To get “surfable” waves here in Connecticut, you have to travel to other states. A “swell,” is not a swell, it’s just when the wind kicks up. The biggest wave size I’ve ever seen here on the CT coast is 3 and a half feet. This video is a miracle.
@@elliottcasey3142 ikr LMAO. We're getting a lot of late little south swells. On November 7-9th, a lot of north LA point breaks will be decent, like 4-5ft
Wait, that was a BAD day??? I thought he was just showing footage of slow mushy waves. Dude that day looks amazing! 3-4ft perfect long left and right that aren’t choppy with 5 people in the water
This is perfect for me. Still learning the speed generation side of surfing to get down the line and conserve power for the right time, it will take time but I'm super happy with my progression. Have a good one kale.
Glad u got to see your family Kale, considering the travel restrictions we've been facing lately. U would have been proud of all the groms that took part in the surf skate sesh at triggs carpark last weekend🤙
Hey Kale! I've been bodyboarding all summer (NW USA) and I just recently got an actual board. I wanted to say thank you, because your videos got me psyched to start surfing and in the end got me out there, I'm sure they'll help keep improve as well. Thanks again!
do you think you could do some more videos for people in their first year of surfing where we are using foam boards? think wave storm... A video about surfing sloppy weak waves on a foamie was what I was hoping this video was. I enjoy your videos very much, that is to say and know this will be helpful in the future! Thank you :D
It took me a while for it to click but riding my tiny 5’0 fish, I really just had to focus on generating speed and settle with one or two big turns rather than trying to do a bunch of turns without generating speed. Generating speed in weak surf is the most crucial thing.
All the waves in central Qld are weak sloppy waves. A bonus this week was the local beach being closed for a 3.5mtr crocodile hanging around. Fear is a big challenge for surfing up here. Haha
Great video Kale - got me excited and stoked for next time I can head out to see how I can improve my summer surf, and I might even dust off the old 5"6 fishy I've got thats been sitting during the winter! Have you ever surfed Perth / WA City breaks and any tips for these small, mushy, onshore/cross wind, close-to-shore close-outs? (other than drive down to Margies :D :D :D)
Hey Kale! Do you think it is possible to have too much volume in a small wave grovel board? I have a 6'0 Firewire Seaside but it feels pretty wide and corky on slightly bigger waves so am thinking of going to 5'11, but dont want to ruin its grovel qualities
Hey Kale! What kind of skateboard would be best for me to buy to practice my surf skills? I'm 5"9 and weigh between 65-70kgs. There's just so many dif' types of boards... I have an evolve electric skateboard and I have a normal skateboarding skate board, as in the popsicle shaped ones ... Intermediate surfer thanks :)
This is pretty much all I surf, I head out into small waves with my young daughter, I like the idea of a soft board so that I can help her out while out there, was thinking about a Catch Surf Log 7'0 for 2-3 Foot, any recommendations from anyone on this board or something similar? I am 80kg 5'8, thanks! Surf two sessions a week over summer generally.

This is perfect for us US east coasters. You have to work for it here 80% of the time. 🤙🏽💛
Man, that's no joke. Folly Beach in Charleston is my adopted home break, and you really have to paddle hard to get up to speed.
@@brandontaylor2790 damn I use to live in Summerville and went there all the time. Yeah it’s tough🤙🏽
YUP
very much so yeah
Yeah this is like Jacksonville
Those "sloppy weak waves" would be considered EPIC on the North Sea shores of Holland... 🤔🤔🤔
Lol..i just posted the same..saw your comment now🤙
Same in Holland Michigan.
People in Florida would also be all over it
Yeah Scheveningen is the all time ruller of sloppy and weak
Scheveningen :D

Sloppy weak waves are most of our experience at Rockaway Beach, Brooklyn, NY ! Thanks for this
Confirmed. I'll be there tomorrow and sunday
Aka how to surf Florida 😂. I like the starting high point you mentioned, I’ll have to give that a shot
🙌🏽
Also a Floridian. I moved from the gulf to NE Florida. from sloppy but punchy to longer lines but extremely weak.
@@kevinm5564 nice, I’m in St Augustine!
@@WorkForAvocados I know I watch your videos on the Surf Station site 🤣🤣
@@WorkForAvocados anything decent this time of the year?
Los Angeles surfers need this... and as one, I appreciate, thanks!
There will be north swell.... Anyyyyyy day now...
@@elliottcasey3142 ikr LMAO. We're getting a lot of late little south swells. On November 7-9th, a lot of north LA point breaks will be decent, like 4-5ft
So true especially now....
@@Its.Bronni when Pipe gets another swell, hopefully it'll hit El Porto and those other spots
Yew!
Great detailed explanation, the first turn into the power section of a wave is so important. I think once beginners get this, they're on their way!
The australian 'weak' summer waves come close to 'best days' in my country (netherlands)😂
As a UK surfer, I'd take those "small, mushy, weak" waves pictured in this video any time !
1:24 I wish my bad days looked like this😂😩
Haha
Wait, that was a BAD day??? I thought he was just showing footage of slow mushy waves. Dude that day looks amazing! 3-4ft perfect long left and right that aren’t choppy with 5 people in the water
@@ejectoraircoasters222more like 1ft but yeah looked epic!
@@fibibam yeah actually it was like 1-2 lol. Still amazing shape!
This is perfect for me. Still learning the speed generation side of surfing to get down the line and conserve power for the right time, it will take time but I'm super happy with my progression. Have a good one kale.
Thank you!
Great video as always, would love if you did a tutorial going in depth on aerial manoeuvres for more advanced surfers, keep it up!!
Glad u got to see your family Kale, considering the travel restrictions we've been facing lately.
U would have been proud of all the groms that took part in the surf skate sesh at triggs carpark last weekend🤙

