100% agree with you Kale! It is the best place for surfing progression, i have caught more waves in 1 year then in 10 years. Trying to to goto the beach from Melbourne when you get time, getting the right conditions then having the confidence to mix it with people that are good surfers becomes a self perpetuating way to go backwards in surfing, URBNSURF is exactly the opposite and has helped my surfing and enjoyment of it so much and gives me confidence to go into the ocean. Love your videos!

Loved the video! I've surfed The Wave in Bristol (UK) multiple times now and you are *so* right about the opportunity for surfers to progress. They have a setting they call the Waikiki wave that's designed to "bounce" off the wall, then, instead of running straight to the beach, goes diagonally across towards the bottom of the pier section. This gives a lovely, rolling, easy to catch unbroken wave which is perfect for getting used to popping up and starting to put turns together. I was there a few days ago and it was the best surfing session I've ever had, because, whilst going to Croyde in North Devon is lovely, you never know what the next wave is going to be like, but in the pool, you can be certain that it will be just like the last one, so you don't have to worry about where the peak will be or if it will close out on you. That leaves you free to concentrate on getting up and looking through the turns and I could really feel how my surfing had progressed! PS I've also learned lots of great stuff from your videos too, keep up the great work :-)
Weird people who give such informative and fun videos such as this a thumbs down. First time I've seen a Kale Brock vid and I really enjoyed it. Just wish I was young enough and fit enough to go and enjoy a world class attraction, (bout bloody time), in my home town.
100%. I have 30 years surfing experience and have watched a lot of videos and there is nothing out there as good as this for beginners, or even, imo, as enjoyable as this for any surfer. Kale's love of waves and people comes through very well.
You could go talk to your local shaper. Rounded square is for all round surfing Round tail is for island waves Rounded pin is for big waves Square tails like to pop out of the water on a top turn Swallow/fish tail holds the board onto the wave Everything else is just experimental.
I really admire your thoughtfulness and consideration given to those learning how to surf. I would love to see you bring a larger class here and see how they all progress!
I surf UrbnSurf like every week, my surfing has progressed so much. I actually get more waves in an hour than I would spending 3 hours down the coast..
As an old snowboarder who was able to ride just about anything I say Surfing is much harder to learn and become proficient. I would love to be able to practice surfing here. I think you could progress so much quicker! Id teach surfers to snowboard and they were pretty good after a week! Unfortunately going from a snowboard to a surfboard took me several days to just catch and ride a wave consistently . It took me a month of living the beach and surfing every day to just become decent, make turns, etc.
Im designing a wave trainer. It is just for teaching the basic movement of pumping down the wave. The basic movement that is hard to learn in the wild. The learner will get on the trainer, get the motion down with help by a pro, then go out surfing with a teacher that gets them into the wall of the wave so the learner now just replicates the motion. I suspect a athletic person can learn to surf in one day!
Another great vid. Thank you. Good to see my local break 'Point Concrete' getting some rave reviews. I'm curious about your boards. Also I'm struggling with my back hand tube riding like a lot of surfers. I'd love to see you do a tutorial on this area.
Hello, kale actually needs to work on his a bit more, to make it easier to stall and fit in the barrels, face ur body more towards the exit then the shore
one Wavegarden will open in Switzerland next april. I could see that as my gym but with swiss entry prices, it won't be possible despite all other combinations offered. For comparison, entry ticket for one hour intermediate is 129 swiss francs. I bought a 5 entries pass to give me an idea and I will see
Kale not watched it all the way through yet only just past 8 mins but got to comment! You were smashing that intermediate level. Ripping so much spray off those turns 💪💥🤙
This is a very well done video, commentary, production, editing. Thank you! Wave Pools? Whew, deep (shallow?) subject, pros and cons, pricey and less soulful, but looks like it advances your surfing at an accelerated pace, not waiting on wind and swell, so............we're evolving. Old SoCal guy here, so I'm biased. Thanks again, straight up assessment from your crew.
Love the joint. 6am Advanced Turns setting the past 4 weeks, a few Intermediate sessions prior and one Advanced. Hasn't been a great season on the surf coast. Of the couple of rounds trips I did do to Torquay, one took 3.5hrs return with the Westgate roadworks and cost me $200odd for going 10 over.
