How to Put on 7mm Mittens
I can't tell you how many people do not know how to do this! It's something I go over with clients every winter. First off, let's be very clear: ALL GLOVES/MITTENS GO INSIDE YOUR WETSUIT, NOT OUTSIDE! If you wear your gloves outside your suit they'll fill up with water. Same for boots. Don't make those rookie mistakes.
Second, I gotta say that for surfing cold water I prefer mittens to lobster claws and five finger gloves. Why? Two reasons:
1. When all your fingers are together they're warmer. I have had the worst experiences in lobster claws and five fingers. Ever had frost bite? It hurts like hell. I don't find that you get any real dexterity upshots from those styles either.
2. The mitt acts like a webbed glove and you actually get a lot of paddle power out of these suckers.
So that's why I like mittens. But they can be tricky to put on. Well at least the second one can! The first is a piece of cake because your other hand is free. So how do you put on the second one? That's what this video is about! Here are the three steps:
1. Use your thigh to roll your sleeve up -- I emphasize ROLL NOT FOLD
2. Put on the mitt -- this can take a minute
3. Roll the suit back down over the mitt and go surfing!
Never let cold water deter you from continuing to surf. Waves are waves. We have gear so we can surf 'em all!

What To Know When Buying Your First Board
Not even close to an Aipa sting design, double wing swallow would be more correct.
Holy shit.... That's why you must be thankful for the surf location you have.
😂
Put your website link in the text summary of each video. Potential viewers can click the link to your website vs closing TH-cam and bringing up another browser. Great stuff!
I think I am doing this in every one already? Are you not seeing a hyper link?
going too short too soon is such a good advice. I mainly surf on my 8'0 foamie, I got a 6'0 and after a lot of paddling and scary wipeouts I realized i wasn't ready yet. one thing that worked for me though is taking the shorboard when the waves are very small (1-2ft), those conditions are good to practice taking off and it's also a paddling workout to prepare for the bigger days.
Thanks for this. Nice to hear from your own experience.
I just bought a 7'8" Aipa Big Boy. It has 71L of volume. Do you think you can duck dive this? I'm 59 and tried to paddle out during Hurrican Ernesto and decided it was too much for me.
Heya! Thanks for your comment! It's very hard for me to answer these questions w/out actually seeing you in action. If you want to schedule a call or a consult go over to my website! www.conatussurfclub.com
I have at least a thousand dollars worth of high performance short boards which I surfed for decades. I also enjoy the cheap Wavestorm boards for small waves and ease of paddling. A shoulder injury makes prone paddling painful. Now I can knee paddle into a swell long before it's steep enough for a short board. It doesn't hurt my knees and I can do silly stuff like headstands,coffins and my special footdrag buttspin 180 into reverse coffin. I do feel bad for all the shapers and handcrafted skills that it takes to make a quality board but half of it's all done by automated computers now. Haters gonna hate. It used to be short vs longboards. Now we've got SUPs,foilboards and e-foils. Soft boards should be the least of our worries.
Love this insightful comment. Indeed, there's always more context and nuance than knee-jerk click-bait comments will afford.
If you’re having trouble with your softy, ask your Dr. for a blue pill.
lol "hims" -- or go on a plant predominant diet to help with blood flow -- ED is a precursor to heart failure
Soft boards aren't safe. They are safER than a hardboars. Also, hard boards are as bad for the environment. I surf for 25 years now, and I surf more and more on a high performance softboard than on my fiberglass.
Same for me, my favorite board is my 4'8 twin fin soft top.
Soft tops=no soul
I’ve been hit in the face by heavy ass longboards that people clearly weren’t ready for, i think you should ride a soft top until you can handle your board with confidence, and there’s no other way to learn how to handle it than surfing. Gotta earn a hard board imo
No leash at a fairly busy break? Soul arch, the most contrived thing in all of surfing? Agree to disagree I guess. Good surfing when you get to it though.
They're popular at some spots in Australia because often the lifeguard flags will be put in the middle of the peak. Only way to surf there is body surf, bodyboard or with a soft top otherwise the lifeguard will go off at you. So uncrowded peak, let the lifeguard know you're riding a softtop and hopefully they're good with you surfing there.
Thanks for this! This adds more context and nuance to the discussion. Really appreciate it.
Soft tops have no place in surfing… if you’re scared of your board hurting you, stay in bed 🤙
I don’t know why you care what someone else rides
I surf a balsa - am I a surfer or banned?
@@soulesperanza a pretender
I love my Conatus Barahona!!
Yew!!!!
José shapes some really nice boards! He’s been my good friend and shaper for over 20 years!
Damn that's rad! What are some of your favorite shapes by him?
