I’m still considered a beginner and I don’t do any of this. These are people who don’t know anything about surfing but want to learn, don’t call them kooks or be rude, they are new.
“Signs of a beginner surfer: they do things wrong” you’ve been a beginner not only at surfing, but other things in life too. We don’t go into things as experts.
So what if they are new, and I have been surfing for 6 years and I still use the colored sun screen, I don’t understand stand why protecting your self from sunburn means you are new
Ok so I was at the beach a few months ago and I had just gotten out of the water I was taking of my wetsuit and this dude walks by with his wet suit and fin backwards and I couldn’t help but burst into laughter 😂
Ah yes, telling people not to put their wetsuit on backwards, fins on backwards, and not to drop in on people is very judgemental and not at all helpful.
The surf etiquette part depends on which beach you’re surfing at. For example I’m still a beginner and I go to a certain beach that has lots of beginner surfers where instructors can teach without having to be bothered by the surf etiquette.
Bass ackwards in wetsuit. Make sure dude is surfing in Long Beach. Where breakwater stops virtually every swell except a SSEast swell. Which will occur this winter. Great post.
Alright I’ll just let my ginger ass nose fall off from skin cancer at the ripe old age of 28 cuz some dude doesn’t like the fact that people wear coloured sunscreen on their face👌👌👌
Saw this dude walking at Scripps pier with his camera guy once lol. What a kook. 5 signs you’re a TikTok surfer, #1 you walk like you think everyone is watching you…
go with friends, using a foamy is usually what you start with. its nice to have friends to go with you that know what theyre doing so they can help you. its easy to get discouraged but just keep pushing yourself. i went on days that were even big waves for my friends and i couldnt keep up with them. in the beginning youll be slow and itll be hard to paddle all the way out there but overtime your shoulders will get stronger and youll get the hang of it 🤙
@leila9424 also learn how to duck dive or turtle dive so you can get thru the waves easier. i recomend watching surf videos too. anywhere from tutorials to professional surfing
Start with small waves, mostly whitewater before u move on to the bigger stuff. I recoment starting with a bigger board and doing some ballence exersises or even skate boarding. Hope this helps
All you people saying he's shaming, he's not. He's teaching. Stop being offended for a hypothetical beginner and take notes so you don't make the same mistakes
these comments are laughable. pointing out rookie mistakes and shaming someone for being a beginner are not the same thing. i’m a beginner and had i not learnt these things from a surfer, i’d still be out there making these mistakes. lighten up everyone.
I been bodyboarding Los Angeles County for 2 years and surfers are naturally just jerks 😂. So I drop in on them all the time on my boog and laugh , i snaked these two tourists from Mexico in February this year , they were all winter geared out and had brand new gear worth thousands , here I am in my spring suit and a 60$ boog and snake both of them and just jog off back to my tent and laugh with my girl. Needless to say. I bought a 10$ long board from some rich kid in LB , he blessed me for real , it’s beat the shi but I’m going to become a great king boarder and make little cry hard surfer lads mad 😂😂😂
Arrête d'être méprisant mec ! Je crois que t'as pas une âme de surfeur et qu'à l'inverse de beaucoup de débutants tu n'as rien compris au surf et à sa philosophie.
Why is everyone such a baby about it? New surfers put people in danger. They’re oblivious to their surroundings. They don’t support local board builders. They leave trash on the beach, etc etc etc. localism is great when you’re on the good end of it. My local beach is ALWAYS clean and uncrowded, and people can take their kids out there without a beginner running them over and getting all pissy when someone tries to hold them accountable.
What annoying voice dude.. reminds me one of my teachers from high-school miss Dorothy hahahah..okay everyone pay attention what are the six ways ...hahahhaha
