Improve Your Surfing Faster With These TWO Techniques

[@PelicanCanCancan]

I really like this idea of following a surfer that's applying your techniques and coming out better..

[@AussieDownUnder]

yep me too

[@HowtoRip]

Thanks Guy, we like it too!

[@PatrikBecomes]

That's what I'm doing also with my channel.😄

[@jasoneaton4520]

It's really hard, it's a lot less about his ability to ride waves and much more to do with his ability to paddle in bigger, better waves, to select better waves, and catch them in the right place right time.

[@fozy2349]

I watched this the night before going surfing. I have been trying to do a cutback for a long time...a very long time. And today I had 2 super clean cutbacks on the same wave. Thank you for the tips!

[@HowtoRip]

That's awesome Fozy, nice work!

[@1Nate987]

reduce the intro and get to the point quicker

[@wj6565]

Even though most of these vids are tutorials, I’m so chilled and filled with good vibes when I watch your videos🤙

[@Stephnist]

I've been surfing for a long time but I think this video definitely helps. I'm a goofy footer and always have issues doing harder frontside turns , this makes me think of because im constantly looking down the line throughout. Where as on my back hand it feels like the rails set in more because my shoulders is naturally facing the beach going along the face, so my head naturally goes with the appropriate head movement.

[@HowtoRip]

Stoked it helped!

[@andrey.3562]

Thank you for the details. I'm at this stage as well, where I'm practicing turns. This video hit the spot.

[@HowtoRip]

Great to hear Andrey, good luck!

[@PatrikBecomes]

Right on.

[@BAP785]

Me too! Thank you!

[@keithdaris6537]

Mate, to be honest, your videos are very helpful!

[@jaimehagadorn1459]

Super helpful guys. Thanks!

[@NeoNorth]

Outstanding video and clear explanations

[@HowtoRip]

Glad it helped, thanks for your support

[@SimonSaito]

Discussion of the the two techniques start at 4:04

[@davidgough3512]

Now and then, in appropiate circumstances, surfers above beginner could try alternating between leashless - to hone focus and clean up style - then back to the leash - for going more rad. The leash says," Into a bad move? Don't correct, just stay locked and go down: no worries!". With no leash the rider wants to save the board so she crouches low to get a hand near each rail, exactly the body english needed to correct a flub (assuming the back foot is over the fins). Feel free to use this in your tutorials, if in your estimation it "holds water".

[@PatrikBecomes]

Good exercise, might go for it in smaller surfs.

[@barryfromstratton]

This guy is a ripper! Yeah Jared!

[@zjh1337]

Thanks for your videos guys! Like the goofy change btw, thanks for that too!

[@HowtoRip]

Thanks for tuning in Joaquin!

How long has Jared been surfing for?

[@davidadair5056]

rock solid progress!

[@stuartgaylor2420]

Wow although Jared may not be natural biomechanically in his movements his power turns are awesome.

[@boltup5566]

Great video! He represents the average short boarder. He could turn his head even more, back towards the whitewater for an even more radical turn. Also those are great waves and hes taking off on the peak. There was one wave where he got behind a section. Good waves make a big diff too. Is that a left breaking point? Or regular beach break?

[@HowtoRip]

Thanks Connor, yeah for sure!

[@antoinebersier9949]

good video!thet key to your turns is generating more speed of bottom turn by compressing your body. also more liters on the boards will make a huge difference. aloha

[@stevenbekker3416]

Hey mate, love the videos!!! Great job!

Cheers Pete!

All i want to know is does kalesbrocoli know about this other guy you’re surfing with ?...huh...ok i said what everyone else is thinking 🤔🤣 good vid love u guys.

[@KalesBroccoli]

surfer soldier for Christ I feel cheated on, used, abused and then discarded like an old rag. There’s a lesson here: don’t give your heart to anybody.

[@Namdor2012]

Looks like your on a MR...Good vid..

[@nicelydone8017]

Can you further define “critical” turns and sections? Are they steep sections that are about to break?

[@HowtoRip]

Nicely Done, pretty much a "critical" section is a steeper, bigger, more powerful part of the wave. In the examples, note how that first white water type section, was flatter and softer. Compare that to the sections that come after, where Jarred was hitting the lip on bigger, steeper sections. If you performed the same turn on a fat section and on a steeper / more powerful section, the turn will always look and feel better on the later...It takes a higher degree of skill to do this. Does this help?

[@nicelydone8017]

How to Rip ya thanks!

