Ahhh man, Southerly swells are always so slow and sweepy around here. Probably my most frustrating surfs ever have been with these conditions but all it takes is one wave or good session and the stoke is back!

Trial and error definitely gives you the best results but this video is more aimed at incoming instructors for the school so we avoid having scared kiddos.

Hello, send us a message with more details and we'd be more than happy to try and help.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you 🙏 We were there early October

Scopello, Italy

Hey Hose, this is actually a pretty common occurence and I think I know exactly what's going on. Typically it feels a lot more natural to twist and fall forward or hit the lip and come down with your chest toward the beach on your backhand as you can see more clearly and feel more controlled and balanced this way. On a frontside snap it feels a bit awkward as your back is to the beach so you're essentially falling back and feeling as if you're losing control. Look at my frontside snap and see how I twist before I hit the lip and I make sure I don't lean back as you'll lose the power and pivot through the turn. Try twist rather than lean and also play around with your timing. Hopefully this helps!

It pays to be onto it 👌

The old boy was spot on!

Video will be coming soon. It’s essentially the same thing but in reverse. Less compression/pressure and rotation when smaller and then the opposite when there’s a larger wave. There is a full video on our channel with all the different variations 👌

Anytime 👌

It's more of a HEYYY or HOOO which gets a littel muffled with the GoPro in the mouth. Very small margin for error in these types of waves and if anyone takes the wave or drops in on me it'll ruin my wave and possibly injure me too. It's essentially a loud and obnoxious way of putting my indicator on in my car of blowing my horn to warn someone of incoming danger.

Have no idea what I was doing but somehow survived without any help.

Glad you enjoyed it

Sounds good!

Thank you!

Hey Stefan, are you talking about front or backside snaps or both? This pump you’re talking about is either an extra speed generator or most likely a way to draw their bottom turn out to better time the upcoming snap section. It’s essentially a way to delay their upcoming planned bottom turn so they are hitting the top part of the wave at the right time. This is at least what I think you’re talking about. If you have any video on YT with your example post a link and a time stamp and I’ll hopefully be able to provide more info.

Re entry is definitely in the works and we will be sure to have more of Bear in the video!

Around march this year 👌

@@Kirrapointsurfschool Thanks, those huge sweeps there too much for me so its cool to see from your perspective

Thank you, will try and keep them coming.

Thank you!

Wow hi

@@GMoffat77 hallooooooo

Thank you! This is definitely in the pipeline. Hoping to have a whole new encyclopedia on surfing technique up here but it takes time to make quality videos.

I think I understand your question and I’ll try and answer. There’s a lot to unpack here. I usually make my mind up at the bottom part of the turn. Usually I find if I’m between two minds (can’t decide what turn I’m going to do) I tend to mistime the turn and either fall or fall out of rhythm with the wave. Otherwise if you’re accidentally laying back it’s likely your back arm is going behind your back during the turn and throwing your balance off. You can correct this by bringing that arm around to point to the beach and you should stay more upright to do a more conventional “snap.” There’s also other times where you plan a turn off the top and the section you’re hitting ends up doing things differently to what you expected and you end up doing something different to what you planned. This is what makes surfing fun, unpredictability, you can sometimes do some really odd but fun turns when this happens. In this circumstance I would just say roll with it and it sounds like you already are!

@@Kirrapointsurfschool Amazing stuff. Thanks. I am subscribed bro. My humble request is for next clip instructional clip is frontside snap into 360 or blow tail 360. I can do the regular typical 360 no problem and sometimes backside snap 360. Never a frontside turn into a 360 however. I know many with same issue. Thanks so much! I look forward to see this channel grow. Such quality from the get go.

Thank you!

Hey mate, great video idea. I’ll try get something out soon 👌

Yes! Frontside Snap 🤙🏼

@@ShoreySurfAustralia Coming up!