The setting looks almost identical to ‘the wave’ in Bristol UK. However, the water is 6 degrees in the water night now. But like you say we are all addicted need to get are fix somehow lol
5:04 Nah man. I’m a kook from Ohio and was fortunate to live in Dubai for three years. My Ozzie mates put me into Wadi Adventure’s pool on expert mode and I just picked it up through great coaching and a ton of fun wipeouts.
Hey mate, would you say take a higher volume PU for buoyancy? Ive got an advanced turns booked next week on my forehand (bobby quad), and Advanced on my backhand, and for this session I was thinking either my Pyzel Ghost or slightly higher volume BlackBox 3 Swallow. I did just get a JS Xero with more volume than both of those but unsure what to take. I also paid for advanced board hire aswell. Old boy been surfing for a long time but don't want waste my sessions surfing the wrong equipment given the price 😊. Im quite a bigger framed bloke aswell. Any tips on a board to grab from the urban surf racks for my backside Advanced sesh? I promise I wont hold a grudge if it doesn't work out haha Just curious if a Rnd pintail sits any different in the face in fresh water? Much love from South Oz Surfer 🤙(or should I just grab some suitable shapes in Epoxy from their racks for more float)?
I'm not really a fan of wave pools. I've never been to one. I hear they're really expensive. But a lot of things are pretty expensive I guess. I often take a bag and pick up trash at the beach, people leave things and stuff washes up especially after a rain. From what I've seen, surfboards last pretty much forever. I use a deck pad and that also lasts forever which means less wax. When I use the right temperature wax, it stays on for months. I don't think much of it washes away, it seems to stay on and just turn brown or black over time. I'll change it and usually throw away what's about a golf ball size of old wax. I don't know if it can be used for something or recycled. When a wetsuit no longer fits, it can be sold and they wear out really slowly lasting as long as 10 years if you repair the seams . Also, there is recycling of them for many things around the house. The material is very useful for home repairs and insulation. A lot of people have this idea that surfers waste a lot of fossil fuel based resources. If I drive to the beach it is often going to or returning from other errands or work. Surfers don't typically put their old suits or broken surf boards in the land fill. This is a myth. The vast majority of old surfboards are on walls or in people's garages waiting for a upcoming beginner to use. There's not a lot of people where I surf, so I don't pay to park and I walk and ride a bike sometimes. The waves are free here and there's no carbon footprint in the actual act of surfing in the ocean, at least not that I know of. When beachcombers come up to me and ask about the carbon footprint, I will explain these things to them. I will mention that If it is carbon footprint which they're looking for, to try the war business.
That's a deep seeded aversion to bodyboarding saying that they were taking the first ones because the last ones are "harder to ride" ..no one wants the last ones of the set if you have surfed the expert session. The reason bodyboarders would rather miss a turn to get pick of the next set is because of the air-section. The last waves of the set aren't harder to ride for spongers, they just don't offer a hollow barrel and the option to hit a big lip. The expert sessions always have more bodyboarders than the other tiers, why would they pay more to end up on a wave more akin to advanced? It ends up being a good trade cause the stand-ups out get a couple extra waves when the boogers miss a turn - no need to diss em, unless you just didn't consider that they are looking for different things.
He wasn't dissing bodyboarders, he was just painting a picture for everyone, which is the wave quality of the last waves in the set is low enough that bodyboarders give it a miss. Having never surfed the pool myself, him pointing this out makes me understand how much lower in quality the last waves must be to the first waves.
@@Indonesiansurftravel ah yep, I re watched it and his tone wasn't as harsh as I thought the first time, and the way he said "the bodyboarders were loving it" afterward was super optimistic. Thanks for pointing that out to me, I was actually thinking it seemed out of character cause the rest of the video was very well balanced.
Hi Kale, great video. Would you mind helping me out? I am going to surf the pool next month. I am an intermediate regular 42-year-old surfer. I intend to surf both intermediate and advanced sessions left and right in two days I think. What sequence would you recommend? Left intermediate and left advanced on day one? Or do both intermediates on day one? First front side or back side?
Hi I’m a TH-cam student of yours from Louisiana in the US lol i love your videos and have learned so much just from watching you here!! I know this is an old video but I’m just curious have you surfed surf lakes surf park yet?? If so would you do a video on it?? I wanna come down so bad and try it out myself!!
