I really like the point you made about being able to keep your eye on the wave when you are paddling to the outside, instead of sitting outside paddling in. My neck is not what it use to be, thus I struggle to look over my shoulder to see how the wave is developing. Nothing feels better than hunting a peak, paddling to it and catching it with a pivot and two strokes. (I would appreciate an advanced episode of this, covering the different combinations of this technique in larger waves...lefts rights backdoors, add other surfers etc)

One point about riding White water vs riding the face of a wave. When riding White water you are literally riding the moving water. However, when riding the face of the wave you are riding the moving energy that is lifting the water. The water itself isn't moving forward until it breaks. An example, throw a tennis ball out into the water. It lifts and falls with the wave but doesn't move from it's location. It's the energy that we ride, not the water. Understanding this helps to explain the process of staying in the energy instead of riding straight and into riding the water. Throw the ball into the White water, and now the ball rolls and rides in with the water. I point this out because often beginners don't, "get it" until they finally experience riding the energy vs riding the water. Sadly, many never progress this far.

I've found surfing to be incredibly hard to learn. You're right, many never progress to the point of actually riding a green wave and performing a turn or two under control for this reason. In learning to surf proficiently, I spent about 200-300 hours over the course of the year in the water before feeling any real control over the board and connection with the wave's energy. I think people underestimate the time it takes to learn to surf, and if you don't live near a surfable break, it's unlikely that a person would have enough access to the ocean to progress effectively. Going surfing on vacation is great, but if someone can only surf a few days per year, I can't see how they could ever really learn to surf. I'm sure some have done it, but damn, it takes a loooong time to learn.

Total agree bro, awesome vid. This technique really allows you to eye off your wave rather than losing sight of it in a frantic paddle. Once you've done it for a while, older surfers on short(er) boards will appreciate the extra energy saved.

@boltup55665 жыл бұрын
Could you talk a little bit about the timing? I find beginners pivot and swing too late and the lip causes them to nose dive. I tell people to pivot and swing when the wave looks 45 degrees in the face. Also when theres some feathering at the top of the wave.

Connor Pearson changes depending on what the wave is doing obviously - very tricky to convey visually. More of a try it and see kinda deal
@jeremyfreetoroam5 жыл бұрын
Hey Connor, here's what I've found works in terms of timing. Imagine that you are trying to paddle out past the breaking waves. Do you know the moment where you aren't sure that you're going to make it out past an oncoming wave, but you do, and the wave lifts you up really high and then you kind of slap down on the backside of the wave as you continue paddling out? Well, if you would have turned your board around right at that moment and paddled back towards the shore, you would be performing the Kale's Pivot & Swing move with excellent timing. There's plenty of energy in the wave at that point to get you on a plane without having to paddle more than a couple of strokes. Have fun! Maybe I'll see you out there some time.

I must admit, I do not understand your approach to teaching surfing. You seem to think it's typical to begin on a short board, even in relatively small waves. I live in Hawaii. Everyone here starts on a long board, 9' or more, maybe an 8'6" or a bit shorter if you're a kid, but still with the spoon-nose, long board shape. No one starts on a pointy nosed 7 footer. And people stay surfing on that 9-footer for a long time. You can ride plenty big waves, over head-high on a long board, learn to turn, go down the line, go backside, grab the rail. Maybe you can't do snappy, roundhouse cutbacks, but that's for experienced surfers anyway, and by the time you're ready to do those, you've dinged up your long board and are ready for a new one anyway. Folks, start on a long board. It's easier to balance on, faster to paddle and plenty smooth riding. You can perfect all your techniques and have a lot more fun. The only disadvantage to a long board is that it's harder to punch through broken waves while paddling out, but if you study your break, you'll usually find a path where the break isn't as strong or you'll figure out the timing and paddle out after a set has passed.
