This was hilarious and so well done, including the acting! Plus, great tips for turning! Always look forward to your videos, my lunch entertainment haha
haha thanks so much! Glad you liked it🤙
Alright. That's it! You need to start making movies. You are seriously talented, committed and hungry. I want to see your productions on the big screen !
hahaha! Thanks so much Marc, really appreciate it!
Your videos are seriously hilarious and so well put together. Somebody get this man 100k subscribers.

Man this video looks professionally made!!!! Well done!! It must have been a loooot of work.
thanks!! it was soooo much work. Must have been 30+ hours of work to make this video lol
Hi from New Zealand, mate I am an avid watcher of all your clips but this one takes it to the next level, Cheers!!
Oh awesome thanks! Yea this was a fun one to edit
Wow. This needs to be nominated to some indi film festival. Serious material here.
haha thanks!! Such a fun one
Dude i love you.
I dont know how to say this, but you achieve to not be cringe, just sympathetic.
If other people would floss yes they would loose respect. But if you do it, its just hilarious.
Am 20 btw.
Cheers. Keep on going.
Haha so great to hear , thanks! Glad it doesn’t come off as cringe… definitely felt cringe doing it haha
Solid acting. Seriously better than 99% pros.
haha thanks Russel! Gillad for sure.. I dont know about my acting haha
The school of Shawshank turning...loved it...Great acting by you 2 🤣
Thanks Stephen! It was so fun haha... and I got a front row seat to Gilad doing some proper acting
I've been a long-time subscriber and this is by far the *best* post I've seen from you! "I'm no longer a danger to the line-up" is GOLD! "Turning Prison" is PLATINUM!
Thanks so much!! Haha yep, that was written and performed by the great Gilad! He killed it
@@LongboardSessions You're also the reason I've gone to single-fin now on my longboard (vs always surfing with thrusters). Keep up the *great* content!
🎉 Give this guy a TH-cam Grammy for this!!!
haha Thanks so much!!
Give Gilad an Oscar!! 🤣
Lololol what a fun (and still very informative) vid!! Thank you!
Yea he killed it! So fun
Anthonyxtime lol thank you :)
Oh man, that intro was perfect. Hilarious.
Thanks so much Mat! Intro was so much fun to shoot and edit haha
Just watched this again with my lady. We laughed out loud! ....and, Gilad deserved an Oscar!
haha thanks billy! Yea he was amazing.. it was so fun to watch him as we were acting those scenes out. I watched in amazement haha

This video was great! I love all you stuff, and I like the extra creativity in this one, very entertaining and informative.
Thanks Bryan! Yea this was really fun to do. Hopefully I can come up with some more similar ideas hehe
Thanks a lot for this one! One of the vids I’ve looked forward to the most, so worth-while the wait. Will get to it as soon as the next swell approaches.
Oh, and great acting!
Awesome thanks! Yea Iv'e been meaning to make a more basic turning video for awhile hehe. Now we got one in the books
Best one yet! Congrats, dear.

The best one so far! Nice cinematography, I thought this was continuation of Shawshank Redemption.

I am so thrilled to discover your channel!!! I'm working on turning today and it got easier when i imagine holding a big box to open up my shoulders.
Awesome! That's a great tip.. sometimes simple thoughts like that can make the biggest difference
I just started watching your channel and the level of entertainment is through the roof! You're making the informational portion so much fun to watch and it really sticks because it's easy to watch. So well done! I'm actually thinking of pick up my first long board at this point. Cheers from Seabright! 🤙🤙
Awesome thanks so much! Glad you enjoy. You'll love a longboard!
This was so fun to watch and made me laugh out loud. I don’t even surf lol! The acting was better than the garbage Hollywood puts out.
haha thanks so much!! Hope all has been well with you and your family
I thoroughly enjoy your content man,much love from Oz
Thanks so much!
The best cinematic surf guide I ever seen!
Enjoyed so much!
Going to practice and try it over the next session 🔥
Thanks so much!! Let me know how it goes