@@conatussurf of course his longboards are incredible as are his mid-lengths but by far my favorite boards have been ( we always do a shaping appointment and shape as a collaboration ) the Bonzer’s that we’ve worked together on have been absolutely amazing! Not so much the traditional 1970’s version but more modernized with wider tails, down rails, less cant with the side keels but still with really deep double concave out the tail between the keel fins! I’m a big dude at 6’4”, & 250lbs so typically 23”wide and 3 1/2 thick! Suuuper fast, loose but can hold in double overhead waves and rip waist to head high waves to pieces. I’m currently in Mexico for the summer but when I get home, I’m going to get together with Jose and shape a 12’ glider specifically for the small point breaks down here… cheers buddy 🏄🏼♂️🎣🤙🏻
I'm curious ~ what would be the differences between a 7'6" and 6'8" board (say, for example, sakes, the same model) regarding midlength boards? I'm 55 years old, 175ish pounds, 5'9" still trying to keep surfing weekend warrior style \m/. I'm trying to paddle again and improve my surfing with a new 6'8" board. It's been an adjustment just trying to catch waves.
It could be the difference between struggling and not struggling. It's always hard for me to give fool proof and solid advice if I've never seen you surf or paddle. But if you say you're struggling on the 6'8" that's a sure sign you need more foam. You should be able to surf a 7'6" as I'm doing in this video. After that step down.
What’s the volume on this board? Definitely looks too big for you. Did you get it just to surf bigger waves? I think a more narrow swallow tail would be better if you’re going to oversized a board like that for bigger waves?
This board was never made for me. I got it for a grom I work with to help her step down from a longboard. She didn't really take to it so I just used it for some larger days in NY. Took it on this trip to Barbados and had a few fun sessions, but ended up giving it to my boy Tyrone who is 6'6" and 165 lbs. Board works great for him! If you look across the channel overall I surf better on stuff that's either super small or mid sized. Strangely boards like this that are shortboards but just too big to be a good shortboard for me don't work well for me. I've been tubed on the thing for sure. I'm loving the 5'4" Tomo I've been riding recently. That's more in line with my ability level and my weight/fitness. Been updating insta with that recently!
Ha ha, I love my 9’2” Bing 50/50 rail. I don’t pearl however it can get a bit tricky with our East Coast waves.
I have a random question but I really want to know the answer, I’m pretty new to surfing and recently bought a second hand board, it’s a 6’11 x 20 inches and has a pretty thin pointed nose and a fish tail, is this considered a midlength or have I accidentally bought a gun. Just curious as to whether I can you it I’m small waves🙏
What was the dimensions of the first board? Can you use it in smaller waves?
7'6" x 21.75" x 2.5" -- it's a great board in smaller waves and you can see me surfing it in many videos on this channel. For example, it's the board I'm surfing in the "Millisecond Push Up" video and will feature heavily in the video I'm dropping tomorrow on Jose Barahona.
This is pretty unrelated but I recently bought a second hand board, it’s a 6’11 x 20 inches and has a pretty thin pointed nose and a fish tail, is this considered a midlength or a gun surfboard and will it surf in smaller waves??
This is pretty unrelated but I really want an answer, I have a 6’11 x 20 inches with a pretty thin pointed nose and a fish tail, is this considered A midlength or more of a gun, and could I surf it in smaller waves?
Hey dude! I'd need to see the board but it sounds like more of a "gunny" shape, but still 20" is pretty wide. Nevertheless it doesn't sound like it's the best all around board with the super pointy nose.
Which video explains why one shouldn't stretch at the beach?
Haven’t made it yet but have tons of content as to why. As a preview of the basic reason is that the work should already be done. I always make these with future vids in mind. Thanks for watching and your patience 🤙🏽
hey! would you duckdive with that7'6 in big white waters?
Me personally? I would find a channel and try not to get caught inside 😝. I personally surf smallish boards in sizey surf. Newer surfers who require large boards are generally better off taking their time to figure out the sets and work as hard as possible not to get caught inside. This takes patience, but it totally pays off. It is a totally reasonable goal to get good enough to ride more duckdiveable sized boards in larger surf, but I wouldn’t do it if it means sacrificing style and progress.
thanks for clearing my doubts, if you were caught inside would you bail or try to turtle roll?
@@sweet-sinner I would actually try to duckdive and if I wasn't able I'd catch the next whitewater in to find the channel and get out of the impact zone. It's not worth spending time in the impact zone of large waves with a big board. Better to go in a bit, reset, and find a better way out. I try to avoid turtling and bailing in equal measure. I don't find either of them very effective.