TBH the intermediate looked like the best /most fun wave. The expert/advanced was 2 turns and a barrel. The intermediate was 3-5 turns. You were ripping those intermediate lefts.
Great video well done, have surfed intermediate old and new much prefer the new setting. Have surfed advanced got completely lit up on the take off and hit the bottom. Worked out I was too far behind the flag marker, got pitted straight down. Ouch. Got barrels after making an adjustment moving in closer. Did you meet the bottom at all, any advice for advanced barrels.
Looks awesome ,we are about to get one in Perth 2025,, I used to surf quite a lot in my younger years..I used to surf fairly decent size waves , down in the south west etc ..I haven't surfed for 25 + years now , but I reckon I might have to see if I can still do it :) try out the advance waves ..
how shallow is the concrete bottom when surfing? when they change the settings do they change the bottom contour or just change the size and frequency? Thanks
hey uhh kale im a 12 yr old boy and i lovveeee surfing and have caught a few 5-6ft waves before but now im scared for 3 foot waves and need advice Please help
@@SolsaRock have a buddy to surf with and push you, if you’re fit and a decent surfer you should be able to tackle anything up to 5 foot ( I judge waves a whole lot bigger, my 5 is probs ur 8) , but try to surf a board about 3 inches bigger than ur normal board with a stable tail and just send it. The only way ur gonna get into good waves is by committing and full send, because if you don’t you’re never gonna do it. Just be prepared for it and go out of your comfort zone. (Within reason)
hey kale, I am Archie from Cronulla and I am finding that I am losing balance through turns, I am also finding that I am extending to early in my bottom turns, do you have any tips on to improve these 2 things? (look at my TH-cam channel if you want to see clips)
Expert takeoff looked like it's a simple grab rail, back hand ,pig dog style type of wave. My local gets much heavier and this always works for me on backhand.
We might be getting a similar wave pool (perhaps not the comprehensive training programs) in Fort Pierce, Florida, of all places. It's reasonably near a modest break at an inlet jetty that's more or less at capacity. No prospect for a new inlet. Nor for our bit of the Atlantic to generate more waves. Could we please get nice Australian architecture? Being Florida, I can imagine a whole bunch of "Mediterranean" stucco.
Hi there im thinking of makeing this type of venue for Brisbane...iv got a friend who usded to desighn theam parks and now dose big commercial projects like this surf center...he might be able to help...and ile eventually be going to Florida and getting him to do work there too...just a possibility.
@@Heavens-Humanaterian-Army The US real estate developer (with another project in South Carolina) seems reasonably sophisticated. What I'm seeing from the UK is that training coordinated with wave pool can work (haven't visited, but Rob Barber's Bodyboard Holidays business out of Newquay suggests a lot of good sense in terms of combining beach and wave pool training, and developing training methods. Of course Florida is terrible in terms of access to actual waves. As for the US projects, they're subject to finding backers and the vagaries of the market. Right now, plain ordinary housing is selling fast, so why bother with attractions?
We need one in every state that experienced setting with the offshore could of been indo I been getting into gellsoft for my fix when the waves are of no value or crew takes out the fun love the content
Amazing video Kale, like always!!! I wish someday not to faar we are going to have the same waves here in Perú. Ohh and how much does it cost per session?
Hi all can anyone tell me if this type of sports venue is up here in Queensland....and if not how many people would like there to be one similar to this in Brisbane.(yes I know there's an experimental pond that's never going to be for public usage...and yes I ment basically this park but a bit prettier mayby ..not just another wet and wild or wave pool for swimmers...strictly for surfing and body boarders)
Yo kale I surfed a punchy break at a 5-6ft now there is 8-9ft I’m not gonna have my friend to surf with. I feel I have the skill for double overhead I don’t seam mentally prepared should I go out
Trying to progress in surfing is challenging, and this solves the problem. Most people spend the majority of their time paddling and waiting for waves. Only a fraction is spent actually surfing. If I catch 24 waves, and each ride lasts 5 seconds, I'm only surfing 2 minutes. Ridiculous. Skiing is the opposite because people ride ski lifts. No world cup skier hikes for turns while training. If I had the money, I would be getting lessons at this facility every few days.
If I signed up for an intermediate session and then realised after a couple of waves that the cruiser session was better for me, is it too late to swap out? Im not really sure where I’d fit and I dont want to waste that kind of money and time choosing the wrong level.
100% agree with you Kale! It is the best place for surfing progression, i have caught more waves in 1 year then in 10 years.

