BEGINNER SURFERS | Fix These Common Mistakes

[@nternetrat]

I will totally be soaking in this video I was out in the water today and chatting with this other surfer, and she said she watches videos on youtube to learn, and I asked her if she knew Kale Brock and she was like "yeah!! (in unison with an Australian accent) kales broccoli!"

[@garryhoban4771]

I have been surfing for 40 years (not very well) and I really enjoy these videos. They are so informative because you are teaching us about the often unspoken nuances of surfing. Very informative so thanks Kale.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thanks Gary!

[@footkinetics]

Another fantastic video Kale. You have a real gift in understanding the intricates of surfing & another gift in explaining/articulating the finer vital points in enabling efficient maneuvers & subsequent progression. The WSL should have an award for internet coaching - you’ll get it (Chris Mills would be a close runner-up)! 👍🤙

[@RynoJM]

Thanks for all the tips Kale. My new surfing mantra is Flow, Go, Slow, Low.. Watch for the flow of the wave, look the direction to I want to go, popup slow and stay low..

[@KalesBroccoli]

🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@quimlima]

Kale, great video! Next edit, it would be great to hear some tips about some topics that arent always spoken of: paddling in and out, how not to paddle into someones line, how to bail off the board…what to do when a wave you are paddling on to starts to close in!

[@KalesBroccoli]

[@benjaminwesercreative]

the sliding up and staying low comment in the end really changed my popup game

[@joshtraceysurfing]

Good tutorial, loved the description on bottom turns not being a maneuver per se when trying to get into the speed section of the wave (about 6.05 in). Something that I do naturally, but have never heard it broken down like that before. Great lesson for beginners!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thanks josh that’s great!

[@lincolnyeti]

quality - amasing to be able to see and listen to your advice to your students. thank you

[@thibautmairesse1374]

Mobility exercises from Nick are really good! I have only started doing them only a few months ago and I can really feel the difference with my take off and paddling 👍 Thanks for sharing Kale!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Yes! Nice work Tibo!

[@feargaming439]

Can you do a video on finding the right wetsuit for you and your area

[@boltup5566]

I didn't need the beginner stuff but watched anyway to avoid the election news. The yoga dude was really helpful. Thanks kale!

Sending thanks from Oahu. i love your vids thank you so so so much. without your vids i would still be stuck as a beginner. Ive been watching your vids for the past 9 months and now im getting barreled and carving big waves and small ones so thank you

[@KalesBroccoli]

Nice one Tai!!

[@amberbaldockdrums7185]

Love it, seeing vids like this help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Honestly im still struggling with knowing when to pop up, it seems like everytime i paddle into a green wave i just nose dive or pull off because im too scared 😳

[@KalesBroccoli]

Angie your take off!

[@amberbaldockdrums7185]

@@KalesBroccoli oh true! I've been paddling straight for the beach 🤦‍♀️

[@jim5549]

More great tips Kayle! I've been working on getting my confidence back too - staying out of the way on the smaller waves the guys outside don't take. Switching to a shorter (hybrid) board in the steep local waves has helped too & I find I don't feel as rushed popping up. Might remind folks entering the water and paddling out to be aware of surfers taking off on waves. See a lot of people unaware of what's coming at them lately.....

[@shredpuppy]

Really thankful for these. Really insightful.

Thanks for being you! Your content is visual and to the point! Love it 👍

Not Kale “Broccoli” anymore?!

Too many ppl took it seriously and called me Kales 🙄

[@bracvideo]

Thanks! Great information.

[@regev52]

great content and very helpful 👍

[@cades.clips101]

Hey kale when you do surf breakdowns of body mechanics and stuff and when it’s in slow motion could u replay the same clip with your same voice over on it but flip the screen for all of us goofy foot surfers please. Just for the slow motion breakdowns not a flipped screen for the whole video. Plus it will make your videos a little longer.

[@KalesBroccoli]

It’s easier to leave the goofy footers goofy and the naturall footers natural but I’ll try to keep it in mind

[@Jim-fe2xz]

Always great tips!

[@iaklelar3141]

Can u do like very good beginner to advanced

[@KapoorAri]

Hey Kale, glad to see this video! I just switched to a short board(33L so not too high performance) but I struggle with my pop up the most and usually feel like the drop is too steep when I’m about to pop up. Do you think this is in my head or could I possibly be doing something wrong that is putting me at a bad angle? Any tips would help!

[@boltup5566]

You probably switched too fast.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Paddling issue

[@DoominMacGruber]

Woah insanely informative and helpful video Kale!! I’m gonna have to go ahead and join your Patreon after watching this... incredibly digestible!! Cheers!

Ah that’s greT Ryan! See you in there!

[@traceyeales6497]

Love it!! Totally me in most of these cases lol... signed up for your skate course too :)

[@KalesBroccoli]

That’s awesome Tracey! Hope you’re enjoying ultimate surf skate

[@justintorbati723]

Hey kale, when you were discussing turning... if I want to go right would I want to angle my board a smidge to the right before the wave approaches me and While I am paddling? OR do I keep the board straight and only start turning once I am in the peak of the wave?!

[@KalesBroccoli]

A smidge yeH!

[@lucasawad4212]

hey kale! thoughts on the slater designs cymatic? i live in a place without many swells so any other suggestions on birds for waves 1-8 feet

[@KalesBroccoli]

Not super stoked on if

[@leviwatts2364]

hey kale just wondering what board i should be progressing to from a 6 foot softie. love the vids bro keep it up. aroha from nz

[@KalesBroccoli]

Transition to an appropriately volume regular board :)

@@KalesBroccoli thanks heaps bro! if your doing one of those surf camps over here I'd be super keen

[@barelomusic]

Hi kale! I have been surfing for around 4 years and my paddling and behavior in the sea with the board is pretty good. But the only missing part is my pop up. 4 years that I've been struggling with my pop up. I perform it almost perfectl on land. But in the water I tend to fall a lot and miss good waves, even though my positioning is great before takeoff , I just mess up everything when I try to pop up!!! I really need your guidance and help cause it kills my progression😢 I have short Achilles tendons and I think that might be the thing that makes it harder for me.

[@KalesBroccoli]

If you can get some footage of yourself popping up on a wave you could purchase an online analysis from my website and I can help

[@barelomusic]

@@KalesBroccoli I have a Gopro and a mount especially for my board will it be enough?

Yoga is great but should you need to be a yogi to surf? What will be the fallback when you're +60? "Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world" Archimedes. This statement contains the answer to ever physical challenge.
