- Welcome to Episode 1 of Surf Kayak & Waveski Surfing, A Beginner's Journey. This first video is mostly an introduction peppered with some surf session GoPro footage of Kayak Surfing and Waveski Surfing with comments throughout the surf session. Although my shorter GoPro videos are on TH-cam and Social Media, this series of longer videos will talk in detail about different sit-in surf kayaks, sit-on-top surf kayaks, waveskis, equipment, accessories and how to surf ocean waves. Please leave your comments below as we'll address them and maybe create an episode around them.
This particular surf session took place on November 19, 2023 at Sandy Hook Beach, NJ with Ross Kushner, Bill Casey and Auri Berg who all live in the area. I decided to leave New York as the surf forecast for us was going to be very windy, bumpy and overall unruly-which it was. New Jersey on the other hand was perfect swells, clean mild offshore winds and sunshine. I made a great choice and as always, the New Jersey Crew always rolls out the red carpet for me and scouts out the best spot for us to surf. It was a great day with 4 hours of surfing.

Brilliant 👏 thanks for posting. I'm knew to this type of boat. I ditched the hip harness and replaced it with 2 knee straps. Much better control.
Excellent! Good to hear. I'll be doing a Waveski video as my next one. We'll talk about that for sure.
Good job. I like that you walk the line between just a kayaking video and a beginner's tutorial. I look forward to the next one.
Great stuff, Richie! I LOVE the music!
Thank you White Eagle!
Thanks Richie!! Very cool ;)
Couldn't do it without your support.
Well done! Definitely helpful for expanding interest in surf paddling. The northeast has been losing waveskiers/surf kayakers as folks age out. Need to bring in newer folks to the sport!
Nice video Richie.
Thanks Dude. Gotta create some buzz.
Really great video! Love it! Some day I got to try this!
Thank You! I'm on Long Island and usually have a spare kayak. Episode #2 is being worked on and will be live next week.
Like to see cobra strike in action. Never seen one . I use mine and love the fun. I have and still surf for 60 years. Kayaking waves is so different. 2 ft. Wave looks 4ft.
yes! I'm putting together a video RIGHT NOW! But only have a few GoPro Clips. It's way too cold here now and nobody wants to film on the beach LOL. Come spring I'll definitely get some footage of the Strike. I enjoy the Cobra Strike too.
I noticed that your feet and footstraps are very wide apart. You will get better performance if you get your feet as close together as possible. The same applies to the seating position; the higher you can sit, the better performance you can extract; the more leverage you apply. Though, of course, to use a horse riding analogy, a beginner cannot start out riding a racehorse. Consequently, a beginner and even an intermediate will feel less stable with feet together and a higher seat position. Stability, however, opposes manouverability. And which is why beginners start out on something which is stable and progress to something as unstable as possible. Cheers
Great points and you summed it up why I'm not sitting on a seat riser yet. All things I'll talk about in my next video. Also, 26 inches wide is my comfortable tippy point, which is too wide for the pros but more stable for me. I'm not ready to go narrower, sit higher or even use a shorter ski yet. I haven't taken it out in 3 months as I've been using the Surf Kayak. Shame on me LOL! Thanks for this. I'm going to reference this. I've got to get started on the next video which should have probably been #2-Choosing a Waveski and Surf Kayak. Cheers!
@@richie_waverider I'm glad that you got some inspiration for your next video. I have a bit of an interest in waveskis as I designed and manufactured waveskis in Australia in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Cheers
well done Richie, join us in Cape Town if you ever come to South Africa? - see our @ Big Bay Waveski Club.
Thanks Ken. Trying to get as much time in the water as possible. I am trying to map out each year with a surf vacation so yes maybe South Africa for sure!
It looks like TJ from Florida, USA is going to Worlds Competition at Nahoon Reef this year. He's a very passionate fellow surfer here on the east coast, USA.
