I hope this adds something to your day...We're in the Outer Banks ( the Lighthouse is our main break). My 11 year old daughter surfed (by herself, of course) in 50 degree water for an hour and a half. Then some schoolwork. Then she went out on the surf skate for a while. (Her decision) I'm trying to get her to use her upper body rotation more effectively. The trailing arm is fine, but the lead arm is always low. She's very defensive about it. I thought she'd benefit from looking at one of your videos -- there aren't a lot of models for her out there and your upper body work is strong. This video comes up. She LOVED it. The side-by-side with the Ewing video was fantastic. It showed her that even great surfers are always looking for improvements and it's really just a process of work, fun, and (hopefully) steady improvement. Thanks for the video...We're off to the skate park in 30 minutes.
Wow! 50 degree water!! That’s cold 🥶 and so psyched she enjoyed and learnt something from this vid. In weeks to come we’re going to break the steps down for a carve, snap ect. So hopefully those help her also 😀
Lakey you are a true professional. . Visualization gone wrong is like the Cowboy kicker who missed 4 extra points in a row in win against Bucs . He was visualizing missing . I could see the fear and anxiety in his eyes on kick 1 2 3 and 4 . I felts so bad for him . He should have done something to visualize the ball going through the uprights . He is a great kicker , but self doubt took over . And his team is sticking with him . Love your channel Lakey . Go win that World Championship. It’s yours for the taking . I’m rooting for you .
Nice work Lakey! Comparing clips to Ethan and talking about his back arm, check out more video breakdown of him by Coach Clay. He gets fairly technical about hand, arm, shoulder, head, weight and foot placement with his video analysis. "How to surf rail to rail with Ethan Ewing". OMBE Surf. Pass the coffee!
Biggest thing I've noticed with new surfers is "looking at your work", instead of looking where you want to go down the line. Especially when snaps were huge in 80's and 90's. Everyone wanted to see how much spray they were(n't) hucking. Great tips with the skating too. Although I think a lot of folks are "forcing" their style on surfskates lately wanting it to look just like surfing, instead of flowing, and they end up looking like robots. Being East coast I think too that most people here would be better suited to just ride mids and logs. My surfing took a big hit when I rode elf shoe/potato chip boards for a few years emulating Slater and Machado equipment, we just don't have the juice to push those wafers. Foam is your friend in junk.
Glad you enjoyed it bob! 100%, if your not looking where your going your body is going yo rotate and move in a disjointed way. Ahhh I remember watching super old vids from the 80’s with those look back snaps.
Yes visualization is huge! I surf and ski and use it in both. Also my carve board has made a big difference. Mine has pneumatic tires since my hard wheel board kept getting tripped up and throwing me off :(. The bigger softer tires go right over those hazards. Thanks for the great tips!
I agree 100 with visualization. Works fore when I remember to do it. LoL. Do you think having fun is also a factor. Being too serious is kinda counter intuitive to surfing
Thank you so much for this video!! This is exactly what I needed to see to develop my surfing, please share more surfing tips and ways to improve surfing as you go along. I appreciate your content and being able to watch your journey as a female surfer.
Thanks so much Sarah! We have plenty more coming your way. Some may suit you better than others but stoked if there’s a few pointers you can take from them 🙌
Thanks Lakey! This is one of the most complete videos I've seen to improve your surfing. When I was a kid I learnt to wrap a towel around my waist because of a dream where I twisted the corner of the towel into a ball, and tucked it under, so visualisation does work! :)
Very cool video and awesome tips. Visualization is real and together with proper training anything can be done. Back in the day when I short and mid length boarded my bottom turn inspiration was the king of big silky bottom turns and cutbacks, Tom Curren. It just looked so powerful yet so smooth and easy. Video analysis is a great tool, never used it for surfing but when competing in outrigger and surfski, video training was key to fully comprehending what coaches were trying to tell us. Actually seeing your form and timing in what ever sport is key to improving.
Lakey you re amazing! best lessons i have ever watched online so far! please more of this although I know you might be super busy !! Cheers from Morocco 🙌
Thanks for your time, effort and seasoned sharing. I appreciate how you break down the content with specific examples and an approachable-open vibe. Also, a word of acknowledgement for finding (or building) the muscle to deliver in WA in a time of need. True sport.
Would you ever consider breaking down some of your heats this upcoming season what you did right and wrong. Or like explain your strategy, if you were trying to pull ur opponent to deep off the peak or just like an analysis of what was going through ur head during ur heat?
Thanks, that was great information. The question I have for you is, what do you recommend for working on paddling endurance besides surfing or swimming? I’m 52 years old and I transitioned to a shorter board about two seasons ago and I find that I get tired fairly quickly especially with a thick wetsuit on. I live in Boston and I surf year round, but with work and family I can’t always go, so when I do go out, I often struggle to catch a handful of waves.
We’ve actually had this question asked a few times. We’ll try and do a video focussed on it. I would say the cheapest and easiest way to hit the paddle muscles out of the water would be using resistance bands. You can do paddler hold variations that hit similar muscles to that you use for paddling 🙌
So good Lakey, can't wait to See all of your Tips and advices...Love this!!! I really Like how You Break down your own Surfing and took Ethan for comparison. Just Love it, such a great Input, thank you so much!!!
Lakey: "These tips are for all levels wether you're a beginner or an advanced surfer" - Me as a beginner: "Ah, so this video is for me" Also Lakey: "So if you wanna do airs or visualize your heat strategy, I have some tips for you" :D Just kidding :D loving your content! Keep pushing the channel and wishing you all the best for the upcoming season. Personally, I would be interested in some behind the scenes footage of the competitions and more workout videos :)
