Unbelievable skill and technique to handle that cross swell like a Boss. Making such tricky conditions look easy in the V12. Superb, Jasper. Coaching points are epic too and how well you filmed. Proper advanced gold. I think all who have attempted or want to learn these skills appreciate this hugely! Thanks!
I agree with the instructions and some well needed advice in challenging conditions, yet some very nice surfing. I love how he milks the small ones and goes for the big ones. Great wave reading and surfing.
I have sat on the back of a double ski with Dawid Mocke, and was amazed what he caught and the sprint power he turned on well before I would spool up power for a wave. Its great to see what Dawid & Jasper Mocke does to catch more complicated swells and runs!
This covered a lot of the technical aspects of downwinding that I’ve been working on! Such a great video down to the beach landing explanation. Thanks Jasper!!
Best instructional video I've ever seen. Thank you! (Swells that big through a GoPro lens are even bigger in the real world!) Only 500 views for it in a month proves just how underrated down wind paddling is. (Not that I'm complaining -what used to be an obscure sport now has surfers all over the world thinking nothing of taking a number in the lineup to get a ride!)
Watched it all over my morning coffee dude. Learned lots and had a few laughs along with you as i remember them days on the waves… picked up lots of tips there . Keep up the good films dude. Ever in Ireland let’s go for a paddle.
Wow, excellent video. A bit more than I would usually take on but very good info to have because you never know. Random question - what is the purpose of the two tennis balls connected by the orange line in front of your feet? Cheers!
Hi Jake! No purpose for this paddle! I use them for resistance (strength) training (by wrapping it around the boat with the tennis balls underneath) on flatter days and just keep them on the surfski.
Thanks Jasper, just bought my first ski and really looking forward to getting some downwind experience on it! Been consistently strong offshore here just north of Sydney. Agree with the use of small runners not going in the main swell and wave directions, I use them all the time in my sea kayak to help keep speed up. Saving my pennies to get onto one of your courses now!
Jasper. Fantastic video. Perfect for the skills I need to refine for the Doctor. Thank you. BTW, I saw the tennis balls in your ski. Why weren’t you using them haha. 😅
Hey Ron, I use them for resistance training on the flatter days to build strength. I leave them on my ski otherwise I'll forget them (although sometimes I wish I did!)

Best footage and narration out there on technique and intent, not just glamour surfing. Thanks
Thank you! Will keep them coming.

I felt like I was down winding in Perth Western Australia with these challenges!

Love the videos so much. Obsessed.
This is gold Jasper - great advice for real world conditions.
😎Glad you found it helpful.

Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, very helpful
Very good vid. These are definitely some advanced skills, with lots of layers of complexity to deal with, but you explain it really well. Thank you!
Thanks so much.
"If you've got speed, you've got options", love it.
Great vid on everything: Lessons, techniques, beautiful surfing & scenery. Grand Finality of coming into the breach.
Nice work Jasper.
That gives me something to focus on when paddling in rebounding conditions in Sydney

Would love to 👊🏼🇮🇪🇿🇦
@@paddleafrica happy out sure let’s do it! Might be a little colder 🥶 😂
Excellent !!!!!! Thanks Jasper, brilliant beach entry, great skill!👌💪
Lekker Brian. Sure we will see you over the summer in Fish Hoek.

Would love to host you here 👍🏼
Great as always Jasper! Thanks for the tips and advice.
Thanks Darrin. Love seeing the pics of you paddling.
Jasper. Fantastic video. Perfect for the skills I need to refine for the Doctor. Thank you.

Brilliant! Thankyou
Fantastic Jasper !!! ... Thank you ! BTW what ski did you paddle? V12?
Good footage and better technique lesson.👏👏👏
Thank you Jose. Your photo is still on the wall at the Fish Hoek club. We are waiting for you.
@@paddleafrica Hope I'll be back
Great video and great tips. What are the two tennis balls on the ski?
I was also looking at those and wondering the same thing.
Hey Ron, I use them for resistance training on the flatter days to build strength. I leave them on my ski otherwise I'll forget them (although sometimes I wish I did!)
thank you^^
You're welcome 😊
All over the place! I am useless in these conditions. Don’t paddle in it often enough and just not comfortable. Also a challenge getting off the beach
Come join us for a few sessions in Fish Hoek Stu!
3:38 is absolutely flying, considering you're not lined up with the bigger swell!
The small in between runs are the best kept secret! Absolute gold.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Could not understand what you were saying.