@@conatussurf thanks a lot
Hello from Philadelphia. So, im just now starting my surfing journey at the young age of 48. I've been surfing about a year and a half now. I've always been a quick learner, and my first coaching session, the trainer saw that and suggested that instead of learning on a softop, I should just jump straight to a hard top. The next morning, I went out and got a used 8' Magic Performance and have been learning on that ever since. My progression was a little rocky at first because I jumped right into a hard top, but now I'm popping up and catching small waves. Last week, i wanted to try a new fin and saw that rake fins might be up my alley, so i ordered one. Here's where my question comes in. The fin i ordered is a 9'5 FCS II Christenson Longboard fin, Performance glass. My board is a 8'. Is the fin too big for my board? Do i need to send it back, or can I use it without any problems? Sorry for the long post, but im still really green and don't know the finer points of surfing yet. Hope you can help! 🤙
First off, thanks for subscribing and commenting! I really appreciate it. Second, just so that you're clued into surf culture, we call soft tops "soft tops," but fiberglass boards we call "fiberglass," "PU," or "Epoxy," depending on the materials used. We rarely use the term "hard top." Essentially the whole board is "hard," not just the top. I have a bunch of views on the various materials used for boards, and used to think that it was best just to start with a fiberglass board from the beginning, but I've since changed my tune a little bit, but only for premium soft boards like those made by Mick Fanning, Surf Crime, and Surf Tech. The Liquid Shredders, Wave Storms, and Catch Surfs are absolute shit. So there's that. There's a lot that goes into a board that's "good for you." At the end of the day if you go way down the rabbit hole, you're gonna own like 10-30 boards lol. Same for fins. Sky is the limit. When you're worried about fins that are "too big" or "too small" you gotta think about what that would look like. Bigger fins create drag and make the board go a little slower. That can be a good thing. Smaller fins have less drag and can make the board go faster but have less control. That can also be a good thing, but bad if you don't like feeling out of control. So my take on your situation is to try out your fins. You want your board to feel stable and like it has a nice speed for you. If it feels too slow or "sticky" I'd put in a smaller back fin. If it's perfect, stick with what you got. If it's too fast, use a larger fin. If you want more info email me for a consult!
Hey Dion, my wave count has dramatically shot up, I’d say by 85%, from that in person wave shopping session we had about a month ago. It really does make the difference!
Thanks!!! Your surfing is coming far fast!!!
@@conatussurf That's because I have an amazing, incredibly detailed, coach! 🙌🤟
I have a 5'8" Roger Hinds fish and I absolutely love it. It's thick and buoyant, paddles like a dream, and actually goes vertical better than my CI Neckbeard. The fins on the Hinds are NVS c drives and although I don't know much about fins they work noticeably better than any other fin I've tried in that board. I don't think I'll ever ride a longboard in my old age because a big fish really gets the job done with ease. Great surfing in the video!
Thank you Shaun!!!
Nice to see a coffin ride on YT. The more homage paid to early surfing the more soul there iis :)
Thanks. Fundamentals are what I'm all about. Fun is a "fun"-damental. LOL
People make duck diving look easy but ive never mastered it. I always ditch the board and swim under the wave. It works every time. This video is very helpful and i will try your techniques next time. Thx
Please be trolling...
My excuse is always I’m 140lb and I ride a 7,8 with 41 liters. I don’t have a excuse anymore ):
What size fish would you recommend for someone 165-170 6ft? Solid intermediate.
I'm going to post a video about big fishes next week! Stay tuned. But anywhere from 5'8"-6'0". You'll see that big-ish fish work well even for a small fry like myself.
@@conatussurf thanks specifically wondering how a bigger fish with a wider tail would work backside on these NY waves which usually are semi closed outs. You’re lucky being goofy on these waves and surfing mostly frontside
@@FluffyAlpaca81 Ah gotchu. In general I think the idea that fishes are harder to surf backside is a myth. Check the backside surfing I do on fishes in the new vids that drop! But I think 5'8" is a good size for a surfer like yourself. You can email me if you want a Barahona. My boy Franz got one and raves about it every time he sees me.

radical flow. yup ;) love Rob's style ... never really felt connected to shortboarding until I saw Rob as well as Leah Dawson surf and then I was like yeah, I'm not just a longboarder haha
That leash string needs to be shortened so you don't destroy your tail.
Tail is fine. Thanks. Had the board almost 2 years now.
@@conatussurf ok
@@dablyputs if it makes you feel better I realized I tied it too long two years ago but I've just been lazy. for whatever reason it's been fine, so I have had no impetus to change it. I think maybe I tried once and it was kinda set like that so I didn't bother taking more time with it. Funny enough I take a lot of care of my body but am a little laissez faire when it comes to the equipment. I don't fix dings, for example, unless they're huge gouges. I tend to let little cracks and such just go until there's a larger ding that merits cleaning up the whole board. I never rinse my boards, etc. But I do change the wax 1-2x a year. This may even be lax compared to some people.
