THANKS FIR THE TINESTAMPS!!
Hey mate. So I just started surfing 2 years ago and the past month you've progressed my abilities so much. From popping up smoother to riding with confidence. Thank you,I should've checked you out a while ago but I've always had like a chip on my shoulder and do it my way but I'm breaking out of that. Thank you bro
Your change in mindset will not only improve your surfing, but also your life. Bravo Chris
I've never heard him as stressed in these videos as him putting on that tail pad lol, love these videos, so well produced and clear.
I still put my new board in my room! 😂
I put all my boards in my room
Me too
Yeh same 😂
That surf shop is 🔥🔥
I know right
Any surf shop is lit. They all look so cool. I look forward to going every few months
@@chrisbauman2562 bro my surf shop has a whole 4 boards and like 5 bars of wax 😂😂
@@Guy-rz4qh haha dang that must suck we have a bunch of surf shops over here some really big others not so much. I guess it makes sense since Hawaii is famous for surfing as well as other things
What's going on How To Rip, I'm a South African surfer. Funny thing about our swells, we actually get better sets when the weather's super cold. I've had to change my wax from tropical to cool in some Winters. This vid was a huge help when I got my new board for my birthday! I've been renting my boards up until now and I'm so stoked to finally have my own! Keep up the good work 🤙🏼
Love South Africa - spent a lot of time there :) in thick wetsuits mind you!
Kale.
Getting my first board tomorrow evening, so excited! 😃
I like how i’ve been surfing for ever yet still like watching people set up their own board
@2:40 this made me ROTF...after three days asking friends and visiting every shop in driving distance, I bought the only set of fins I could find 😂 Love the vids, if you have options, be stoked 🏄🏼♂️
Just bought my first board and I'm so happy to find your videos!
I also put some drops of super glue when putting on a new tail pad.
It also fixes a floppy annoying tail pad!
Thanks! I wasn't sure how to best attach the leash to my board. It has a lot more free movement now.
Hi Kales I’m just beginner thank you for your advise wish you all the best my regards from Japan
thank you guys for all the videos! Really appriciate them! always good info & good vibes! moving from Sweden to Australia to chase my dream as a surfer, Thanks for helping me!
Great video, very well made
Cool tip if your pad does start flapping off after the first few surfs- Lift flap and heat the glue using a hair dryer. The heat activates the adhesive. It will never come off again.
Super informative! Thank you
An important distinction: you can’t really choose between FCS or Futures. Your board will (most of the time) come with one or the other.
Futures fins have more of a sturdy base and need a tool to install and remove. If you hit the fin hard on something, you may damage the fin box itself along with the board and fin.
FCS II can be installed and removed without tools. They have less base to them that interact with the fin box. If you hit the fin on something, it may just rip out or break at the tabs. As opposed to destroying the fin box and board.
Just depends what you want. Both are solid fins. Do you prefer a solid fin that’s harder to swap? Or a slightly more fragile fin that’s easy to replace and swap and move around.
Thank you so much your videos are awesome and helped me alot I have a fish board that you recommend in one of your videos and it's going really well THANK YOU
that was great because i just got a new board and didn't really know how to set it up, thank you!
In the past my tail pads would annoyingly get loose at some point.
But now when putting a brand new tail pad I reinforce it with super glue near the edges and corners (like 1 cm from the edge), and they simply last forever.
I have a fiend that sands his tail a little, just to roughen it up. I guess that’s works too. Superglue sounds easier though.
Hi Kale,
It was really informative and unlike many videos it was not boring at all. I enjoyed every moment. Just can you please tell me some of the retail shops that I can get good price and boards ? ( the one you went to buy for example)
Thank you
Your channel is awesome!
Thanks so much!
Great video, I’d recommend cleaning the deck with alcohol and drying it before sticking trac pads down. One never knows what greasy hands have touched the tail of the board.
So you reckon surfing in jeans and a shirt is best. Haven’t tried it personally but sounds like an epic idea😂 awesome vid, thanks for the tips.
Thank you for putting these informational videos out there!!!
I just learned to surf and am In the market for a high performance board? Any recommendations?
I know this is late but wanted to know
Thank you!!!!!
Thanks man, years a go I got the tip to use warm water (hard) wax as a bass coat and top up with medium on the day, works for me in Sydney
Kale: I prefer a more milld kicker on my tailpad
Also Kale: *puts on one of the highest most aggressive tailpad kickers I've seen* 😂😂😂
9:59 It's an Overhand Loop knot. Personally I like to loop the rope through the plug then tie it and keep the rope as short as possible. Less chance to lose leach rope if you take leach off.
