5 steps to PERFECT POSITIONING in the surf

[@Jim-fe2xz]

Being older and not interested in drama I tend to find those "undercapitalize" areas. The thing is that as soon as I start riding I find myself with some new "friends"! LOL! In the end it's all good!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Hahaha always!!!

[@AndrewCooperr]

Putting a lot of time in at spots and surfing the same spot frequently really helped me learn how to navigate and get waves. Surfing new spots is where it gets tricky for me sometimes.

[@KalesBroccoli]

🤙🏽 for sure!!

[@hdrnbnt3532]

Yeah but Surfing new spots will improve your wave lecture. We call this Marine Sens in France. Adversity and failure will make you learn. You do not learn by succeeding all the time. Get out of your confort zone if you aim to improve your surfing skills. But do never put yourself or the others in danger by misjudging you ability to surf a advanced, shallow, hollow barreling canvas. Say Hi ! Put a smile on your face and respect Locals they might save your life.

[@AndrewCooperr]

@@hdrnbnt3532 Completely agree! I throughly enjoy surfing new spots and learning new waves. It does improve your wave knowledge and surfing exponentially. Love talking with locals anywhere I go, good vibes all around 🤙🏼 When in doubt, don’t go out. I live by that motto.

[@RossWIlliamson-ro9ps]

I think another good tip Kale is for people to try and read the lineup. That is, if there are a few breaks or peaks along a beach, try and go to a peak where the surfers are less experienced. Trying to catch waves with high quality, more experienced surfers means less waves for those at intermediate or beginner level.

[@litch1654]

I'm from Morocco... I don't even surf but i like to see people surfing and catching waves, keep it up my friend ! sooner or later i will get into this.

[@GingerMate-e2d]

Sooner is better ;)

[@snadshots]

Hey Kale. This morning I tried sitting on the inside more and moving forward in that Y shape left or right to identify and catch waves. It unlocked so much for my session! Excited to keep practicing with that approach. Thanks!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Love that!! Exciting

[@seang2424]

Thanks for all Kale ....ive got the whole beech to myself here in brittany..🤣🤣its to cold for most 52 and still learning . Have a Great Holiday all

[@KalesBroccoli]

C’est parfait!!

[@francoruiz]

Kale, noticed you've stepped up your surf game! Looking smooth out there, keep it up

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you 🙏🏽 always coaching myself as well

[@francescoaccattoli8692]

Hi Kale, I always appreciated yours tutorials, I'm a teacher and I would like tell you that you are an excellent teacher, consider this when you'll come back to Australia (I read your post on Instagram few days ago...) and keep going with your mission, or rather, to give hope to all of us😅. Merry Christmas Kale! Thanks for all

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you!! ☺️☺️

[@rctrix9063]

Waves that jack up quickly are usually the most difficult to catch. For these you have to guess when to get to your feet. If you wait you just run short of time. Sometimes you should drag your feet when you're ahead of the wave too much....... Always a good show 👍

[@MermaidTayles]

Thanks Kale, I'm a beginner and that was really helpful

[@marcelosrocha]

Boas dicas. Voltei a surfar em 2023, depois de 10 anos parado por problemas no coluna( Hérnia de Disco na lombar); hoje com 50 anos eu encontrei muitas dificuldades de dropar, mas assim que havia boas ondas entrava no mar e mesmo tomando muitas ondas na cabeça e com uma prancha velha e pesada, insisti e depois de uns 3 meses meu surf melhorou e drop mais rapido agora. Boas Festas e um 2024 de muito surf. Mahalo.

[@stevensleeswijkvisser2648]

Tx so much ! Great stuff ! Could you please also do more stuff on surf etiquette because line ups are getting more busier and people don't always know the rules. Thanx again :))

[@surfk]

Thank you for this video. It gave me some intuitive help. 🤙

[@KalesBroccoli]

Glad to hear it!

[@valerionini5680]

Just swap to a 5’10 greedy beaver after 4 years of minimals. After 2 sessions I feel confident in paddle and swim around, but i keep missing as the surfer at min 3.50… i will try to focus on positioning as u suggest, maybe it is the key to the next level

[@paola.insuasty]

Amazing video ❤ I'm going to implement them on my surfing sessions this year. Thank you!

[@Chebab-Chebab]

This time last year, I was in Bali ... surfing badly. I went to Cimaja at least 3 times this year and ... surfed badly. So, frustrated, I booked a surf camp in Bali. Day 1, I got a really simple tip that got me more waves in 2 sessions than all the other times that year.

[@Ancient88Wisdom]

What was it?

[@Chebab-Chebab]

@@Ancient88Wisdom There were 3 in total. 1. Shoulders facing forward. I'd picked up a habit of having my shoulders sideways and hadn't noticed. 2. Legs closed whilst paddling for a wave. I knew this, but I didn't realise I did it. 3. I found out this one by myself - I kept on stalling, so I moved my body farther up the board. I'd always been aware of (and guilty of) nose dives, but pop up practise helped prevent this.

[@boltup5566]

Step 1: Find a good peeling wave. Most of us are stuck with crappy beach break that closeout half the time. Kale Brock isn't filming at spots like El Porto or HB.

[@KalesBroccoli]

El Porto is a good wave - might be something else going on

Hi Kale ! I was wondering if you organised retreats/camps around the world with a focus on barrels ?

I'm using using soft surfboard 5'6. Is it okay for a beginner like me?

I thought surfing close to the beach make the surfer look amateurish, cos I do that all the time, maybe its a bad habit. 🤔

[@erdemulubas]

I’m in Bali. Crowd positioning doesn’t really work here. The ocean is like human soup 😅

First mistake going to Bali hahaha

I was in Bali 2 weeks ago. Where were you? I was at Padang Padang.

[@Chebab-Chebab]

@@erdemulubas Best surf session of the year: January 1st. A bit of rain kept most people away, but it cleared up to be the best session of my trip. I got at least 3 lovely long lefts at Padang Padang. Plus, I'd seen a turtle there, too, twice, when I snorkled there.