Awesome !!!
Hey kale I love your videos I actually surf at urban surf. I was wondering if you could do a video on all the turns and tricks etc with surfing.
do you think you could do some more videos for people in their first year of surfing where we are using foam boards? think wave storm... A video about surfing sloppy weak waves on a foamie was what I was hoping this video was. I enjoy your videos very much, that is to say and know this will be helpful in the future! Thank you :D
Mr broccoli, you have a new subscriber. Thanks for the great vids....now I m off to check the skate program
Great vids Kale, watching these has helped me progress a lot keep it up!
Thanks for that reminder from your video. I brought my retro fish to my home spot and a messy session was made super fun!
Been groveling in HB for awhile on this S. swell, great tips Kales Thank you!
Yew!

FLORIDA NEEDS THIS
Down here in Florida I just bought a mayhem puddle jumper . It’s the non high performance and it is awesome for the shit mush we have in Florida
I can't wait tomorrow to try "early turn"!
🙌🏽🙌🏽
I have a 7'6" foamie for
Good video detailing basics of generating speed.
Wow, it's really great and very excellent info on the best surfing equippement I have benefited a lot from this explanation
You should come back to San Clemente!! Yeeeeeew🤙🏽🌺love ya, sending good vibez from San Clemente
I miss SC
Love your videos ! They help a lot ! 🤙🌊
Can you do a video on how to climb the foam and do small floaters on mushy closed out small sections please. They break I surf has a lot of this
Too niche - follow the fundamentals I’ve discussed in all other episodes :)
All the waves in central Qld are weak sloppy waves. A bonus this week was the local beach being closed for a 3.5mtr crocodile hanging around. Fear is a big challenge for surfing up here. Haha
Next tutorial: HOW TO SURF WITH CROCODILES
just try to have fun....
Great video Kale - got me excited and stoked for next time I can head out to see how I can improve my summer surf, and I might even dust off the old 5"6 fishy I've got thats been sitting during the winter!

Ride the right board !
Time to get the paddle fitness up to ride that 5"6!
Been lazing about on my 6"7 hybrid ;)
6:19 Where is that BEACH IT LOOKS SO NICE!!!! THE BARRELSSS!!
Hell yea! Love ya Kale!
nice job and awesome editing i thought it was consistent with your other videos good that you can do concentrate on other stuff!
Excellent!
I don't even stand up, I bodyboard but I love your channel, Broccoli :)
Thanks sponge bob
ah so freakin helpful. thank you!
Are those netball courts in curl curl
what set up do you record with . great videos as always
Thanks for this. Most of the time the waves are like this where i surf. Anyway, back in lockdown here, already missing the waves.. !
you think you have it tough, im trying to learn to surf on an inflatable paddleboard in the north east UK
Van tour?
Hey Kale! Do you think it is possible to have too much volume in a small wave grovel board? I have a 6'0 Firewire Seaside but it feels pretty wide and corky on slightly bigger waves so am thinking of going to 5'11, but dont want to ruin its grovel qualities
What board would you recommend to start the road map course?
Hey Kale! What kind of skateboard would be best for me to buy to practice my surf skills? I'm 5"9 and weigh between 65-70kgs. There's just so many dif' types of boards... I have an evolve electric skateboard and I have a normal skateboarding skate board, as in the popsicle shaped ones ... Intermediate surfer thanks :)
As always, love the video and the van! Which model/make do you recommend for surf-skating?
Smoothstars are by far the best :)
@@KalesBroccoli It seems like Smoothstar is not sold in the States. What's a distant second?
@@MorganPSell I think Carver C7 is close
If your sig board is called "The Broccoli", I'm buying one right now.
Haha we’ll see!
Have you used the obfive surf skate i love it and would like to see you compare it to the smoothstar
It’s ok no where near as close to surfing as a SmoothStar hence it won’t be the best training tool
This is pretty much all I surf, I head out into small waves with my young daughter, I like the idea of a soft board so that I can help her out while out there, was thinking about a Catch Surf Log 7'0 for 2-3 Foot, any recommendations from anyone on this board or something similar?

hey
Try surfing in Sweden, makes you cry 😂
Do you know if there are any surf spots in Denmark?? I'm going to do a year abroad there and I'm gonna miss surfing so much if there aren't ANY spots
can you send a link for you surf skate board
Smoothstar.com.au
@@KalesBroccoli thanks you
is there any way that i could get a discount for one of the surf skates
If that's weak waved then my home break doesn't even count as a break
Step one, be five feet tall
😂😂
Awesome content as usual🤙! If you feel like it check out one of my recent videos about hurricane surf we get up here in Canada.
To many commercial breaks
Sorry about this free content
@@KalesBroccoli not being ungrateful. Just saying that I think 4 commercial breaks is a bit to much.
