Picture-perfect waves, ridden by absolute shredders are everywhere these days. Now let’s be real, most of us did not grow up surfing and do not live in Hawaï. This channel is about sharing what surfing is really like for the average person.
I started surfing at 25 and live in France, so my reality involves a lot of subpar conditions, cold water and sometimes, when the stars align, some epic waves. But be it small, choppy or pumping, I don’t care. As long as I can drop in and do a turn, I am out there!

Realistic POV Surfing Average Waves as an Intermediate
Typical surf in average waves. This is what it looks like when there is no ground swell in the ocean. That is, most of the time. Nothing to complain about though, it was offshore and still pretty fun!

Now I understand why the Olympic event is at Teahupo'o. But as we say here in So Cal, if you don't surf slop you don't surf!
@@justme307 Spot on 😂 Funny enough summer has been better than spring so far. That’s the spirit! As long as it’s rideable, we out there 🤙
Perché l’unico atleta francese è taithiano 😂
@@justme307 hey where are surfing in socal?
Awesome, keep going! From Southern California
@@JakeeReacher Cheers! Hope you’re having a sweet summer over there 🤙
Hey, do you have any tips for surfing larger steeper waves? I’ve Been learning heaps this winter with the bigger swells here in Australia but I still have a lot to learn I wipe out almost all the time haha, I know about angling the surfboard but is there any other tips that would be helpful?
1. Are you paddling enough? 2. Are you stand up fast enough? And where are you surfing in Australia?
@@cooperstandring Hey mate! If you can, positioning early and paddling hard helps a lot, that way you’re not taking that steep of a drop. If you must take off late, what’s been helping me a lot is to try pushing the board down and in front of me when popping up. That way, the board gets a bit of a head start down the face and my weight is way back, which is good to avoid nose diving! Practice makes perfect as always, keep at it and you’ll have your aha moment for sure! 🤙
People for some reason think they can get away with paddling softer in steep heavy waves but its actually the opposite. You need to make sure you are paddling your ass off to get in before the lip
@@maximebesson thanks for that
@@JakeeReacher how do i know if im not paddling enough? i think my pop up is fine. And i am in western australia
love these vids. looks fun. from long island new york!
@@john.mascolo Thanks a lot! Pretty fun at any size over here. Hopefully this incoming « very active » hurricane season will produce some epic waves on the East Coast 🤙
@@maximebesson yes my friend i’m very hopeful for some good ones these next few months
@@john.mascolo fingers crossed France will be firing too! We’re already having a pretty solid summer so far
@@maximebesson good luck my guy. keep charging🤝🤝
LOOKS AMAZING! where is that?
@@baro360 Thanks! That was near Lacanau, definitely the most intense sunrise of the year so far 🤙
still much better then my surf break 🤣
@@baro360 Aha not complaining, it was offshore! What’s your local break?
@@maximebesson I’m from Israel, it can get good ( usually in winter) but summer isn’t the best 😂
@@baro360Props to you for being a Mediterranean surfer 🤙 At least you get to enjoy warm water in the summer
Super awesome to see. Really hopeful I'll see the same improvement you did
@@robbiemorgan68 Thanks mate! Go out whenever you can, keep having fun and progress will certainly come 🤙
Great surfing❤❤❤ i love it new friend here😊
@@Ariez-Maac Thank you 🤙🤙
@@maximebesson my pleasure😊😊😊
Incroyable vidéo, dommage qu'il y ait pas trop de taille mais lever de soleil magnifique
@@02tinmar02 Merci! C’était mini c’est clair, juste assez pour ce lever de folie! 🤙
salut ! C'est où exactement ?
Vers Lacanau!
Awesome channel keep it up!
@@MichaelQuinlan-ld4ys Really appreciate your comment! Thank you 🙏
Nice videos! Cool surfing
@@samuelruz7197Thanks you! Means a lot 🤙
your insane at surfing dude
@@justinandrowenavaatstra7237 Thank you for comment!! Really appreciate it 🤙
#humble #welcomeinwestaus
Yooo! Some good waves bro!! I'm about the same level +\- - I think some of those barreling wave sections you could have gotten through if you immediately got up in sprinters stance leaning forward (not allowing yourself to freeze up for the first second or two) - minimum weight as possible on the back foot and 2-3 quick pumps into your front foot gas pedal as much as possible and focus way down the line with the eyes! Easier said than done though lol 🥶
@@jonstnr Hey man thank you for your comment! I think you are right on with your analysis. I did drop straight down a lot of times, rather than knife it across the face. I will admit it’s mostly because I was and still am scared of those square pits 😂
Top la vidéo, ça serait cool d'avoir des clips vu de la plage même si c'est plus compliqué à organiser j'imagine
@@02tinmar02 Merci beaucoup pour ton commentaire! J’aimerais beaucoup inclure ça mais oui c’est compliqué, j’ai pensé à un solo shot mais cher et peu fiable de ce que je lis. C’est en réflexion en tout cas! 🤙
@@maximebesson ah ben top, en tout cas continue la qualité est folle
@@02tinmar02 Merci beaucoup!!
Wow those are glassy and fun looking! Stunning ! Great work
@@thejarrettsjourney Thank you! It was a blessed morning for sure 🤙
Hope you return home safely ❤
Love seeing the Atlantic cost again, got great memories of that place. Stick at it 🤙
@@user-el2dn4zz3d Cheers! Hope you can visit again one day! Definitely a lovely coastline 🤙
Yewwww

