How to surf perfect waves on your own (all the time)

[@dodge5629]

Ok I have assessed my best local break. Can you do a video on what I should tell work as to why I need the day off.

[@KalesBroccoli]

“Sorry the crash is coming anyway - I’m out”

[@adaml475]

Covid seems to work well at the moment, the kids are sick is a good one. I've been kid napped by Somalia pirates is a classic, which can only be used once though.

If you live on the east coast of Australia “I lost my wheel from hitting a pothole, I might be a few hours late”

[@BlueDolphinBlues]

I quit

[@yolochristophergaming3553]

You should call out and say that you’re sea sick and you need the vitamin C :)

[@jamestown4867]

Back in ‘73 my uncle wanted to go fishing off a spot just Eva of Pearl Harbor. I saw some nice waves and got my board and enjoyed complete privacy. After paddling in, I came across a local fisherman and asked why the surf was so uncrowded. He said, “eh, get too many shark because da navy dumping da slop.”

[@finalben7]

I appreciate how you always find new ways to help the every day surfer.

[@yoshdvid8130]

I love your thought process about waves. I remember in your previous video (and this one) you mentioned about waves forming thousands of miles away and we channel that energy in a form of surfing (or to that effect). That thought makes me appreciative and how lucky we are to be able to receive the gift of nature when surfing, and sometimes punish us 😂

[@KalesBroccoli]

🙏🏽

[@NCSurf888]

Man I do love Surfline but I can think of multiple days that it was predicting 2-3 poor waves and then I show up and get 3-4 semi glassy. It’s right most of the time but I’ve had some very inaccurate reports as well

[@samcolvin5825]

Forecasting is always not gonna be 100%. Sometimes it’s more fun to be surprised tho at your favorite spots.

[@jaydawg4732]

That's why Surfline is great. Whenever the cam shows beautiful waves but it says "Poor", you know you'll have a nice, uncrowded surf on some sweet waves :)

[@NCSurf888]

@@jaydawg4732 great point, haha

[@lucianamarsili7121]

Beautiful shots!

[@brendanscott4677]

I think this could of been done with alot more detail of what I am actually looking for in a swell/wind/break. Pick 2-3 local breaks and then relate them to Surfline patterns. What should I be looking for? Wind direction for this type of break? What does the swell pattern mean? It has so much information how do we dissect that not just "oh go look at the cams"

[@hopelst]

Agree. There was a ton of info that most of the surfers don’t know how to deal with like okay, the longer the period of the swell - the faster the wave, but so what? How can I get that info in an app and what should I do with this info?

[@rsnp-a-x-e350]

punters hate him.... that'll drive less customers to surfline. knowledge is power

[@danielmurphy1793]

I'd like to see another episode of this that does tell me what all the information within Surfline means because I have 0 idea. This didn't really give us a lot to go on.

[@inFAMOUSBeatsGFx]

Awesome! Speed bump at 4:26 😅

[@timwannell6477]

Really appreciate your approach towards helping the average folk surf 👍

[@OEFarredondo]

Woooo! miss yah bud. Love the videos and thank you so so so much for your time, effort, and surfing

[@mattperreault3518]

Some good info in this vid. Mostly the part when she said surf all day everyday. I’m in!!

[@austinadams1732]

Every great surfer sells out. I guess that means Kale is a great surfer now that he sold out to surfline :) Kidding, I love your videos!

[@questforlefts1080]

Great content as always, was that the chilli midstength in the video? Curious how you get on with this board in smaller weaker waves? Cheers

[@KalesBroccoli]

It was an album Townsend 🙏🏽

[@logantaueki9149]

Awesome video bro. Thanks for that, could even dive deeper in a part two one day.

[@bonefishboards]

Is anyone old enough to remember 'SurfFax?' Or maybe it was 'SurFax?' A precursor to 'Surfline' by Sean Collins. I still have the all of the monthly reports and region details for various locations around the world. Geez, I'm old.

[@andrewdean7917]

Bob Evens ! 2SM Beach Bureau ....( Tweet tweet of seagulls overdub ! ) 70s GOLD , was my go to and he was bang on Most of the time.

[@_N4te_]

What do I do if I lose my board? I was surfing and my leash got ripped off my leg as it was a big wave and I’m on a longboard. I just want to know because if I was deeper I don’t know if I would be able to swim back. I am a descent swimmer though.

[@user-qj6nx9ss7v]

Katie looks like a really nice person. I'm from Socal and she looks like so many of my friends I grew up with. I want to surf superbanks with you guys. 😄

[@dougkercher102]

You are welcome if you would like to surf with 300 new "friends" and get a leftover every hour.

[@jaspervanloo9864]

Surfline and MSW are far from accurate in my general area. Surf-Forecast and WindGuru are closer, but best is the local sms service from the local meteorologist/surfer! Find out which service is most accurate for your local spots before tying yourself at expensive subscriptions.

[@tg5834]

Great, thanks for all the tips and info, lets all go to the right place, at the best time and crowd the place out.