Any advice for popping up to far forward . I get you can move your feet. but on fast wave it would awesome to have my back foot on the tail pad . I usually am just past the stomp pad . Thanx
Okay, I’ll try and cover this in one of the Thursday’s to come. Advice off the top of my head would be to get two sticky dots on the ground. Measure out where you want each foot on your board and complete 2-3x10 pop up’s on land ensuring both feet are on those dots. Hope that makes sense.
Amazing content!!! Thanks for the tips!! I've been out of the water for a while, but this video definitely encouraged me to go back, and put this tips to work!!
Loved this one, not currently a surfer but plans to give it a try this year on a long board. Also, digging the 2 vids/week. Looking forward to cheering you on at Pipe!
Hey Lakey! I've really been enjoying your videos! I actually grew up in Carpinteria and I think we surfed together in some comps early on! You're a little younger than me, but I remember you being a little ripper grom! I'm also a bodyworker and a Rolfer and I wanted to share with you about Rolfing, if you don't know about it already. It's a really amazing branch of bodywork that supports over-all postural alignment and focuses to the fascial network that connects the entire body. Especially with injury, it's great for unwinding compensatory patterns and finding a new way of moving and being in a body, more ease, more freedom. Check it out! Look up Rolfing or Structural Integration in your area. Ed Maupin is a legendary Rolfer and I think he may live in the San Diego area, though I'm not totally sure. Tom Tom might be into it too! All the best for this upcoming season!
Ahhh no way! Such a small world. Carp rocks doesn’t it! Yes, I’ve actually worked with a few rolfers before and Tom regards them highly. Super cool field to be in! I’ll tell Tom to check out Ed’s stuff. Super stoked your enjoying the vids ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Cool to see you guys growing ur Channel now I got something to watch am mondays and Thursdays. I only started surfing during COVID so still a ton to learn excited for this segment!
Nice content. I liked your willingness to share things you’ve learned as a competitive athlete. I grew up a skater in NorCal in the late 80s early 90s, and visualization was huge. We’d watch skate videos in slow-mo over and over. I think part of the reason the kids now are so much more consistent and more skilled is precisely because they get new footage for analysis every second online, literally. Skate videos dropped once a year for us, so visual progress only came at that speed. And, getting footage of yourself was sorta reserved for the rich cause cameras weren’t cheap necessarily and editing was not easy nor fun. I heard that visualization is 38% of learning a skill. This includes watching others do it as well as pretending in your mind that it is you. Btw, I have the same problem with my top hand going more vertical in a wrap. I think it’s angle of approach partly, and trying to change direction toooooo fast rather than elongating the turn for just a split second longer. I think it’s the same in a bottom turn. Ethan finds a place to freeze his body that engages his rails longer, and even that split second creates a more fluid rail to rail such that the back arm doesn’t have to reach vertical to compensate for a rapid shift, and almost braking, coming from a change of direction. I’ve been working on the SurfSkate trying to engage that back arm at a lower angle letting it lead my turn more loosely rather than catch me after I engage a turn rapidly from my wheels/fins. I know many say all this analysis is being a “surf nerd”, but in surfing, it’s like more than half the battle. Wish my younger self could’ve figured this out.
100% things are so easy to complete analysis these days. Love that you use the skateboard as well to work on your arm angles. I’m sure it’s pushed your improvement curve forwards a lot too 😊🙌
@@Lakey_Peterson still working on it. At 41, I need every tool there is. I was good at skating as a kid, and these SurfSkates sorta gave skating a second life for me…with the motivation of it potentially speeding up the progress of my surfing. I tried shortboarding when I first moved to Oahu at 18 from Norcal, but ended up just a fair weather longboarder in Waikiki for a few decades, and could eventually handle my own in some decent surf. Moved to BI and my local break here is fast and punchy, so at 39, I bought an entire quiver of shortboards, a few SurfSkates, and just put in the hours with the hopes that I could make progress on my 18 year old dreams that I gave up on 20 plus years ago to, “do life”. Now I’m trying to utilize all the tools, all the RUclips resources, etc., to bridge the gaps and make up for lost time. As a teen and young adult, I didn’t know that surfing was soooo nuanced and that EVERYTHING LITTLE TECH THING MATTERED! Anyways, again I admire the fact that you’re sharing the knowledge. For me, I like the surf nerd videos more than vlogs. I like to learn and analyze. Noel Salas and Nate Florence are cool like that too.

You're most welcome!
Thank you very much for teaching a big hug from Barcelona my friend 🌹👍
Hope you enjoyed Marcelo ☺️
Yes visualization is huge! I surf and ski and use it in both. Also my carve board has made a big difference. Mine has pneumatic tires since my hard wheel board kept getting tripped up and throwing me off :(. The bigger softer tires go right over those hazards. Thanks for the great tips!
Epic! Stoked you enjoyed it Jim! 😀
I agree 100 with visualization. Works fore when I remember to do it. LoL. Do you think having fun is also a factor. Being too serious is kinda counter intuitive to surfing

Would love a deep dive on bottom turns. Timing and placement. :) Thanks Lakey!
Will add to the list 😊🙌
You just checked all the boxes. Mobility, and the visualization sound excellent. As always thanks. 🤙

love this Lakey, great job.
Thanks 🙏
Amazing content!!! Thanks for the tips!! I've been out of the water for a while, but this video definitely encouraged me to go back, and put this tips to work!!
So good to hear! Let us know how they work for you⚡️⚡️⚡️
*Great exercise recommendations. Outside of mobility and strength do you have any preferred ways to increase cardio ??*
Swimming and assault bike for me these days.. however before my back I loved the skiergo… felt it hit similar muscles to that you use for paddling
