Overheads for the Weekend: Glassy in the Mornings, Closed Out the Rest of the Day - Shortish Periods

Aloha Tribe,

We have some nice Overheads for the weekend coming up. Today too, for that matter. Super in the morning, probably even Glassy, then, Closed Out by the afternoon and dusk, so those will be awesome too. The Periods will be moderately short, about 9 seconds. A bit easier than the sometimes 4 to 6 seconds we often get.

It's truly amazing how balance training helps your surfing. It lifts you to whole new levels for experiementing with new moves and exploring old ones you thought you knew. I highly recommend learning to walk on Soft Ropes, Slacklines, and Tight Wires. And, don't worry about the height, that's not too important, though, it does have some applications in that sitting on top of a Double Overhead far Inside, you'll appreciate your sense of height confidence you can gain from a rope or wire as you look straight down the face for the possible Acid Drop of a life. Late Drops are fun. Just remember to Angle, if you like such things, or, learn to Submarine or do a Pearling 180 Spin, whatevers. The point is, play, have fun, and experiment and always push your limits.

Bodaciously Stoked,

Lily of the Valley
