- How to surf - falling off safely without injuring yourself. You may have noticed that surfers tend to fall off a certain way don’t they? It’s not by accident.
Surfers, as a first priority, are trying to fall off of the wave as far away from their surfboard as possible, but there are some other important things to know as well to avoid getting hurt whilst riding waves.
HOW EPIC WAS RYAN'S BACKWARDS SWAN DIVE WEDGE EXIT!

I ate a lot of sand to make this video possible... 😬😬 PS: How funny is Ryan's reverse swan dive 😂😂😂
Are you the same Kale Brock of Gut health??
@@Marshycrazyness686 I, Kale Brock of gut health, say yes.
Haha poor RY backside reverse body surfing 🤣❤️
A friend of mine who I used to skateboard along in my youth (and who always also surfed) keeps challenging me to drop from bigger waves when I didn't even dropped from the smaller ones yet! It becomes especially frightening when the only experience you have with those bigger waves are massive slams! Firstly, I gotta learn how to take off in smaller waves (which I haven't just yet), and then think about the bigger ones... Otherwise I'd just get traumatized!
@@rafaelmarangoni I can tell you from experience, you are correct. Gets many repetitions in on small waves that you can successfully ride.
Nice video. Please do something similar but for more advanced surfing on handling the worries of barrels.
Its on its way Greg - probably go up for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
@@KalesBroccoli love the videos man. I'm also very keen on Greg's suggestion. I'm predominately riding backside at my local breaks and have a dodgy trailing knee. When it gets heavy I'm concerned the wave will land on me and it might give way leading to further injury. As a result i often shoot myself forward or break through the back prematurely...would love some insight on that!
Yeah always wondered how the pros ‘pull through’ the wave to escape close out sections when it’s bigger. Love the channel!!
I love watching videos of your students progressing and the “side by sides” with you (a skilled surfer) and then, (beginner-intermediate) It’s easy to find videos of skilled surfers. But it’s hard to find videos of surfers with the same issues as beginner/intermediate surfers like me.
Hundred percent - I'll start uploading some more like that for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
slipped off my board head first doing a backhand floater 22 years ago at D”bah....... broke my neck and been in a chair since. my advice dont land on ya head！ 😂😂😂😂
Omg that’s horrible ! I feel really bad for you even thought i don’t know you 😂
I know how much I love surfing and I’m only 12
It must be so hard to go from surfing one day to in a wheelchair the next
much respect ✊🏾🤙🏾
@@jai__fox7403 thanks mate, its all good
A friend of mine did the same, he got paralyzed then passed away a month later. Glad you made it alive 🤙
great lesson on hesitation, gotta commit! love these videos - they don't replace time in the water, but they shortcut how much time total time i have to spend there by helping me focus on specifics. thank you!
Epic. Put it well!
Awesome! Lots more coming for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from). Sorry for the delays!
Kale, nice video. Been back on the surf board here in Bali for the first time in 20-years since Hawaii. I remember, as you say, the "leap of faith (snap-up)" is important vs. hesitation. Thank you for making and publishing this video.
Thanks mate!! I will keep this in mind as I begin my surfing journey.
Love this channel. Learning to surf in Florida. I've progressed allot from these videos, thank u!!
thank you sooo much for your patience and your awesome surf guidance .. thank you
Loved the nosedive explanation. Finally getting in the water with some regularity and was self diagnosing why this was happening but the video has been great to confirm and help me fix it. Cheers
Awesome Dale :) Loads more coming for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
7:40 !!
always helpful with great lesson that I didn't know. Thanks!
I've been surfing in San Diego for two months. My main thing is to never hurt anyone. Problem with that is I'm more complacent when taking waves and slowing my learning. It sucks but I feel its what I have to do.
Thank you thank you thank you! @kalesbroccoli heavy swell rolling in tomorrow morning in puerto rico and this is exactly the video I needed to see before surfing what could very well be the biggest waves I've ever seen.
This is gold to me. THANK YOU ☺️
No worries mate :) lots more coming for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
Absolutely love these videos 🙏🤙
Just learning myself and your so right about being pushed by alot better surfers, putting you out of comfort zone, taking on the tips and putting them Into practice
always good surfing with people better than you.
Great vídeo!!! When I am surfing steep waves I have to start to choose the best side and make a direction before pop Up...
