Some more common beginner surfer mistakes: living far from the Ocean, having a mortgage, working hard on the unloved job.
Right lol
Preach👏👏👏
Why you gotta remind me that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great stuff! Maybe one for intermediates? Turning from the middle of the board/back foot not back far enough...sitting too far out in the line up and missing waves...sitting on the shoulder and missing the peak...pumping too much and outrunning sections and surfing too horizontal
Hey Connor, thanks for the feedback! Stay tuned :)
Thats the best surfing I've ever seen you do Steven #togedder
thank u guys u have improved my surfing so much I just won my first competition.i started about a month ago and obviously I was really bad and now I can pump and do turns and laybacks.
Appreciate these weekly videos!!
Thanks for this video. It feels pretty isolating and daunting alone out the back trying to learn. Your video's are really helping me :)
Awesome Agnes, thank you. Good luck!
My man! Awesome video and nice tips, they will help me a lot right now that I've just started to practice this magical activity. Hugs from Lima, Perú!
Thank you guys for making such a great content! It helps, explains and makes us better surfers who know how to surf right!
Thanks Alexandr, glad it helped
Thanks man, i learning surf at this moment and your videos are helping alot.
Thanks Slikiw, we're glad we can help!
Once again you guys rock da surf ! 🌋
Great video! A good topic might be how to progress on maneuvers..!
Great intro explaining progression, thanks
You're an excellent teacher mate. Awesome vid.
Thanks for the feedback Mat, hope it helped
Can you do a vid on catching green water waves
Have a look through our videos Peter, we have a few that might help you out here!
I think you guys should get someone on here that enjoys longboards. Some of us that are learning/progressing in surfing want to surf longboard and it seems like you write them off completely calling them a beginner board. Also never suggesting that style of surfing to anyone on this channel. Other then that enjoying the channel dudes
I’ll try to do a longboard specific video in the coming months - not many appropriate waves in Sydney

@@HowtoRip Cheers Kale, hang 10 brudah
you are super awesome , Duuude !!
Thank you so much for this
Very helpful this tips. Thanks!!!
Sensacional!!!🤙🏼🇧🇷
Cheers Edson!
I really appreciate your channel! It’s really helped a lot and I can’t thank you enough...I’m a pool lifeguard and I was wondering if there’s anything I can practice in the water at the pool to improve my surfing skills for the summer besides just freestyle swimming. Again, thanks for the feed, love it🌸🤙
Sounds great, stay tuned Sidney :)
Love your videos;) thank you!
Could you please make a video how to read/ understand surf report, tides, swells, winds, seconds between waves.
Thanks Yanina, will see what we can do!
Can u do a vid on how not to run into people while they were on the wave, I don’t know probably a stupid question but anyway ;)
This would be great. It's what wigs me out the most as a beginner surfer. I don't want to get in people's way or hurt anyone
Yeah same I always try to go to the quiet spots 😂
Not a silly question Lily! It's all about being aware of where people are and knowing how much control you have over your board. If you have little control, then it is best to make sure there is no one in the direction you are going on the wave. This way there is no chance of you hitting anyone. If however, you can turn your board, and you are confident in doing so, then it is just a matter of keeping your eyes open as you're surfing, and turning around people as required. Hopefully the other surfers in the water will make an effort to get out of your way! That is a part of having good surfing manners. Does this help?
@@HowtoRip what if I’m paddling out to the line up or closer to shore and someone is on a wave heading toward me? Do I try to avoid them or stay still? Like if the pocket is heading toward me with a surfer in it do I stay still? Head for the white water? Head for the unbroken section?
When to lean forward or shufle feet forward for trimming?
Great video, very helpful! Do you find it helps to have differing paddling positions when paddling out vs. trying to catch a wave? I'm currently surfing a 7'2" board and I find its easier to be a few cm further back when paddling out, then I scoot forward a little when I'm paddling for a wave
Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out. On longer boards like your 7'2, for sure you can change your position a little. You sound like you're doing all the right things on this one!
HAve a weird habit, apparently the heel of my back foot is spending a lot of time on the edge of the rail, every board i have had has a groove worn in on the very edge just above the tail pad. On smaller waves I can work on feeling the tail pad but on bigger faster waves it is difficult to be aware of it
Whats the reason to surf with 4 fins, 3 fins and 2 fins! What Difference does it make?
4 fins produces more drive from the tail and let's you hold your line easier, 3 fins enables you to catch waves easier and go faster, also easier to put the board on the rail and turn harder, 2 fins is a bit slower and loose, lets you turn easy as but makes it a bit tougher to stay straight and hold your line. Hope this helped!

@@tynanbressan thank you king
Great new outro line 🤙. Would y'all ever think about coming to BSR Surf Resort? And what do you think about Occy's park? His design interests me the most but the PerfectSwell tech at BSR is pretty neat. Cheers guys. Always great stuff.
