Surf Simply Tutorials: Paddling To Spot X
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ย. 2024
- The Surf Simply podcast is also available on iTunes. There are two kinds of surfers, the hunters and the hunted and Spot X is what you're hunting. It's about paddling to the wave rather than just taking waves that come to you. It means you'll have a greater success rate when you try to catch waves and you'll always have priority on a busy day. It takes awareness and agility in the water but it's a skill you can practice right from the first day you paddle out the back.

This is one of the greatest explanations of surfing available. Thank you!
A lot of people can surf well but I would say not many people can both teach and surf well. Surf Simply is one of the best by far.
I just started surfing 2 months ago and just dove head first in it. Surfing has consumed my life. These videos are by far the best tutorials I have found for learning
By far the best
One of the best instructional videos I’ve ever seen! So educational!
Late to the party but these tutorials are amazing... I went out this morning and only caught 3 waves and came home disappointed and dejected - watched your videos, went back out this evening and caught loads of waves by not rushing it, just biding my time and 'hunting' spot X... brilliant stuff guys! Thanks
I first surfed on 2013 and was completely hooked. This was one of the tutorials that helped me with my surfing. I'm still surfing today. Thank you surf simply. Paddling to spot x.
Great to hear!
This guy is awesome. Will rewatch before Summer starts.

I love these tutorials, they are the best explanation of the wave that I have heard. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

This guy is awesome - explanations are super clear!
so true!! there´s a fellow who is allways a bit further out than me...yet...he paddles out and...magic...flies out into the wave faster than me...puzzles the heck outta me
Awesome stuff! Thanks for taking the time to share it!!
These tutorials are awesome!
Thank you for the amazing tutorials!!!
brilliant explanations.....so helpful.
You do a really good job of explaining things. Cheers, mate!
Woah so well explained that surfing feels so simple now
So well explained, thank you so much for these videos! I'm at a beach break where the peak changes frequently. I'm trying to understand the tides so can better estimate the effect of the sand below. I've also noticed patterns in the sets here, like when the first bigger wave comes through, there's usually another 2 bigger ones behind it, so holding off on the first can pay off sometimes.
So helpful! Keep um comming please!
thanks for the great video! i learnt so much from ya.. great theory
great channel, have learnt alot and really enjoy white board Wednesday. can you look to do one on improving padding technique and exercises to help you to become a stronger (less tied) more efficient paddler.
thank you this tut is very helpful!
Great videos! I have no idea how they dont have tonnes more views
You also need a lot of paddling endurance to do this. Great lesson though, I realize I'm always the hunted.
waooooooooooo great tutorials
I want to surf !!!! NOW !!! Why i live in Germany, 3 hours away from the next spot in Netherlands :D Definitely i was born in the wrong country !!!! :DD
You described it perfectly! When I first started, I was too often in the crush zone and got caught up in some bad stuff. Then I become "the hunted" and stayed way too far outside and trying to stay out of the way.
You are correct, it is all about attitude. Hesitating is actually more dangerous than going for it (in most cases)
You are a great surf coach, any chance you'll be in southern California anytime soon? :-)
Esseeeseeeseeeeeeeeesee
+Kurt Stock so true! I do the same thing still, sitting on the outside so I don't get in the way of the other surfers, but it's way more difficult to learn and more dangerous to catch a wave on the outside. Good points.
A question: there´s a beach I always wanted to surf, there are three basic pointbreaks 1. a right hand near the pier, 2. a peak that goes both ways and 3. a left hand. Thing is it is kind a messy because although there are this 3 clear places where the waves break they are constantly moving making it difficult to know where to be exactly to catch them. Any pointers on the matter?
That's because it is most likely a beach break. You have to move around and follow the peak while in reef breaks it's stationary. In beach waves the sand keeps moving around bellow you changing the 'spot x'.
Song ID on the intro J dilla "show me what you got" dope pick rest easy Dilla.
this applies to getting dates also
Except instead of spot X, it is spot G.
ive been getting it wrong but at least im not getting crashed on all the time
Doing this is super tiring though!
Dude i drive three hours to go surf
