  • This may sound like something super simple but implementing these surf tips will improve your surfing.
    I believe the take off and pop-up are the most important factors to getting the most out of any wave, especially faster waves.
    I hope this episode helps! Thanks for watching. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll see you on the sand.

    Surfing steep and fast waves is the toughest part about surfing. I went to HB and found myself either too late or too early. It's frustrating but I'm determined to master it.

      When I was still beginning I was told by a really good friend of mine to try cup my hands slightly when paddling and not only to obviously dig deep but kinda push water slightly underneath my board too. That helped me a lot!!

      I used to pearl (nose dig) Everytime in Kona..I dove out to not get hit..never got hurt!
      Just bring the nose up with back foot pressure? Some Hawaiians would take off at an angle behind da peak on a twin fin or 3 fin..Aloha

    Nice video... But you miss the most important tip of all that explains why people miss timming the wave. Has you paddle to the wave ALWAYS LOOK AT WAVE AND WERE YOU WANNA GO AS YOU DROP. You got to have your eyes always focus at the wave and this is what makes you connected to the wave has this wave you get your timming right. Many times people miss the wave , paddle to much or less or are in the wrong position because they aren't looking enough at the wave. Training that posture and you will improve a lot... Your wave catch will sky rocket.
    Another thing that people do wrong when catching a wave is that they wanna pop up quickly that they do it to soon. You have to be fast but do it the right way and that is when you create speed and the board is stable, that comes with the flow that generated in the last 1 or 2 strokes, head up, chest open, looking were you wanna go and for a split of a second let the board flow... and finally pop up!

      THIS! I started surfing a couple months ago in Caparica, Portugal and until now I've been going straight to shore. Yesterday a guy in the lineup said to me "just look wherever you wanna go". Instant improvement! First try, I rode along the wave.

      @@cristobaljimenezvancauwela9181 Just keep improving and training that momentum when looking at the wave while paddling and your wave count will skyrocket. You will find later that you even can stall for a bit of a second just before the popup (this gives your the oportunity to stabe the board and your body alignment). Good waves to you... 🤙

    Brad, someone below said to make more of these videos. I agree. This is excellent. Also, I grew up surfing in So Cal. Stopped in my early twenties (and I was an above average surfer). Then no surfing for easily close to thirty years. Two things against me... to an extent, age, though I'm in excellent shape and living in NY which makes things way more difficult (short season and limited spots.... I'm not big on Rockaway, as it's all lefts). If you have any suggestion at all out of this long post, I'm open to any constructive feedback. Btw, riding a 7'6" board as I never learned on short boards. Love your videos.

    What I tell all beginners that I meet is to drop at 2:00 or 10:00 since they are not good at bottom turning, that way they can ride the waves and start cutting on it from the drop. Do they pay attention to my advise, most of them not and they won't learn. I've seen them surfing after a couple of years and still go straight down on the white wash.

    Brad,
    I really enjoyed your videos I have been surfing since about 1963 and have had many enjoyable sessions with friends on Marta's Vineyard where I live all up and down the East Coast also in Santa Cruz and up north at Dillon Beach and in Costa Rica I want to keep surfing as long as I can.
    What I am facing now is I am wearing out my body I just had my left hip replaced and both knees a few years back I find it is getting much harder to pop up quickly like I used to. I was wondering if you could give some video instructions for older surfers for improving wave count and ways to modify your take-off besides using a walker. I have had to give up on some of my breaks due to them being too steep take-off and just not being able to pop up fast enough, thanks, Chas.

You don't turn your board when your paddling for a wave and starting to drop in, you drop in at an angle, you should already have read the wave knowing it's a right or left and then angle your board to drop into the wave which has the better open face etc, 2. Is that a shark in the water right beside the guy dropping in at 8:23?

    Absolutely correct about how you can tell an experienced Surfer by the fact that he or she takes the time, to feel their way into the ocean. The inexperienced kook runs into the water because they are so self-conscious about their presence,and unease in an environment that they're not familiar with and may not belong.
