- Tony - I decided to commit to playboating on a colder day than I intended, but I was pretty happy with what two and a half hours of playboating did for me. Big things and bigger loops are coming. Special thanks to Serge for the help!

Excited for more of this!
Yup! We'll get more into this as the weather warms up! Thanks for watching! :)
Nice video! It's great to see a progression instead of folks who are already awesome at these tricks
Well I can tell you that It will be more of me sucking to come. -Tony
Awesome video documenting your learning process!
One thing that Serge was doing, especially at Sunset, was initiating the bow with a little bit of angle, i.e. setting up at an angle and moving to perpendicular as he plugged. On a very horizontal hole like that, that little bit of slice will help the bow to plug - just requires a little patience and control. I'd suggest investing time in that technique rather than resorting to the 'quick solution' of whacking the seat forward. Counter-intuitively, for a wave-hole like that, having your weight more forward won't necessarily help, especially if the boat is stuck in a stable front surf in the trough. Learning to use the feature and get on top of the pile will be more useful long-term, as Serge said. Just my two cents!
Keep up the progress and let us know how you're doing - love the way the channel is developing, with this real community feel!
Thank Matthew! Yeah I tend to be a pretty impatient person when it comes to kayaking (I know not the best quality to have haha). This is something I will have to give a try next time I'm on the water. Hopefully I can bring more finesse and less bull in a china shop when I give it a go next. By the way I'm a big of yours!- Tony
@@JerKayaks thanks Tony! Keep at it. I'm sure you'll be looping like a champ in no time!
