Ive taken surf lessons but all they do is push you and never explain anything. Its a waste. THIS is what im looking to learn. To actually understand things!! THANK YOU!! This is the best ive found!
@@TheSurfersJourney My coach was really good, giving me feedback on every single wave. I'll be seeing him weekly to improve my skills faster, while I practice daily during the week. I caught many waves with him pushing me, but I was also able to catch waves on my own the day after. That was my first surfing experience. I'm in Sayulita, Mexico
Dude...This is amazing. I have watched a countless number of surfing tutorials and this is by the far the best. Just purely epic. You managed to put a lifetime of knowledge into a little 40 minute video. How this video only has '727' likes I will never understand...This is top quality for both beginners AND advanced riders. You are an awesome teacher. Keep this up. Rooting for this channel to get bigger!!!
I'm going out for my first time solo next week! I took a lesson and absolutely loved it. Like the other comments said, the surf lessons you just get pushed around and learn pop up. There isn't a lot explained to you. This video has really given details and a lot of really good stuff for a beginner to know. Thanks so much man!
Mega epic tutorial, great upload...would like to see more detail on floaters and re-entry,s, The types of boards you would attempt them on. How to progressively work towards them, in particular the risks, how to avoid them and how to avoid injuries...great stuff man.
Amazing to watch the small changes in foot position, even for setting a rail for a turn. Also, interesting to see the inside hand position on takeoff, which is sometimes grabbing the rail, while the outside hand is on the deck to change weight distribution. Tiny details like this... crazy valuable for beginner like myself. Thank you so much for this video. Gives me a lot of different things to try.
Soooooooooooooo awesooooooooooommmmmmmeeeeeeee yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!!!!!!!! Thxxxxxxxx!!!!!!!!! HAPPY SURFING FROM VIRGINIA BEACH, VA!!!!!!
@@TheSurfersJourney I am still rocking with "ya" man!!! The new channel is fire!!! I miss those mysterious mystique dope shades 😎 you always rocked... Thxxxxxxxx to you and your mate Broccoli my learning curve went into Stark Trek overdrive warp speed and now the wave pocket and unbroken green faces out the back is my new and old best friend... Now I am building a quiver based on all your surfboard recommendations and I legit don't feel like a plateau is anywhere in sight but constant, smooth, steaaadyyy progression... Please keep the fuego 🔥 fire coming dude!!! Also, giving back to VETS and first responders is highly beyond notable, remarkable, and suuuppper higgghhhlyyy respectable!!! I am a lifetime fan dude... You keep posting 📫 and I will "most def" keep watching and rewatching all your content because I learn something new or brush up on things every time... Thanks a milly dude for what you do... Your channel made my surfing newbieness go smoothly without a hitch plus dialing in with my local surf shops Virginia Beach Surf Sessions and Coastal Edge in Virginia Beach, VA!!! Your the man and pleaaase don't retire or go ghost recon anytime soon... Cheeeeeers maaaaateee!!! Your a 100 stand up bloke dude, dude!!!! Cyyyaaaaaa neeexxxt time!!!! 🌴 🏄 🌴
Cheers mate! im just starting out, had a lesson a week ago, picked it up quick so far, moved to the coast (cornwall) but one thing ive noticed, my ribs are absolutely killing after only surfing 4 times, also got my own board
Hey mate, nice work! It could be something to do with your paddling position and potential lack of core engagement (for more info check out one of my paddling tutorials), are you wearing a wetsuit or anything?
@@TheSurfersJourney I do wear a wetsuit, but thinking of it, its a scuba wetsuit, 3mm all around so maybe a surf wetsuit might be a bit more padded in the chest? since my comment, the pain has subsided to 1 small area, I've surfed once but man it hurts! i had to cut my climbing session short yesterday! ill check out the paddling techniques now, but i think you could be right with the lack of core engagement, cheers for the reply dude
These videos are awesome and the point of view footage has helped improve my surfing massively so thanks very much. Bit colder over here in Scotland than Oz though! Keep up the good work, you’re a legend.
@@TheSurfersJourney I use a 6/5/4 suit with a hood, 5mm boots and 3mm gloves but even then after a few hours you’re hypothermic in the peak of winter! Honestly mate the videos are superb and you deserve all the recognition that comes your way. I still have a long way to go to get to “the flow” stage but I can actually do most of the manoeuvres thanks solely to your point of view tutorials.
@@NDK--nc5st Nathan Florence was just up in your area, posting it on his channel. You guys have some big, gnarly breaks up there. I had no idea. Cold, and big.
Should I start my bottom turn right from my pop up or wait until I’m going down the line? Is the speed from the drop in detrimental to the bottom turn?
It depends on the wave, so there is no set rule. It all comes down to speed. In some cases you can bottom turn straight from takeoff, however sometimes you need to generate speed first, and then bottom turn.
If you think there is a chance of hitting someone, then only perform turns that you know you can complete. Stay in control of your board and be aware of those around you.
Hi bro, thanks for the great video. But at the beginning of the video, you forgot to stretch and warm up your muscles so as not to get injured and get in shape)
Nice video! Good point not to drop many time in the same gay’s waves.😂 Kids has the power to learn, they absorb more info and feeling than adults. I learn as a kid and I can see friend at older age strangling a lot more than I did. Disfruta las olas mexicanas y sus tacos!

