Nellie Karr - 11 years ago

so your saying if your a lefty your goofy??? nice to know

imAwqard - 11 years ago

Yeah "fall off backwards into the wave" so your surfboard smashes into the front of the person jumping over the waves. FFS This happens all the time, noobs -_- Also do not cut surfers up and crowd their territory

james palomino - 11 years ago

If you're not surfing with a fiberglass board, you'll want a rashguard to prevent rashes. You'll need a wetsuit if the water is cold

justin mcclain - 11 years ago

Wtf you don't really need a wet suit I just surf with my board shorts

double J - 11 years ago

..awww man I don't have a surfboard....(sarcasim)

1talenteddancer101 - 11 years ago

lol

acabraham32 - 11 years ago

If you are riding a foam board, there is no need to, but if you are riding a real surfboard, then yes, you would need to put wax on it.

SirRob7 - 11 years ago

just get in the bloody water and youll love it! oh and try and watch some better videos than this one first cause this is just cheesy and not that helpful. You can rent boards and wetsuits (which youll need if your here in the uk) at any beach that is known for surf, if your unsure just do a google search. You should be fine, just keep a low centre of gravity till you get a feel for the board which shouldnt take long if your a flyer. awesome, have fun

2011October14 - 11 years ago

FourthGlint - 12 years ago

Are the wetsuits needed? Or are they like guards on a board, just recomended? As if can i wear boardies and a shirt?

Doggo Love - 12 years ago

SanFranciscoBay - 12 years ago

Nice video. You could always include to try to surf with somebody else, or tell others in the lineup that you are alone and to keep an eye on you.

Hououin Kyouma - 12 years ago

@Waavelvl0 someone's to impoverished with surfing.BTW u do know the leash is invade of something bad

Alexis Anderson - 12 years ago

those are small but decent waves:) i wanna go their!!

Cyan Shogun - 12 years ago

I guess this is good for people who have never even heard of surfing before, but this almost way too simplistic. There also some false facts, like requiring a wetsuit or leash. The waves you were surfing on were too easy, even for a beginner; they were like those annoying little ankle-biter waves you see on bad days. Also, it seemed like you really had no grasp on real surfing or the logistics of it; almost like you were reading this out of a textbook. That's my two cents, anyway.

Chevapasaurus - 12 years ago

Four days ago, I watched this video. I followed the instructions, and it actually worked, I caught and successfully surfed the first wave I attempted - YouTube taught me how to surf!

Chevapasaurus - 12 years ago

Now teach us to do flips and shit!!

natetechrock - 12 years ago

step 6: make sure you're at a beach with the least amount of women so you don't embarrass yourself when you wipe out
