How To Stay Safe In The Surf

[@KalesBroccoli]

Yeah Ryz good tips!!

[@stewartwilkey]

Thanks for doing these, surfing is so intimidating to start and this makes it accessible for anyone

[@koolxaids3851]

Especially if your going alone

[@barakau]

This is a great surf channel. Appreciate the effort. One of the scariest experiences I've had was surfing a beach break and not realising how shallow it was. Wiped out and landed hard straight leg. Spine did not feel right for an hour after that. Never knew much about surf safety back then. Thanks for the awareness.

[@HowtoRip]

Thanks mate. Be careful!

[@livemoksha]

Great timing, I was gonna ask for a video about a beginner’s guide to reading the ocean. Thanks for the content!

Bruh i just went out first time at 6am nobody at the beach alone and the rip was pulling me out and i couldn't catch a wave in so i struggled to paddle back but no luck then i expended energy then i started to panic because i was in a tip drifting nobody to help and out of energy but then i decided to try and stand up and there was the ground 6 feet below me so i walked in but if i would have waited i would have drifted too far to stand warn people

[@aTribeCalledCasey]

A rip will pull you out to sea and push you back towards the beach eventually if you just sit

[@aTribeCalledCasey]

Usually shaped like a 🍄

[@jchristopherh5675]

@@aTribeCalledCasey you want 300lb non swimming or floating ass to try to balance on a board for half a Footbal field while the ocean decides to bring me back ??? I’d have to see someone do it before I volunteeer for that Disney ride

[@纷飞的大脚]

Sometimes when I missed a wave, or drawn into the sea by a big wave, I found it is so hard to go straight back the sitting area, cause too many white water flushing me to the shore direction, even I try to do beautiful duck dive, but I found I was still paddling at the same place with those endless white water. Finally had no choice but to go back to the shore and return from the other area. So, may I know how can I solve with the impact zoon problem, try practice padding and duck dive skill more or..? Thanks you very much

[@tjaartesterhuyse7232]

纷飞的大脚 yeah just improve paddling and conserve energy, so that you can paddle hard when the set stops and thus no white water. And then ‘rest’ when a set comes again. Try to paddle as far away from where the waves break-whitewater is the strongest there.

I wish I had this video when I started surfing. Pretty sure I’ve made all of these mistakes.

[@reforest4fertility]

Oh wow, i did this in the 1970's, as a kid, in Hawaii, where I've never found the south sides very rippy. But in 1990 I tried surfing at Kuta & Pura Uluwatu, where i got ripped each time, but not in any good way. It does make sense like before each wave floods in, water will rush out to feed it. Same would go for each set, or wave of waves, that much water rushes out between sets to feed the next set. How a "rip" fits into this, or even what a "rip tide" is, i dunno? Maybe i just got lucky avoiding getting swept out in Hawaii & got unlucky caught in wrong place consistently in Bali, that i don't even know. I just suspect the ocean dynamics are different in each place. For instance, Bali is in a bit of a straight, where Hawaii is out in mid Pacific. I hope folks who aim to get out there & try surfing will check this out for safe inspiration.

Great film thanks

[@andrikrslovic3400]

Not a surfer but got a boogie board and want to try it out but I also have a healthy, respectful fear of the ocean. This is a fantastic video!

[@HowtoRip]

Thanks for the feedback and that is a great way to look at it!

[@LofiLove-x4n]

what are you scared of? juat saying stastically tou have a better chance dying on the way to the beach than sharks or rips

[@LukeAMcDowell]

@@LofiLove-x4n I saved a guy one time that got caught in a rip on a boogie board. I put him on my surf board and pushed him in. I was pretty exhausted by the time I got him in. I think most people don’t have enough respect for the ocean.

[@saajidmuhtasim]

Do you think it's a necessary skill to know how to swim before I hop into the surf as I am a beginner?

[@lukereynolds96]

Yes 100%, Not knowing how to swim can be very dangerous! Your not gonna be on your board paddling all the time; you can fall off, Leashes can get snapped and you lose your board and you have to swim in etc. So yes, Learn how to swim well before you go in the surf!

[@andrescurls29]

I would go as far to say not even just knowing how to swim, but to have VERY strong swimming skills and confidence. This is a good question as this does not occur to some people who want to start surfing.

[@Hoptropolis]

I agree with the previous comments , it’s super important to be a good swimmer....however i’v surfed over 100 times now, at the same number of different beaches (travelling) and I can’t swim too good, I guess it’s luck nothing bad has happened and I’ve lost my board, but like the video says it’s risk assessment, don’t go out when it’s huge, don’t paddle out to far beyond walking distance, and learn to swim whilst learn to surf!

[@HowtoRip]

Very important.

[@ap5194]

Not knowing how to swim and jumping into the sea is possibly one of the most dangerous things one can do. Even the most accomplished pool swimmers can panic in the surf as it can be unpredictable.

[@richardmartin6949]

Thanks for that......

[@richardmartin6949]

Once you've found yourself in a rip current bit you won't forget about it. I was on my sup and wasn't dragged away or anything, but an old lady trying to have a swim was and she ended up half drowned.

[@HowtoRip]

Absolutely!

[@ryanvanscoder7045]

What about bait fish and sharks?

[@HowtoRip]

Not much you can do

[@nathanielguillory9088]

To add on DO NOT BELLY FLOP IF YOUR FALLING FROM THE TOP OF THE WAVE ESPECIALLY WHEN SHALLOW if your falling from the top of the wave DO NOT JUMP fall feet first at a 25° angle so you go flat and not hit the reef

[@jasonmorris858]

Surfing safely for me as the owner of Tabata is about thinking twice about not wearing atleast a 3mm-2mm spring suit if in the tropics a neoprene vest there's reason see the warning that aehy was given is sum guy said when aehy was 16 years old "There was a surfer who dropped acid in the evening then decided to go for a night surf he got dumped then swam down and drowned" see with your wetty you bob up you'll possibly get disoriented.

driving to the beach 1 in 107 death .... stuck by lighting 1 in 1 million

[@TheKevdarling]

@@LofiLove-x4n around 4 million lightning strikes every day on earth, so is not a good idea to surf during a storm

[@Ryy22]

Someone died yesterday at my beach/jetty break. They got smashed against the jetty rocks and knocked unconscious

[@HowtoRip]

That’s no good. Be careful

[@jasonmorris858]

Hey grommets before you can call yourself some skeg spend the first half of your first surf coast holiday trying to sit on a cliff edge figuring out wave sets see no aehy am not any real skeg but not any beginner some sand surfer however aehy have a 3/2 and vest for buoyancy see you should make the effort to do some snorkeling around Mon-Fri when it's quite you'll really learn any beach then, kowabungah!
