Failure.. that shit is real. There are days where I feel confident in the water, and then there are days where the ocean straight up humbles me. Yesterday was one of the humbling days.
The cool think about surfing, in my opinion at least, is that even in failure it’s still wildly enjoyable. Even if I spend 2 hours in the water and don’t get a single wave, I still just really enjoy being out on the water, paddling, chatting with people in the lineup and just find the overall vibe super pleasant. It’s obviously even better if you’re catching waves and getting rides, but it’s one of the only sports where you can still have a blast even if you’re completely unsuccessful
Doheny rocky bottom, a painful beginner lesson and my first stingray jab. Oh and the constant struggle of perfect pop up on land but never in the water, it seems like your feet disappear or one goes missing just when you finally catch a wave.
I surf on the coast of WA all winter in a 5.54 wetsuit and never been cold once. I’m also 6’2” and 160 pounds so basically zero fat. Just takes the right gear and it won’t be cold 🤙🤙
i love your videos and your soothing voice ahah, but the car in the intro makes me feel like im watching an ad and not a surfing video. kinda out of context

Boneyards gets a lot of surfers. Those rocks...
Love your videos Brad keep killin it!
Thanks! I appreciate the kind comment.
The biggest issue for me is being around other people. Not because I’m shy or embarrassed but because I’m scared to snake someones wave 🤣
Hahaha.
Stick to it!
Even for beginners, surfing is awesome at least 9 out of 10 sessions.

As a new surfer who saw a shark I can confirm it was a little scary
Always Vibrant.
Or the struggle of taking off your leash with cold hands!
I think that dolphins aren't one, because where i live there arent dolphins, i just surfed with them once in my life
