waves running along the reef, brought in by a swell of 4.5 ft. from 13 seconds, coming from 221 degrees. The wind was blowing moderately cross-shore against the waves however the faces of the waves were clean enough for long rides across the reef. The surfers worked on correcting mistakes with their stance as they gain control of the surfboard after the pop-up.

As a beginner or low intermediate, developing the habit of surfing in the functional position is how you build your foundation for an effective stance. You can reach your surfing goals with your feet in the correct position and your weight properly distributed.
