When I posted this pic the other day, some people thought I was irresponsible allowing Kristi to paddle out in these conditions. Everyone is entitled to thier own opinion and I take thier thoughts onboard.



What they may or may not have know is that even though Kristi was 500+m away from me I could talk to her like she was right next to me by using the Headzone radio helmet system! It allowed me to tell her to bail and swim through the back of the wave.

On this beach you cannot get line ups as the sand dunes in the foreground are higher than the back ground.The time between sets is quite long so there is no white wash to tell you where the break actually is. Its quite easy to get it very very wrong.

The radio system allowed me to put Kristi in the right position for the next wave and she got it easily because she was in the right spot.



We use the system to correct foot position, stance, rotation etc in real time as she surfs.

Lacey and Mac said more knee bend on back side turns and we got to this stance in one week:



I dont own shares in the company and they dont sponsor either Kristi or I.

I got the idea from seeing it being used at a Shayne Horan High Performance Clinic.

We have never looked back!

Hey Phil you should see the surf I take my lot out in - the same crew would be ringing docs LOL!!

As long as they can swim OK - let em go for it. We made all our kids do squad training once a week to make sure they were really strong swimmers - even thouh they hated it

Hey Goatie,

But remember she is a Girl lol.

Girls cant do this and girls cant do that PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT

So sick of the stereotypes.

GO GIRLS rip it up I say.

Hey Phil, one thing though.

Is it like remote control. Like: "OK, here comes a section, go high, ok now drop, bottom turn, set the rail and you're gonna smack it, Right bottom turn done straight up and Urrrggghhhh. OK good girl........"

That's how I'd be.

We'll move Torquay way in the next 12 months, have already started the ball rolling. It's these reasons that are my motivation for moving, to be close to the surf and to have such a physical, healthy and family oriented lifestyle. Hats off Phill, awesome pics, and awesome idea!!! Kickin ass Kristi!!!

Hey Aussie,

Beware, if you move to the coast you will never move back. Its like the Mob once your in you can never get out

Phill

I'm with you Gav...Torquay might be my answer to Hawaii!! What the? Well at least there are waves... might see you there! And yes...great place for the rug rats!!
