HUGE Beginner Surfing Mistakes & How To Fix Them

When you start surfing, you begin a lifelong journey of self-improvement and chasing that intangible (& non-existent) goal of perfecting your abilities. During the Beginner stages there are traps which a lot of beginner surfers fall into. These traps, errors in technique which often become habitual, restrict a surfer's potential growth and progression in the sport. In this video I talk about 4 of the most common beginner mistakes that I see holding surfers back. There are more, of course, however these ones have been showing up a lot lately when I observe others out in the line up.

Last time I checked, at least it worked for me making HUGE mistakes is how BEGINNERS learn. Not everyone starts off as a Pro like some of you think you do.

Thanks Kale for putting in the effort to teach this fantastic sport. You are very kind and patient person and your enthusiasm shines through your videos. I just wished there was bit less aggro and territorialism out there amongst some surfers. You can't own the ocean no matter how entitled you think you are to it.

try to get a proper mic with windscreen because you film your footages near the sea quite often, it's gonna make your video even better.

I'm facing a problem to choose the right board for me. How to decide? Could you make a video on how picking the right board would affect your surfing. Which board are best for which wave

Anything about proper body posture? Foot placement, hip direction, and shoulders relative to each other while standing. Also are movements?

Watching videos won’t help you. Listening to these clowns won’t help. Practice, practice, practice. And stay out of other peoples way.
Frankie D
Frankie D - 5 years ago
+Indo Surfer I do watch these videos, at home, and I practice every week during my days off work. Of course practice and reading waves are fundamental keys but I've got an extra boost of helpful informations in my mind by watching them.
Indo Surfer
Indo Surfer - 5 years ago
How to Rip cause they are confused about how to improve. Watching a screen, in a house, isn’t actually doing it, now is it?
Reading the waves is more important than watching TV.

Indo Surfer, I've learnt a lot since I discovered those clowns so I think you are totally wrong.

Also to all you beginners remember to learn surf etiquette and respect to those who came before you and you should have no problems out in the lineup.
David Tomar

I like the idea of trying to help beginners with your videos. I started when I was 5 and at the end of the day all you can do is get out there as much as possible and watch closely the guys that are good. That’s what I did an eventually I was as good as most guys out there. Starting young was a big advantage

Can you do a video on pumping down the line of a wave to generate speed...i just cant seem to get the rhythm right...i see arms moving up and down with leg movements but cant figure out this technique
Albino Chewie
Albino Chewie - 6 years ago
Ryan The Rock however “tic-tacing” looks quite ugly and is ineffective. You’ll want to be moving up and down the top third of the wave. Side to side pumping is a bad habit. Keep your arms relatively still and not too high
Paul F

​+Ryan The Rock Yes, sometimes like tic tac but look at videos of the "Carver" skateboard.
Ryan The Rock
Ryan The Rock - 6 years ago
+Paul F Are you referring to the side to side tic tac to move forward?is this the same principle as i can do that

get a skateboard - this will fix your issue quite quickly

The only thing that works is spending hours and hours everday out in the lineup. Middle break white wash reforms are great at the Huntington Beach pier. You start off on white wash and get up slowly on your knese to your feet. Hop into shorebreak and ride left or right!! Thats how you really learn to become great! I should know , spent my life out there and one of the best!!

Dale Gribble but you want to have a good basic understanding on popping up and stuff like and I’m not saying develop your own style I have created my own style but your basics need to kinda be around the same as most people

Great tips! I'm practicing my stance on a home made balance board. I feel like it improved my surfing. Is good for train those foot skills.
But the first was the most important. You cant do anything if you don't read the wave properly.

Pay attention to the wave and your body when you ride it. Don’t think about it too much and you’ll be flying through sections in no time.

My one request is that you make videos using longboards (8 foot or so), because thats generally what we (begginers/intermediates) are trying to learn with.

That blue board looks like a 7-something fun board. Pretty much the same as a mid-length longboard.
