Love this family and all surf content they put out. Been following since when Atua was this age, and still get excited when you guys upload a video or post on IG
With the repair you were making, depending on the plastic used in the mount, you might get better strength by filling that cavity around the screw with epoxy. Superglue only works in repairs where it's a microscopic layer between two pieces that match perfectly, and some plastics don't like it at all. Showing my ignorance, when I saw the video title I thought we were going to see a new hybrid *fish* native to Costa Rica. Little knowing that it wasn't a fish at all. Duh... I can talk all day about tunnels and channeling, and length versus your own weight as it relates to competition water skis, but when it comes to surfboards, my cat knows about as much about them as I do. LOL Fascinating video!
Yah, thanks for the tips. we were going to add epoxy tomorrow. Yah its funny how lifestyle sports like surfing, skiing, biking all have languages of their own
hi Guys. I have a problem, when I catch an unbroken wave I feel as if I'm going to fast to do a pop up. This is on about a 5 foot wave. my friend says I should paddle at a 45 degree angle to the wave. Any thought's?
im looking at getting a 6'10 x22 1/2 x3 1/4 Im around 100kg and 176cm will this be good for me? I want to surf small waves and big waves 2-8ft, I would say I'm beginner to intermediate. I can stand up and turn etc
Hey im 13, 4'7" and i weigh 75 pounds, I have a 5'7" hybrid fish board and I have never gone surfing before, is that a good board to learn on (I dont want to learn on a longboard).
Q and a hi guys I have tried swapping boards with a couple of my freinds one was a 5,4 and one was a 5'0 I was more comfortable on the 5,4 I'm 12 years old and I weigh about 35 kg im from Australia and I'm 4 foot 9 any tips on a surfboard dimensions thanks guys I watch all your videos and I really like them
Hey I want to learn how to surf but the waves here in florida are kind of small. I was looking into a board by catch surf called the stump because they say it is fun for small waves. Any suggestions?
if you are just starting out and the waves are weak, i should go for a longboard. longboards are awesome to learn on, and they will stay in your quiver forever, since they are still amazing on small clean spring days as you progress.
its all personally prefernce, 9 is a good area. 10 is a lot of board and 8 is a little harder too catch waves on. I would just try all of them and start with 9. Ive never tried a 10 but i have tried 9 2 and 8 foot and i prefer the 9 2 performance longboard
I'm about to buy a hybrid fish as my first board, I hope it's a good choice, I weigh 187lbs, I am 5'10, the board is 6'6 / 20 3/4 inches/ 2 3/4 inches with 39.1L of volume
Kyle Brooks depends on your surf experience level. seeing as you are still taking surfing lessons weighing close to 200 pounds, i would say its a bit on the shorter end of the volume spectrum. maybe go for a few liters more
Kyle Brooks Yeah man since you're still kinda new and heavier, I'd definitely say you need a bit more oomph. I remember getting my dad out for his first time on my Hybrid (didn't have my long with us at the time) and he's 6 foot 225 lbs. He didn't catch a single wave and could barely stay on the thing, and my Hybrid is technically rated for 50 more lbs than I weigh.
due to low rocker, it tends to nosedive more often on steep drops. also, it tends to be less responsive if you oversize these, compared to your shortboard, because the rails are a lot fuller, and the board is wider. usually, this will compensated with quite a pronounced V in the tail and and sometimes in the nose, so the board will be going rail to rail easier, and fishes/hybrids/grovelers are also shorter then your standard shortboard, which adds to more manoeuvrability as well.

Fish are fun on the small days! Even on bigger days when you just want to mess around. 🏄

