POV Longboard Surf Session Manhattan Beach (not a good day in the office, bails, bails and bails)

[@shanematt]

These type of surf video's are probably more interesting to watch than highly experienced surfers doing there thing.Keep posting.

[@nateswells]

Yes dude you hit it spot on! I just like to cruise. This channel is more realistic for average people to follow. Thanks for watching brudda 🤙🏼

[@whitey6317]

dont agree at all

[@jstarr2523]

i love this video! shows how surfing really is for a lot of us. this is your first video i’ve seen, i’ll definitely be checking more out

Why are the comments on this so negative? As long as you're having fun it doesnt matter how you ride or what board you use ect. Nice video mate, jealous of those waves🤙

Yewww 🤙🏼 cheers for watching bruddah

[@adambrown3918]

Great video! I enjoyed the effort. You took some beatings out there. Those waves closed out pretty quick too! Maybe a fin change in the future for more maneuverability? I dunno. Looking forward to watching more. You have a new subscriber. 😊👍

[@nateswells]

Thanks dude I appreciate the love! 🤙🏼 Thanks for checking out the channel

Awesome vid man keep uploading. Looked fun out there! I got family in Torrance. Pretty close to here! 🙌👏

[@rgvkid250]

Your drop in paddle is good, strong. Plus your stil in the green of the wave. But your pop up needs to be quicker. You have both hands too close together too long. Once your pop up is instinctually one quick motion, you’ll be in a better position earlier in the wave. Your looking down at the board during your pop up. Look into the wave, in the direction you want to go. Wherever your looking, you’ll go. Practice at home doing burpees. Don’t let go of your board on the paddle out. Paddle hard, Turtle roll and push out, the wave will roll through you. But you have to be strong to quickly get back upright. Hope this helps. 🤙🏼

[@nateswells]

Thanks dude that helps a lot!! Its hard to see what im doing wrong most of the time but I really appreciate the feedback! Thank you! 🤙

[@c.t.6314]

With such a big board work on taking the wave earlier. You were gaining too much speed and then having trouble with the bottom turn leading to the bail. Take the wave earlier and then stall a bit to see what the wave is doing. Plant your back foot to turn the board in the direction you want to go. After that you could even walk the nose or just ride it out depending on what the wave is doing. Hope this advice helps. I was making the same mistakes a couple years ago. But when I finally caught on after watching the pros in the lineup it was a real game changer… 👍

[@paulnoble3475]

Boy. There are some experts out there. It is great that you can get waves to yourself in LA. Enjoy!

[@nateswells]

Yea it’s a bit crowded at times but thanks for watching brudda 🤙🏼

[@jamesmegill]

Cool video! Reminds me of North East Florida in the fall.

[@nateswells]

yea i brought out the wrong board this day.. a lot of close outs. Thanks for watching bruddah! yeww!

[@olafthomas528]

I'm still a beginner to and your rocking it man!

[@nateswells]

Thanks bruddah! It’s a long journey! Thanks for watching 🤙🏼 yeww!

[@Dylan-eh2xj]

Nice conditions with not that much people out! In Hawaii where im from it would be super crowded in the water work on ur pop ups more Turtle roll if u think its too steep to go over or if u think its going to break on u (only bail ur board as a last resort,its a big hazard if u bail ur board to everyone else in the water) Look at where u want to go before popping up and when u want to turn Also when u want to turn try stepping back on ur board a little more bc u said ur board wanted to go left when u wanted to go right so that might help When paddling into a wave try to paddle in on a angle,not too much tho or u will get flipped over I dont know how speed pumping works on longboards but i think its the same as on a shortboard So just compress on decompress ur body in a hard up and down motion when ur on a steeper part of the wave is the best way i can explain it It will feel a little weird at first but when u do it a couple time it will be easy It will definitely help u make the section so u dont get closed out on. Also try ur best to ride the top half of the wave,its where u will be fastest so that will also help u make turns and make sections Everyone was a beginner at some point so dont get discouraged by the negative comments as long as ur having fun is the most important thing.

[@nateswells]

Thanks for the helpful tips! I appreciate you taking the time to write all that. I learn something new every time I go surf but, I try and change it up with my 9 ft’r and 7’6 funboard every now and then. Yeeoo! 🤙🏼

[@Dylan-eh2xj]

@@nateswells yeah ofc! Also heres some more tips If ur wanna make ur fun board faster and more maneuverable I suggest a Twin plus trailer or like when the center fin is a little bit smaller like the futures AM1’s or the FCS2 reactors,i only really ride fcs bc it has work the best for me but i have used futures AM1’s on a 7’2 funboard when i used to ride big boards and it pivoted really fast and also had enough hold to make big carves and hold in bigger waves

[@nateswells]

@@Dylan-eh2xj im definitely thinking about getting a midlength single fin.. I like the loose feel the board has or a fish

[@sean-kb4wr]

bruh i was thinking u were a huge creator love ur videos man

Nice and smooth. 😊

@@gsellona silky smooth! Thanks for watching 🤙🏽 yeww

[@TromboneAl]

Thanks. You might be able to make your paddle outs easier. Push nose down a bit and push yourself up. Wave goes between you and the wave. Also, are you waiting for lulls?

[@nateswells]

Appreciate the suggestions bruv 🤙🏼 thanks for watching!

[@zionperez6627]

so the turtle roll doesn't work in this type of waves? im new on longboarding

[@nateswells]

Turtle rolling does work..but sometimes you don’t need it

[@nateswells]

Thanks for watching bruddah 🤙🏼 yeww

[@seiftalaat1586]

I do the same but without the standing up part I just drown 😭

[@nateswells]

Lol when i first started learning.. I felt the pain that everyone does.. But keep pushing and you'll get there eventually! 🤙🏼 Yeww!

[@Aidan.17]

Keep it up 🤙 try to avoid bailing with your board in between you and the wave thats how you get smashed in the head by your fins. Ask me how i know 😂

[@nateswells]

Hahaha thanks for the advice. Yea that fin has fucked me up a couple times. Thanks for watching bruddah 🤙🏽

[@PROJECTIONPERFECTION]

what go pro do you use?

[@hectorfranciscochozagariba5607]

You are putting to much stress on that leash, my dude. Try to be more responsible of your board and stop it from going away of you, you could hit someone. A board that big is a big responsability in the water. And try to do turtle rolls or get behind your board and push it against and over the foam, it helped me a lot in medium size waves. Keep riding

[@nateswells]

I appreciate the tips, thanks for watching brudda🤙🏼

[@KRNinSANITY]

There's literally no one around him you dumbass lol

[@taylorstan3852]

You need a board with more nose rocker I reckon

[@nateswells]

I have a 7'6 should of brought it that day

[@jacksonwinters3871]

Booties ? And bruh wax to the nose and become a nose rider but 6/10

[@nateswells]

My board isn't nose-ride-able..i just nose dive. Whats a good reasonable board for noseriding?

[@TheDude68305]

All this struggling and heavy breathing makes me not want to take up surfing. Is it this difficult to get where you need to be, to catch waves of this size?

[@nateswells]

It definitely depends on the conditions out there typically the bigger the waves the harder you have to paddle! But it also depends on what type of surf break you’re at and the current! Yeww 🤙🏼 thanks for watching bruddah
