man youre so generous with your knowledge. i've learned a hell of a lot from your videos. spent today trying out a potential new board first non soft top 7'3 21'' 2 7/8'' old style funboard on wind blown mush in NW Donegal Ireland and wondering whether i'm ready for it. came to youtube and it was like fate you've uploaded this as an answer to all of my questions. cheers dude!
Way to go brother Nate. Thanks for dropping all the mental nuggets. You have a wealth of knowledge in that intelligent mind. Stay blessed .
So talented, yet so humble. Love this guy and his family/friends. A breath of fresh air for so many Florida and California wanna be's "locals". The guy is better than 99% of the surfers in the world, yet talks like he is your best friend and wants you to succeed. I think if all surfers were following this folks (Florence, Koa , Eli) people would see that being friendly to one another on the water is way better than fighting for waves and "playing the local, look at me I own this place"
That magical combo of being able to paddle, duck dive, and surf the board. At age 62 & 135 lbs mine is a 5-6 32 liter Evo 5 fins.
Air brush is key 2 picking a perfect board. Forget length and volume its all about the airbrush
Dude !!! Thank you so much ! This is what I needed , every question I have you’ve nailed . This is very informative for beginners like me who have been beginning for two years . I’m grateful . I’ve been blowing money left and right and wondering why I can’t figure this out . Thank you
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on board construction, tail template, and fin size. Would love to hear you break down pros and cons of different amounts of rocker and rail thickness as well.
Wow fantastic love this, your taking your channel to a whole new level Nate. A lot on this channel might have been to young to know that Clark foam was being shut down and so it was hard as heck to get boards for accouple years and that where a lot of the other board materials come from. Zoard was ripping it up send me that link to his NFT line. Great job :O) sent Zoard some info look in to it.
Sick man this video is JUST what I need!!! I took 1 surf lesson, and been out there 3 other times just learning by myself and watching your videos hahaha. I started on hard top though, the shop I went to rent didn't have any soft tops left! Was a 9ft hardtop longboard.
I am really digging it so thanx for the perfect video!
Another great video. Wish I had this 25 years ago. Thanks for all the info.
Thanks so much for this vid and thanks for discussing what people starting out should do and what boards are the better option to them. Cheers.
Hey Nate man, love your channel keep it going! Chuffed to catch this vid so early - I’m constantly catching up on your older pipe videos. My picks are wildcard Medina for Pro G-Land, and our laddie John John Florence for WSL 2022 !!
Your dad knows the size of the board when he has it in his hand! Legend!!
Thank you so much for the insight into all the trade-offs of the different materials, tails, lengths, etc. This was very educational. Even though I'm a kneeboarder (shout out to Alan "Buddy" McCray legend that lives at Backyards who shapes my boards. This was very educational for me. Like KaiBorg says, stay humble, stay teachable. Aloha Nathan!
Could you do a video for intermediate surfers regarding progression of maneuvers? Would love to hear if you have any insights on going from basic bottom turn / top turns to blow tails, carves, cutbacks, etc.
Great informative new format. Very helpful for surfers, which Im not, so I miss the cats:)
quality info. Thanks, Nathan. this is so great.
Great info in this video. Thank you for sharing the knowledge from your experience, priceless! I think Filipe Toledo gets another win at the Oi Rio Pro & John John gets the title this year
Nate! mate you should invest on a little mic setup there, overall top level as usual. thanks very much for putting the time! Regards
Always with 🔥 content Nate! I got your bro winning it all this year.
absolute legend! Thanks so much man
Thats a realy good Video,
I learned surfing on 7,0 softtop and it took a while longer to get good on it but still i did it one summer and thats such a good Feeling!
