from the perspective of someone who had to learn these tips the hard way, this is one of the best beginner surf videos ive seen on the internet

[@LongboardSessions]

wow thanks so much! I had to learn them the hard way as well haha

[@outtatime9746]

you put so much effort into your videos, and make it really entertaining, I’m so surprised you don’t have more subscribers, keep it up!

[@LongboardSessions]

Thanks so much! Yes, it is quite a bit of effort... but as long as some people enjoy the vids it's all worth it hehe

[@sirlancenotalot2765]

I agree with this. This guy has helped me more than anything else. I've been surfing a really long time and I've always sucked. A few mins of my life watching his videos has tranformed my surfing. I don't use Social Media but if I did I would be pushing this guy to everyone and anyone relevant.

[@jesusisking3814]

We all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for us, so that we may have everlasting life. Now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and you will you be saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read Bible, pray for Jesus to reveal Himself to you and change you, seek to do what is right according to the Bible. Much love and God bless.

[@sirlancenotalot2765]

I want to thank you. Sincerely. I’ve been “stuck” in beginner mode for years and years. That clip of you rising a bike made something click. I went out today and had my best surf ever. Longer rides, read waves better, even squeezed the last bit out of wave with a very rough nose walk. Thanks again! ❤

[@LongboardSessions]

Awesome!! so good to hear. Never know when something is gonna click hehe.. it's the best when it does

[@sirlancenotalot2765]

@@LongboardSessions Surfing is the only sport I know that you can’t really see what you are doing/not doing, and there’s no coaches etc. I didn’t know what I was doing wrong until now 👍👍

[@LongboardSessions]

It really is unique in that way. It makes 'getting it' that much better tho hehe

[@jackdoughty4238]

Great production effort on this video! Mixing humor with facts really get the point across. I recently had the epiphany of what happens when you look up and down the line rather than at your board or 2 feet in front of it. Expanding your vision out down the line is a game changer and adds soooo much fun to the surf!!! It is fascinating that your body just seems to know what to do when you relax and expand your vision. It just happens - almost too simple! Adding to your point about sending the correct messages to your brain/body , when you look up you send a natural signal to your brain/body that you want to get up. So your pop up becomes easy and fluid. Conversely, looking down at your board or close to it sends the opposite message making it more difficult to get up to your feet. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from down under 🙂

[@LWLHP]

Couldn't agree more but would include opening the shoulders to maintain the messages to the brain.

[@LongboardSessions]

Very well said Jack! What you experienced is exactly my point.. let that central nervous system go to work!

[@angelalu5260]

I'm a beginner and I've been having frustrating sessions recently because I find myself dropping to the flats all the time. So happy I came across this tutorial, will definitely start practicing these tips!!!

[@LongboardSessions]

Oh thats great! Yea it's frustrating.. but once you learn to stay high it changes everything!

[@pineurmothertm6752]

Hey! Any updates about your "flats" struggle ?

[@pe9833]

Same!!! I am so shit scared of the wall sometimes haha. Thanks for the tips 🙏

[@kenreese51]

Of all the video tutorials I have watched over the last 4 years, yours are without doubt the best, most informative, humorous, hands down!! You also frequent the same beaches as we do. Something I would like a deep dive into is backside pop ups and surfing. Like you, I am goofy but regardless, many of us seem to have a mental or technical block with backside starting with the pop up! Thanks for all you do! I (we) get more out of your videos than any other. Maybe see you at Howell ave one day!

[@LongboardSessions]

Awesome thanks bro! Well the best piece of advice I could give with the backside pop up is make sure you're looking down the line. Also, practice popping up where your right hand immediatley goes to touch the wave face. This opens up your shoulders and makes backside a little easier

[@sirlancenotalot2765]

Man, I'm goofy and can pretty much ONLY surf backhanded. I find it really hard to surf front hand, I know this is weird. This effects my surfing as backhanded you have less visibility of the wave I find

[@kevinlucey2146]

Been surfing for a few years and never before did I hear about the importance of being close to the wave face, staring at it, or trying to touch it. Cannot wait to try this out. Thank you.

