      Bro! I really appreciated the effort you put in to it. Very well scripted, beautifully shot, cut, suiting music and too notch narrating pace. I'm a film maker myself and its things like this that makes a whole lot of difference. It sucks to watch someone trying to teach you on a windy beach with little or no attention to how they've been mixing and so on. Keep pushing quality, this will be on the tube forever so it's definitely worth it and will generate views and subs in the long run. 🙏

  • @madmaxmedia
    @madmaxmedia 5 років тому +7

    It's a great idea to show the same waves and rides from multiple perspectives! It's so easy to stand on the shore and pick out good waves and take off points, a lot harder to do when you're in the water amongst the waves. I think you should also do this for other tutorials.

    Point break is much better to catch waves but beach break can be harder.
    Even if you sit in breaking point, waves might close out.
    Local shaper who living in northern beaches catches waves much more than others including myself.
    He sit in bit close to the beach and aiming to catch smaller waves which have more space to turn.
    Besides he can manage board choices and building for types of waves.
    Paddling techniques are definitely necessary I guess.

  • @Northwest360
    @Northwest360 4 роки тому +1

    Just subscribed! Great channel, do you have a video on catching waves as a beginner on beach breaks? (I feel safest with a sandy bottom, so am often at El Porto / Manhattan etc in CA). It often feels like the waves are powerful and close out fast, with what seems like onshore winds. In turn, there is rarely a slow, beautiful wave like these, and I find it hard to catch them. I've ready that early mornings are best just in general for calmer conditions, but any recommendations, or videos you've made that could help would be appreciated! Matt

    Hi guys, thanks for posting this. I noticed you (Kale) starting from a point a little to the inside (beach side) of the spot, then calculating and paddling out a bit before turning around. This seems better to me than sitting too far out, and having to race in, only to miss the wave. Since you did this, I will also continue to do it this way.

    • @KalesBroccoli
      @KalesBroccoli 5 років тому

      Jim McCarley yeah because it helps your positioning to always be facing the wave that you want to catch it allows for a better assessment of what’s going on. Almost could have mentioned it in the video but was getting too long

      Amy, I am also at this stage. I go to a beach break which is often too big for me. I have gone out a few times when the swell is smaller, and have found much more gentle waves. A slow, crumbly wave is much easier than the rapid forming giant walls that I often see there.

Would you explain to us the reason why his positioning is wrong instead your? maybe you can use the same video, with the same frames to make another video :) thank you and bye

    This might be dumb question but what the heck...I recently started surfing, I've been doing it for 3 months and I'm completely hooked.
    I started surfing on a soft-board, size 8.6', now, I have a transition board, Bic Malibu 7.9, at this point I'm still acquiring basic skills and confidence with each wave I catch.
    looking forward, I can't imagine moving to a short board, it looks way to, well...short!
    When I surf an 8.6' or a 7.9' my legs are on the board, because It's long enough, this helps me to pop up to a standing position, because I have a firm surface to leap off of (maybe this is a mistake....?) can you please demonstrate how to correctly position yourself and pop up on a short board?
