- In this week's episode of Surf Simply's new Quick Tips series, Surf Simply Founder Ru Hill talks through the positioning of the leading arm, and how it can lead to either a successful maneuver or become the limiting factor.

Tried this tip this morning and it helped a TON! I always tried the "point to where you're going" method, and I felt like my leaning head and upper body made me prone to tipping over. With my open shoulders I was able to pump and glide through the wave face like a dream. A heap of thanks!
Great to hear JPC!
Loved “...unless you can get half of your board above the lip” 😆 yeah, if you’re at that level, you can go “full John John” and even keep both your arms behind your back... until then - keep it outside your heel rail 😆
Haha yes John John is in the superhuman category! Thanks for watching Vladimir
Thanks for making these videos! Technical, based on physics of the process and without pseudo spiritual nonsense like "vision" and "compression/extension". I wish I found your channel when I was starting up. Please keep it up!! Good luck with everything!!
My arms have a mind of their own.. Thanks loving the tips.
Mine too!
Holy sh*t, I think this is going to solve my balance issue. Putting on wetsuit now. Cheers dude.
Enjoy and report back!
I went this morning too and my balance and control definitely increased👌🏼
They call me spaghetti arms lol. Hopefully not anymore. Thank you so much for this.
Hi Ru, thanks so much for the video, these are fantastic! You mentioned in an earlier one that you would do a video on carving turns - will this one still be coming out ?
Coming soon!
@@SurfSimply Unreal, looking forward to it!
Mahalo.
Loving this tips, I also give tips on my chanel but for surfskaters and begginers.
Any tips on drills to prevent both arms coming over the inside rail on forehand? Looking at go pro footage my stance is awful which must be hampering my surfing!
This quick tips is one of the best surfing progression content out there.
Ru, thank you.
Great (as always😀). Not applicable for waveski of course😉, but shared it in the surfing group Belgium and Netherlands on FB. True, that comparison with snowboarding, I will remember NOT to do that when standing on a surfboard 🤙
Thanks for sharing, I'm from Skegness on the east coast of England so I'm familiar with the North Sea surf that Belgium and the Netherlands get!
@@SurfSimply hey Ru, thanks for your message man. Maybe you can help me out with a question on fin sizes, since you know the surf in the North Sea? I've been watching a surf Simply video with Harry today where he talks about fin sizes. I've been learning a lot about fins lately, but it's still so much info to process. I'm using 3,5inch now on my waveski, a thruster, all same size. But I wonder if that size is not too big. My weight is only 60kg, I'm only 175cm. I still have a lot to learn, but I would like to describe my style of surfing (or at least what I'm aiming to) as freestyle. I love to make figures, sharp, radical turns. And I definitely want to reach the level that I can make airs (again, still have a lot to learn) . But as you know, waves can have a good size here, but many times they have a lack of power.. Any suggestions on fin size? Thanks man, I'm a big fan since I discovered your whiteboard wednesdays 3 years ago and you're a big inspiration for the tutorials on my UA-cam channel✌️
Great advice . Also you must be mick. Jaggers love child
This suggestion is definitely a theme in the comments this week! Haha
I'm sure you'd have to see to know for sure, but I keep finding when i do a backside top turn the board shoots out in front of me half the time. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong?
Well it could be that there isn't enough weight on the inside rail and so you have no grip, kind of like being on edge on a snowboard, or slipping when flat. The other option is that perhaps you're stood too tall and we simply are losing balance from our heavy and high shoulders pulling us down. Or a combination of the too. Focus on either and come back to us with some data! Thanks for watching K Rule!
@@SurfSimply I think staying lower will definitely serve me well. I'll get back to you with results. Thanks for the response!
Love it
nice. Dope track at the end. What was that?
Fun fact. That was actually a track which Ru made in his bedroom as a teenager by slowing down some old Aretha Franklin records and mixing them together in Cubase.
Great tip! Thanks so much!!
You are so welcome!
Great tip guys. Thanks 🤙🏻
You bet!
This channel is brilliant!
Thanks Not The Real McCoy!
Whereabouts is the 1:37 clip from?
