A special episode of the Dropping In Surf Show this month. Guest Barry Green, Centered Surfing, and Rob conducted a strike mission to Lake Chelan, WA to visit Lakeside Surf. Lakeside surf is an artificial standing wave using the City Wave technology, and is apparently the largest of it’s kind. In this episode, broken into three sections, Barry and Rob discuss our experience, walking in having never surfed a standing wave before to having four to five sessions on this wave. They talk about the journey of learning and how it can benefit you in general, our expectations and emotions throughout the time spent there, and how this wave might help you with your surfing technique. Section 1 is recorded immediately after Rob’s first two sessions and after Barry’s first. Section 2 is recorded after Rob’s 3rd and 4th session and Barry’s 2nd and 3rd. Finally, Section 3, has Rob and Barry watching their final session, commenting on what is seen on the screen as well as how they felt transitioning back into the ocean. Each section is roughly 15 minutes in length. Enjoy! Check out Lakeside Surf at https://www.lakesidesurf.com/

This week’s episode of the Dropping In Surf Show features guest co-host Harry Knight from Surf Simply. Harry and Rob discuss a research study conducted by Nick Pizzo (of Scripps Institute of Oceanography) named “Surfing Surface Gravity Waves”. They do their best to explain some of the science behind the study, but more so how the results can assist surfers progress in their ability to catch more waves and surf them better. Topics revolve around the wave’s sweet spot, paddling into waves, methods to generate speed on the wave, the speed at which our brains process information, how a surfer can use this information to help them, and more.

This Dropping In Surf Show episode reflects upon a day at the Kelly Slater Surf Ranch in Lemoore, CA. There’s a lot that goes on when you have an experience at the Surf Ranch, a range of emotions and thoughts, and I thought it would be cool to document that to help other surfers seeking to surf this pool, any other wave pool, or even help surfers with their general surfs in more perfect waves. We discuss emotions, flow of the day, and what a surfer can transfer to the ocean.
