3:27 - That's exactly what happened to me last weekend. Was horrific and really knocked my confidence. Excellent explanation. Thanks.

Jose Valdez - 6 years ago

This tutorial is so descriptive and hits all those good points!! Thank you!

Joni Van Handenhoven - 6 years ago

Been searching for this kind of advice for 20min... Finally a great explanation thanks!!

ul3m8 - 6 years ago

This was really helpful to understand what you need to do and what I was doing wrong! Thank you so much for this! When i'm in Costa Rica, i'll visit you guys for sure.

Hailee Pong - 6 years ago

Excellent explanation

Joe surfer - 6 years ago

Please stop F king calling it nose diving man! You making the kooks even kookier

Joe surfer - 6 years ago

It's the energy in the wave that is pushing you. Low period waves are hard to catch for that reason. Gravity is very little of it. "Nose diving is called "pearling" and get on the sweet spot is called trim on your board. please teach the kooks the right terms.

I'm not even a surfer but we had a physics exercise on surfing and this video explained all the science perfectly! Really wish I could do the "practical" sometime. Great touch with the hair blowing out behind ...

Nathan A. Reid - 6 years ago

Thank you for the logical, mechanics-based explaination. You helped me solve so many simple problems. Sure beats "just stand up!"

PumaKero - 6 years ago

this just blew my mind. I just learned more from this video than I have in the past year

Jose Emmanuel Bueno - 6 years ago

You are awesome!

Emily Woollard - 6 years ago

This is so good, I am an intermediate and happy surfing the gentle waves, but being held back from steeper waves as I am doing exactly the opposite to what I should be doing. Can't wait to try this out, further forward, faster paddles and hands further back. I look across the wave and just above half way up it and slightly angle board so hopefully this will help. Thank you :)

Hitchens Thinksnot - 6 years ago

I surf with baby elephants on the front of my board. I've taught them to paddle, and we don't pearl anymore. The view is obstructed, and the board gets slippery too.

Astronaut Jones - 6 years ago

Well done & thank you.

Rob Manser - 6 years ago

Ok, so I've just learnt why this happens. If you don't paddle fast enough, the waves catches you up and lifts the tail, therefore sinks the nose.

Rob Manser - 6 years ago

The only guess I can make is that paddling lifts the nose up because of the angle you're applying force to the water - I guess that it's a downward force on average.

Kirill Kolesnikov - 6 years ago

This seems to be a good tutorial, haven't seen any people address nosedives in such a comprehensive manner in their take-off tutorials. I'm struggling to catch not very powerful green waves, I either nosedive or a wave just passes through. I'm going to put this info into practice.

Alon Bar David - 7 years ago

Thank you so much!!! I had a very scary nose dive today and your explanation just made so much sense ! Looking forward to implement it

David jonse - 7 years ago

i really want to make a subtitle for this video in Korean. Really Helpful Thanks!

Hello Ehya - 7 years ago

Really good video. I always try to avoid pearling and this video broke down what I should be doing differently. I can't wait to give this a go tomorrow morning when I paddle out!

Young H - 7 years ago

whats the name of the music you put at the end of the clip?

steef vendy - 7 years ago

This is brilliant! thanks mate!

John Egan - 7 years ago

i'll have to remember this next time I get a chance to surf as I'm just learning and one of my next goals is to stand up on an outside wave. Cheers, John ;)

Adam Noce - 7 years ago

Outstanding video. I have a long board and I catch waves consistently. However when the real big swells come in, by board has been disappearing in the water and then I'm stuck in the wash. Can't wait to get back out there.

Allison Antinucci - 7 years ago

best surf instruction videos I have found anywhere. Thank you for sharing the stoke : ) Hope to catch you guys in Costa Rica sometime.

Ryan Jeong - 7 years ago

I nosedive everytime :(

adviceologie - 7 years ago

This just makes sense, i've been part of a surf club for 4 summers now, and I still can't manage to catch a proper wave! This is just the best advice I've heard!
Thank you so much

Felix Xing - 7 years ago

Thanks, it helps me a lot. Do u have any fb group or fb page?

GwirCeth - 7 years ago

Simply brilliant. Thanks for explaining to me why I've been nosediving no matter how far back I get on the board.

TheEarlGreyHot - 7 years ago

Great video, thanks. Was having this exact problem last week and had no idea why.

Ryan Parker - 7 years ago

You my friend are an excellent teacher!
Thank you.

lolilujah - 7 years ago

I've been having problems surfing <8ft board for years, and I think this will solve my problem. I wasn't having issues with >8ft boards since they don't seem to be as affected by the superman pose. Can't wait to try out the right method!

Great video, it remainds you the basics perfectly!!

just passed this onto a buddy, I think out of the multitude of tutorials this is by far the best, I still watch it after a lay off or a dodgy session to keep the basics clear in my mind. Thanks man

spacemansabs - 8 years ago

any tips on learning to surf on really weak and mushy waves? it's all I've got, and even those rarely.