Thanks so much! Sadly I can't do this type of video all the time, but it was the most fun one to make haha! Can't wait for the next insane idea I have😂
Dude I love the skits man. The turning tips definitely help man. I’m looking forward to using these tips when I’m on my log this summer. Yewww 🤙🏻.
Awesome Jacob thanks! Good luck🤙
Such a helpful channel thanks so much for all this info.
You got it!!
That was fantastic! I loved the Shawshank vibe. Thanks for putting the effort in to make this.
Thanks man! Yea this was soo much fun to make
Subbed after that intro! Awesome stuff man, love your videos :)
Thanks Jasper! Glad you enjoy.. this was a fun one!
Very impressed with the video! Just did my first ever cutback turn yesterday, well done from TH-cam algorithm for bringing this diamond of a video to me with perfect timing!
Haha love it when the timing works out! I feel the same way with some of the channels I watch... sometimes timing is perfect. Good job!
Cinematic masterpiece. Thank you. This was well worth my time 🎉🎉
Thanks so much!!
Someone finally makings sense, thanks man
haha you got it!
What a well produced video. Great job. Thanks.
Thanks Isaac!
love this! Really enjoyed the humor mixed in the video
Awesome thanks! Glad you enjoyed
lol the beginning was so good thought it was an ad and ignored the first part of the video
haha that's great! Looked like a beer commercial
Surfing and Shawshank? you just earned a sub!
haha thanks Aaron!
ShoreSurf Redemption is Truly brilliant!!!
My longboard fin has become a shortboard fin after years of getting nowhere by wearing it down on rocks however I now plan to use it to help control my board to turn.
Plus I just got a new fin to polish up. haha
The rehabilitation path to turning prison is clear now and I hope to escape (one day) by etching into my muscles memory
the movements shown & lessons learnt.
Thanks Brian for all of your videos, always great to watch , lighthearted in providing such informative & helpful information for everyone’s surfing progression.
Gods honest truth,I’m sure Morgan Freeman would be so proud to have been
part of your video.
Love your work, Thanks again.
Thanks so much Stephen! Really loving making the videos... glad people seem to enjoy them! Makes it all worth it
Ha ha ha fantastic! I really enjoyed the acting scenes! Great music selection as well. Carry on the good work.! Best, Michael
Thanks Michael! We had so much fun shooting those scenes haha... felt like we were shooting a movie
Great vedio! I just followed this vedio for today's session and it really helped me to make turns with ease👌
oh thats great to hear! Glad it helped
shawshank inspo is S tier production. this was awesome and i also learned how to turn lol
haha awesome thanks Matt! So much fun to create!
Excellent and hilarious video! Mucho appreciated my friend!
Thanks! You got it🤙
Well done... helpful info as always plus some fun entertainment.
Thanks so much! Haha yea it was so fun
I loved the sketch, funny but at the same time very eye opening. Thank you for that great video😆
Thanks so much! It was so much fun to shoot and edit hehe
Im amazed at the ammount of time and effort you put into your videos and still have only 12k subs. Keep doing what you're doing its awesome
Thanks so much! Yea it's definitely a process building a youtube channel from scratch, but it's been tons of fun. No plans of stopping hehe
Great sketch work blended with surfing instruction - quite original! Keep on it!
Thanks so much Adam!
Nice meeting you yesterday and I really enjoyed the video! Well done!
Nice meeting you too bro, thanks! See you out in the water🤙
Love it mate! Shawshank, what a movie. Just got a longboard myself after years of riding much shorter quads and twinnies. Will try this and see if I can get out of prison 👀
haha thanks Craig! Yea it should be easy for you if you're coming from shorter boards. Just takes a few changes
This is great Tim and Morgan would be proud🤙
haha Thanks steven!
Well done. Really enjoyed the video. Approaching a serious issue with a light hearted approach is great. And you even threw in a little philosophy - don’t worry about failing when trying something new, love it. Looks like you all ( Gilda and you) have a new acting career 😆👍
Agreed. It can be difficult to keep thing light when youve crashed 10 times in a row attempting a basic turn. Been there.
Great video I just started longboarding about 3 months ago and turning the board was really frustrating so thanks for the tips
You got it! Yea it's weird when you start trying to turn bigger boards.. but quickly it becomes easy. Keep at it
I love it, I like your storytelling but especially your breakdown of the basic stance. I am 62 Hawaiian, born there with a Hawaiian mother that took us to the beach since I was born. My first board was at the age of 10. What you presented in this video took me 20 years to learn. Square of your shoulders, short stance. Wish there was youtube back then. Can't wait for the section on getting comfortable with the face of the wave and dragging yourself into the barrow.
Thanks so much!! Very cool story. Yes, youtube has made it much easier for surfers these days haha!
Great video! I smiled the whole time!
Thanks so much Jeremy! Glad you enjoyed
That was fun! Nice work.
Thanks Billy!
So well done my man!
Thanks Dan! Glad people are enjoying it
You are stinkin clever! Love it!!
haha thanks Craig!
Fantastic job! Loved the production quality and acting 😆
Also very useful tips 👌
Thanks! Acting was tough for me haha.. but Gilad killed it
This is amazing. Thank you!
You got it!!
Hahahah this is golden, you helped me so much starting with long boarding!
Thanks so much! That's excellent to hear🤙
Haha this was perfect brian and gilad! I didnt know you guys could act also lol. Nice. We gotta get back in the water this winter when we have fun longbord waves dude. Awesome videos! Thanks for the tips and techniques.
