i think there’s a difference between localism, respect, and regulating but they all work hand in hand. localism/regulating is important so spots don’t turn into another version of malibu or snapper. it’s also essential for safety i remember surfing out at kaiser’s a few years ago and someone who shouldn’t be out in the water was getting in the way and ended up causing a collision which led to someone having to be transported in an ambulance to the hospital

On my back side I am much better at getting my body coiled before the top turn and then having my board return to the power of the wave. On my front side my turns feel much flatter and way less powerful resulting in losing speed and having very little impact on the wave. I cant seem to figure it out.
@Kirrapointsurfschool2 ай бұрын
Hey Hose, this is actually a pretty common occurence and I think I know exactly what's going on. Typically it feels a lot more natural to twist and fall forward or hit the lip and come down with your chest toward the beach on your backhand as you can see more clearly and feel more controlled and balanced this way. On a frontside snap it feels a bit awkward as your back is to the beach so you're essentially falling back and feeling as if you're losing control. Look at my frontside snap and see how I twist before I hit the lip and I make sure I don't lean back as you'll lose the power and pivot through the turn. Try twist rather than lean and also play around with your timing. Hopefully this helps!

It's more of a HEYYY or HOOO which gets a littel muffled with the GoPro in the mouth. Very small margin for error in these types of waves and if anyone takes the wave or drops in on me it'll ruin my wave and possibly injure me too. It's essentially a loud and obnoxious way of putting my indicator on in my car of blowing my horn to warn someone of incoming danger.

can you talk about the little pump/extension most pros do just before they forehand bottom turn. yago,medina,jordy and ethan all do this. they lift their arms and their back heel lifts.please explain the purpose and the weighting required to execute these 2 stage bottom turns, cheers
@Kirrapointsurfschool3 ай бұрын
Hey Stefan, are you talking about front or backside snaps or both? This pump you’re talking about is either an extra speed generator or most likely a way to draw their bottom turn out to better time the upcoming snap section. It’s essentially a way to delay their upcoming planned bottom turn so they are hitting the top part of the wave at the right time. This is at least what I think you’re talking about. If you have any video on YT with your example post a link and a time stamp and I’ll hopefully be able to provide more info.

@coldseamonster3 ай бұрын
This was excellent. Love to see what determines the different changes to the bottom turn to cater to different maneuvers and when that decision is made. Is it right before bottom turn , during or right before hitting lip ?? There are times when I am going for vert snap and it turns into a good layback just randomly and I just go with it.
@Kirrapointsurfschool3 ай бұрын
I think I understand your question and I’ll try and answer. There’s a lot to unpack here. I usually make my mind up at the bottom part of the turn. Usually I find if I’m between two minds (can’t decide what turn I’m going to do) I tend to mistime the turn and either fall or fall out of rhythm with the wave. Otherwise if you’re accidentally laying back it’s likely your back arm is going behind your back during the turn and throwing your balance off. You can correct this by bringing that arm around to point to the beach and you should stay more upright to do a more conventional “snap.” There’s also other times where you plan a turn off the top and the section you’re hitting ends up doing things differently to what you expected and you end up doing something different to what you planned. This is what makes surfing fun, unpredictability, you can sometimes do some really odd but fun turns when this happens. In this circumstance I would just say roll with it and it sounds like you already are!

It’s a give and take mentality, locals have insights to the demographic of surfers in a wide area. We allow the locals from the next point south the benefits of taking off in the prime zone for similar exchange at their home break. We manage the parking and beach safely in order to have a pleasant experience. When the outsider show lack of respect by acting as if they have a carte blanche access and even try to exploit our timeless work of protecting the secret nature of our spot we fire back. No surf exploitation camera guy or internet exposure will earn respect anywhere. Learn your lesson, observe the regulations locals enforce and you’ll have a better recreation experience. Play ignorance and get shat on.

I surfed Pipe a few years ago (2018) for a month or two. There were some pretty agro locals making it perfectly clear I wasn’t welcome - for the entire 2 months. When back home, in Bali, a few months later, I bumped into one of the most aggressive Pipe locals when surfing Uluwatu. He didn’t give a damn about the fact he wasn’t a local: absolutely zero respect for anyone. And here lies the truth of localism: localism is carried out by 1st-class shiteheads, who don’t assume for a second that the rules apply to them when they leave their local break.

What a crock of shite. Localism is small-minded BS. There is no owning of the sea (unless it’s a private beach). And what makes a local? As an example, at my local beach my Dad surfed it for 40 years, and I learnt there. Moved away when I was 18, for uni and work, came back at 35, have surfed it for a few years again, am I local? It’s absolutely pathetic, it really is.