Your board (or others' board) is the most dangerous thing when surfing. 30 years surfing, my board broke my nose with an edge rebound directly onto my face. Could have been worse, but, as you say, if you're not in hurry (competing or such), it's always good to protect head and face with your arms and take some seconds under before poping out to the surface. Great vids, always sensible and good to watch.
High time that someone made a clip about staying safe after a wipe-out. There are myriad posing surf clips on YT but hardly any on this less glorious aspect of the sport.. or should I say art :) thanks 🤙
100% this one isn’t going to go viral - but it’s super helpful
cheers brother
awesome no worries! Lots more coming for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
Time in the water - or as a Hawaiian legend at my local break says - "Get your gills wet" YEW!
Hahaha
haha love it!
Hi, cool channel, I subscribe! One thing important that I've learned in surfing is to let fall when have to fall, not try to keep on the board and go, especially on aerial attempt and big wave riding..
Thanks for making a vid on this!
What a great video. Good job!! I always learn a lot.
Thanks ! Loads more coming for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
Just recovered from a busted eardrum.
Fell off a tiny wave on my way getting out and caught a fish tail straight behind the ear.
Wasn't considering the boards position as it was such a tiny wave.
That'll teach me
I hope I fall as graceful as the intro music haha
Love this video, really helpful!:) Thank guys!
Great music!!
good information
Love this! 💪
Great video, using footage from beginners and people you've coached was great for illustrating what you were talking about
Thanks! I'll try to keep it up for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
Awsome Kales,
Taking off with a slight angle is the key for a beginner 🙂
Kewl!!! :) lots more coming for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
Thank you a lot bro, thank you for take care of us , for real, one ❤️🧜🏾♂️
Cool video dude
Ton of help brother thank you!
Thanks Nash!!
Lots of good stuff here. My wash cycles are less numerous now from your tips. Angle take off, weight wave side rail, pop up sooner, look where you want to go, wave selection. I'm sure by fall, I won't have to think about any of it. Thanks, Jim
🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thats awesome Jim!! Lots more coming for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
Thanks for your videos very good advices i m from hossegor France
I have been waiting ages for this video!
🤙🏽
Sorry it took so long! Lots more coming for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
woooow - great analysis - love it
thanks :)
Loved this one. Do more of the beginner stuff. Lots of us old guys who surfed as kid trying to get back in now that we are retired and 50 pounds heavier!
Ryan is getting fatter by the day so I reckon we're nearly there!! #basmatiparty
Okay will do for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thank YOU! :)
Awesome vid LOVE the super slow mo would like to see more of that !!!..especially in how to critically approach certain turns carving 🏄
Or face carving and off the lip moves and would give a chance to show you Rip 😉. Your surfing in this vid was all time.
❤️❤️
Thankyou! I have lots more coming for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
About the hesitation section I agree in general but in this case the message should be to turn immediately in small steep waves with a big board. I have been in the same situation.
Hey Kale. I want to start trying air reverses on big sections mainly because I skate and I’m used to frontside airs. However, I’m scared of misland and tweaking my ankles/knees. What are your short tips to start trying air reverse and not get hurt? Thank you in advance.
Wiped out super hard today, went over the front and wave slammed me onto the shore, shoulder and scapula are definitely bruised or sprained. Any tips for avoiding injury surfing shore break? Or what to do if you know you’re going to hit the floor hard?
I have literally got stitches in my head from the exact same thing in Bali 😂
Never pin drop feet first on a shallow reef. Did that at Balangan in Bali completely shredding my feet. After a painful hobble up the beach & lime induced agony, I completely drained the island of Bintang over the next few hours. Heartfelt apologies to anyone who suffered in the great Bintang shortage of November 2011 😃
Hundred percent! haha
Thanks!!
I love you bro
0:44 This is exactly how I chipped my tooth. Good tip about hesitation and getting up and away from the board!
Finally a video I can relate to :D
🤣🤣 we can all relate to this one
haha we can all relate to it!
Thank you
i am here for the first minute of kook slams , they were great.
Split the nose on my 8'6" long board nose dived . Total bummer . Wish I saw this video before that happened . Oh well maybe I had to learn the hard way . Great videos been watching since I started trying to surf for about 2 years now .
Always going to happen to some boards - thanks a bunch! I have lots more coming for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
I like your guy's vids cause it's real. Lol
No worries dude! :)
That's nice
New surfer here these are great videos !