Love your videos Nathan! Thanks for all the knowledge you drop on this channel! My pick for the winner of the WSL: John John Florence
Right on! Good pick!
perfect timing for this video. I'm buying my first ever brand new board and I need help knowing what designs do what. best board I've ever surfed was a 6'2 swallow tail thruster, but I've used other swallow tails and didn't have the same effect
My pick for the upcoming event is of course John John Florence
To summerize here's my understanding + sensei Nate inputs :
Small waves (weak and slow) = flatter rocker, wide tail for speed, squash for release, round for drive, big fins and whatever construction suits you, PU, EPS, Carbon...,
Big waves (fast and powerful) = agressive rocker, thinner tail (cuz wave has enough power and you want control), pin tail for the control, small fins and PU numéro uno, overall winner because of its predictable inertia, EPS until too big (7'faces) or too bumpy,
In any ways, foam is our friend and we better go over litered, to maximize wave count,
Thanks for reading my Tedtalk sensei haha :)
Love the vids, Nate, keep em coming. I'm just a beginner using the 8' wavestorm that seems to be universally recommended. So far so good, need a few more months, maybe 1 year on it. Then I'd consider like you said going to the 7'0" - 7'6" range. For a smaller, lighter person such as myself does the higher volume play as much of a factor if I don't carry a lot of weight myself? Would I be ok with less volume in that sense? I'm like 140 lb soaking wet for reference.
Great video Nate. Are you able to do a tips and tricks video on barrel riding? Specifically backside? Who better to learn from than you and your brothers, Koa and Eli.
So Sick, Love the Content Nate and how you pop up in WSL live chats to say hello from time to time. My pick for 2022 World Champion is Felipe Toledo and Winner of 2022 CT Event at G Land is John John Florence 🌊🔥🤙🏽🔥🌊🤙🏽
Hey Nate would love to see you talk about Big wave boards, future designs like step decks etc..
Sorry Filipe, our boy JJ representing all of us here on Hawaii get ‘em buu 🤙
Hey Nate, love your videos!
My pick for the upcoming event is Gabriel Medina
Keep it real
Killer lesson N8. Thanks 🙏🤘
I surf folly beach SC, I am 6'1" 215 lbs and I use a 6 ft catch surf log for any and all conditions, that or something like it is my fave. Pretty floaty for my size and can turn . As a beginner it was great cause it was buoyant but its also small enough to challenge me and still challenges me especially on bigger days. I specifically wanted to learn on a short board and after surfing consitantly since about January of this year I am just now, in May, catching waves on the 6' sorta kinda.
Hi Nathan, i really enjoyed this vid. Just an amature with a fraction of water time but ive had many poly and eps performance boards. Ive noticed with the same volume my eps boards are way more floaty and paddle easier. I wonder if shaving .5 to 1 litre of volume on your next eps board would make it more predictable like a poly. My thinking is the eps def gives it more float regardless of volume. Would be cool to see if shaving a little literage makes the board more stable under a pro.
I am a big fan nate as you know - Am an oldie so not looking for your giveaway thank you but 30 years ago wouldve pleaded for a lid anything but man how things change. Additionally really respect how you treat John John and refer to his tips/tricks regularly cause he the man!! #chicken #tapout 3-4 foot NZ lol
You're a G thanks man
I think the overall winner will be Felipe. Love your videos as well. Super informative.
Thanks Nate, this is just what i needed as a newb
Glad i could help boss
Awesome video Nathan, and great insight into the performance of the different materials, exactly the info I was searching for ATM. I am playing around with epoxy boards with a stringer for slabs in Sydney, though I snapped the one I had made in Fiji before I got to try it here in Sydney. Just got another one made and am waiting for a swell to try it out. Fingers crossed it goes well.
I agree with you on the quad fin set-up that slides around until the side fins take control. I noticed on Kelly's board review on Inta that he has Knub fin in one of his quads and said that assists in stiffening that area up. Have you experimented with a Knub to stiffen the area up? And if so, can you recommend one? Cheers, Caleb
Griff wins gland that back hand 🤚 and wave selection pretty spicy
I just bought my first proper board, pyzel gremlin 6’3, cos my foamie was fucked and i knew that if i bought another id want a poly within a couple months. So yeah i now have the ultimate summer small wave machine for years to come. I’m in the UK so a board that can really make the most of sloppy waves and make it past foamy sections is really important so i spoke to a couple board shops and they recommended a groveller style board about 40L and my height. But i have exams so I haven’t surfed in 3 months and wont til July, could be a tough first week back
Nate! You are a legend. Love your channel and all the knowledge you are constantly dropping on us!
I had ankle surgery a bit ago. What are some ways to help the ankle on land to help be back to normal in the water.
Im going with John John Florence for the WSL Title.
Where do we enter the contest?
