    This is awesome! So much value. I really think you are the best surf coach on TH-cam. The way you break down the technical aspects doesn't come off as daunting. I'm really happy to see you're doing coaching. I'm heading straight to the website right now. Thank you Ben!

    Really good video, With great detail! So good to see a tutorial with someone learning instead of a pro. Much easier to relate and see
    How to progress by watching actual progression. Thank you for sharing ben🙏🏽

      @@BenConsidine its great that you could see this way of teaching being helpful. Sometimes I watch surf tutorials and it looks more like a show of ego than showing how. Lol. Pros make it look easy so it’s hard to relate. I know you are a pro but you seem more modest and humble. That’s a good feature to have :)

    I see lifelong surfers not stepping on the tail to turn and wondering why they have a hard time cranking agressive or vertical turns,...and I have the same problem every time when I go from a shorter board to a longboard in mushy waves...every time! It takes at least a few rail bogs before I start stepping back enough, thanks for the great video ben this is such a common issue.

    • @BenConsidine
      @BenConsidine  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah it’s super common!! Haha I get it when I go from my 9’4s to my big 9’9!! I think ‘why are my turns so sticky!!’ Then remember to adjust my spacing haha, but thanks so much and glad you liked it 🙏🤙🤙

    Thank you for this vid! This is by far the most helpful video we've come across when it comes to the foot placement, body movements, and board mechanics for learning to turn. Super helpful!!! ✌️🤙

    I find the easiest way to get tail pressure is to simply lift weight from your front foot, the board always follows.

    2:49 I see this all the time, in many places in the world. More so in "developed" countries. Some people try to surf with their "head" and do not "feel" what is happening. Feeling as the act of using all the senses in the present moment to successfully complete a task. That is engaging the vision, ear, touch and propioception (specially the last one, although not consider an official "sense"). These are felt first, then they are put into words and conceptualized. I tried surfing "theorically" first and it didn't work. Then I tried surfing first then finding words for what i was feeling, experiencieng and doing on a wave, and that has been working beautifully, also having the luck to be able to surf every day.😊
