as a person who has never surfed before, but always dreamed of it, i always got sad when i saw surfers covering their beautiful board with wax, knowing it was necessary. Its just sad to see the artwork and the colors getting covered up

The guy that is coaching you is very good. Probably the most important part of learning to surf. I’d like to learn from him. Where are you surfing?

And you talk like shit asshole. We can do that. Throw pointless, fucked up, time wasting, meaningless crap at each other as a way to cushion our tender egos from the beatings they recieve when aired out here. Or we could use more appropriate language, or better still, shutting up and listening more we might even learn something.
Here, look, for your benefit I'll rephrase my comment so as to perhaps not invoke such negativity from the depths of your wretched soul and the filth filtering bag of skin that houses it.

Thanks man!! Have been surfing occasionally for a few years but this summer (NZ) I've been going out every other day and really wanting to improve. I've been struggling with breaking the muscle memory habit of using my knees. Watched your video twice last night, went out today and I'm instantly a better surfer!!! Your video was better than all the other tutorials I've watched because I got to learn from your mistakes XD which highlighted so many tips that other videos miss. Cheers!

the only way to learn to surf properly is having it in your blood and living in the water.
But I gotta say, this teacher is pretty good at saying the right things. Good work guys.

I went out surfing today for the first time with no instruction
I'm pretty sure I did EVERYthing wrong in this video lol
was such a blast though, I was able to stand on a wave three times, SO going back out tomorrow : )
Que Dableyou
Que Dableyou - 6 years ago
I've been out a bunch of times now, if you just lie on the board, the waves will take you to shore
I always go alone but only surf where I can see other surfers, I live in California so there's always people
It is SO much fun, I always come out feeling completely relaxed and happy the whole day, try it!

Mistake #2 instruction has fixed my pop-up by not moving my back foot while doing the pop-up into my stance for the drop. Mistake #5 has corrected my reentry so my front foot doesn't come off the board after smacking the lip. Thanks Guys!

First and biggest mistake is your board choice.

If you practice with the righ board it'll be easier, you'll learn more and you'll be more motivated and happy, your progression will be much better

So I’m a 54kg female at 160cms tall (or short). What would be the longest mini mal or mini sims that I could learn to duckdive & move up as a beginner surfer? I can pop up on a 7” fish funboard most times & find the foamies too limiting. Any advice?

Tony MacSwayne I started with a fibreglass and took a long time to learn on it but now I got the hang of it and having fun!
Tony MacSwayne
Tony MacSwayne - 6 years ago
Jules canidoit exactly. You're exactly right. Practice, have fun, enjoy the journey and enjoy the ocean. The point I was making is that to progress to performance surfing (which this guy is trying to do) get the basics first on a bigger board because you'll have more fun in my opinion. But again that's my opinion.
Jules canidoit
Jules canidoit - 6 years ago
Heres a trick. Get what ever board u like and practice practice and practice and if u feel like yr going nowhere yr doing something right cause yr not giving up. Eventually u work out shit and then u drive home and say to yr self fuck i stood up . You dont give up. Practice practice and enjoy the journey.

Tony MacSwayne yeah totally agree, or they learnt as kids, which isn't fair cos kids can learn anything easily haha.
This video was good actually, I have not surfed for over a year after 6 months of learning, and am now going to be moving back, so I thought it would be good to make sure I don't make any silly mistakes when I do.

Stomp It Tutorials I made this mistake and spent alot of sessions frustrated. Some people will argue and say 'i learnt on a shortboard, just stick with it rah rah rah' but those people have lived by a surf break their whole lives.
Tony MacSwayne
Tony MacSwayne - 7 years ago
Travis Tran go for a mid length board around 7 foot but with a round nose. You'll be able to duckdive it when the waves get big and won't struggle to get to the line up, and when u stand up it'll be forgiving and you'll learn alot lot faster https://www.zumajay.co.uk/nsp-7-2-fun-board-minimal-surfboard?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-I6GiYDf1gIVzpPtCh0D2QM5EAQYBiABEgIlAPD_BwE