[@SeanLarkan]

Exceptionally well done and funnier than MOST comedians; bloody brilliant. Looks like the young fella has Dad’s touch too!

[@markmidgley2157]

Great vid. I loved it. First rode the line in Cornwall U.K. when I’d just hit 16 yrs old after riding broken waves for a few weeks. It was just as you described, and I was hooked! I still so vividly remember that first clean glassy hump of water pulling me along. Oh, forgot to say - that was 42 years ago. Treated myself to a beautiful new board just last summer Keep the faith. Again GREAT vid! Mark 👌

[@LongboardSessions]

Wow not bad after just a few weeks haha! I actually felt the power for the first time on a bodyboard when I was around 13. I just decided "I'm gonna try and go sideways on this wave" and my mind exploded haha. Thanks for the kind words!

[@spencerehler11]

I never comment on KZbin- but these tricks/hacks made today one of the best surfing days I’ve ever had-the quick pop up, looking ahead, tried touching the wave. GOOD results! Thank u! Also, you’re very entertaining 😂 which was helpful in keeping my interest 😂

I went out this morning after six months of not surfing and I was terrible. I had put on weight, my arms were sore and my general aerobic fitness poor. I was exhausted after ten minutes. I didn't even catch a wave as my paddling power didn't exist. Waves were a perfect shape 2 to 3 feet.. Funny your video popped up. As I've watched this before, it reminded me to not give up, start eating better foods and work on my core strengths (push ups sits ups and stretching. Thank you again for this inspiring clip. Cheers

I went back to your first video then had another look at this one. Not only has your video and editing skills improved (including the unpaid extras!) but your tips are really hitting the mark for a lot of people. Getting back to the point of this video, I have taught my family and friends how to surf and angling the board to get speed up as quickly as possible has been a crucial skill to ensure they remain upright which increases the opportunity to enjoy the surfing experience which motivates people to continue trying. Thank you for another great video. By the way does your board wax need renewing, looks a bit old! Maybe a video on board wax could be next.

[@LongboardSessions]

Thanks so much!! SO true... it's what keeps people from quitting in my opinion. Once they experience the speed they never go back! THE WAX... it's so old i can't even remember when I first applied it. Time to remove and re apply!

[@lylepipher]

What a great video!! I normally don’t “like” or comment but I really enjoyed it, so I had to say something. It was entertaining, helpful and I look forward to testing the tips. Thanks man! Cheers!

[@shredandenjoy7311]

Nicely done! Bonus for putting that "stop" sign there, if you put it in the right place it's a REALLY easy visual indicator of your paddling trim, which really helps novices out. If you don't want to use a sticker, there's also colored wax!

Oh yea that's a great idea for paddling! My board is easy as I have the white / blue seperator.. but most boards a sticker could help

We have been learning and laughing with you for almost a year now (yes we are old kooks). In three weeks we will be approaching our one year surfaversery and as a pre celebration have a surf planned in Belmar/Avon this coming Saturday. I know you check around pre-surf can you give us any hints as to best spots/breaks to check. If you're surfing Saturday maybe we can stalk a selfie with you. By the way you are a surf celebrity in our surf world. Thanks Tony and Lynn from CT

[@LongboardSessions]

oh so cool! Well as for best spots, really anywhere is good. Looks like it's going to be small so you'll have to stick to the lower tides and surf wherever you find the biggest wave. Message me on instagram @longboard_sessions and I'll let you know if i'll be surfing on saturday.. you're more than welcome to join!

Super helpful. I'm just starting to be able to surf down the line on some waves occasionally. I live across the street from ocean beach in San Francisco and want to surf as well as my neighbors do.

[@LongboardSessions]

Oh nice! I got to surf OB when I was there a few months ago. Nice beach break!