[@nevanevans]

I have a lot of beach to myself.. I live where it's cold and wet. Some winter days are magic though. Pnw wa state S

[@WaveFlightSimulations]

You ever dealt with ACL reconstruction recovery, sucks cant push surf for like 12 months

[@anthonycleary1401]

Any shark nets out at that spot KALE???

[@nyguyable]

How do you get internet in your surf van without taking massive data?

[@ryanrussell1578]

Fantastic video thanks

[@timnawrocki2349]

I almost feel like I know Katie Jackson, from reading her forecasts each weekday; she's ever the optimist and stokesperson when it comes to the waves and conditions in Perth. XD

[@joeytosic9690]

Awesome vid kale really appreciate the great content mate also what would be your favourite board? 🤙

[@KalesBroccoli]

Changes depending on the conditions! Loving my twinnies at the moment

[@towdjumper5]

Great Stuff!!!

[@studleytrey]

At the start I felt a little "ok, here we go…" 🙄 with the promotion, even though I totally get it and not mad at all at ya doing what you gotta do, but this was interesting and informative, and I appreciate how you can balance that. Really enjoy your vids. I use a combination of Magic Seaweed and Surfline to get a general sense, but am fortunate enough to be able to pop over to the beach in 5 mins. when there's potential, as they tend to be a little inconsistent. Say, what's the midlength you're rocking there, Kale?

[@KalesBroccoli]

Album Townsend 7’0 Thank !

[@adambamf9365]

back in 89-1991 me and dad would sometimes not even read the paper before making our way to the beach dad would just look what way the clouds were going and hed be like yeap might be worth a look and wed cruise down for a surf then in 1994 we had our first toll phone surf report and it was something like 2.90 a minute i remember being grounded so much for calling it too much to the point dad put a lock on the phone before that it was truly a case of you wont know until you go and look now all a grommet has to do is a 30 second google search and bam report done.

[@PectusPT]

oooo I know what spot that is haha - thanks for the tip ;)

[@Bentheamazingsufer]

Thanks for explaining how a wave is made. I’ve been wondering why for a while.

It’s easy to find an uncrowned wave when a great white make a cameo appearance.

CoastalWatch Surf Check app was SO much better than Surfline. How Australia has allowed this American take-over is beyond me. Coastwatch Surf Check was FAR MORE ACCURATE and we could check the surf cams for FREE. 😭 Australia’s property sold to America, then Australians have to pay a subscription for it to America for the rest of forever.

[@johnanthonycafe2993]

Wow you are amazing. You made coffee then you went surfing. How can I be like you ?

[@KalesBroccoli]

1: try harder 2: stop trolling and do something

[@johnanthonycafe2993]

Kale Brock I’m over surfers that think we’re interested in their back story. They all have a coffee, a shit, get dressed then drive to the beach. That’s when the action starts. Not before. You’re just being vulgar when you pretend you’re telling a story and you’re just the surfing equivalent of the Kardashians.

[@stevitos]

Tbf making a coffee and then going surfing is all i really want to do

[@johnanthonycafe2993]

Ad for Surfline, which I subscribe to and is frequently wrong

Really? Nice ad. Great channel overall, but come on man!

[@KalesBroccoli]

May I ask if you’ve ever paid for any of my content before? Patreon? The surfers roadmap? In-person clinics?

[@AVangarDIsrael]

@@KalesBroccoli man you shouldn't bash your viewers like that. Yeah sure, you don't owe us anything... but we are still the viewers that make your channel thrive. And there is a decent way to make a sponsored video, here, the video provide 0 information beyond "this is a wave, it is created in the ocean and some beaches good some beaches bad" Yeah man! nice info! at least address it somehow besides a poor mention in the beginning or the end. I really like most of your videos, but this one stands out as very content free video whether you like it or not.

@@KalesBroccoli There's nothing wrong with promoting or having a company support you. It's what keeps you afloat. My problem is how this particular video was presented. that's all. Just my opinion. And no I have not. I just get out there and surf as often as I can.

[@ricksurf60]

Why does Surfline "NEVER" talk about weather modification on a "Global Level"??? Answer that Katy, please. All countries are involved in weather modification. The US Military said 20 years ago they would "OWN THE WEATHER BY 2025", that means they owed it 20 years ago!!!

[@casper2095]

"Brought to you by Surfline" actually means...? They gave you money to feature their product to your audience, is that right? Thanks for making that clear. I value transparency because it retains credibility. I appreciate you are making a living and don't grudge that. But I'm not sure how I feel about "product demos" which are not blindingly obviously branded as such. If you're really obvious and transparent then I guess that's... great! But, as you grow into this territory, I'd really love it if you keep it clear (a) if there was a deal and, if you're brave, (b) details of the deal. I hate to suggest but, with a firm tradition of transparency under your belt, one of the perks might be that you can take money from causes/people you're not entirely sold on, but everyone will know it's not-so-much your endorsement, but your need to eat, buy boards, petrol, camera gear etc. and thus any negative experience with the product reflects on the product, rather than your endorsement of it.

May I ask if you are commenting as a student of mine on The Surfer’s Roadmap or as a Patreon member or someone who has attended a retreat of mine? Just before I frame a response I’d like to know if you’ve ever paid for my content :)