ňøțørìü - 8 years ago

fish board?

spacemansabs - 8 years ago

+doublestrokeroll hornbæk/gilleleje

doublestrokeroll - 8 years ago

+spacemansabs which break are you close too?

http://magicseaweed.com/Germany-Denmark-Surf-Forecast/10/

Yeah if the waves are like that all the time there's not much you can do except travel to better breaks.

But watch those surf reports. You never know when you might get a bigger swell come through.

spacemansabs - 8 years ago

+doublestrokeroll the issue is that they're not peeling waves, they sometimes don't even break or they are not breaking consistently in the same place. This is the issue with surfing in eastern Denmark.

doublestrokeroll - 8 years ago

+TheSkilledKiller no....if they're to weak they're to weak....

but that would have to be some very weak waves. A 9 or 10 foot board should get you into some pretty small surf.

I was out today on my 5'10 fish type board and it was a weak 2 foot wave. I managed to get a few decent ones. And I'm really not very good.

TheSkilledKiller - 8 years ago

+doublestrokeroll that's about it. Still can't do much.

doublestrokeroll - 8 years ago

I'm no expert by any means.....but long board.

TheSkilledKiller - 8 years ago

Can't do much in weak mushy waves. I actually found it harder to surf on small weak, smaller mushy waves.

pdvekar - 8 years ago

I want to thank you for the video. I've been surfing for the last 10 years. My only regret was not watching this video ten years ago. I almost gave up surfing as I couldn't nail the face of the wave. Thanks bro from down under. Australia

Stephen Leonard - 8 years ago

Can't wait to try out the advice from this tutorial. I'm getting pretty good at catching the white water but failing miserably on the green waves.

Amy Wheeler - 8 years ago

The best explanation I've ever heard! Brilliantly simple and easy to follow. Nice!

Ana Linda Godínez - 8 years ago

thank you SSSOOO MUUCCHH!! ♥♥♥

LongShot Jacob - 8 years ago

any way to avoid doing a nose dive? o nvm you explained it near towards the end of the video thx !

Matthew S - 8 years ago

I've been struggling with riding unbroken waves for the past few months (a lot of hanging out just past the break). After talking to surfers and watching countless videos (refused to pay for lessons in Waikiki) this video was hands down the best I've seen. Everything you explained about our instincts leading us astray in surfing is exactly what I've been doing wrong. This was the first video that I found which broke down exactly how to catch unbroken waves! Hopefully I can turn it into some rides!

Rad Max - 8 years ago

Amazing advice man

Bill Addison - 8 years ago

Wow, that was really well explained!

I've been having such a hard time getting picked up by waves... I either end up nose-diving or sliding off the back of them, and this helped me TREMENDOUSLY to understand what I've been doing wrong. You're awesome!

Clifford - 10 years ago

Phenomenal vid guys/gals. Have watched it a dozen times. Keep'em coming.

Richard Shapiro - 10 years ago

great tips, very useful thanks!
you talk about instincts being backwards for surfing, but it seems like what your talking about is defensive instincts. attacking instincts are exactly what you need in these situations. you talk about this in finding the X spot, you want to hunt the wave. in martial arts, it's a huge thing to understand the difference between your defensive and aggressive instincts, and be able to access your aggressive instincts, and from what you are saying, this is true in surfing as well.
again, thanks for the vids, good stuff

david bailie - 10 years ago

Really very clear and helpful. A lot of surf channel stuff is too relaxed and yea man whatever but this is straight forward bang on stuff

Mike Coulter - 10 years ago

Niko Salvador - 10 years ago

after surfing for so many years, it's nice to see an analytical technique of explaining principles of surfing!! Wish more instructors explain basic things like you do!

Jacky Black - 10 years ago

Brilliant! I’ve been petrified of water and would not go near it, until recently when I decided that before I turn 50 (yaiks) I HAD to learn to surf (yeah yeah, I know, normal people would learn to swim properly first) . So I paid NZ$50 for a group ‘lesson’ where the 17 year old ‘instructor’ said “there’s a board, see you later”. To my question :‘how do I get up?’ he said “any way you like”. Ofcourse I didn’t and felt quite ripped off. So then I decided to learn by watching others. Bought an 8ft board, asked every one I know and don’t know (yes, I’m desperate) to be my surf buddy and they all said “I’m scared of sharks”. Finally, last week my windsurf instructor (yes, learning that as well) took me straight out the back at Muriwai Beach New Zealand (he doesn’t muck about with white water) where I learnt how to get over big waves. If I didn’t have my wetsuit on I would have wet myself. Bruised certain bits when I came crashing down on the other side of the wave, but hey, I was still ON my board! Even managed to stand up a few times and nose dived on the bigger waves which scared me a bit. Thought I was too far forward on the board. After watching this it all makes sense! When I win Lotto I’ll be on the 1st plane to your surf school! And now….. I shall watch the rest of your videos. I might be a pro by the time I'm 80, haha!

