Beginner Surfers | FIX YOUR MISTAKES | How To Surf 

Hey guys Ryan here, check out my new version here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_ImGueVdAaM.html

Alright well I’m off to nazare now ✌🏼

you remind me of the surfing guy interview: “yknow you just get out there and *WAPOW* you dive in and *RAAAAAGHHRRR*”

I used to be a very good surfer, but had knee surgery and gave up on trying to stick it. I watched your videos and went out for another shot. Finally! I can catch waves again. Thank you guys for refreshing the basics for me!

I surfed all the time as a teenager but life and it's obligations take a lot of us away from our passions and getting back into it has been difficult. You showed me a couple of things I have been doing wrong like not lifting my chest up when taking off. Have been taking off push up style and that does not work at all!!!:))) Thanks.

Hi from New Zealand , I just had a few days in Dunedin surfing it was great , my friend teaches surfing , I'm a beginner and this video helps, thanks

By far one of the best beginner vids- I'm going to come back to this a lot!

Feet hanging off the board works well for shortboards but I could see where somebody new is hanging off the back off a 10'2 wondering why the waves keep passing.

Lifting up the chest as far up as you can for a split second, before jumping on the board makes all the difference in the world of ‘pop up’😀🎸 Thanks Ryan🏄🏻‍♂️❤️

Good explanation of critical steps that will help an old guy remember, get back into surfing, and make Chicama a success.

These videos are great. Focusing on good technique is a foundation for continued growth and improvement Plenty for me to work on!

Great teaching. Thank you!

THank you for this. As soon as you demonstrated raising your chest I puased the video and tried it on the floor. What a difference. I can't wait to try it on the water.

Man, I'm traveling to AUS and hopefully I'll learn how to surf (: Thanks for the video!

Just looking to transition from a mid length to a fish and found this short recap of key basics including pointing out that feet hangover really useful. Going to try them out this week and see how I get on! Agree with some of the comments on the length of swim strokes etc but I think there is room for personal preference here. Thanks for putting this together.

Very good video with nice clear instructions but there is one problem. A lot of beginner surfers are starting on longboards with soft tops. This makes the position you have to take a bit different and your stance a bit wider than on a shortboard. It is also way harder to catch a green wave if youre not forward enough on your longboard if you’re pretty lightweight like me. But other than that this video was perfect

Hola from Lima, Perú. A well designed and presented video. Great job.

Awesome tips! These are going to help heaps!

Your back foot better get back to the pad if you want to turn tho

Yesterday i’m start to get surf in my hometown nusa dua with my friends, he help me to learn how become a good surfer 😁👍🏼🌊🏄🤙🏼it’s really fun although im too old to try this. And your video help me to fix my mistake as a beginner surfers 😁🙏🏼 thanks

I make endless mistakes popping up, hands in the wrong position, getting on my knees. It’s not as easy as it looks to get it all right. Thanks for the video.

Cheers mate! Great video, always trying to learn

Amazing and very clear pop-up demonstration.

It’s been proven that holding your fingers slightly apart (not cupped) is more efficient and advising new surfers to paddle with long strokes is absolutely against what they should be doing. This causes them to reach and with that reach, they fail to arch their backs and use their lats - this burns out the shoulder muscles which are a lot smaller, weaker and are easily injured.

nice helpful vid! just would like to add.... this is applicable for short boards, not quite the thing for a long board...

The most important thing to me is the pop-up. A bad pop-up is a bad habit and really hard to break once you actually learn to surf. I drag my knee. I've learned how to adjust, but every second counts when dropping into a steep fast wave. One second extra with a pop-up.... you just missed the wave and in the white water. Master a quick pop-up and you will be golden. Bad habits will label you as a kook forever even if you learn to surf. It's ugly. It's really helpful to at least learn on a long board. Thanks for the video.

Thank's for those amazing tips!🥰

Thank you for this great video ! Simple and smart …from France .

this is an instant pop up, ive been struggling to use this technique thought ive been surfing over a year. i dont think it is for an adult beginner surfer

Very helpful I'm now learning and this information will help a lot🖒

Brilliant video!

Thank you . Will try all this

thanks Man ! really great inputs

Great video! I have to say that I see a lot of people missing the wave because they don’t take the extra two paddle strokes, that’s another important mistake to fix.

great video for surf beginner

Amazing!

Nice video helped me a lot

Cool Thankyou for those tips Just what I needed to fine tune and improve my chances if catching waves on my short mal board Thanks a mil Cool Appreciate your vids Straightforward and easily understood

I really appreciate you guys thank u!!

Me: *lives no where near a beach* Also me: *watches 60 videos on how to surf*

Very good instructions.

Really like that suggestion to raise chest just before pop up. Not sure if I've seen that anywhere else before.

fantastic x1000

Good advice. Thanx

Currently taking surfing lessons in Venice, Ca. As far as standing up, I’m being taught to place my right knee on the board first, then bring my left knee into the center of my chest and board and then rotate into position while standing up. Im able to do that in one fluid motion but I feel like it slows me down a bit. Imma give your standup a shot. I know I’m in shape to do so and I’m sure I’ll eat sand a few times before I get the hang of it, but we’ve all been there I’m sure. Thanks for the great info my dude. Cheers from Los Angeles.

Nice video thanks!

Cheers I’m ready for Mavericks

Thankss 🤩🤩👊✌️🙏🏻

Thanks for this video! will try to practice this

I am watching this after some months and I can reflect how I improved thanks to this video

Think ill hit pipe with my wavestorm this weekend thanks mate!

Good awesomeness cool

Very useful vid

Good content! Blessings from Costa Rica ✌🏻

I love it from philippines

Thanks now I know!