I like the side by side setting comparison. Gives prospective surfers a good idea of the settings.
This is so rad to see people put development into making waves. Yet still the beauty of the natural wave is something to behold.

Can you make a vid explaining the difference in what each tail type of a surfboard does
Check out surf simply's channel. They did multiple videos covering board design that was pretty informative.

That looks so fun!!!
Love the video explaining the different settings!!
Looks like looks like looks like so much fun fun fun and thank you for sharing...

Some very distinct differences between the wave categories for sure. A great spot for the learner to spend a couple of days🤙

Did the quality of the wave change depending on which wave of the set it was?
A little.
Good question.

Next trip to OZ, will swing south to Melbourne and after surfing ulladulla, will check this out!
did he used boards with more volume than his normal boards ecause of the less bouyancy? or just adjusted himself to it?

Did u get to try the air setting at all? i feel that the wave is missing this.
Nah they need to reinforce the pool to do it

Do you notice a difference in the buoyancy of the fresh water?
U had such a sick 1st turn on your short board, 1 minute in
What type of grass is that around the pool ?
Hey Kale , weldone mate, but I think you needed a Neckbeard2 single thru, great for soft waves and for the ramping it up.
Love your show
I reckon the thing that made beast mode hard to make the backhand barrels was, its simply not big enough
It’s definitely big enough but yeah the bigger the barrel the easier the make
Expert takeoff looked like it's a simple grab rail, back hand ,pig dog style type of wave. My local gets much heavier and this always works for me on backhand.
Is it really better than the lakes wave. Doesn't look like it
We might be getting a similar wave pool (perhaps not the comprehensive training programs) in Fort Pierce, Florida, of all places. It's reasonably near a modest break at an inlet jetty that's more or less at capacity. No prospect for a new inlet. Nor for our bit of the Atlantic to generate more waves. Could we please get nice Australian architecture? Being Florida, I can imagine a whole bunch of "Mediterranean" stucco.
Hi there im thinking of makeing this type of venue for Brisbane...iv got a friend who usded to desighn theam parks and now dose big commercial projects like this surf center...he might be able to help...and ile eventually be going to Florida and getting him to do work there too...just a possibility.
@@Heavens-Humanaterian-Army The US real estate developer (with another project in South Carolina) seems reasonably sophisticated. What I'm seeing from the UK is that training coordinated with wave pool can work (haven't visited, but Rob Barber's Bodyboard Holidays business out of Newquay suggests a lot of good sense in terms of combining beach and wave pool training, and developing training methods. Of course Florida is terrible in terms of access to actual waves.
As for the US projects, they're subject to finding backers and the vagaries of the market. Right now, plain ordinary housing is selling fast, so why bother with attractions?
Is this a good venue to learn SUP surfing
2 questions. What are the senior tee times at this place and can you dig real American surf music?
Looks fun for a regular foot. I still think the Wave Ranch has them all beat by a long shot. The left looks really rippable 🤙🔱
Those Aussies know how to have fun
where's the energy from? is that free?
Also time for covid to F-off so I can finally fly over and try this out!
If ur on northern beaches, which I am and I had a whole day planned there, it got ruined by Covid-19
How much/long for an expert session dude?
We need one in every state that experienced setting with the offshore could of been indo I been getting into gellsoft for my fix when the waves are of no value or crew takes out the fun love the content

Great video.

Website - more accuracy and longevity there (if I put up prices and then they changed it’s an issue)
@@KalesBroccoli How many session did you have over the week and did you get a discount for a "bulk buy"? Great review, thanks very much.

Do the extra paddle :)
When are you or have you been to Yeppoon?
Amazing video Kale, like always!!! I wish someday not to faar we are going to have the same waves here in Perú. Ohh and how much does it cost per session?
Thank you so much mate! Price Depends on the session - check the website for more permanent info!
Hi all can anyone tell me if this type of sports venue is up here in Queensland....and if not how many people would like there to be one similar to this in Brisbane.(yes I know there's an experimental pond that's never going to be for public usage...and yes I ment basically this park but a bit prettier mayby ..not just another wet and wild or wave pool for swimmers...strictly for surfing and body boarders)
Yo kale I surfed a punchy break at a 5-6ft now there is 8-9ft I’m not gonna have my friend to surf with. I feel I have the skill for double overhead I don’t seam mentally prepared should I go out
Step by step. Only you know the answer
So when is the surf camp down there? I'm in! Looks soooo good.

Trying to progress in surfing is challenging, and this solves the problem. Most people spend the majority of their time paddling and waiting for waves. Only a fraction is spent actually surfing. If I catch 24 waves, and each ride lasts 5 seconds, I'm only surfing 2 minutes. Ridiculous. Skiing is the opposite because people ride ski lifts. No world cup skier hikes for turns while training. If I had the money, I would be getting lessons at this facility every few days.
o boy kale that is so sick my folks have just moved to east london south africa you must see the sets of wave in east london totally gnarly bra
power psyching on one opening here in California one day!
Do you have waves for bodyboard
If I signed up for an intermediate session and then realised after a couple of waves that the cruiser session was better for me, is it too late to swap out? Im not really sure where I’d fit and I dont want to waste that kind of money and time choosing the wrong level.
I doubt they would allow that, best to take the cruiser session, if its too mellow next time go the intermediate session.
@@Indonesiansurftravel After surfing some cruising waves over christmas I think Im ready for intermediate. Want to improve my sharp turning
how much does a wave cost? thanks