Kevin Hall - 7 years ago

+Jacky Black That is awful. You were ripped off. In Oz, quite a lot of time is spent on the beach teaching (groups) basically where to lay, where to position hands to push up and swing your legs under on a "soft top" beginners board BEFORE even entering the water so you get a feel of the actual board.
Please NAME and SHAME so others can avoid them.

richard tofts - 9 years ago

me too! Same age..looking forward to this year. Took me a week to finally get on my feet and feel reasonably confident of catching more waves than I missed. It wasnt pretty, I'm sure, but sure felt good :-)

Jouni Varis - 10 years ago

Really good explanation. thanks!

Jeff Caulfield - 10 years ago

I'd be lost without you lads!! Cheers for the best lessons I've had!

yanapray - 10 years ago

Thank you for the share :)))

Adam Arscott - 10 years ago

Brilliant! The transition from riding white water to riding waves has been confusing and I have been looking for this exact explanation for some time now. Much appreciated!

Ryan Lawrence - 10 years ago

Thanks so much for your video. Watched it last night and got up 80% of the time this morning. After two months of trying I finally felt like I was surfing.

CALINLECHIEN - 10 years ago

Brilliant stuff, whole serial

CaptainSchlockler - 10 years ago

These videos are pure genius. All that it takes is one of these videos and you have just saved yourself 6 months of doing the same extremely basic mistake without progress. After watching these videos, and recalling what he has said while on a wave, it's almost like a feeling of enlightenment where you make a massive leap in technique just from correcting a very basic mistake which you have struggled with for months. Awesome instructor!

thats4anita - 11 years ago

Great explanations!! Thank you! This was answering a lot of questions.

Shon Shampain - 11 years ago

That was absolutely the best instructional video for surfing I've ever seen. Probably saved me countless dollars and hours in useless lesson. Thank you so much.

gali bar shalom - 11 years ago

You helped me a lot. Thanks (:

myntyd - 11 years ago

Just a lovely video that really cleared some things up for me.. I've also been reading about 'angle' and 'paddling for a wave diagonally towards the shoulder' but my english isn't that well so I don't understand what they mean by that. Can somebody explain?

Better than any TV presenter by a country mile! Well done!

Dave Stokes - 11 years ago

This helped me so much. Catch the hills, hands at the ribs, enjoy the ride. White board only helped the already simplistic yet powerful teaching. Also, great tips on paddling. Thank you so much!

Your Only Friend - 11 years ago

Hey... I was having a similar problem today.. watch the video again... at around 3 minutes he brilliantly begins explaining exactly what is happening to you and how to fix it.. (essentially you are too far back on the board. Though it is counterintuitive, move up on the board a few inches... )

Your Only Friend - 11 years ago

This is one of the best videos on youtube ever! So incredibly well explained. especially for something that somehow is so hard to explain. Very helpful... I got so beat up today putting myself too far back on the board and not getting enough speed. Now I can't wait to get back out there and give it a go. Thanks so much!

batesarch - 11 years ago

Great tutorial. Very helpful.

Joe Smith - 11 years ago

This is so true! Great job in pointing out our natural reflexes to stop us from falling forward and how that's counter intuitive.

Alexandre H - 11 years ago

Great video

sethticlees - 11 years ago

Genius! I had to watch this vid 4x before I fully understand now what all I've been doing wrong. Scary as hell dropping down the face of big waves. I panic hard and if by some miracle do make it to my feet the speeds that incur are way too much (like I'm falling in place) I loose my balance and wipeout in spectacular fashion. Thanks for this awesome explanation! I'm now armed and ready to conquer some bigger waves.. D-OH here i come >:-]

Martyn Tozer - 11 years ago

Some great tips, I know where I've been making mistakes + bigger Chicken wings for me now :)

Shawn B - 11 years ago

Yesterday I ate shit repeatedly on steep faces. Found this vid last night. Today I ate shit significantly less. Hand placement made a world of difference! Also more successful bottom turns thanks to carving v trimming vid and keeping hands over their respective rails sorted out some balance issues. Really appreciate these vids. Cheers!

verdeherbs - 11 years ago

super stoked on this lesson! I can surf pretty well on mellow waves, but when they start to get fast and pitchy it gets really difficult for me. I think these tips will help me out next time the waves get steep. Thanks!

Koenraad de Haas - 12 years ago

Marie-Eve Plamondon - 12 years ago

Great explanations! Thanks! I'll follow your instructions (well, try) shortly on vacations!

Awesome explanation. It all makes sense now. Thank you for this awesome tutorial/ mini class.

Ha, You spelt speed wrong to start with. But still an awesome video. I watched it a few months back and it's taken me ages to find it again!

nosequiters - 12 years ago

Brilliant doesn't make dumping 7ft waves any less scary but tells me what I've been doing wrong all this time, could we have a pop-up and balance tips as well
