I've been surfing since 1965 and I have listened to this and have to say "it's good advice." Having learnt on a 1960's "dunger" that experience actually ingrains many of these tips. Learning on a modern thruster then applying these tips will be harder. Good luck everyone and surf into your 70's thats my aim.
So much water wisdom here. Thanks to Anthony for his lovely honesty, humility and stoke and Clayton for his infuriating Zen master teaching. That's teamwork.
Been great watching your progression Ant you're the Yin to Clays Yang, the every day surfer that struggles and it's always great to see you have fun in-between getting screamed at by Clay
I think consciously looking down the wave to where you want to be / should be - rather than directly in front or at your board - is the best last note to remember ...after the step through pop up (you guys expertly simplify). Seeing where you want to go gets you shifting to the emerging scape. ( Which I think is what your going on about with the coffee cup 'concept'.) I have been a crap surfer since I was a little kid BUT that tip has got me a lot more waves this summer!
I can totally feel you. I surf for 32 years now and I suck. I am a landlocked surfer, that used to travel the world and spending years wasting time, not really knowing what to do. Now I will be surfing again next week after a couple of year out of the water and I am super curious about applying the tips of Clay and seeing how they work. I can only be better than before:)
Small detail from your footage I’ve noticed: on the bottom turn you lack a bit of compression and more rail engagement. Try thinking about getting your elbow from your back arm at the level of your front foot (it will probably force you to lean forward and press more on that front foot). Your surfing is amazing and its all about having fun anyways, so big shaka to you brother! Greetings from Spain
Ant you're such a great character, and inspire many people with every video! Keep it up OMBE surf!
Ant reminds me of a big sheepdog. Pure stoke. Always nice to hear what he has to say.
That was spot on, gonna bookmark it for later. Cheers Ant!
Great summary of all the OMBE wisdom
Great tips. Enjoyed this episode!
Thanks for your advice. Really appreciated
Great tips! You guys have helped me a lot.
Loved it !
Great vid. It’s such a different world for novice or even experienced surfers having access to this information.
love this guy. thank you Ant
Great! Thanks!
Awesome and Thank you.
I love this video, ANT is my mentor and to see him be human and helps me learn more than ALL their lessons.
Brilliant advice 👏 👌
This is a great vid, love tip 7.
Appreciate this :)
Great video, very useful, going to look into neutral stance! 🤙
Thank you!!!!!! 🥳🤩🙏🥳🥳🥳
9:10 coffee cup
I love how natural you are at public speaking. 👍
You just got to remember he is talking about backside speed generation. A lot of points speak to other surfing fundamentals, he is not discussing back vs front foot surfing, think about a backside bottom turn...if you are already sitting on your back foot your are going to brake(slow) the board during the turn, too heavy on the front and you bog the rail. There is always going to be that balance in a good turn. What he is teaching you here is a better posture to get over the front foot on the backside, have the speed to even make a good turn and, have the ability to transfer your weight!
05:48 I was just gonna write in the comments 'bodysurf!' I've switched from surfing after 26 years to bodyboarding and only occasionally surf nowadays both feel vastly different. A very good video lots of great tips. Body surfing and bodyboarding obviously you can feel the power of the wave on your legs and body as opposed to being stood on a board above it.
Ant, you're a better surfer than mathematician 😀.
I've been surfing almost 20 years at age 36...started a little late but skated and snowboarded as a kid. I am also not quite satisfied with my level of skill even after all these years. I can surf well, but I could be surfing much more challenging waves if I could break into the advanced category: generating lots of speed right from the takeoff, doing more committed full rail carves more often, getting barreled of the takeoff and not just down the line, etc. I'm hoping a surfskate will help a little bit and maybe a little more belief that I can take off deeper and steeper. I want to be able to utilize a wave to its fullest before I get too old...
Ant, I've been watching your progression over the last few years. Just don't give up now, because you're right there mate. In my opinion you just need to draw out your turns about 20 percent. Remember when Joel Parkinson cut his foot during one of his world title runs. I was surprised he started surfing again on a 6 10" before downsizing. I recon you should hit up Simon Anderson for a bigger blokes board in the 610 plus range to draw out your turns,, plus you will be forced to find classic lines to stay on those small waves. Then go back to your micro chips. Ok, idiot comment over and out. Have fun!
I mean, solid surfing, but style could be better. Load up on those turns a bit more. would like to see Ant attack the lip. Seems like you need a bit more flexibility to get lower center of gravity without poo stance.
these are so great!!!!
Trimming is an art, learn to trim first. You are picking lines from bottom to top, that's for big waves. Learn to do a simple 360 spin and then sit in reverse, the rest will come thereafter.
Not bad for 47 mate
Learn how to box, it will help you understand hooks and power, timing...All things you need, to attack with power while relaxed...Take a surfing stance..
I might be an absolute trash surfer but there is one thing I can say... I send it every session like I will be dining in VALHALLA.
My goal is to surf as ‘bad’ as Ant by year end
Enjoyable video! Age is just a number our bodies grow old but WE do not my friend 🙂
Your maths is terrible 😂😂😂 you’ve been surfing for 20 years
Ant you think to much, just travel more to find better and bigger, way easier than this Small crap wave pool
I surf surf only overhead+ way more easy everything more slow and fluos, but you must be a good swimmer when u SNAP leash or board
Understand ocean to be able to safely go back to shore swimming
Small mushy wave are only fun for very good surfers , that Start surfing when kids
For someone who's preaching about being relaxed out in the water, you seem really amped up and fidgety throughout the vid. Bro, relax & maybe lay off the coffee a bit. 😑
😕
Womp womp
Whoa. Ive been surfing since i was 17 and it took me a couple months to get to your level