Thanks for the tips legend, in wich publication do I have to comment for the board giveaway? This same video or ig?
Please can you give a breakdown of what size boards go with what size fins
My understanding was:
Large fins = 6'0" and smaller
Mediums 6'0 to ??
Smalls = 8'0 and bigger
You are so sick man. I love your vids
Thanks bro, perfect timing
I love my 6'0 35 L epoxy. surf it in everything here in florida. from knee high to 10ft.
The step between using a longboard wirh a lot of volume and then seitching to a smaller board is the hardest. Longboards wirh a lot of volume kinda stress me out way too much because i cant duck dive or at least try and just get taken out all the time. When I started surfing I started surfing smaller boards pretty quickly. I think that worked out because I can do pretty much all board sports pretty good and am very fit as well. The paddling was the hardest part though and I was sore af all day every day 😂💕
sick video bro 💪
Been fighting this battle for a long time now, always trying to ride something smaller than I probably should; thanks for breaking it down for a novice \|||/
Definitely going to look into epoxy for my next board
JJ has my vote for WSL 2022
Thanks for the content and knowledge, keep sharing for us : )
Hey Nate, really helpful Video! Most often I only hear volume being discussed. How should the length of board be chosen in relation to height (Iˋm 6‘2 and 165 pounds)? I feel like most boards with the appropriate volume for me turn out to be rather short like 5‘9 or 5‘10. What do you think?
ive noticed the light boards being harder to hold onto in a duckdive too. a little extra weight makes a big difference.
but arent the bigger boards harder to push down?
@@meegssan5716 yes but they don't shake in your hands as much
El Salv finals bet is same as you. Felipe Toledo and Caroline marks
Awesome contest!
but I did learn on a thruster I can't surf logs or fun boards I dunno why.. but in 10 years I still struggle to carve n do good turns, I can go cross the wave and up n down and a little cut back but I have no idea how I get spray off a top turn
Love you so great 👍
My pick is Gabriel. Great video thanks.
Very informative. GO JOHN at the WSL!!!!!
Great info!
Filipe and Stephanie for El Salvador! Now that your brother’s out, I’m hoping Filipe finally takes it all. If not Filipe, I’d like to see Robinson on top!
My WSL pick for gland:John John overall: Toledo! stoked to be entered in this give away! waialua represent
Would be interesting to hear your take on epoxy glassed PU if you get a chance to ride one. Could that be the best of both worlds for your pipe boards? Durability, flex, weight. Especially if you go with s-glass for added strength?
Thanks for the in depth video analysis. Really enjoying these!
An aside for those who aren't into shaping and glassing technology, blanks are usually polyurethane (PU) or polystyrene (EPS). PU can be glassed with polyester resin or epoxy, but EPS can only be glassed with epoxy (polyester resin melts EPS). EPS is higher strength per weight than PU, so that is why people say "epoxy is lighter than poly": can make a lighter board with EPS + epoxy. Epoxy over PU is less common, so everyone calls EPS boards "epoxy". Most glassing uses e-glass cloth as reinforcement, but s-glass is a better match with epoxy in terms of strength (but more expensive). Epoxy resin is stronger than polyester resin, (but more expensive).
Man I was hoping someone would throw that info out there.
So many variables when it comes to materials. Like you said there is core/foam material , cloth materials and then resin to think about.
Also many of these EPS boards are of the stringer-less variety. Stringer-less is going to give the rider a completely different feel and flex pattern with the shaper relying on the rail or some kind of fibre stringer for energy distribution, not to mention there will be a little more weight missing. Would be interesting to see Nate testing out a basalt/hemp hybrid fibre on his beloved eps/epoxy step ups. He could be just that one step away from big pipe perfection
@@ManOfSauce Yes many variables to play with. I'm guilty of geeking out on this stuff, as I started shaping my own boards the last couple years. I actually have one in the pipeline now that will get basalt cloth (definitely tricky to glass as the dark fiber shows everything!)...
But ignoring the esoteric stuff, epoxy on PU should be straightforward for most shapers/glassers to do and combine that stability and flex of PU with greater durability in those applications where a bit of weight is desirable. That's the theory anyway, would be interesting to hear if that works for someone as dialed in as Nathan. For me, upgrading to s-glass has been easy also. For anyone interested, AndrewW is doing a PU epoxy mid length build on his TH-cam channel.