Ahmed Shehata same here ! these are great vids
Thanks :) loads more coming for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
Sick video! Best one buy far. Helps me see what to look for when I go surfing In maui. Hopefully not get my leg taken off by a Tiger shark. Like that guy In Kaanapali.
stay safe bro
awesome ! lots more coming for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
I fell pretty much exactly like you were showing in the examples at 2:30 but the water was so shallow my lower back got slammed into sand and it's injured pretty bad. I wasn't even that close to shore it was just quite shallow and I guess I had so much force. I tried to spread my arms a bit to disperse the downward force but still hit real hard. Is there anything I could have done different or it this sometimes unavoidable?
Thank you how to rip for all of your amazing vids I have learnt so much from them
❤️ from Wollongong
Thanks for watching Emma!
How to Rip
I’m from Wollongong NSW Aus
Were are you from?
Awesome! Love the South Coast - loads more coming for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
I have a question, if u have a string attached to your ankle connected to the board, how do you do this special fall?
Watching this after being in waves in the canaries that felt way too big for me and getting absolutely gut punched by my board when I fell
Great Video, Cheers Kale!
Do you have any tips on getting away from the board when you pull into a small closeout barrel. Sometimes its fun to do that on a day when the waves are hollow but straight for that little kamikaze glimpse of perfection, but I have found myself copping a hit from the board a bit too often.
We will have to do a video on tube riding soon
I'll have this video coming soon Ollie ! on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
Almost lost an eye today after just going out and not having any lessons... it was my own doing after not knowing how to properly fall...
I think the fin hit super close to my eye.
I recently picked up surfing as I moved to Sydney from Europe and your videos have been very helpful. One thing I would like to hear more about is duck dive. What is the proper technique and also, how big a board you can actually duck dive. As a beginner surfer I have been riding a high volume 7.6 fun board. With a lot of effort I can practically duck dive that board but sometimes it just goes horribly wrong and needless to say, paddling out in bigger wave conditions can be a real challenge... yet I don't think I am ready to move to a shorter, lower volume board.
We have a few videos on the channel about duck diving :)
Yep lots more coming for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
Another excellent video. At the start of the year I fell off my 8' board and when I came up got hit straight across my ear as I had failed to protect my head like I usually do. Intense screaming noise in my ear, horizon spinning - turned out I ruptured my eardrum and was out of the water for 6 weeks.
Shit!! Heavy dude. Sometimes we learn the hard way hahaha
Damn! Least you had lots of youtube time!
Good vid to have, take it from me, even after 25 years surfing last year I wiped out in a barrel and my board hit me in my head, breaking my jaw into 4 bits needing a lot of surgery, worst of all it knocked me out, next thing I remember is being in knee high water with my mate who rescued me. Short story, always surf with a a mate!!. Took a couple of surfs to get my confidence back, but fully back and stoked now. A good question is the best way to fall in a barrel or step bowly section? Cheers bro
Oh shit bru that sucks! Glad to hear you’re back though. Diving forward to penetrate the wall of the wave is generally best! But sometimes difficult
I am working on this video shortly for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
Wow sorry to read this bro, I hope all healed well and safely.
Went surfing yesterday for the 3rd time ever and got smacked by my board, thought I'd get some education before going out in crowds again. Don't want to get hurt or hurt anyone else. Thanks for the video
8:53 I did this moving too slow and went head first into my board lol... Made me take this shit more serious. Be careful nuubs
Have u ever done any video about sup surfers in the line up?
Man, I wish you would do this video again but for like 8 foot waves
what about shallow reefs and haevy barrels. ways to stay safe getting away from the lip ect
Its coming soon for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
How do I stay safe when I'm in a closing barrel? I often see people trying to jump off to the front. I'm really scared of going in, because I think if it closes it smashes me right next to my board/fins.
It's important to get away from the board which is why people jump forward - ill have more soon for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
i once fell on my board and my head slid perfectly between my fins then the wave fully collected me i was very lucky to come out without a scratch
Great videos guys. Question - proper technique for turning involves looking where you want to go. So how can you tell if your attempts to throw more spray are working (assuming you don’t have a film crew)?
