    Although I've been surfing since 1968 I still can learn from watching these videos. We didn't have any surfing schools back then, or even surfing coaches. I didn't have any friends who were experienced surfers to take me out and teach me things. Everything I learned was from trial and error. I had to learn things the hard way. Watching this video shows some of the mistakes I make even after 50 years of surfing!

      Hey @Ronald, thanks for your comment. It seems many of us have this in common. Being born inland Canada, we also never had any friends to teach us, we had to learn things the long and hard way. Through our Surf Trips and now with this UA-cam Channel, our mission is to help the beginner and Intermediate surfers going through the same path, learn as efficiently as possible.

    Just uploaded a video on catching waves yesterday and saw this today...I have to say, well done! I say the more competent surfers in the water the better, and catching green waves is one of those massive hurdles that comes early on and is sooo important. You have explained things so well. We overlap on a lot of points, and diverge in others. Keep it up and you will be pushing me to do better.

  • @rnunezc.4575
    @rnunezc.4575 4 роки тому +4

    The first lesson before trying catch a wave is correct positioning on board. Not too forward not too back. To get the correct position on most boards from small to funboards, is using the length of your arm to tip of board. Extend your arm laying on board to the nose of board. You should be able to grab or touch nose tip of board. On small boards you should be able to grab the nose. On larger funboard or longboards you should touch the tip of nose..so play try this position. The paddling also becomes easier when you follow this advice on positioning on the board.

    • @Paiadakine
      @Paiadakine 5 років тому +1

      Glitzy Todd i think lots of beginners pop up too early and stall the board. I tell people to count a second or two after you catch the wave to build up board speed before you pop up. If you pop up early you stall and miss the wave. If you pop up late you still catch the wave, but you miss some of the ride but you at least catch the wave and next time you can adjust. Good luck

  • @johnswimcat
    @johnswimcat 4 роки тому +2

    A really good video. I struggled for years trying to surf and this video would have been SO helpful. The other things that would have made a huge difference were a bigger board, as mentioned here, and being water fit, in other words a strong swimmer. I was talking to Peter Jones of PJ's Surf Shop in South Wales about board size. He said "All my surfing life I've seen people trying to ride boards that were too small for them". Wise words. I did eventually get water fit, training four times a week for masters swimming, but that was after my surfing years. How I wish it had been before those years.