haha thanks James!! Yes for sure.. we got some waves coming end of this week I think
Fantastic vids bro! Great job!🤙🤙
Thanks John!
Love this, nice one mate.
Thanks bro!
Oh my gosh the Shawshank redemption! This was both hilarious and informative!
haha thanks Tyler! Glad you enjoyed🤙
Incredibly well done 🤙 kudos bro
Thanks so much!🤙
I love this!! Will try these methods and enjoy the wipe outs!
Thanks!! Yes haha, enjoy them
This video was amazing!! You really upped your game!! And it was hilarious to. Acting was on point 👌. Well done Sir. Was a joy to watch. Tips were great. I will get practicing infront of the tele lol. 😆👏
haha thanks! Yes do it! the more you do it at home the easier it is in the water for sure
With this I have seen 3 of you videos, now with the shawshank redemption reference 👌 you earned the subscription
haha excellent🤙
Great video and love the Shawshanks excellent job on that bro!!
Thanks bro!!
So good! I agree with some of the comments, this would’ve taken ages to make and put together. Awesome tips too!
Thanks Rich! It did take awhile haha, but it was fun
Awesome job mate. hilarious video
cheers from brazil
Thanks so much!🤙
😂👍 The Oscar is surely yours and your co-star's dude. Plus great advice in the bargain, I'll be trying my escape today, get those knotted sheets ready! Cheers Brian.
haha thanks so much! Give it a shot!
Priceless and so funny
Thanks John!🤙
I love the skits... So well done I also agree that leaning on the trucks of a skateboard won't help the surf turn. But, in my experience, pivoting on a skateboard will. Practicing tick tacks and kick turns both on flat and on transitions all help.
Agreed! Skateboards are great tools for practicing form. Especially something with real loose trucks like a surf skate
That is awesome. Never seen anything as fun and instructive.
Thanks so much!! Glad you enjoyed
@@LongboardSessions I'm off to try it our RIGHT NOW
Sweet! Let me know how it goes
Very funny and enjoyable, above all tho these tips are excellent - good work.
Thanks!!
Very informative and hilarious! Well done!
thanks so much! glad you enjoyed. im just extra happy I made my wife laugh 😂😂
Your movement have really improved, nice style being created..Awesome...
Thanks so much! Getting there
Very creative and great tips! I bet Andy has been using the position and hold method too! Rocker, edge shape and center fin placement play their roles too.......
haha I bet! Yes for sure, theres quite a lot that goes into it. This is just a taste into the turning world
Hi there !
thanks for your awesome videos .
I only discovered them today while home isolating , recovering from Covid.
I'm 55 , been surfing about a 1.5 yrs and really only getting it together in last few months .
I'm riding an 8ft board.
thanks again.
Adam
New Zealand 🤙🏽🤙
Awesome Adam! 1.5 years is not a long time, so if you're starting to get it than you're on the right track. Surfing is the one of the hardest things to improve at. Takes so many wipeouts and horrible days to finally start getting the hang of it. It only gets better!
I am 44 (also from NZ) and just started a couple of years ago, I ride a 7ft Soft beastie which is pretty good for most days on the east coast as long as I stay out of the 5ft plus range, prefer to ride around 2-3 ft, I am considering going up to an 8 ft ish (and picking up a 6 2' or something for the non longboarding days) but am wondering if I should go a bit bigger, I like to work the wave a bit rather than just cruise the face
Your videos are always great, but this Shawshank Redemption take is on another level! I‘m not even gonna ask how/from whom you got that spot on Morgan Freeman v.o. I’ll simply say, “Holy shit! Incredible!” Kudos!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏💛🤙🏼
haha thanks so much Jeff! My goodness, the guy who did the morgan freeman is spot on.. I couldn't believe it when he sent me the final audio
Brilliant!
Thanks Dave!
Well Brian, as so many have commented about this episode, you have created a real classic! It's hysterical, corny, but also so helpful. Plus who knew that you and Gilad could act. So well done! The production values of your videos are getting better and better. Keep on keeping on. YNWA...
haha thanks so much John! It was so much fun to shoot. These crazy videos are quite a puzzle piece to put together, but it makes it so much fun to edit.
ynwa😉
@@LongboardSessions Looking forward to a classic Champions League Final at the end of this month! Maybe LFC will have a better chance with the team they have now against Real Madrid then they did in 2018!!!
Hehehe well done! Love it
Thanks Dan!
Well done! Really enjoyed the video. Discussing a serious topic with a lighted hearted approach was great choice. And you also threw in a little philosophy - don’t worry about failing when trying something new, I love it. I think you and Gilda both have a new acting career ahead of you all 👍😊. I love the new direction you have taken your videos. Keep it coming. Hope to catch up to you all in August when I return. Cheers.
haha thanks Jack! Yea let me know when you're back in the area... you can try out my new board if you'd like.
Yep, always enjoy surfing with you and Gilad.
Great video! Love the editing!
Thanks man!
QUALITY!!! Yes please!
thanks!!!
That was brilliant ❤️😎
Thanks Pedro!
I almost died eating celery watching this. Love it. And that wave is lushhhhhhh x
hahaha thats the best!
the flossing on the pipe haha 😄 🙌🤙🤙🤙🤙great video
lol! My flossing definintely needs work....
Fun video and good instruction. Old school nose riders with the fin right on the tail and 50/50 rails are virtually unturnable with out the techniques you shared.
Thanks Michael. Yes exactly, gotta get that weight back and let the board turn with you. I tried to turn my first longboard like a shortboard when I started.. just fell right over haha
