- In this video, we identify the key areas of a wave where you can find the most power and speed. We also review different angles of the same wave setting to predict what the wave will do and see how much we know about wave reading.

ABOUT THE INTERMEDIATE PATHWAY
Improve your surfing with a structured follow-along program for intermediate surfers to break bad habits and to help you master the fundamentals, from how to catch a wave, how to pop up better, generate speed, develop a neutral stance, tap into the power sources, start building flow, style and develop your cutbacks. The program includes twelve sessions breaking down everything you need. You can either follow along or go at your own pace and join all other surfers on the same course, ask each other questions and share your success stories. At the end of every month, we go live with a feedback webinar where we answer your questions and review your footage.

Love Nico's honesty about what he can and can't see. Instead of just agreeing. It helps us all learn 😅 Thanks guys
😅😅
Finally we can all see it, I felt like I was blind. I definitely would be down for a hour long video like this with different waves. So I can get some reps in 😂
This breakdown of lip/crest/source of energy would be amazing comparing between at least a few different types of waves
Yeah, It would have so much value to see this with some different types of natural waves, because in the video of the wave pool it's clear to me now, but when I'm out in the Ocean things look different..
Love this esp Nico’s honesty! So informative. Hope that some day I will be able to incorporate reading a wave into my surfing.
Holy shit, I'm almost 42, have been surfing most of that time and now it makes sense! I wish I saw this video 30 years ago!!!
Stoked it made an impact. Too some time to edit this one
incredibly insightful. I love this technical analysis
Expert coach! Genius🤙🤙🤙👍👍👍
Mind is blown... I can see it, thanks Clay!
Amazing video guys! Pleeeeeeeeease do one for the ocean.
I can't see it either Nico.
Amazing video!
so good! do some of these from footage in the ocean!
This has helped my surfing so much in a really short amount of time. Thanks again boys
Great tutorial. I think I do this instinctively? I am now amped to want to get out and look at it consciously. Nicco, you are a legend!😂 Great edit.
I get stuck on the top a bunch...yeah, no more energy in that area...get hung up.
I was able to see what Clay was talking about, the true wave crest. I just didn't know what I was looking at before Clay explained it graphically on the tablet. This is going to change how I look at the beachbreak waves at my local.
I’m with Nicco on this video. 🤯😄
Clay is a wave whisperer!!!!
O my god, that's what is happening, cutback as the 2 parts of the wave become 1 hollow surface, that's what makes you go vertical !!!
I just thought you should make a cutback on the steepest part of the wave, now I know why. Thnx Clayton!
Great content guys. Keep it coming. Loving niko in these.
Clay is a genius.
thanks to nico, i can under stand that we have to aim the bottom power zone. thanks a lot
Absolutely!
3:37 LMFAO!
Great insight guys 🤙🏽
Your video explains where you want to turn. My question is during a pop up are you also looking for that second wave? And if so do you start the pop up immediately we you recognize 2 little wave?
Off topic question. Can we be reasonably confident that every store board by the big manufacturers is going to be s good board for its intended purpose?
funny editing :D
Love these Q&As 😅 the inner monologue is too funny
Now that‘s what I call fu🌊king golden nugget!
Please more videos analysis of reading waves
nice work ! greeets from germany !
03:55 i cant see it either mate
wait i can see it now
Love❤it
But how do you see that while you're surfing the wave?? 😅
Hey, could you guys do a video specifically talking about in detail the best way to avoid your board when falling in a closeout? Its a big mental hurdle for me and definitely a lot of other people to and would like some tips of how to fall/push board to help increase my confidence a bit. The thrashing is fun, but the board is sketchy. Watched your video on how to fall but you didn’t really tough too much on it. Just found your channel and love the content! Keep it up!
Hey Clay, I'm a lifetime OMBE member and have been waiting for this!
All I can say is more, more, MORE!!
This feels so important to me, way more important than learning manoeuvres.
Can we get this on all kinds of waves? Particularly mushy small ones.
Can we get this for pro comps with analysis of their decision making about bottom turn depth, manoeuvre type etc?
So much more to learn here, feel like I could spend weeks watching both videos and real waves to get this dialed.
Super appreciate your work 🙏
Will do!
Great video . Being a tradesman in a building industry trying to explain the tricks and trades takes ages just like surfing most people are on a wave and then thinking about doing a turn or next move not as easy as Clayton shows in the video I am also like Nico and be saying the same thing I feel it’s sounds so easy and relax etc but again it’s not as easy as shown in the vlog
🤣🤣🤣 thank you so much. I can see it, but that doesn't mean necessarily I can put a value on this...
very very helpful .. thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Game changing info ritght there, thank you soooo much. I want to hit the water right away now
LOL 😂Super Funny but at the same time so helpfull
Loving Nico’s honesty and what he says is so true😂👍🏻
I’m with you Nico, total new frontier!
This was headblowing! 😮👏
More please!
In the pipeline
This was such a helpful video
wait so are we supposed to hit/stay in the middle lump power zone - does this mean the midline is the new 'highline'?
This is very much tailored to THIS wave at the Wavepool and how they break - take the awareness into other waves and see how they break. We'll need to do a follow up video.
I can not stop praising Clayton's teaching.
Best teacher I have ever seen.
I salute you from Spain.
Thank you!
I found this really confusing to be honest, then again I've only been surfing 3 years, just felt a bit lost knowing what to look for even watching it a few times through.
What you look for in the video is where there's a bright highlight on the lower part of the wave, then there's a sharp line where it turns slightly darker above that. The top of the bright bit is the top of the lower curve of the wave where it's pulling from under. The dark bit above it is where the wave crest is pushing from behind. Waves are weird about crests. They can crest for like a hundred feet or more without breaking--you see loads of people way far out from shore trying to catch the crest and they paddle furiously and waves pass under them. In closer to shore/sand bar/reef, the depth is lower and water gets pulled backward into the wave which causes the break. What he's explaining is that waves don't always have a simple round curl because there are two parts to it. Eventually the bottom and crest come together, but at first the motion is split at least with a lot of waves. The bottom part with the water drawing up is what allows you to do the Oreo technique.
@@MeadMcLean thanks. I’ll watch again and keep this in mind. So the top of the lower part is effectively what you’re aiming for at least in the earlier stage of the wave?
@@MeadMcLean ok watched again and think i'm seeing it a bit more clearly now.
