"One light bulb moment would be that you have a lot more time and rushing things makes it worse. When I tried to do less on a wave, not push things and work with the power zones of the wave, it made surfing a lot easier than trying to push a turn."

"The biggest take away from Clayton was to put your arms up. I tend to bend forwards a lot which is wrong in many ways and it limits your movements. From putting my arms up it makes my body more straight and up right and this changed everything in my surfing for me."

"The light bulb moment that will have the most impact is just to relax and enjoy my surfing. I tend to get very technical and over think when I am surfing. The first thing that Clayton told me is to just stop paddling like a crazy person and just relax. I can see major changes in my surfing and it just made it so much more enjoyable."

"The one light bulb moment that I would like to share is to look where you are going towards and get your knee and loosen up a bit to look where you are going."

"The best light bulb moment was to relax, relax your paddle, keep calm, don’t stress at all and just go with it. Also, to find the power of the wave and don’t try and paddle onto the wave use the wave energy and not your own and flow with it instead of fighting it."

"The best light bulb moment for me would be the combination of the understanding and learning how to use the power of the wave rather than trying to make power. So using the wave energy instead of your body energy and working with it instead of against it. It takes a lot of hard work to work against it or working for it rather than using it."

"My light bulb moment has been too stay very calm on my pop up, take my time, arch my back and look where I am going. That has magically fixed a lot of things, especially when I keep my hands up."

"My light bulb movement I think came from a decision I made to try and stay very positive mentally and see how that affected my surfing and my learning process and its had a big effect. Once you make the decision to take in the coaching and be grateful for it and stop beating yourself up you actually open up space in your body and head, in order to take the c..." Read more

"There has been so many highlights, but I guess the biggest one is stance and knowing how to stand right and move right, instead of being sideways and squatted and being more in a fight stance. It takes a while to commit to memory after you’ve been doing it wrong for so long, but it has just been such a light bulb moment for me. It feels so good when you get..." Read more

"I spent the last few months trying to work on my pop up at home every day, and the first day Clayton said show me your pop up, so I showed him and he said no lets do this instead. He showed me the walk up and since then I have not thought twice about my pop up. Just walk up and it’s that simple."

"My coaching experience Clayton made a huge positive impact on my surfing! Clayton has a keen eye for flaws in technique and he corrected a bunch of mistakes I was making and I wasn’t even aware I was doing them. This led to having more fun free surfing, better results, and way fewer injuries"

"Without Clayton Nienaber as my coach I would not have come close to making it onto the world championship tour (WCT). He has a really unique style of coaching and explained things to me in such simple terms. To this day I still use techniques that I learned from Clay."

"I really wish I had known earlier the whole arm positioning thing, how to be light on your feet and relax. Its been incredible and made a huge difference and to do a couple of turns and to feel that in action has been amazing."
