Gabe Ley

When I first met Gabe, he needed guidance to improve his technique, tactics and strategies knowledge to build his confidence. The first thing that I noticed, he had a narrow stance and he used to bounce and swing his board too much. As consequence of his narrow stance, he could not low into a compressed body position. So, In order to widen his stance, I said to take the wax off and wax it up just where he wanted to place his front foot and I also suggested his parents that he needed to do some fitness training to get his legs stronger to make him to compress more and improve his technique.

We also worked on wave reading to make him to visualize there is an appropriate session to perform different types of maneuvers. Besides that the link between turns should be smooth and use rail to rail approach instead of bouncing the board.

We have been working since June of 2015 and his surfing has been improving quickly and the results are coming up.

Great job Gabe!!
