How to Surf : How to Take the First Turn While Surfing

[jpoelze]

ToneDr.,

I just wanted to say thank you for your videos.

Your way of teaching is excellent and I really appreciate the approach.

If you arent teaching guitar already, your professionalism really differentiates you.

Thanks again for your willingness to share your talents and your hard work.

All the best.

[LickingJuicy]

Make a new video with GO PRO HD man

[AwesomeMB7Cowboy]

im from san diego

[JUSTmeTicKeYz]

ahahaha i surf there it la jolla:D

[rickyjoe10]

thats bullshit



[SSuperCuriouss]

i got a semi-long board. catching foamies is fine, but the nose dips during the wave rise before i get to stand up. what should i do? turn, stand up sooner, lean back to get the tip and whole board off the water? big curls are the worst. I don't worry about getting dumped - chicks are worse :-p

[freelifenride16]

@SSuperCuriouss shift your weight back towards the tail of the baord a bit while paddling into it. thats what i found

[SSuperCuriouss]

@freelifenride16 sweet!! thanks. will do.

[TheDonnie98]

@SSuperCuriouss yea what that one dude said is true to but u might not be standing up fast enough. cause i swear to god i learned that its all about the timing, and right as u feel the wave pushing u just jump with ur knees and then u a hotshot

[SuperLani1010]

The feeling I had when I caught my first wave....AMAZINGGGGG. I felt invincible! But then reality hit me and I was struck by a wave. :P

[nkspeditionas]

Wtf how he does that with that 360 :o

[GBINGCODPLAYER]

Look anyone can surf it all counts on that first experience. I didnt learn how to surf i allready knew how i caught my first wave the first day i tried to and it set the tone for every time i surf.i am verry multi talanted i can pratically do anything when i put my mind to it. Im 14 and man do i love it but you can surf at 80 as long as you know how to stand up. I hope this information helped

[camster411]

And I thought you can't do tricks on a long board... Thats sick... Thanks!! :D

[jerseyRJ]

expert village is pretty much as useful as a ripped rubber but madd props on the 360!!

[Bucky640]

Looks like a surfer Patrick Swayze

[MrBradyiscool]

Now how do you do it?

[TheSponger4life]

15 people cant surf. HAHAHHAHAAHAHHHAHHAHAHA

[CamiloSanchez1979]

Is it hard to learn it? Can I learn it at my 30s?

[unlocked2088]

@CamiloSanchez1979 my dad learned recently and he's 50. surfing just takes time and heart. go for it

[bryanbrodie94]

@iceman8995 yo dood, you got anypictures on swellinfo becuase i was checking out this surfer iceman hes dope, just wondering bro

[Mdpeterson0420]

Small ass wave, big ass board



[crazyskater4]

how big was that wave he caught (feet/inches)

[rysurfer73]

pop up quicker and get that back foot down!

[CannedKoolaid]

any tips on how to keep the front of my board from going under and me face planting when im trying to catch a wave?

[eightball8008]

@CannedKoolaid lean back and pull the nose up a bit

[distardemexico]

@CannedKoolaid I think you need to lay a little back on your board, you are just too front, hope works

[SickGnarDopeShredder]

@CannedKoolaid try to lean back and adjust your postion farther back on your board whille paddling and taking off on waves, that should help. If that doesn't work, I reccomend getting a bigger board

[DjFoofighter]

@CannedKoolaid or just have your foot placement slightly more to the back of the board

[17sg71]

@aresto680 you just need to catch your first good wave. then you´ll love surf. And you won´t get out of water

[TheShakey90]

@17sg71 true that! Caught a few yesterday....its addictive

[imnotokeither]

LI Rulez

[LOLZING34]

Yeah punch I get that too apparently I need to paddle faster so I don't end up right on top of it

[punchaloo]

I can catch waves just fine, just duk diving 7 foot waves I have problem with. it seems to take my board along with the break.

[ochocino85boy]

@punchaloo that happens to everyone. even pros.

[surfhawaii08]

@punchaloo do u have any idea how big a 7 ft wave is? obviously not.. ur 7 ft wave is probably like, 3 ft. loolz

[punchaloo]

@surfhawaii08 No, sir, let me tell you something. The only reason you are so freaked out about seven foot waves is that you can't even surf your 3 foot waves. You don't even know me dude change your wannabe username man I know what a seven foot wave is I live in Puerto RIco

[chesseownz]

@punchaloo imbecil aqui aunque venga un swell no se forman de siete pies amenos que vayas mar afuera jodio moron

[hkgjts]

[DinosaurOps]

ANYONE WHO IS WATCHING THIS DONT LISTEN tO THIS SCARY MAN

[ObserversParadox]

@penkotan

why dont you make a tutorial

[hazardroll1]

now i just need a place with waves

[EthanJaynes]

Thnx this helped a lot I can now turn!!! YAY now im anxious to try it on a bigger wave

[jerryboisky]

LAME!

[xXxdaguitarfreakxXx]

@jerryboisky and why are you watching this?

[UUwill1]

In your video, you did not do what you explained. You basically allowed the wave to catch you after you made a couple of strokes then jumped to your feet as the wave was breaking. You did not catch it with fast strokes or get into the wave before it broke.

[PlanetEarth71994]

DUUUUDDDDEEEE!!!

[MADsKillZSURFER]

can u get a tighter rashguard

[cowandhorsetv]

i lived near san diego but than i moved

[AnyViiideos]

i'm absoletly agreeee ... u must take the wave before the break

[sewasam]

nice helicopter

[yohocomere]

he needed 2 stay lower wen he jumped up!! he was 2 upright

[Donpockets510]

i wish he was my teacher

[dontdareforget123]

@Donpockets510 me too :P

[skippy9669]

uy turn were the wave is not breaking

[TheSurfreakDK]

well ya its way better if you do that ...its funner but some times when the whole wave breaks allthoughether then you have to turn into the white water..

[98nfsmw98]

@skippy9669 Yes it was.

[plotthound1]

how do you know which way to turn? or does it matter? i dont want to be turning into the crashing wave.

[dantheman374]

u look to see which side is starting to break first or if u cant then guess haha

[98nfsmw98]

@plotthound1 There's 2 ways I determine to turn left or right.

1. Before I catch a wave, I look behind me and if the wave is breaking first to one side I turn the other side.

2. Once I pop up I look left and right and if its an open wave and not crashing I turn that way.

[F411fr0mgr4c3]

sick 3

[jacky812]

he is great!

[MrLeeMrLee2]

i bet he was a pro when he was in his 20s

[justWatchin97]

@MrLeeMrLee2 you can't be serious, what he's doing in that clip is one of the simplest things possible on a surfboard.

[MrLeeMrLee2]

i dont know why i said that at the time it was a long time ago and i didnt mean the turn i meant that 360 he did

[Runningidiot]

kook

[metalschooldrill]

I did not say that. I think someone hacked my namesite?

[Runningidiot]

yea I'm sure

[iceman8995]

[SeaofSamsara]

Nice longboard 360. Cheers

[chefmomo]

[span24]

This is titled 'how to take you first turn' but doesn't actually discuss the turning part of catching the wave, only the take off...

[lookn0ver]
