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!

C how small da waves are and 15 yrs and still on a foam board WTF!!
DIYCentral
DIYCentral - 7 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

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 .

@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.