Hey B Barker, do you work at the BSR Resort? Occy's looks interesting and fun for sure, it's hard for us to comment as we haven't had a chance to surf a wave pool yet!
@@HowtoRip I do not (that'd be a dream job) but I live right in the middle of BSR and what used to be NLand in Austin. Slater and the WSL bought NLand and are redoing it but that's actually where I learned to surf. Pool surfing is definitely a different experience than the ocean. Definitely check it out if y'all ever get a chance!
Sounds good, we would love to!
Hello thanks for the video! Very clear the explanations!
Can you give us more details about the famous hight volume fish board like the dimensions? Cause I would like to start learning that skills ( turning, choose left side or right one...) thank you
That board is a Firewire Go Fish, 5'3, 20 1/4, 2 3/16, 27.4l
27 l oh my god that's to small for me
I'm gonna die in the sea..
I surf actually 50l... So I will never try a fish
I’m a total beginner and I’m so lost on which position on the ocean that I should be at... I struggled so hard to get past the incoming waves but I just couldn’t get to the lineup zone... So I was just at the white water zone and also somewhere where the waves are breaking... is it a good place for beginner to start at the white water zone?
Great job mates! Would you help me out to figure out why is harder to me surf frontside waves than backhand ones?? being regular....
By the way on a skateboard im goofy ... such a weirdo! Maybe because of that?? make sense?
Cheers mates!
Good to know that I’m not the only one ... I’ll try to be more committed with frontside drops ... cheers broda!
Hi Guys,
Tnx for all your effort. Can I have suggestion! Most of your audiance are beginner surfers like me. I think if you guys focus on beginner category for your videos you would be attracted to more views which is your aim. Also, help us(begginers) to gain more knowledge about ocean and surfing.
If you guys are running out of topic(I assume very soon), I suggest ask viewers to come with their surfing issues which become your topic of the week.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks for tuning in and for your feedback. We have plenty more videos coming that we hope will help your surfing progress Farzad :)
@@HowtoRip I live in Sydney,
Do you have a training session in Sydney to join?
0:30 name of the song please
Hola I am a beginner. Do you think I should not use a 7'0, 22 3/4 "or 6.4" board can I use it, what do you recommend for a beginner like me tx b4 bro 🤙🏻
I would go the bigger option!
Dont mind me... just watchin u pretending to be a kook lmao... best part of ur videos ive found. Also, could you do a video on fear management? I know i can surf just fine, but i recently always pull out out of fear even on somewhat small waves... help?
Yeah me too, go over the falls once in a session and confidence plummets to a point where if the face is too steep I pull out, not real fun aye
We have a video on building your confidence in the surf! Check it out, but stay tuned also, help is on the way :)
@@HowtoRip im fine with being in the water, even in big surf, so that video is kinda pointless to me... the fear comes when dropping into bigger waves.
I dunno if you saw my reply but i think its important:im not afraid of big surf, im afraid of the drop in. Pls dont make another video on water confidence, the water isnt scary at all. I need something on dropping into big waves. Looking down a larger wave than im used to always freaks me out so idk
I NEEEEEED to know the name of that intro song :,(
Shazam
A Brazilian learning with Australians! Thanks to the content, today the Brazilian surfers (Medina, Italo, Toledo) are among the best surfers in the world. They fly, do some spells with board, but for me, the best surf style still belongs to the Australians
Obrigado Stephan!
could you please make a video of how to find youre own style?
If you apply the skills that we talk about, you're own style will show through over time. It is a hard one to teach, as everyone obviously surfs differently no matter what.
That was very informative, being a nube.
Glad it was helpful!
What if i am in a stage of starting to turn and already knowing to get up and to catch waves? Should i start with low volume shortboards?
What board are you riding now Alejandro? It sounds like you could change to something a little more high performance.
4:40 hay muchos más idiotas en el surf que cuando uno maneja.
Si amigo
Could you start off on a high volume fish ?
Provided the length and volume were appropriate then yes!
@@HowtoRip legend 👍🏻 I was thinking of buying a 6.0 I think it’s about 46L. I’m 5.6 and decent fitness level, what do you think?
Awesome videos man really informative for the beginners like myself
who is at fault at 4:40? (i'm not sure what "drop in" means)
First guy is already on the wave. Second guy drops in front(from the top of the wave)....big no-no.
If you're paddling into a wave, you look down the line in the opposite direction to see if someone is already there. If they are, you back out.
Sometimes, if it's coordinated, two surfers can take off at a peak and go opposite directions, left and right. Pipeline is a great example of this when Pipeline and Backdoor are both working.
Sometimes really big waves like Waimea can hold multiple surfers but you still might catch an earful in the lineup later. It's best to just never drop in on someone.
Petar and B Barker are on the money, if someone is up and riding on a wave, do not take off.