As an intermiate surfer i love to see this kind of content. dont delete the "fail" in this way you keep the real experience vibes
@@alfredostefanizzi46 Thank you so much for your feedback! It does feel more genuine to keep the fails in, like you just said it’s part of the experience 🤙
Absolutely bro keep the videos real like this! Beautiful conditions there!
Super vidéo, continue comme ça 🔥🔥
@@02tinmar02 Merci beaucoup ça fait plaisir!! 🤙
It's too cold? I'm thinking to go there at the beginning of autumn.
Early autumn is the warmest there, around 21-24°C, so definitely not cold! Hope you’ll enjoy it 🤙
these are NOT MESSY waves!!!
Aha no wind chop I’ll give you that but kind of all over the place that day 🤙
@@maximebesson you are truly invited to surf the northsea with me in autum...then you will know what I mean with messy...
Theyre deffo 'messy' but I LOVE THESE DAYS.... waves come to you, no set peak, loads of folk chuck it off so rarely as crowded... some of my favourite sessions have been like this... although head high plus n blown out is even better... head high++ thins the crowd big time and is sooo choice, esp when outside lumps make it to our sand bar/beach n jack up WOOOP
@@helnorse a quick Google search was enough, that looks really messy aha
@@SchmozzleGTO So true! Days like these are so unpredictable, you might get a ton of waves or no waves at all, it’s what makes them so special! 🤙
Happy to see others have just as much fun as we do on small waves and cold water. We are fresh water lake surfers from Michigan. Learning the ropes and spreading stoke
Thank you so much! Lakes are a different kind of cold though, hats off to you guys! The stoke is truly universal 🤙
✌️🤙
Salut, j'aime beaucoup tes vidéos. C'est quoi ta board ?
Merci beaucoup pour ton commentaire! C’est un shortboard Olaian en 5’10, il fait 30L, franchement incroyable pour le prix 🤙
NICE !!
Thank you! 🤙
Salement drole le mec qui tombe comme une merde😂
Légendaire le mec 😂
Pull in 😂
Ahaha fully barrel dodging there 😂
Looks fun and empty
Thanks! All alone for the entire session, a true gift! 🤙
I’m sorry for your board bro 😅
Not your fault man! 😂
Great video! Where about is this? Like not specifically but more specific than silver coast haha
Thank you! This spot is off the beaten path, down South from Lacanau. Good thing about the Gironde region is you have over 100km of beach to find your own little sand bar 🤙
these videos are great. Fun waves that most of us "average Joes" have fun in!
Thank you so much! Exactly, when it’s too small for the local shredders, we go out and have the most fun 🤙
🤙🏽🤙🏽
Yew! 🤙
Love the video ❤
Cheers! Glad you liked it 🤙
Keep it up babe, I know that you will soon succeed !!!!
❤️
what time of day was this?
Not long after sunrise! The best conditions are almost always found in the early morning here in France 🤙
Sick video, how long have you been surfing?
Cheers mate! Been at it for almost 2 years 🤙
how long have you been surfing?
Little over 2 years!
yeew
🤙
Thank you
Thank you for watching!
Looks like a fun spot!
Pretty fun sandbar indeed! 🤙
Great video thanks
Thank you!
nice
Cheers! 🤙
Perfect 😍
අනේ පවු අලි ඇතුන් හරිම කෙට්ටුයි කන්න නැහැ වගේ එයාලට
We were there at the end of dry season, maybe food is getting scarce around that time for them?
You’re getting so much better 🥰
Best trip ever ❤️
Beautiful 😍
Incredible 🤗
Pretty nice view 🤩
Thanks babe!
Beautiful 😍
I have been there and i was disappointed I couldn’t see any elephants BUT all of a sudden herds of them came out of the bush. And went within an. Arm’s length of our truck big ones and babies😂
So cool! You got lucky to have whole herds coming at you. It’s crazy to see how unbothered they are with the trucks though. Definitely intimidating when they get really close 😂
