rj reed - 6 years ago

Thank you. I am trying to teach myself how to surf on an 11 1/2 SUP and need all the help I can get.

Vlad Nykolyshyn - 6 years ago

It's great that you talk about the absolute fundamentals, even though they may seem obvious or are quite basic they surely are a necessity! I appreciate that you made this video mate. Mahalo!

David Sharphead - 7 years ago

Thank you for making this.

i feel pretty comfortable in big waves, because I am short but have a lot of muscle strength so the wave pickse up after 2-3 strokes

kiara A - 7 years ago

longliferiderTM does being short give you an advantage or something ?

Abbie Dusciuc - 8 years ago

I realize yoga (chaturanga) & planking all the time to build my upper body strength will serve me well when I want o learn to surf! (:

Illuminati - 7 years ago

Abbie Dusciuc but you want to learn because you're here

Daniel Martinez - 8 years ago

Nathan Boone - 8 years ago

I already skate. Would that help my balance?

MisterSquirtle Gaming and Tutorials - 8 years ago

Most likely. I skate and it helped with my balence while surfing, so yes, most likely it will.

YOU SHOULD NOT DO STATIC STRETCHES AS A MEANS TO "WARM UP"!!!!! WHAT IS THIS--SOME 1980s WORKOUT??? ABSOLUTELY WRONG! GET YOUR BASIC PHYSICAL SCIENCE UP TO DATE BRO.

Ryan Connor - 9 years ago

This is going to help ha a lot. Thankyou!!!!

Christiaan Hart Nibbrig - 9 years ago

I like this guy and his style of providing basic surfing tips. He's talking to day-one surfers and I think does a good job.

"Whether you peed in it or not.." guilty look

Ayla Dacombe - 10 years ago

C how small da waves are and 15 yrs and still on a foam board WTF!!

DIYCentral - 6 years ago

Ayla Dacombe he's trying to make it more realistic as if it were a beginner on the board because if he started off with fibre glass boards and fancy equipment the viewer would feel those were prerequisites and get something that wouldn't suit their ability level. And also he wouldn't ride waves like he was in the surf break of mundaka, lmao

Charlie Ward - 10 years ago

nice video, you seemed a bit awkward talking tho, not that i could do better, just constructive criticism

I think there's alot of pauses in your explanation. Rehearsing it beforehand would do wonders.

David Jenkins - 10 years ago

Adam Sencak - 11 years ago

Sophie Brock - 7 years ago

Adam Sencak Cos this is for learners to learn...

panna - 11 years ago

Haha guys, what are you teasing him for?

Joshuabrutl - 11 years ago

What i hate about ehow is they post 25 vids on one topic and separate them into 25 videos so i have spend a total of 3-5 extra minutes of loading and buffering time to watch a video they should just combine into one

Jason Smale - 11 years ago

He has dyslexia you twat.

Mahmoud EL-sheikh - 11 years ago

apebrain07 - 11 years ago

Start off by staying away from all the assholes who don't want you around in 'their' lineup. Your ears will burn until you get some skill & some respect so grow a thick skin & have fun. And yeah I think it is a good idea also, like somebody else mentioned, to body board for a while to get comfortable in the environment .

Matthew Gillenberg - 12 years ago

Best advise I can give is to body surf for at least six months before attempting to ride a surfboard.

SurfingwithBen - 12 years ago

You've been surfing for 15 years??? Hahaha what happened at 1:14 and why are you riding a foam board??

David Lehman - 12 years ago

That was him "waiting for the next wave." Not a failed ride.

itspakistam - 13 years ago

@PerseusXT i just ranted it was a "Bic" board xD a floating one so its very easy

Sam DaBam - 13 years ago

is it easier if am a skateboarder ?

Kean Ermitaño - 13 years ago

@maxflipper27 probably you'll pick it up quickly as long as you've been from a previous board sport. I was thinking the same too if I could learn how to surf quickly when coming from a skateboarding, longboarding sports.

maxflipper27 - 13 years ago

hey i just moved to calabasas california and i used to snowboard a lot. is surfing a popular thing among 14 year olds and will i pick it up fast because i snowboard?
