  • Here's how you can safely and confidently surf over rocks, shallow reef and other intimidating breaks.
    Many people are surprised by this, but most interactions with the reef or shallow rock bottom occur during the paddle out and this can be avoided with some smart strategies and patient observation.

    Two things I thought you maybe should add. (1) Investigate breaks you want to surf at extreme low tide, walk out and get a good view of what's out there. (2) Some breaks are covered with colonies of razor sharp mussels, coral and/or nasty urchins - you don't want to peel all the flesh of your legs or back -so make sure you know what you are landing on if you crash.

    I know that spot well (which shall go unnamed) and first surfed it around 1980! (almost a secret spot back then with 1.5km walk-in access only). Had many amazing, fantastic memorable days surfing that break. Often had it to ourselves. I always found the bigger it was, the safer it was, as far as avoiding rocks. cheers

    • @maxmonlux
      @maxmonlux Рік тому

      @@thibaultschoenfelder4962 honestly sunset cliffs isn't that bad, just go at high tide the first few times. The paddle out can be tricky, but I wasn't that concerned about the shallows where the waves were actually breaking. I moved from SD to Okinawa and now I'm used to surfing some seriously shallow reefs. Definitely miss SD though

    can you make a video on how to get off the wave with your board, so that you can paddle back out as fast as possible without having to pull your leash and having to get back on? because I always do the pancake jump and I want to start getting off the waves like pros. can you make a video about that? thanks!!!!!

    😣heavy ding, I feel your pain, I put a hole in my wetty last week at triggs.
    Stoked u scored it for the first time, I've not surfed it. Always felt too sketchy to paddle out on my own. That's a good tip about not surfing reef breaks alone.🤙

    This video is really helpful, thanks 🤙 Reminds me when I was in Kauai (on my honeymoon) going on literally ‘1 of water and lava rock. I caught some fun corners but ended up catching my back fin on a rock and went tumbling after on the rocks, which weren’t too sharp thank God.

    Considering the current that sweeps through this joint, it's always a paddle fest just to stay in the lineup. All in all, not a bad option when all nearby spots are blown out.
