As I do Snow- and Skateboarding, I always dreamed about surfing. 2 weeks ago I flew from Germany to San Diego Mission Beach and learned how to catch waves. Got 5 on my first day, what a feeling! Its true that its most easy to catch some after they're already broken. Bigger waves really wipe you out in the beginning. Most difficult was not catching the wave but finding the sweet spot of balance to the front/back accordingly to the size and Power of the wave. That's what I need to work on next year somewhere.. love California! Wish you guys success!

[@HowtoRip]

Nice work!!!

@@williamsprout925 appreciate it, I stayed more days on the roadtrip than planned, because the whole environment was just awesome and people were just nice and communicative.

Welcome

[@AmberMaloneAZ]

I wanted to surf all my life but girls didn't do cool things in the 90's where I grew up (small city in Texas.) I moved to Phoenix and tried flowboarding. It's an artificial wave at 40 miles per hour. I'm, let's say, plus sized. I started 2 years ago at 38. I almost threw up with anxiety the first time but I'm ok at it, now. I'm 40 and recently landed a small jump. (There's video proof on my channel, I always assume people won't believe me.) You can do it! Don't wait as long as I did. If you surf in California, the community is not welcoming but don't let them stop you, you have as much right to be there as anyone else.

[@AmberMaloneAZ]

THANK YOU Australians for simplifying everything and genuinely trying to help the greenest of the beginners, like me. I love the Californian surf community but they are surprisingly elitist and excluding to people who don't know what they're doing. Surprising-because a lot of them are homeless and live off of food handouts from local grocers. I saw one in San Diego bite into a whole raw cabbage like you would an apple. To them, I'M the laughingstock, the kookiest of the kooks, because I don't live on the coast, so I don't get much practice and I don't know all of the 'current' surf lingo and I can't read every change in the ocean and every wave like a book. Also-I'm chunky and 40 and female. I don't really fit the brand. But, I don't care! It doesn't stop me from riding an artificial wave in Phoenix! I landed my first small jump (there's video proof on my channel.) People don't have to like it, I do what I want. Videos like this fuel my empowerment. Thank you!

[@HowtoRip]

Definitely give it a shot!

[@Arsopu]

Finally caught my first wave, watched all of your videos and stored that information, stitching the steps together in the moment proved the biggest obstacle.. Day 1 I take my 100kg lanky ass to the beach with a 6ft 27litre board that I've borrowed. Spent a lot of time swimming, getting rolled, mostly underwater! Day 2 recovered from the toll it put on me getting beaten by the surf. Day 3 went out, now committed, took some professional advice and purchased a new more appropriate sized board. Went to the beach and after 30mins I put it all together and caught a wave, also caught the bug, lived on the coast for a few years and never even considered trying this as a sport but I can see myself there whenever I can now. Thanks for the videos! 👌

[@HowtoRip]

Great work, you will have the bug for life now! 100kg and a 27litre board would have been a disaster! Hope you're on something bigger now.

[@br0o7k]

I've always been a little on edge with the ankle strap, Mainly due to the fact I used one when I was younger and when the waves hit me too hard I was thrown under my board and since the board floated and I didn't I was trapped upside down underwater by my ankle strap which I eventually had to mission-impossible kick of my leg to prevent me from drowning.

Hey dude, thanks for the vid btw

[@heistandhorses876]

Great instructions! Thanks so much! I caught my first waves today, thanks to this! I have never surfed before and do not live near the ocean, but decided I wanted to try and surf so I rented a surf board, with no instructions other than this video and did better than my dad, who has had lessons and done it before.