@@conatussurf it doesn't make me feel better, it's your board. My favorite board is a fish and I had the string too long but shorter than yours. It was fine while I was in Rockaway. I took it to El Salvador and the tail got destroyed as soon as I got into high swell period waves. I didn't think to check it because it had been fine. I am in love with every surfboard I own right now and I'm not rich ergo I want to hold on to them forever so I'm very particular about taking care of them.
@@dablyputs I’m going to ride a shortboard in those kinds of conditions, so probably will continue to not have issues with my fish. Actually never in my life had a leash string rip through my rails. Surfing since I was toddler, so that’s a pretty great track record. I did hold onto my rail saver with my hand to pull my board through a wave when I was 12. That hurt. Never did that again.
yew! look forward to the future episodes of this series. I got my own fish not too long ago and it would be super helpful to hear how you approach riding a fish.
Stay tuned Leo!
Cool video! I learned something, thanks. What are your thoughts on putting a tail pad on a fish? It seems very frowned upon in the supposedly open minded surfculture. Why is that? People say that, but I've never heard an actual good argument other than 'because you're not supposed to, that's not how you should surf a fish.' I've added a little fish to my quiver a year ago and I love it, although I sporadically seem to F up because of backfoot slippage, because I don't feel the end of the board, or when trying to do some more drawn out turns. I switch it up with my usual thruster depending on conditions, where I do have a tail pad, so it's like my back foot is often searching for the end of the board. I'm about to slap a pad on it, or convince me otherwise.
what i’ve seemed to realize abt my fish is that it isn’t smthg to be surfed as aggressively as a high perf. shortboard- it’s a board that requires you to sometimes be more in tune with the wave rather than just smashing sections. All this to say it’s a kinda board that is more flow orientated and therefore a tail pad isn’t needed. Plus often times fishes are very nice looking retro boards and it’s kinda a shame to put a tail pad haha a. To each his/her own tho.
Very interesting you point this out! I was in the surf shop the other day buying a grip for my new shortboard and noticed the Machado "Go Fish" grip by Firewire which is shaped for a fish board. My essential answer to your question can at least be partially answered by the video I posted on "Standing Out and Fitting In." It is an aesthetic and cultural decision to use grip on a fish (or any board) or not. Yes, there are practical concerns like slipping off the tail, but some people feel that more retro boards "look funny" with grip, so despite potential performance enhancements from using grip, we stick with the larger cultural norm. It's honestly just an aesthetic norm, so if you want to break it for your own potential performance enhancement, go for it. I personally don't like how it looks on fishes so I keep it off of my mind, obeying the cultural norm. But again, it's just a norm. You can decide to go with it or against it.
Do what feels good! I have a pro lite fish pad on my custom Lis style fish and so glad I do. Do not care what anyone says and more about how it feels!

Wow thank you. that means a lot.

soooo much of everything in surfing is about setting ourselves up for the desired outcome isn't that true ... patience, practice, positioning :) great videos! thx!
So true. I like to think of it in terms of an attitude of abundance. Waves are not limited resources. They'll never stop even though there are flat spells and lulls.
@@conatussurf I couldn't agree more 🙌
@conatussurf at 3:08 you describe how sinking the tail in the back of the wave helps prevent a wipeout. Can you elaborate on this more? I ride a higher volume egg shape, which is great for getting in early when possible, but on steeper/later takeoffs the tail gets lifted so high that it makes popping up or riding out of it super hard. Would love to hear your thoughts.
It sounds to me like you don't have enough positive connection with your tail when paddling. Would have to see video and/or do a consult to be sure. I'd check out my millisecond push up video to see about sinking the tail right before take off. Lmk if that's helpful. Otherwise I'm going to do more videos about tail control in the coming year. Thanks for your comment!
Every wave was perfect

Talk about spoilt! I'd kill for a wave like that in Cornwall right now. It's as flat as a haddock's Speedos.
Haha. This is last fall. It’s been dead flat in Ny for weeks. Finally we have some shit windchop to flop about in.
best duckdive video.
Thank you.
This is true but it's not often it's only you out in nearly perfect waves unfortunately 😅 If it's hustly 3 other surfers will already be popping on your shoulder while you're still deciding to go or not.
Looks like you wussed out respectfully
Interesting do you think it would help the video to include the tube I was spit out of this day? To better illlustrate why it's good to give away small closeouts when there are bigger, more open tubes on offer? Or just to use a smaller closeout day to show why going on waves that aren't worth your energy is a good idea . . .
Yes, the tube would help