I was sooooo close to be able to surf pipe line before quarantine, now that the beaches are open again I feel like I’m starting at square one. Thanks for the good video tho!

Thank you thank you this video was helpful I think I was trying to take off from a prone position now I'll practice raising my chest who knows I might win the old time as longboard tournament this afternoon LOL

I had a habit of dragging my legs. I don’t know why but I remember a good surfer saying lift your legs up. Amazing how much easier it was to cut through the water.

Thank you so much!!!

Thanks man yeww

👏

Thanks I just got off a long board and I’ve gone to a fish 5,6 this really helped he with my feat on such a small board

I'm working so hard...'please let me me be a decent surfer someday soon' is what I think every time I get out on the waves. 😂

Great video for beginners, I know it's been two years already, but my 2 cents to improve here is to lower down a bit the music (especially at ~3:20), it makes difficult to hear you. Btw, great lesson, love your channel!

00:45 perfect- balanced spot.,.134 freestyle long hard strokes,. .. 1:59 paddle for longer and harder than you think you should to catch more waves

Yo Guys love your videos they help me out a lot! I have a question, have you guys ever watched Blue Water High?

Good lessons

Thanks for all these videos. They have inspired me to get a board because I have been bodi boarding for 4 years but I don’t know what surf board to get if anyone could help please do. 😀👍

👍🤙🤙🏄

Most helpful video I’ve watched, thank you 👏🏻

Okay I'm ready for pipe line now

Stay psyched and stay safe everyone!!🤙🏼🤙🏼 God bless🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thanks for advising me. I really would like to find out which camere you guys use for your filming and which model you guys use.? I look forward hearing from you.

Be careful don't broken my board lol good vedio bro take offfff 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🌊

Hey Chris, you mention having your feet just hang off the board; however, I am 5'7 and ride a 5'2. Any suggestions on positioning? Thanks!

Because of you I might try surfing! Thanks bro! Also I like snow boarding. What kind of board do you have? If I’m going to get a surfboard I don’t want to spend a lot of money but I don’t want a poorly made one either......

really a great video. hope the microphone is better.

Look at Jerry Lopez. He stands up straight at times and just rides.

classes with a kook !!

if your going to mention paddling i think a keynote is when to start.... i see so many people lay on board still then they stat paddle as the wave is picking them up then i wachem get 2 or 3 strokes before i see them go up and through the back wave missed and blame the wave has no power..... the ones that are receptive to advice i tell them if they haven't made at least 7 strokes they started to late.....

I reallyyyyyy want to learn how to surf I’m really motivated now ! I will start soon i hope

I love surfing. I have been doing when I was 8 years old. And now I am 12 years old. I'm sorry that is not so good surfing place in Sweden. But I'm trying to find a place in Sweden. 😧😦😥

Love your videos guys! Still don't understand, when wave pushes me, the nose of the board goes down. even tho im at the very edge. May be I should stand up earlier. thank you for videos!

Im actually a beginner too, I recently before this pandemic took a lesson. The instructor showed me how to popup. And so I did the same. He did it on an upsloap.i did it on a down slope, which was harder. But I did it twice. After an hour of water skills. We left each other. In his assessment, I was intermediate to advance. I could popup, but I had difficulty popping up during practice on the water. Paddling it was fine, givin the fact I watch surfing just about everyday. In your opinion was he wrong for taking me out to the back end/ bigger waves? After 30 minutes of killing myself I managed to popup 1 time. He said I was doing everything right, looking back at the wave before take off, everything. I just needed a coach. Someone to teach me. My worst fear before I made the opponentment was sharks. During the session I could only think of popping up. I am 6'8" tall. We went out to 6 foot deep

My question is that in your opinion which is the best action camcorder for surfing. As there are lots of specially designed surfing cameras i would like to hear your opinion which one to pick and choose the best one out. There is this Sony AS200V Cam. GoPros off course, Sony RX0 II , Ricoh WG-50 . And SeaLife DC2000 . These are some really good models out there in the market. Please have a look at them abd advise me accordingly which one you think is the best. I understand that you may not have a fixed opinion on this matter but, whatever advise you give me i will pay heed to it.

Can you explain the mechanics and why it works to pop up like that and had a better rotate to hips?

Good pointers except the paddling. To get max speed you have to paddle with shorter stroke. The last 25% of the stroke has minimal power. There is a good video that analyzes why Kelly Slater swims faster than other surfers. Probably the most import topic is not discussed. Slipping off the board. The wax or pads are super important. If your feet slip off the board ask your local shop tips to make your feet stick better.

Hi there, my board is 8'1, where should I hang my feet and roughly what tips should I consider? Thanks!

this video so amazing bra,actually at small waves i got it, but i want to know how to take off the waves 2feet- or more? bcause i always fall down like in the washing machine... 😂

thank you bear grills

Can you tell me please the volume and the size of this surfboard I really wanna know ,I found a lot of problems with my size 😅😅

Where should you hold your weight? Is it dead center split between both legs, or should one leg hold majority?

Is the raising the chest bit also to prevent nosediving?

I have been shortboarding for a few years...im 6'4 and when i popup my back foot,im natural,lands in front of the tailpad instead of on the pad...this makes turns difficult...i can move my foot back onto the pad after pop up but its difficult...would be nice to pupup with my foot on the tailpad...any ideas?

What type of board is used in this video?

I’m looking to get a shortboard. I’m 5 10 and 170lbs living in NJ what’s the proper board size?

Right here on the surfboard is just right. In front of the kick pad I put on the board specifically for my back foot. Proper stance, my back foot should be in front of the thing meant for my back foot. Not on it.

Are you pushing off the sand when you jump up? Any advice for how to jump up off your knees?

what board is this in the video?
