    I have wasted 20 years of surfing with shortboards that are too small and with few liters, now I am reborn with my catchsurf odysea 5.0 .. perfect for the Mediterranean, I congratulate you for taking care of these videos!

      so many people make that same mistake, including me! I surfed the wrong board for way too long. sometimes I’ll just watch all the surfers in NJ trying to ride 2’ waves on a short board. you can do it, but even the pros struggle for speed

    SoCal was just hit with an epic swell from Mexico's hurricane Frank. Surfed Malibu and yeah, even with 4 ft overhead swell had lots of party waves (Check Surfline Aug 2 & 3). All were fun, but the solo rides were an absolute bast!

    Would love to see you do some POV videos! I know, they don't help your own surfing, but for us viewers I think it'd be really helpful --- learning what to look for in a section, when to cross forward, when to recover, etc etc. Please do some POV if you got a chance.

    • @LongboardSessions
      @LongboardSessions  Рік тому

      I actually did some POV in my older videos with my gopro max. Most of the shots I used we're facing me, but some were pointing out towards the wave. It was such a pain to use though haha!

    I've been dedicated to the SUP learning curve for about 5 years.
    But your videos have me wanting to put a big nose rider in the quiver.
    I've been wanting to get some video of me surfing for couple years now.
    I feel like I'm surfing well and still progressing. But analysing some video would definitely be helpful.

    • @LongboardSessions
      @LongboardSessions  Рік тому +1

      video will only help! but yea, adding a traditional log will be a great addition. It will make you better at SUP as well. something about trying to navigate the wave with intent to noseride just makes you a better surfer

      I think he did pretty well. Me, not so much. The waves were bad that day and I ended up over surfing and forcing turns.
      Hopefully we'll try again soon.

      Great question! All this technical thinking and improving I do is actually how I get the most enjoyment out of a wave. So even though I'm always thinking of something to improve on, I'm also enjoying the wave as well.

      The footage in the edit was from about a month ago. Some of the shots I used in the beginning were from winter, but if i'm wearing a full suit, no boots or gloves, it's most likely summer. We had a good swell come through recently that produced some decent waves!
