I’ve been watching your videos over and over again. My Mum said she’s gonna buy me a surf board for my birthday. I’m pumped! Thanks, your videos help way more than you know.
@tatirobbins that's great your getting into surfing,I've been surfing for 30 plus years. Your board selection is going to be super important, if your a beginner the long board is going to be the easiest to learn on, although I didn't go that route, if you only want to shortbread, then get a board with little rocker for smaller waves. The more rockeryour board has, the slower you go. Good luck !! Ps, learn surfer etiquette so you know what's right and what's wrong while your surfing around others,
Great vid. I loved the pov stuff with explanations! Can you do a vid where you go more in depth on getting past those white water sections to get back in the pocket? Like at 6:35?
I like this style of breakdown alot..those waves are quite nice, tho not perfectly peeling do offer nice sections and probably would be considered one of the better north east UK days..can you do one on smaller mushyer waves.
This helped sooo much and know I am a fair bit better, obviously with practise I would get better but this helped be stay longer standing up on the board. Thank you so much for the tips 🙏
Another video request: How about positioning to catch shore breaks? It sucks chasing them all over the beach when they don't break in a consistent location.
Can you make a video on initiating maneuvers or carves on small waves for beginners. I can get up on a wave going down the line but I can’t maneuver/carve without messing my ride up.
I'm riding a 5'2 Seaside. In smaller waves I prefer higher volume fish / hybrid boards. Longboards certainly are a great choice also, it jus depends on how you want to surf
Hey loved the tips!! I’m starting to perform turns so will definitely try in my next sesh! But when you say you use a high volume fish in small waves, aren’t you surfing the seaside 5’2 which is 26L? Meaning the volume you usually ride regardless?
Thanks Mateo, good luck with it. Let me know how you go...For the beginner to intermediate a higher volume Seaside could be a better choice. For more advanced surfers, a fish / hybrid with lower volume can still provide the benefits of a fish in small waves, but increased performance. Does that make sense?
@@TheSurfersJourney riiiight makes sense! Also i found it curious, you know Gabriel Medina right? He’s 180cm and 77kg yet he rides a 28-29L boards across his range and he is a professional. Do you reckon there is a reason why he doesn’t surf a 26L for example considering his weight and ability? Yet so many intermediate surfers ride lower volumes for their weight?
Potentially if you are looking at surfing it at a mid level to high level intermediate...If you are transitioning from your beginner board to this, I think extra volume is good. Why do you think it is oversized?
@@TheSurfersJourney I'd say I'm somewhere in the intermediate spectrum. Have been surfing for a few years and go out everyday if the waves allow it. It feels oversized by the fact it sits really high and becomes quite skittish in faster waves. I have the 6' version which is almost 45L and has 3" thick rails, so it's a bit of a beast. My normal short board is about 39L (I'm 6'5, 210lbs). Also it feels like the buoyancy at the front is pushing me back off the wave unless I am suuuuuper nose heavy and then way off the tail where you want to be for turns. So it's a constant shuffle. The guy at the shop said he ended up trying 3 different times to get the right size (dropping down sizes) and finally got it. I may just need to adjust my surfing, but if dropping down a size helps then it's an easy solution....
