This is the most difficult sport to learn, I think. It took me about four years before I got a sense for where to be to catch a wave. Just on the shoulder. I’d angle my board just a touch then arch my back and hold for a beat as I caught the wave. It makes a huge difference to angle the board slightly in the direction you want to go. Then quickly pull your legs under yourself and stand in a slight crouch to get going. It’s like having just the right touch as you shoot a free throw or putt a golf ball. You get a feel for it over time. But once you stand up on the fastest part of the shoulder as you ride, it feels almost spiritual. You’re one with nature.

" It took me about four years before I got a sense for where to be to catch a wave" Now I don't feel so alone LOL
I've watched thousands of surf tutorial videos (literally) and this channels videos are always the most helpful. Thank you so much for constantly improving my surfing, keep up the uploads!
👍
Thank you for the attention to detail, hidden steps.. makes a big difference!
Thanks, @Sanath Gb !!
wow...this is the first video that actually comments on the hidden step i.e. cobra pose. thank you for sharing this fantastic video.
This is gold!! Not even with personal classes they tell you this
I love this channel. Cheers from Brazil!
You are so right. Hidden step indeed.
This video was extremely helpful! So many other videos miss the hidden detail, thank you!!
Your content is awesome. I hope to see more frequent uploads :)
thanks for the advices 🙏!
Thanks. This is a good video.
Excellent video! I was missing the cobra lean step! Can’t wait to get in the water and give it a rip! Thank you!
Epic, glad we could help in some way. Enjoy the waves. 🙌🏽
Great videos, always re-watch how to catch a green wave before a surf trip ;)
So i tried this on my session today and it workd! When I remembere to look, trust my pop up and "lean" on the cobra pose, no rush or better, to the rithm of the wave. Sometimes i see of the wave is steep enough i can get away with angling by paddling at catching. When is less steep and less powerful i usually have more time and so the lean on the cobra pose gives that sense of "control" and a "pause", to look and remain calm looking at where i want to go and do. Thanks! Keep them coming!
Always kool to see a barefoot surf upload..)
thanks for the help
Another awesome vid! Greetings from Bali, youre helping me alot haja
Thanks for you many excellent videos. Note: pectorals, not pectorials.
Wow thank you
Cobra pose is the Easter egg of new surfers.
Great video!
Great stuff 🤙
Thank you for this great video 🙏🏻 our beaches are currently closed due to chemical contamination from a factory fire but as soon as I can get back in the surf I will be putting this to practice!!!!
Lettuce pick up beach trash 🙊
This is amazing! Thanks so much!
Thankyou! Glad we could help. 🙌🏽
Excelente, gracias!!!!
helpful 🏄♀️
Pura Vida 🤙🏽🇨🇷
Unbelievable video! You are by far the best surfing couches in the web! Love your channel, So thank you for that
didnt know couches could surf
thanks for data
Could we get a video about catching waves on short boards? ( using the technique where you push your board inside the water)
Nice! I would just add one additional tip: to get a bit of extra speed, before the hidden step, paddle a bit with your feet ;) Notice that this is only possible in short boards :)
Cobra pose is amazing. The surfer who made it popular among other surfers was Robert Weaver aka Wingnut.
The “power” of it is that Cobra Pose not only allows you to take a glance or peek at what side is wave starting to break but helps you execute any pop up technique. It serves as a pre step to actually pop up.
Hello ! I love your channel ! Thank you for your video. I don't speak really good english so is it possible to activate the subtitles for this video ? Thanks !
Thanks a lot! But at 2:13, when the surfer is paddling at 5 km/h at 45º, it is equivalent of paddling about 3,53km/h in the wave's direction, and not 2,5 km/h (do sin 45º equals adjacent side divided by hypotenuse to get the perpendicular component of the vector). Besides, I apreciate very much all your videos. Aloha
Hi Vitor, we took a look at the maths and yes, you are correct! Thank you for clarifying the surfer's comparative speed. We've trimmed out that small section to avoid any confusion, and will adjust our future tutorials :) .
Makes so much sense in theory. I recorded my pop up and no matter what I do it seems impossible to get my legs up in place without my hips going above my head for an instant. Is this a flexibility issue?
Do you have tips for the no paddle,late take off technique?
Increíble
I have a wave storm, been surfing for a couple months now.. I've gone the last 10-12 weekends in a row to places like North Zuma and Bolsa Chica. I've been skateboarding for almost 20 years and was even sponsored in high school (So I am a bit more equipped than the average beginner). I have finally been catching my first green waves and improving on my paddle form, but when the waves are above 4-5ft, and I try to catch them on my 8ft Wavestorm, I get absolutely smoked from nose diving or falling forward. People on reddit are saying it's because the waves are not peeling so I should go at more of an angle, but I have been anticipating for some time it might be because my board is just too long. However, most people telling me to not get a short board yet.... when I ride my 8ft.. let's say white water.. I can ride it all the way in and even switch stances from goofy to regular ( I skate a lot of switch) and feel myself wanting to turn.. But I don't have the $$$ to make a mistake a buy the wrong board... hoping for some advice here! all the best
You need this: th-cam.com/video/4GcoDRh2Ti0/w-d-xo.html
Start catching the wave earlier. The wave storm can easily handle 4-5 ft. Maybe move up on the board and catch the wave earlier. Not when it's at stage C. Start paddling at the peak between A and B.
Watch jamie O'brien surf pipeline on a 9ft board. Yours definitely isn't too big you either need to paddle harder or arch your back more.
I find wavestorms great for learning to pop up in white waves but tough for green waves due to their shape. People who do catch larger waves on big boards do come at larger angles but I noticed it's easier to catch green waves on a real board even long boards. See if you can demo a board at your local shop.
When the waves get bigger you need to set your rail faster. You can do this by catching the wave earlier then set rail, angle more when paddling so your rail sets while paddling, or go straight for a bottom turn to engage the rail.
Excellent video as always.
Just one tip: it’s “pectorals”, not “pectorials”. 😄
Why is the feet up in the scorpion position while hes paddling?
To get a better balance/control over the board/paddling. Steady legs makes easier compared to often, beginner having legs more open and moving sideways, which makes the board also move sideways and you lose speed and control.
There are only 3 syllables in pectoral--and no "i". Just sayin'! Solid tips though!
It’s pectorals! 😂
*pectorals
It's pectorALS
Thanks 😊
@@barefoot_surf Great videos sorry for my pedantic moment!
