I LOVE WHOEVER DID ALL THE RESEARCH ON THIS.

[@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!!!

[@wW-ns6uu]

Such a comprehensive video with great visuals 👍

[@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!

[@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.

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

[@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?

[@cyrilmagit2270]

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

[@lucasgin1997]

Your videos are the best youtube can bring us

[@AliyaBurkit]

This is so useful! Thank you!

[@niconine268]

A really great piece of work this tutorial

[@agniyogabyinessa]

This is the most fundamental video on take offs 😮 wow you covered it all! Let’s see if I can apply this in real life 😅 today we have good conditions and I’m ready!

[@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?

[@beccaGloryToJesus]

God bless you guys❤.

[@giacomolatella8132]

GOD is not involved. How stupid

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

[@billnye8143]

Great

Where is this surfing spot

Nusa Lembongan... I miss!

[@Nogestic]

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

[@Uthu777]

This is nuclear science for my tiny brain 😮😮😮😂

[@davidtalbot6842]

Imagine exclusively using km/h and hoping you looked like a competent tutorial channel though

[@tomlee1202]

Who's the male surfer in the video? Would like to follow him on ig

[@marcielynn4886]

The sooner you stand up the better
