I guess this is good for people who have never even heard of surfing before, but this almost way too simplistic. There also some false facts, like requiring a wetsuit or leash. The waves you were surfing on were too easy, even for a beginner; they were like those annoying little ankle-biter waves you see on bad days. Also, it seemed like you really had no grasp on real surfing or the logistics of it; almost like you were reading this out of a textbook.
Four days ago, I watched this video. I followed the instructions, and it actually worked, I caught and successfully surfed the first wave I attempted - YouTube taught me how to surf!
i am 5'4 140 lbs and have been surfing for 2 years i have a 6'0 board and want to go down to a smaller board any suggestions on size and type of board and company
@superjuice1000 Pretty expensive, bro. It depends on if you buy second-hand or something like that. I know that new the stuff is pretty pricey. Ask a friend if you can borrow a board and suit or if you can rent one for the first few times you go surfing so you don't get stuck with expensive stuff. :) Good luck!
damn im so thankful for this. I mean i had no clue that i would need a surfboard in order to surf...... i thought maybe i should use a car hood and a dog leash.....im so glad i watched this. its all so clear now.
@revirtonly depends... I picked it up in a day. And was helping the local school teach lessons within a month.. With no prior experience... others cant do it at all. If you can ski, skateboard well then you should be able to pick it up quickly. Most people it just takes practise! Where you thinking of surfing? :)
Why are there so many twats on youtube? This is clearly aimed at beginners, so knob-ends come on here and criticise it as too basic when it's clearly not aimed at people who already can surf. And as for his criticisms about his accent... there should be an age and IQ limit on people allowed to post.
@TheatreFracture haha ok don't jump off your seat mate, it's not like it says you're dyslexic in your name or anything, the thing is your senrtence was so short that the spelling mistake stood out -__-
on the other hand, yea i'm a pedantic asshole... apparently... you've gotta deal with it.
yes, they never mention bending the back foot inward, and bringing the front foot to where your chest it, or actually should be just a little farther on a straight line through the chest point between feet so you dont fall back as easily. also, your doing most board direction control with your back leg. the chest is the center of bouyancy, like center of gravity in water. the farther up the front foot, the more weight shared between feet, which you ideally want most on the front foot.
and another thing people dont always get, DO NOT JUMP UNLESS SPECIFICALLY TRANSFERRING BETWEEN WAVES! water doesnt like to compress, especially when it has momentum and alot of inertia relative to you. you want to maintain grip.
You shouldn't hold the side of the board as it creates unbalance. You should put your hands just below your chest and fairly near the centre of the board. Also your feet may not touch the back of the board if you have a larger board or they may go over it if you have a smaller one so that point is incorrect. Also the foot positioning will only work with an large soft board. Nice clear video though.
Cool, now that the summer is coming to an end I guess I can always slap my wetsuit on and practice in my bath; maybe my rubber duck will give me a few pointers.