+iSURFTRIBE I promise to like this comment on my mothers grave oh you said no you have to do it👌🏻
Nice video guys. Is really cool seeing those kids growing up!
Good luck on the contests!
Aloha from Brazil!
Thanks
Super glue and braided fishing line works well together for a super strong bond also add a little baking soda for even stronger bond
you guys should do a video prepping for that big swell about to hit Costa Rica. Looks pretty big
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!!! AND YOU GUYS HAVE HELPED TEACH ME HOW TO SURF SO MUCH I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU GUYS THANKS AGAIN!!!!! much love from Cali! :)
I'm 5'1 100 and love my 5'8 Mark Richards quad hybrid fish, I just wish it were smaller
What do I do when I want to go surfing when on my period. I'm afraid of sharks getting attracted to me, and biting my vagina. Any help?
Michael Macdonald that won't happen I promise 😂
hi Guys. I have a problem, when I catch an unbroken wave I feel as if I'm going to fast to do a pop up. This is on about a 5 foot wave. my friend says I should paddle at a 45 degree angle to the wave. Any thought's?
Just learn how to pop up fast. Do pop up as fast as you can and everything will be fine. Dont let your head think about it too much. Do it fast ! :)
You just should pop up faster, before you go down the line.
What type of hybrid fish board is the one in the video? Thanks!
Hi I know I’m super late on this video but what brand is this hybrid fish
Im 4'10 and about 90 pounds, can someone please recommend what i should get for a shortboard.
if your a beginner go for a 5'7 board
Steve Hurley lol thanks dude I got one just about that size for christmas
im looking at getting a 6'10 x22 1/2 x3 1/4 Im around 100kg and 176cm will this be good for me? I want to surf small waves and big waves 2-8ft, I would say I'm beginner to intermediate. I can stand up and turn etc
Hey im 13, 4'7" and i weigh 75 pounds, I have a 5'7" hybrid fish board and I have never gone surfing before, is that a good board to learn on (I dont want to learn on a longboard).
That's probably a bit to big for a person your size if your going to do airs and all that but it's good for beginners
For you very first couple of sessions go with a bigger board get the basics down then drop down to your hybrid fish, 1 foot bigger is good size.
Q and a hi guys I have tried swapping boards with a couple of my freinds one was a 5,4 and one was a 5'0 I was more comfortable on the 5,4 I'm 12 years old and I weigh about 35 kg im from Australia and I'm 4 foot 9 any tips on a surfboard dimensions thanks guys I watch all your videos and I really like them
What size surf board should I get if I am 5 feet one inches
it depends what level surfer u are
probably a 5'5
you should go to your local surfshop, and ask if they have any demo boards, and just try what board suits you!
4:07 Aww the poor guy got cut off
Hey I want to learn how to surf but the waves here in florida are kind of small. I was looking into a board by catch surf called the stump because they say it is fun for small waves. Any suggestions?
Not familiar with that model. I will have to go take a look online
if you are just starting out and the waves are weak, i should go for a longboard. longboards are awesome to learn on, and they will stay in your quiver forever, since they are still amazing on small clean spring days as you progress.
+Jasper van Loo alright thanks!
Andres Larrota and once you mastered your longboard, you can progress to a bigger groveler style board to shred it up!
Dumb question, why do shortboards always have a pointy nose as it seems potentially more dangerous than a slightly rounded one?
Susan Overson so it can carve fast and go through the water faster
Susan Overson its more high performance with a pointed nose
im into surf life the endless summer bc im a hippy ✌... anyway how important is longboard size? can anyone just hop on a 9 footer and be alright?
its all personally prefernce, 9 is a good area. 10 is a lot of board and 8 is a little harder too catch waves on. I would just try all of them and start with 9. Ive never tried a 10 but i have tried 9 2 and 8 foot and i prefer the 9 2 performance longboard
Alright, I'll keep this in mind. thanks for the reply :)

whats all of your favorite size waves to ride and favorite boards. ps love the videos and they've help me out alot. keep on keeping on
Our favorite is a couple feet over head glassy with barrel
I'm about to buy a hybrid fish as my first board, I hope it's a good choice, I weigh 187lbs, I am 5'10, the board is 6'6 / 20 3/4 inches/ 2 3/4 inches with 39.1L of volume
I'm going to go for about 3 - 5 more lessons on the longboard first, then I'll use my new one, does this sound like a good plan?
Kyle Brooks depends on your surf experience level. seeing as you are still taking surfing lessons weighing close to 200 pounds, i would say its a bit on the shorter end of the volume spectrum. maybe go for a few liters more
Kyle Brooks Yeah man since you're still kinda new and heavier, I'd definitely say you need a bit more oomph. I remember getting my dad out for his first time on my Hybrid (didn't have my long with us at the time) and he's 6 foot 225 lbs. He didn't catch a single wave and could barely stay on the thing, and my Hybrid is technically rated for 50 more lbs than I weigh.
what GoPro do you guys use?
I got a 5'8 almerrick fishcuit
so the only downside to a fish is that you cant duckdive it as easily? Arent there any other downsides?
due to low rocker, it tends to nosedive more often on steep drops. also, it tends to be less responsive if you oversize these, compared to your shortboard, because the rails are a lot fuller, and the board is wider. usually, this will compensated with quite a pronounced V in the tail and and sometimes in the nose, so the board will be going rail to rail easier, and fishes/hybrids/grovelers are also shorter then your standard shortboard, which adds to more manoeuvrability as well.
Jasper van Loo thank you that really helped
Yes thanks for filling in the gaps
great video
Guys are amazing man !
VidCon, nice!
