For real, I cannot understate how helpful your videos they are. The only thing I think that could help more is a POV video with a mouth GoPro. I mean when I watch these it’s like I have a personal surf coach. Also, what Apple Watch band is that!? Haha
So good!!! Even more Stoked for this weekend now! Frontside- arm inside leg is a total game changer. Backside-turning your front foot and then allowing that heel to come off the board for more mobility and a lower squat 🤯. Thanks for taking the time to find the old clips and I think I speak for all of us when I say .....film more when it's smaller!!!
Brett, thank you , this is pure gold. I did two barrels in my life and try on each wave to get that bliss again. Got clipped literally hundreds of times, but that’s gonna change! Cheers from France
gday brett, i thought i new how to ride barrells ,but turns out youre never too old to learn... at age 46 now im making way more thanks to your vids. cheers mate , now im frothing like a grommet... yyeeeeeww!!
Your videos are gold. Not many people have the skill to perform, the amassed footage, and the analytical inclination to produce a video like this. Is this body position something you worked out and put into practice or was there some other process of discovery that led to you finding it?
It’s just what I do... the frontside arm inside my knee thing became habit, and I realized how much better it was. Everything else was just natural progression
It's just mind blowing man! Where i surf i don't have much of barrel opportunity, but when it shows up i always throw myself at those little tubes haha Actually i never made one and i think it is because of my posture and line that i picked up, but knowing this maybe i'll do better when it happens again. Thanks for the video and keep the awesome job!
Just found the channel from gravy's vlog. Trying to figure out the grab rail on the new soft top fish, any tips for not nose diving when going to get low and grab the rail in the drop of the backside
Yea! I have a toe.problem.from litdoging ... The frontsid tip was.money.. my pointbreak is left so my frontaide varrel.sucks, tommorow trying it out... and ita tiny at the beachbreak
Thank you for always uploading videos. I'm watching your videos from Miyazaki, Japan, and studying tube riding. You taught me to position my front shoulder inside, closer to my knees when riding a frontside barrel wave. Thank you! Miyazaki sometimes gets barrel waves during typhoons, so I'll study and practice again during those times, visualize, and watch your videos repeatedly to learn. I look forward to more video uploads in the future (・∀・)b ありがとう！
That’s where surfing is crazy😂 all these intricate technical adjustments that need to be made in split seconds in order to come out the other end of that tube. Thanks for the tutorial! Extremely useful, can’t wait to integrate these techniques into my surfing🤙🏼 If you could put together a tutorial on how to position yourself when doing some big backhand snaps, that would be epic!
Brett, your How To videos are awesome. You should do more of these. Don't have to be fancy airs tutorial and such, just Fundamental techniques would be great. Thanks again.
I mean, when you're just that good!!! I"m thinking maybe I'd get in their with a boogy board!!! But, you have just provided a ray of hope Brah!!! GAME ON!!!
Brett, thanks for taking the time to put these together, lots of great info that I will definitely incorporate to improve my results. Your winter wetsuit, what thickness required? I am usually at Folly but have not hit it in coldest winter yet, need to check out the NC shore, looks crazy good up there.
Used to find it really easy to pigdog when I was a whippersnapper up until about the age of 40 now after a few injuries etc and being 49 it ain't so easy anymore frontsides fine just can't get so low now onda backhand interesting watch 🏄👌🤙a wide stance helps a lot on your backhand I think it did me anyway people with narrower stance,s quite often look awkward when pigdogging 🤙
Brett “The Man” Barley! I love these Breakdown/How To videos. I never thought about my foot positioning when barrel riding, except maybe stand further forward to go faster. I am excited to bring all of these cues and awareness of foot positioning into the line up. Thanks again Brett! Cheeee🤙
Great share. Especially since I'm a FL surfer and these are the type of waves we get - little ones. One we can relate to. I wish my knees could handle those contortions, but no way.
Another great vid with some helpful insight. For what it is worth, I understand you have to calculate the ROI for paying a filmer and your time I editing such for each time you go out to film, but I would enjoy seeing more summer footage of yours when it is smaller like this.
I’m definitely going to... it’s just hard as my filmer from REAL Watersports needs to do whatever’s most productive and filming small surf doesn’t take precedence over shooting stuff at the shop on a given day. But we got after it today in some small fun tubes! Coming next week :)
