How To Surf From Beginner To Intermediate In 20 Minutes | Step by Step Tutorial

[@Mannsy83]

Surfing saved my life. I was always depressed as a person unless I had competitive things like footy and skating. That got harder as I got older, I'm 38 now and started surfing 3 months ago, been in water everyday and am progressing very quickly.. did an air today :)

[@Abcccdwe]

Keep surfing man. Never leave it!

[@robashton5254]

Well done you 😀 keep surfing

[@lucaschis4529]

A landed AIR after 3 months?!

[@the_Dogpacker]

I've skated for almost 30 years for the same reason...unfortunately I don't live anywhere near the ocean else I'd surf, too. Just watching it relaxes me, I can only imagine how great it would feel catching a wave.

[@Jay-lr3me]

That's an amazing story cause you're clearly progressing fast, but I suffer from a similar thing, and surfing is just masking it for now.. I'd suggest trying therapy or something to help relieve the recurring depression. Wishing you all the best.

Another tip: It’s your shadow, not a shark 🍻🤙😂

[@jessereyna]

This is so good 😂

[@Chebab-Chebab]

Unless it's a shark.

[@DoItYourselfDad]

I've been surfing for coming up on 30 years, my daughter started surfing last year, this is the first summer she's been surfing 100% on her own (no boosting into waves, paddling herself out etc.) She's now working on progressing her skills and watching these videos with her is a HUGE help (sassy pre-teens don't always want to listen to Dad) Great job with your content! Thank you!

I live a few houses from the beach in NJ. I love the ocean love the beach. I’ve been so terribly depressed and have found it hard to find joy in much these days. I haven’t been on a surf board in over 10 years. I just went and bought a new board. I’m excited and nervous but it’s great to feel something other than blank. Im looking forward to this new hobby and chapter.

[@leehorrocks5253]

Hi Jason, yeah apart from the old muscles needing some exercise, it was pretty much like riding a bike, bit of a few wobbles to start but quickly remembered... I practiced pop ups like mad beforehand too.. But yeah its literally like riding a bike or having a go on a skateboard after a few years

[@locksmithdb5987]

Thanks man for doing all your videos. I don’t get to surf much. Paddling strength and fitness are my biggest failing. Your landlocked tips and workouts are helping me work towards better fitness to when I finally go surfing again.

Another tip. When paddling into a wave, along with looking down the line, make sure you are also looking behind you as to make sure you don't cut someone off.

The paddling strength...yeah that's put me in my place but I'm getting up near to that 85% of the time on a pretty small board (borrowed) so I think it's time to buy a board thats actually suitable for my level and keep nailing the basics!

Thank you so very much! I've surfed for almost 50 years now and when ever I'm asked "could you teach me to surf" I would say something like , I can tell you what not to do and what to do when when were in the water but there's no short cutting experience... Try fail or rip and repeat repeat repeat. It has always been difficult to explain in words. Now I have twin boys and they want to surf with me but get frustrated with my lack of teaching credentials in the line up. The way you explain these basic skills is nothing short of brilliance. Toshay mate.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you so much. 🙌🏽

[@yannwenzel8422]

First of all: Your How To's on how to rip and on your channel are awesome. Keep the good work up! What I'd love to see is more content for landlocked surfers! There are so many of us and every one of us is trying hard to get prepared for the next surf trip. All with the goal to be able to enjoy our short time in the waves to the fullest. But there is not so much content on all those surf-channels that can help us... What are good exercises we can do with our surf skate? How can we exercise certain maneuvers on it? How can we simulate certain sections of a wave? What are good strength and flexibility exercises? Would be great to see some more of this stuff =)

Hey, fellow Midwesterner in the same boat, but at least have the fall waves of Lake Michigan. In my down time, push ups are key. I also "swim" with 10lb rubber exercise band 3x a week. With my hands in each handle and my foot on the middle part of the band, swim by bringing your hands arms up high over head like swimming. Immensely helpful in bringing power and endurance in the paddle!

[@jonathanlee9146]

Great advice, I especially liked you informing beginners that it’s actually easier to stand up on an unbroken wave, but a broken wave takes less skill. I’ve seen many beginners give up because they think that if they can’t stand up on a little white water wave, then how are they going to cope with a 3 footer 🌊. 👍

Especially the footwork, vision and low hips help me understand now why it is probably a lot better to keep my boom at a lower position in wave sailing unlike other conditions and why it is important that the footstraps are further apart as to bump and jump conditions and do my physical exercises. Thanks a lot for making this video. As a follow up i will need a video in combination with a sail ;)

Great video and really helpful and clear guidance. I'd love to see more surfer's POV shots when explaining wave positioning. The problem with camera shots from the beach or go pro footage that's pointing at the surfer when he's on the wave is that it all looks so different and feels so alien when you're actually there yourself. Unless you've got someone filming you, it's harder to tell if you're in the right positions on the wave. Subscribed
