      What's with all these people commenting about Feyvid Surfers Semitist like it's a cult??? 😂😂😂 Seriously though, loved this video. I've been wanting to learn how to surf for 3 years now, but I live in the Midwest - no coastline out here! 😂 I'm moving back to Oregon (where I'm originally from) in a month or two and I'm so ridiculously excited that I'll finally be able to surf!

    Hey guys, I'm living over in Margaret River, WA and have just started getting into surfing. Few months ago I got dumped and lost my job due to COVID, decided to put ALL my energy into learning how to surf. Luckily our beaches stayed open. Your videos are amazeballs, not only am I learning everything I need to improve, but you've really gotten my confidence in myself up. Keep doing what you're doing! Just wanted to say thanks!! YEW! FROTHING!!!!!

    I stumbled on this video randomly a few years ago. I used to bodyboard as a teen but never learnt to surf.
    I remember having no idea how to catch waves on a surfboard or how to duck dive, pump, turn etc but watching this vid helped break it down into workable chunks.
    I feel it was a turning point for me. I surf 2-3 times a week now, and starting to practice cutties and re-entries 🤙🏼
    I just wanted to say thank you 🙏🏼

    Becoming an "advanced" surfer in 12 weeks @ 2 sessions/week is a very lofty expectation. Most people take 2 years to become "advanced" by some standards, more like 5 years to become a true "ripper", but that's only for the upper elite talented and dedicated. Most people will be journey-level surfers for life. It's more difficult to learn as an adult, especially if you're a stiff desk worker. But that's not to say you won't enjoy it. You can have a great source of exercise and enjoyment in surfing, regardless of your ability. Don't compare yourself to other surfers. Just enjoy the experience!

    “How to surf like a pro in 25 minutes”...I can teach you in 25 seconds with no board, video and no where near water...ready?
    -You gonna fall. You gonna look silly. And some days...most, at the very beginning...you won’t even get off your belly...you’re gonna yell...and punch the air...probably the water. Maybe yourself...just don’t punch anyone else...and then you’ll go home go to bed wake up sore and ready to never do it again. But then oops...here you are. And for who knows what reason you’re gonna do the sammmmeee things today...give or take...because pain, or something?
    See...just like every pro ever to exist...

    Thank you for this great video instruction. I bought a board yesterday and have been on the water last night and this morning. I still have a very long way to go, but it's a joy already. Waves have been very big here last days in the south of Phuket for beginners, but I am just getting a feeling for the everything at the spot where the waves are already broken and take the rides laying down on the board. Step by step :) Your videos are very helpful.

    so i decided i would watch this video and then go out with my friend on a 8' foam board in 4'-5' waves............ BEST decision in my life. When we first got there i went in the white water to catch some water just to stand up to get a feel of how it is when your standing. Found out its harder to mess around with the white water then it is to just ball up and go for the clean nice waves. First wave i caught stood right up on my feet and road the waves all the way in. Did this about 4 more times without eating it to my surprise! HA. LOL. Im still alive so this video must have helped me some how. ='') Probably not the best idea to do what i did unless you are strong enough to handle the current and waves as a first time beginner lol.

Waiting on my 7' Mini-tanker and my renowned shapers recommended it over the hybrid and now after watching this video I wish I had gotten the "fish type"6'3" since I am an intermediate bodyboarder,--never did big tricks or even dropped kneed. This was the best video I have seen so far on board selection and first on weight balance.

      People can tell you how to surf until they’re blue in the face and granted the pointers are helpful but the key is going out and doing it. If you’re lucky enough to find a friend that is an experienced surfer and they don’t mind helping that is a great way.
