I am glad you have mentioned about the "cool" factor about surfing as it has always been like that around this sport. I have a large amount of surfboards as part of my quiver therefore the one I have been surfing the most is my 7 foot foamie that can handle pretty much everything from 1-2ft to 6ft waves. It lives inside my Van and it is my best friend forever! Don't be fooled by what someone will think of you holding a foamie, just get out there with any kind of board you might have and have the best time ever. If that was the case Italo Ferreira won't be one of the best surfers ever, he started surfing with a Styrofoam container lid. Have you not seen JOB surfing Pipeline with a foamie ?! Go foamies !!! LOL KKKKKKKK

@octaviojimenez9274 3 года назад

I been surfing 3 years and my foam board by far has the best stories so far. By the end of the day everyone is assuming I been doing this for years. Jerry Lopez from Costco 100 bucks. Lighter than traditional foamies so I can whip it when I feel frisky and it catches almost anything I look at😎

I tried a long board a few times and then instantly bought a 6’6 foam funboard around 50lt (similar to the one kale recommended) Perfect and easier to handle than a 9” long board.

Hi Kale, I am an beginner/intermediate surfer, I started with an high volume board, but some time ago I moved to a shortboard improving a lot the maneuver and I love it. Now I am a little confused about different boards for different conditions, in details in smaller and less powerful waves is it better to increase the volume or just having a different board shape?

@androuil 3 года назад

Hi Kale! Love the videos! I'm eyeing up the specific board you mentioned in the video and have a few questions. Coming from a foamie myself, Catch Surf Round nose fish, I was wondering how stiff this board is. Ocean and Earth mentions it's the epoxy range, but what does that mean? Is it an epoxy hard board wrapped with the grippy soft top? Does it have a more "real surfboard" feel (meaning very minimal flex)? I've heard similar raving reviews about the mick fanning range and Softech has recently released two epoxy models, which are pretty much what I've mentioned above (epoxy boards wrapped in a soft top)! How does the happy hour stack up? Looking forward to your response! Shakas from the Mediterranean!

Nice explanation, appreciate the info! I learned to surf in Aust on a 7'0" foam mini malibu and got quite capable; then decided to buy a board I could travel with and "grow" into. The board was a 5'10" gun and the differences were unreal, I couldn't catch a wave, I'd slide off the side when paddling hard, I would drink water since the board was submerged and I was breathing so heavy haha. It would be great to see a video explaining intermediate boards for simple beach breaks. Cheers.

I started learning on a 7'2" Walden Mega Magic. Still a beginner, and still learning a lot after a year, but I'm thinking about investing in a 7'6" sharper nose board with less volume. The mega magic will still serve a purpose but bigger days its just too much. Thoughts?

@surfratducdive 3 года назад

Great Tips! Thanx 4UR Time! With soft top boards everyone has a propensity to shy away from them because they believe that there's no cool factor involved but quite the contrary, isn't it? You pointed out all the Cool Factors Out; Lightweight & Comfortabilities = Ease of Paddling - Stability Paddling & in Stance - Softer on the Noggin and most importantly progress in performance ''Yea Brah!''

What is the surf board type progression? Foam board (beginner) > fun board (beginner/ intemed) > ?? > short board (Adv) ? I've just started surfing last couple of months, I found a foam really easy riding standing but couldn't turn much because of its size. I don't want to spend a lot of money buying different boards, but I'm pretty keen to find a board i can duck dive with but also has some stability. What you reckon?

@petervad 3 года назад

Another great vid, thanks. Yes, I always thought foamies were only for beginners, thanks for setting me straight there. I am interested that you didn't mention weight or height of the surfer. I am beginner/intermediate surfer, I am 6ft3in and about 100kg - I have found that I need something much bigger (volume) and longer than an equivalent surfer who is 5ft10in and 75kg! Would you not factor in surfer height and weight into your purchasing considerations? Cheers.

I want to start practicing turning and surfing along the rail but the waves on clean days are usually pretty small. However I feel that too many liters slow me down too much and the board isn't being sucked into the wall of the wave as easy.

@Mongiloyd 2 года назад

Tldr: yes you do want a hardtop longboard due to the rails and other capabilities of the board. This is as any personal advice heavily dependant on what your current level and ambitions. If your are really looking into traditional logging you can get far on your 9,0. As apart from the standard popup, green waves and angled take offs you have a lot more to learn that comes down to technique rather than manouvers based on mobility. I.e. Crosstepping, faded take off, stalling and positioning on the wave. However, yes there is a point a hardtop becomes better. That has to do with the contours and compared to a foamie a lot with the rails of the board. For instance a cutback or carving turn on a foamie is hard, because the board does not want to due to its chunky thick rails. Not impossible but limiting for sure if carving turns becomes the next thing to learn. And yes, you do want to start learning these eventually. Edit: faded take offs might also give you some trouble due to thick rails.

What size foamie would be best for someone that is 56in

@devlaaaar6866 3 года назад

Hey, i have got a question re buying my first foamy, iv taken several lessons and can stand up regularly, i calculated my volume based on your surfboard buying guide and the volume i calculated for myself is approximately 76L (95 x 0.8) - i am 181cm tall and 95kg, iv been thinking about getting the catch surf log , the 7ft log has a volume of 72L and the 8ft has a volume of 86L - im not sure which to get.

What did u end up getting ? And any recommendations for someone just starting with the same exact height and weight ?

U think catch surf RNF 6'5 is good for first board, 6’5” x 21.5” x 3.0” (56 Liters)

What is a good size foam board to work on turns and pumping the wave but still have the buoyancy?

@KalesBroccoli 3 года назад

Depends on many factors but generally nothing over 6’6 or so I’d guess

That O&E board only goes up to a 7"6, what would you recommend for someone at 90kg/6"2? I'm weighing up between a 9"-ish longboard, or a shorter 8"-ish foamy.

Depends on that persons abilities

I just started surfing this summer and really wanna get my first board, im just wondering if your weight has a part to play when choosing the right board, alot people suggest to me a 8 foot board as I am 80kg, I don't mind the big board but I really wanna advance my mobility

@LukeAMcDowell 2 года назад

I would go with your friend’s recommendation. An 8’ foam board seems ideal.

Thanks for the video. I clicked on the link to purchase the board you have, but it keeps saying you literally have no boards on the site. Do you not have any for sale?

@KalesBroccoli 3 года назад

Sorry we don’t sell boards but try the O&E website 🤙🏽

If I’m a beginner and I weigh 220-230 what’s the best board can I get for me?

@jwesplayinify 3 года назад

i want to know how you film yourself surfing. what camera do you use? how do you set up? have you used a soloshot? would you recommend it? these are the sorts of things i’d like to either see a video about or know about. i take seriously the idea that a great way to improve is to see yourself. i want to figure out how to make that happen for myself. i’m a patreon subscriber and i love the client videos you share. thanks!

@KalesBroccoli 3 года назад

I have a camera operator - haven’t had great experiences with solo shot thus far but we’ll see if that changes in the future

thanks for the response