Don’t worry about the spray worry about the technique
Don't worry about it - when you do the turn properly it'll work! lots more coming for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
Hey guys, i'm an intermediate surfer thanks a lot for all your tips, helped me a lot to improve my surfing, could you do something on how to get barreled and how to surf hollow waves ? Thanks a lot
Ok
Its coming shortly for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
Can u explain how to avoid someone hitting me when they go over the falls
hi guys. i am new to surfing and dont know what board I should use. i am 12 years old and my length is 1.5m. thanks for all your detailed videos!!!
Check out our video on Which Surfboard To Use
Where did you get that picture on the wall at 0:55
Can you make a video on foot positioning specifically on a short board, such as where your back foot should be while pumping (ex on the tail pad or off of it) and how and when to shift your feet while surfing a wave cause I know your supposed to shift your feet forward while surfing a smaller wave, so you don’t apply too much weight to the back of the board and bog it down but I just want to know how much further forward you should put that back foot because sometimes I want to go for a turn on a small wave but I find my back foot is just too far off the tail pad and then I don’t have time, to quickly put my foot back and hit a section; essentially I just want to know where the sweet spot is usually, on a short board for pumping, so this would be incredibly helpful if you could go over that..please?🙏🏽!
I'll have more on this here on this channel (the one I am commenting from) soon :)
Watching this from the hospital bed🤙
Did you see the new Wedge dive recently? CRAZY right into the sand!
3:42
Lol
Awesome guys! Just a quick question, when falling off your board in white water/waves which are shallow, does the same rule of falling off to the side of your board apply even if it is shallow water?🤙
Yes, belly flop or backflop generally apply :)
Oh okay, thanks man👍
No worries Will! Lots more coming for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).Sorry for the delay!
MAHALO FOR THE REMINDER...🌴🌴🏄♂️ REYBANN AUSTIN TEXAS
Yew!
My first real near death solo wipeout got me here 😆
Honestly I find if the wave isn’t huge I just wrap around my board and hold onto it and that’s worked pretty damn well for me
some very good tips in this video, but I think some of the waves are a bit dumpy for absolute beginners
Surfed my whole life with only minor injuries if any and in last 5 months I’ve Broken jaw in 5 places then broke my foot and torn ligament... she’s an unpredictable sport but will never stop
my biggest concern when falling is hitting my head on the bottom of the sea.
Mine is my board or leash getting fucked
was attempting to surf in september in new jersey. the board did a nose dive and the nose lodged itself into the sand. the wave threw me into the fin and it went straight into my inner thigh, completely cutting part of my quad in half and getting a few millimeters from severing my femoral artery. was actually tough to watch this video lol
Oh jeez
The snake 😂😂😂
Can you do a video on falling off when tuberiding ?
Yep I am working on it! Will be here for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
Great vid mate, helps a bunch, but what about the thumbnail dude! I have been surfing for about 6 months and go out in pretty much everything on my 9'3 longboard (fast way to learn!). The only really bad bail was like the one in the thumnail where i paddled into a big wave too late, was about to get dumped by it, flung the board out from underneath me and then came down on the board which was touching the sand floor and did not give way. and f*ck me did that hurt and leave some gnarly bruises. Im sure that would break bones in bigger surf or even just coming down on it wrong. Is there a way to avoid that one other than picking the wave better and timing better ? Thx in advance!
Gnarly man. Jump to the side?
That's one of the worst ways to fall hahaha I didn't have any vision of it though - falling onto a rolled upside down board is so painful it kills!! Again, this comes down to falling away from the board as much as possible, but let me tell you, I've had it happen!
Yeah its never too fun when that happens haha! Lots more coming mate for you on this channel soon (the one I am commenting from).
7:38 are these Dolphins?! That's awesome, where is it? Best regards, great video!
Your at teapuh and nose dive stay under for longer
Surfer: dies
Kales:I’m going to pretend that didn’t see that
Oooooof
Teahupoo
Another way to say it is just chopes
Music?
yep, everytime i got hurt was when I did not commit.
The intro clip might as well be me every wave 😂😂
lol
i once go smacked in the face by my own board. very painfull , blood everywhere. stiches in my nose
Does the underneath part of a wave travel faster than the front of a wave?
Nope, its the top that travels faster while the lower part getting slowed by the sand
eef..thus the breaking of the wave
The top changes quicker but both travel the same (the lip falls on top so one could argue it moves quicker)
Well, I had developed this silly idea that maybe the standing wave would create a squeeze between the bottom and the weight above it causing the bottom to be pushed forward.
Not really.
3:40 HAHAHHA
