That duck dive just confirms to me that I have been doing it wrong this whole time and really need to improve it hahaha!! Sick tutorial and stoked to see the rest when they are released!!
Could be a good follow up video. "... Next time we'll take a look at how to do a turtle roll and keep your cap on, so that you can still style it in the line up, and keep that sun off your forehead..."
So - I was out in the set yesterday with a 13s interval which got worse to 10s interval. I’m on the strong west coast of Canada and we don’t always get these picturesque intervals or visibility conditions as tropical places. I was pummeled yesterday and became exhausted as I breached, turtle tucked, and duck dived, I tried everything and remained midset. The white wash was pretty powerful and even recreated into some smaller waves. However, it harshed my mellow that I could not make it out. On pristine days it’s no problem but those are few and far between. So how do you get behind the set when the waves are breaking every 10 seconds and it’s just wall after wall of white wash. Board is 7’6” for context. Bless and thanks for any tips to help me
This is a tough one and kinda humbling in a way. Timing is always key. Although it might seem like it's a wall of white water that you just can't get through; There should be a window every-so-often between sets that should make it easier for you. The turtle roll is your best bet with a 7'6" board (unless you're strong enough to duck dive it). The key after every turtle roll is to get back on your board as quickly as possible and paddle strong and smooth. Try not to gas yourself out when paddling out, You should have a slow, smooth and strong paddle that just keeps you moving and doesn't tire you out so quickly. And eventually, you'll find that break in the sets when you have that blissful window of zero white water and you should be able to cruise on out back. Persistance and determination is key. And only go out where it is suitable to your ability. Hope this helped!
Thank you for sharing !

Turtle roll like it's easy 😭😭😭
We don't envy those that have to turtle roll but if you get the hang of it and time it well. It's a fool-proof way to get outback.
First points were helpful only coz I new the others, I think it's just my fitness that needs work lol. Surfings different and mother nature fks u up.