Nate I just yesterday saw your podcast with Big Bert "The Machiiiiine!" form last year! lol 😀 95-99% of his questions he had for you, I could've answer on your behalf! lol Just because of how much I've learned watching you and the gang! PS... If anyone hasn't watched comedian Joe List yet. Go Check him out! HILARIOUS! He has 2 shows on TH-cam! Enjoy!
Hey Nate, Ive been surfing for a while now but still struggle to pop up a lot. I always feel unbalanced and struggle to get the power of the wave behind me (I usually get dumped or the wave goes underneath me). Any tips for popping up in particular with on shore winds?
fried level >9000
will a carbon board ding if it hits a rock or piece of coral when you're riding it?
I always like this your videos and the way your'e expressing your thoughts 💝
And I done all the tasks & wanted to buy like this one..🤩
And I want to grow like you by getting this Giveaway Gift..❤️
All the best :)
Unfortunately it seems to me a lot of people might be too subconscious to use a beginner board which is really sad. When i was starting out i would see other locals at same level as me on shortboards and struggling really bad to even pop up and catch one wave in 3 hour session. 6 months down the track I’ve now progressed to fibreglass from my soft-top and can ride shorter 7’ fibreglass boards fine. A soft top is an excellent part of any surfers quiver especially for small days or messing around.
Nathan thank you 😃🤙
What do you think about the Shadow vs the Pyzelien 2?
i surf huntington beach 1-3 times a week with a few diffrent boards all diffrent leters and i struggle to find the perfect volume
Thanks!
so im 5'11 155 lbs. my shortboard currently is 5'9. I find because im kinda skinny its hard to get a low enough volume in a 5'11. Would you say 5'9 is ok for a hpsb or should i stretch it out into a 5'10 or 11?
John John was my #1 pick for GLand, but social media is pushing me towards Italo. John John wins it all though 🤙🏻
Hindsight, don’t trust me for your picks haha
Nate, does Puerto Rico count as “in” the United States?
My pick for the 2022 WSL world champion is Gabriel Medina, and for the El Salvador event is Felipe Toledo
A log is a beginner's best friend.
Yessir
Love from India bro. I wish I really need a board. Here there is no access to buy because no scope for surfing at my place. ✌️
First
Overall JJF and next WSL event Robo….
Thank you again mad respect 🙏
I'm here Nathan I'll try to get the 60 by Friday ok 👍 thank you again 🙏 wow I am blessed mad respect 🙏
I'm a kinda lonely and old now so I'm sorry for all the messages ok oh I'm a painter like your pops hopefully the owner will be back Friday or my check on the 31st will promise ✌omg wow mad respect 🙏
The best surfers are hockey players just like skiers snowboarding. Ppl from Canada that know how to walk on ice with balance make best surfers its natural for them.
Hi I am French so sorry if I make mistakes I am not very good in English ^^. The WSL winner for me will be Filipe Toledo because of the lead he has in terms of points and the good form he shows even if I would like John John Florence to win but he would have to do some good performances and Toledo would have to miss for him to go ahead. For the women I would say Johanne Defay because she is French and makes very good rankings in the last events. Good luck to all and have a good day. I would like to know if it is possible to ship it from the USA to France or not?
Gotta go with John John Flo to take the cake and win it all at WSL!
I ride a 6'8" squash & 6'10" rnd. pin tail × 2 3/8" epoxies at 6'6". What's the best food for after surfing to gain weight back?
Mahalo.
YOYOYO!!!! Cheers Man!! G-land winner will be Italo an Tatiana. Wsl champion for 2022 will be Filipe and Carrisa ;)
Another WSL title for JJF this year!
Felipe Toledo, and Stephanie Gilmore winning El Salvador
What does "Is it Reputable" mean? Please explain?
Hey Nate, Im 6’1 220lbs and my old 5’10 high performance board just aint cutting it anymore for me. What size do you recommend for me to get back into these kind of boards?
size 32 would be a good start
I'm a similar size to you (6'2 210lbs), I'd say get on a 6'1 with 33.5/34 liters.
Pick for GLand: Italo! This guy is insane!
I think because he is your brother John john florence will win the quicksilver pro
John John for WSL 2022!