I would say having the tail pad parts together would not make a big difference, as long as they are centered. Not at least for a beginner-intermediate surfer. What do you think @kales?
I agree. But, I always like my pad to be as far to each tail as possible.
great video!!
I wax the tail pad too, not sure if I’m the only one 😂
Hi Kale, great video again! Do have a some videos, where you focus "How to read coming waves". Where will be a peak? If the wave close out all wide long? It´s most difficult for right place for catching waves, I think.Thanks
Yes check the channel for my positioning video
I have super flat feet to I used a arched tail pad before and I got foot cramps
Kale I just discovered your channel a little ago. And love it! Thanks for that so nice approach and lots of great info! What brand or wax you consider is the best and why?
The one that the surf shop tells me is a good one haha 🤣🤣
@@HowtoRip or the one that smells the nicest! Sex wax is good by me, but the O+E stuff has a chemical/artificial smell to it...
I notice I get the least amount of rashes when I stick with Sticky Bumps. Sex Wax has the best smell in my opinion though. Maybe because that’s all my dad used when I was growing up.
When I did my tail pad I put 5 pound weights on the kick of the tail pad
channel island spine Tek or FireWire Slater designs boards are the best?
Great channel. I'd love to see some ding repair tips for epoxy and foam boards. The airlines keep screwing up my boards. Maybe board bag packing tips video would be nice too.
1: take it to a ding repair shop.
The end 🤣🤣 I always find I stuff up my boards trying to repair them
How to Rip I’m totally in for taking my boards to ding repair shops, but I’ve found myself in a few places that don’t have ding repair (IHawaii Big Island!!!) and had to do it myself... incredibly poorly.
what about an alternative to wax like the Van der Waal surf grip? Ever tried? I have just ordered the latest evolution, which is it said to be grippier as the first generation that I have. Can't wait to receive it.
Try alien traction pads
great video
keep it up guys
YES love the face slap cut scene!
The cheapest board I can find costs my whole savings as a 14 year old 😂
Look used
Maybe Craigslist can get u a good deal
@Adriana Perezz go to a local surf shop, they probably have used ones AND they are likely to sell it to you a little cheaper
Same lol
Facebook market. Know the brand and model you want do the homework.
How does the brown base maintain the stickyness after you take it off? 5cm how big is that 30mm? because it looks like you put it 30mm above the leash plug, maybe measure it? I need the facts.
Love all the instructional videos. Met Sally Fitzgibbons today.
No way! She seems like an awesome girl
Here's my question. I've never been one to use a traction pad. Always wax. I was watching a video on pop ups and the perfect place to stand on your board, and where you stood up your traction pad was actuallyThree or four inches behind your back foot. What is the true purpose of the traction pad? When is it used?
Adam b a traction pad is for the purpose of he tail being extremely gripy because your front foot should be able to move around but your back foot should always stay in place
@@thatguy5054 Thank you for the clarity. I always wax the crap out of the tail section to keep my back foot from slipping so much. I'm going to give a trac pad a shot and see if it helps. Thank you once again for your help!
@@The_Dirt_Merchant its good man. and i do recomend you try the traction pad you will be impressed by your results it does its job very well
Some people like the feel of traction pads, some don’t. I move both feet around when I surf. But I like having my foot as far back as possible when ripping and linking turns/maneuvers. My pad helps me know where my foot is. I’ll also drag my foot off of the traction pad when riding the barrel (sometimes), as this will help generate more speed.
My board is custom and that is how I put on my leash it’s helpful if your knott is to long for you
Hey, first of all I love all your videos dude : ) I was wondering where your home-break is in Sydney or your go to spots? I'll be coming from FL and visiting my sister in January and was just curious of some good spots. Thank you in advance!
Narrabeen area ;)
@@HowtoRip Sweet, thank you : ))
Double overhand knot.. I sail
If u had a hybrid 8’6” where would u place the pad? I feel like i’m (maybe incorrectly) riding with my feet on the front two thirds of the board - would love the traction pad but am afraid it might dictate placing my back foot in the wrong (or not where im comfortable) position.
You don't need a pad on a board that size
Always but the traction pad so that your back foot is directly over or slightly behind the back fin. It’s a pretty kooky move to put the traction pad further up. Even if that’s where you’ll mostly be riding the board. Traction pads are typically for ripping tight turns and maneuvers. You’ll need your foot as far back as possible to do tight turns.
For small waves can I go with the fish or will I have to break down and go with a longboard? The problem is is I gained 12 pounds and until I lose it I’m having trouble surfing when the waves are like waist high, thanks bro!