I’ve just started and surfed every day for 7 days without wetsuit in Bali and I have no issue with ribs area. But my toes are skinless! 😂😂
What a fine video! Subscribed!
Thank you very much!

Hey mate, thank you for your kind feedback, I am stoked to hear that the videos have helped. I'm sure it is, what wetsuit are you wearing in winter?

@@wcc1212 yeah he’s a bit further up north than me so he’s getting pounded by the Atlantic Ocean! I’m just the North Sea on the east coast
@@NDK--nc5st --gotcha. Yea, that stuff was big and bad up there.
Just the surf lesson I was looking for :)
Glad to hear it N C!
Amazing, thank you so much Ryan

Thank you for the excellent video.
Thanks for your feedback!
As usual, top content !
Much appreciated John!
Fantastic!! Thanks
Thanks James
Thank you dude, perfect tips👌🏻
Thanks for your feedback M Nickels
Thanks ❤
Thanks for another great video with awesome tips a impressive visuals! The POV really helps.
Is it possible to surf your rails on a longboard/ foamie?
Yeah absolutely, they are great to start learning basic turns and changes of direction.
Hey bro what beach is this
Should I start my bottom turn right from my pop up or wait until I’m going down the line? Is the speed from the drop in detrimental to the bottom turn?
It depends on the wave, so there is no set rule. It all comes down to speed. In some cases you can bottom turn straight from takeoff, however sometimes you need to generate speed first, and then bottom turn.
@@TheSurfersJourney thank you! I’m still figuring out pumping to gain speed, sometimes I sink my nose though
Can you tell me how to end my wave so I don’t hit anyone
If you think there is a chance of hitting someone, then only perform turns that you know you can complete. Stay in control of your board and be aware of those around you.
Hi bro, thanks for the great video. But at the beginning of the video, you forgot to stretch and warm up your muscles so as not to get injured and get in shape)
Thanks Dmitry!
I"m not very good at catching a wave yet, but I'm good at the turtle roll and sitting on my board, haha
As long as you're having fun that's all that matters!
Nice video! Good point not to drop many time in the same gay’s waves.😂
Kids has the power to learn, they absorb more info and feeling than adults. I learn as a kid and I can see friend at older age strangling a lot more than I did.
Disfruta las olas mexicanas y sus tacos!
No dropping in
Gpod video
Did he just say "leg rope" ?!
He did. Leggy or leash...👍
Next level :D
Hope it helps!
