BIG thank you to all my e-mail subscribers for submitting these questions before the membership site was launched so I’d have some material to cover for my initial members. There’s still a bunch more questions that came from my e-mail list, so I’ll finish answering those questions and uploading the videos to the video library. Once complete, all questions I answer will be coming from the Q&A submission portal of the membership site.

- Question, Riding Waves
Jean submitted a question about surfing closeouts. Since her local beach offers mostly closeouts, she wanted to know how to make the most of what’s on offer. Thanks for your question, Jean, and keep up the “surf in anything” attitude. It will pay off.

- Question
Kristi is a big fan of The Surf Continuum. She’s a member of the site, she listens to KookCast, but she really wants to find a GOOD surf coach to help her in real life, and not someone that’s just going to push her into waves, but help her actually improve through good technique and fundamental principles. Luckily for Kristi, she’s based in Southern California and already signed up to work with Coach Evan, who in my opinion, is the best surf coach out there (I always say he’s even better than me). Apologies for the video quality, Kristi! I had an issue with a few files 🙁