[@danny.mcmartin]

When shooting POV with a Go Pro Mouth Mount, what kind of lanyard/leash do you use/recommend?

[@ElevenEightNate]

I just use paracord.

[@hermanusbernardusswart4690]

[@cmyers9593]

Pro tip: making race car noises whilst you turn, drastically improves your raditude whilst surfing

[@Strawman333]

The best surfer is the one having the most fun.

Sounds good

[@youngkevin949]

a small question if anyone could answer my dominant foot is right and i am right handed yet i surf goofy footed(right up front & left back) maybe bcz when i learnt to surf at start i had no idea so naturally i placed my right on front of the board so the question is is this wrong or should we keep our dominant foot back when surfing?

[@HowtoRip]

How long have you been surfing like this?

[@youngkevin949]

How to Rip Around a year or so 😅

[@releasetoreceive]

I am right handed, and I surf goofy and skate goofy. Regular is not even an option for me, because although I’m right handed- it’s not natural for me! Who cares what hand you write with, go with what feels more natural to you, then perfect it. :)

[@sound_board11]

If he lowered his body just a bit by bending his news at the point of going into his cutbacks, he'd have much stronger center of gravity, which releases much more speed going into his next section.

[@turtlep.9782]

The guy in minute 2:00 should try pumping to get more speed and flow (in my opinion)

[@maritalks9543]

Hey Guys I love watching your videos and I fell like they help a lot especially on thinking more when surfing and taking it more technically. I surf for 3 years (weekend surfer) I surf pretty well longboards being able even to get steeper waves on it but I was looking for mu challenge and decided to get a shortboard and I am having trouble with it. I have the habit to look down when popping up and the waves are bigger I am just not able to slide down the face ( I super scared) is that's just lack of confidence in my new toy or is that any technical thing I could do to overcome this fear? thank you so much

[@HowtoRip]

Hey Mari thanks for your support. There could be a few reasons for this, but it sounds like you need to commit more when paddling into waves on your shortboard. Basically paddle harder for longer, and don't stop until you can feel the wave pushing you along. It can feel scary, but hesitation only makes it harder! With time that scary feeling will go away. Hope this helps, good luck!

[@maritalks9543]

How to Rip thank you so much. I mean on small waves is fine I can get them it’s just big waves that I don’t feel the board under me and then I look down and then I just hesitate as you said. Thanks a million practice já perfection so I guess I just have to keep trying. 😊 good luck guys

[@jasoneaton4520]

Probably need a slightly bigger board...makes a world of difference.

[@andrewchoi1180]

where is this break? near sydney?

[@HowtoRip]

Yeah

[@djconeuk]

He needs to compress lower on his bottom turn 🤙

[@surfordieblog]

Hey there, what's the board Jared is surfing there ?

chill song - what is it?

Top turns are like grinding the lip.

[@HowtoRip]

Yes!

[@rutgersbeerman]

Anyone know the song in the background?

[@zjgvergara]

It’s better for sure, but would be even better if he kept turning and not just focus at the bottom of the wave.

Hi guys i no its off topic ,but am 6.4, was just wondering what size foamie i need ? Any help please 🤙

[@HowtoRip]

What level are you at Rich?

[@richbarraclough9773]

The very start tried in the past, but kept on falling of, but i no where I was going wrong thanks to your videos, i live a hour and a half from the sea, but i thought if i get a foamie can learn postion and paddling technique on a lake near buy, thanks again ry

[@richbarraclough9773]

Just want to active my 🍌 like kale was doing in the past videos 😂 and find the sweet spot on the board then hopefully once i get to the sea i wont have to worry about finding the best postion on the board and hopefully wont tire as much from paddle, i no its not the sea, but i was thinking it might help ?

[@HowtoRip]

Go big mate, try a 8ft foamie, the more volume the better for you right now. The increased volume will make paddling and catching waves heaps easier! The lake training sounds good too.

[@HowtoRip]

Even a 8'5 foamie? Too big isn't a problem, but too small is...

[@jasonchamberlain317]

I’m going to quit watching until you do an episode on back to basics with fun boards/long boards. As a surfer who started in my 30s and quickly developed mediocre skills on 6 foot short boards the skills did not truly get any kind of polish until I move back to the East Coast and was cajoled into using bigger boards to catch more tiny waves and can now use small boards on way more days- you young rippers with better conditions won’t have anything to do with longer boards but probably should

[@HowtoRip]

The same principles apply - everything just moves slower on bigger boards :) sorry to hear of your boycott Jason - keep shredding 🤙🏽
