I LOVE WHOEVER DID ALL THE RESEARCH ON THIS.

[@tind_0]

Am I the only experienced surfer who just loves to watch these even tho I don’t need them like I just find them so relaxing to watch at night in my bed

[@botaccount3449]

Possibly the best beginner channel

[@wyattyan7067]

BEST tutorial of all time!!!! As a 1 month beginner, I'm catching unbroken waves consistently now(during my 5th time surfing). Gonna keep practising following this channel's videos!!!

[@eliasadam2345]

Really great advice. On one mention I was always told to paddle harder by surf instructors if I missed a wave. Glad this video talks about that. Biggest things I learned on my own to catch waves easier. I stay further back than everyone else waiting on a wave, I paddle earlier when I see a wave coming to get some momentum going before I even decide to go for a wave. Kind of like a plane having a longer runway to take off. I don't paddle fast and aggressively if I'm going for the wave. I just take longer and harder strokes instead of frantically increasing my arm speed like you see a lot of people do who are too late on a wave and trying to catch it last minute.

[@alanrizer3579]

Dead on. I've been figuring a lot of this out in the water lately and seeing this video I'm thinking wow, I wish saw this a year ago. Thanks for the upload!

[@wW-ns6uu]

Such a comprehensive video with great visuals 👍

[@michelleohlhoff5842]

I am very lucky to live in Jeffreys Bay with plenty of good surf spots! This info helps so much to recognise what I am doing wrong and what I am doing right! I am 42 and have been surfing for almost a year now. (Late bloomer I know!) These tips really help me advance and trouble shoot!

[@tiagomed18]

There's a lot of sharks in South Africa, How do you handle that situation?

[@filipebosnardi3838]

I'd like to know if it's a good place for longboard surfing?

[@kevincmejia]

i NEEDED THIS INFO, thank you, ive been struggling to assess the right moment to catch the wave sometimes I feel is not enough or too much but little times I feel is the right moment

[@Tain_Editz]

I love this channel and great videos keep up the work by the way today was the first day I ever surfed I surfed in cocoa beach using a rented Ron Jon surf shop surfboard and me and my sister caught exactly 10 waves in 2 hours

[@lucasgin1997]

Your videos are the best youtube can bring us

[@gauchosonico82]

Best tutorial ever

[@rajhoney1902]

Amazing video

[@niconine268]

A really great piece of work this tutorial

[@jgonsalk]

Great content as usual! I'd recommend renaming the video title to something more catchy so it gets more views. Maybe "How to Catch Unbroken Waves (The Comprehensive Guide for Beginners)" or something like that?

[@AliyaBurkit]

This is so useful! Thank you!

[@suzieontheroad]

Can you explain please? I'm so confused by everything and everyone with different theories and take off tips 🥲🤷🏾‍♀️

[@gaetano3538]

I watched one of your videos on the basics of standing up and was instructed to keep legs flat with toes at the end of the board. In this video I repeatedly see the guy in the black bodysuit, bending his legs with his feet up in the air, and then putting his feet down quickly and standing up, which one is the proper technique?

[@barefoot_surf]

Longboarders can bend their knees up as the person is in this video when they are gliding along a small wave. It has nothing to do with their pop up technique. It is a small movement that can sometimes help the surfer gain momentum if they are trying to stick on a small wave!

If my body weight is 245 pounds can it works?

Nusa Lembongan... I miss!

I’m just moving in to catching unbroken waves. It’s sooo hard 😢 I haven’t got my first one yet