I find that liters of volume is generally more important then the shape. Search for a surfboard volume calculator online, once you have your recommended liters of volume you can shop by volume and not by shape. 🤙🤙 yewww
P.S. JS Industries has a good one on their site!
Lightly put wax on the base of your fins and their easy to put in and get out
Good tip!
Really helpful video. Thank you.
peace and love from israel.
Love back from Aus!
Awesome video! What are your thoughts on the traction pad vs wax?
Best,
B
Why not using an alternative to wax? Like the Van der Waal surf grip for example? I have on my surfboards and they stick well, and I don't have to worry anymore with melting wax or having sand on it. Worth a try
Nah... too much rash
damn you tapped those fins like its not even sharp LOL
thanks for the tips
Lol I’m almost positive majority of us slept with FRESHIES when we were groms
No fin key to tighten in fins? I haven’t seen that before.
FCS2 apparently
Wes Smith yer I’m running then in my new DHD board and they’re really helpful For travelling
Hey guys,
i need to buy a board and i want to do it online because i dont have any surfshop nearby! Do you have any online shop where a can buy a board around 500$? And if they ship in Mauritius it's perfect otherwise i'm going to see with them !
Thanks!
Im coming to Australia in a couple days where do you recommend I go surf
gold cost
epic Tejas *coast
Come up to Noosa
Ohhhhh yeaaaaah!... I mean I know all about needing to wax the top of my board for all the air reverses I do as well too mate... NOT!
FYI The knot on the leg rope is called a simple overhand knot...nothing fancy
Do another review on the raptor
What’s wrong with the first one?
That was Ryan's review of the board you may have a different view or experience ( or not )
Also could you make more reviews on Other JR surfboards I think a lot of people are keen to try their boards as they become more well known.
Yeah for sure. I love the board as well - it's probably the best one I've ever had because I feel really confident putting it on rail but also going to the air. And for some strange reason, it seems to enhance my backhand surfing like no other board I've ever had. In order for us to do more reviews on their boards we need some support from them as otherwise it gets too costly. :(
I will put it on the list to do a review of the raptor. (kale)
I’d love another review on the raptor...
Can you put a traction pad for a fish tape borad
What brand are those glasses
imma need to know where that shop is
yo so you not gonna show us testing the board?? im sad man cmon :(
what board should i have should be in the next video
FYI - it’s called a rail saver.
How much do you weigh surfing a 27 liter board
Whats the brand of his board guys??
What website do you buy your surf board from?
I speak with the team at JR on the phone :)
How to Rip thank you so much and you're videos are awesome
I put the leg rope in first
when you said Flordia I got mad because there are no waves in Florida
Hahaha
Is base coat wax necessary?
Ryan does it. I don't.
In warmer water I feel it helps. I use it if I have it.
Not me watching this knowing all too well I won’t need this video anytime soon 😪
Wax in tropical never stays on for me ive since moved to front and back traction pads anyone else like traction vs wax ?
Yes, no wax needed and it also gives some extra protection to dings on top of the board
Traction on the tail only! It’s a mental thing for me, because front traction works great. I just feel weird surfing with it. Like brushing my teeth with my left hand. I live in the tropics too, my wax melts off. Base-coat does help a little.
I'm 163cm. So Can you help me please? what size good me?
Depends on your weight and ability
I suggest buying surfboards based off of volume. Check out JS industries surfboard volume calculator. You can put in your information and it will suggest a surfboard volume. Shopping by volume is probably a lot easier if your getting started.🤙
Could someone put tail pads on a fish for a beginner?
Yes no problem but it looks a bit funny 😬
Mrs Cohen is
Which surfshop is it?
Onboard in Mona Vale Sydney
Why don't you doing choosing the new surf board ??
How much does it cost all of that man?
My tail pads always come off in the water after a while
Do a board giveaway (;
Love the videos, but a comb or brush would be your friend. :-)
Do you think you can give some of your old boards away?
I need help with waxing my boards i just cant get it right 😞
I’m not being a smartass but you just rub it on
FYI you can see your address in the background.
Haha
What surf shop is this?!?
F for the fins that hit the concrete :P
I like to surf in the Florida keys
If you are afraid of sharks I recommend sharkbandz they send out a frequency that keeps sharks away
Wait,don't go! You didnt waited couple hours before the tailpad got sticked properly!🤣
My board sleeps in my bed
I sleep in my board’s bed
Semi joke... Nice very office space esque
How tall are you
Super tall
@@HowtoRip no way bro. Dose it matter how tall one is while choosing a board or is it more important to concentrate on the ounces?
Bro u can see you address
Lots of big words
Lamest surf video ever.
