Re-entry Vs Cutback - which section for which turn?

In this surfing lesson I go through some optimal techniques, both on the forehand and backhand, for how to do re-entries in the surf. Re-entries are section-dependent, and they are a hallmark of a surfer who has the potential to progress to an advanced level.
If you want to learn how to surf at an intermediate, or even at advanced level, this video is for you.
This is a sample video lecture from my brand new online course, The Intermediate Surfer's Roadmap, which is available now at thesurfersroadmap.com/

love the video i love the new roadmap, I believe this is what I have been needing in my progression

[@jourdainduval494]

Just a tip: flip the footage for the goofy footers, especially the pov angle as it makes it easier to visualise

[@albinochewie543]

You and OMBE think about surfing in such a unique way and I enjoy seeing how you turn your thoughts and discoveries into guides and lessons. I’ve found that a lot of surfers, especially pros just “do” it without being able to describe it well. Well done Kale

[@krispewkrem3]

Mighty of you to assume I surf waves with a steep lip. All jokes aside, I have been absolutely abusing the lip with my longboard lately after watching more of your videos. I used to see a steep section and go back to the crumbly part. Now I see a steep sections and get ready to accelerate and have fun with it. I’ve only surfed for two years, but I’d say I’ve progressed well thanks to your channel! I’m very confident on a longboard, I’m competent on a midlength, I absolutely can’t stop foiling, and I’m slowly learning to progress with a shortboard. All thanks to the POV, shore shots, and surf skate tutorials. So talented yet humble and always awesome flow. The power and flow and elegance to your surfing along with humility is strikingly similar to John John Florence.

[@vantvu]

Love the detailed analysis!

[@hommuside]

Great tut Kale. For me the forehand epiphany came when getting the back arm swinging back towards the beach at the top of the turn. Never fails.

[@surfershaper]

Great presentation. The side X side is perfect. Keep it up!

[@deanzouroudis9034]

Thanks for everything Kale, I've been watching your tutorials for a long time. Can you explain the foot positioning and weight over the board? When you talk about kicking out the back foot.. 1. Does that get the fins free? 2. Do you actually have to drive and push through the back foot once you get to the lip? Thanks Legend

[@jeanbh96]

Great!!!

[@KopralTuuf]

Nice , I wish my English is well so i can explain more about surf in bali 🤙🏾

[@paquito2a]

Great video ! Nicely explained, I am have problems getting my turns to get cleaner and more efficient( iam regular ) it seems that I can not keep my left hand to stay above my outside rail and ruins my turns somehow Trying my best to think about it and stick my hand into the water after my too turns To get a complet turn. Sorry English isn’t my first language and it’s kind of difficult to explain 😁 Thanks for the tips anyway and keep doing these videos it’s great

[@rahawk69]

I’m currently working on performing larger more committed turns, but the waves don’t always play ball. Trying to surf closer to the pocket/power zone.

[@lucasfranceschini7952]

Kale, would make a videos about landing our first airs?

[@12ffoeg]

great video Kale. You mentioned you can't do a re-entry on the flatter section which makes sense. But can you do a cut back/top turn on the steeper section or does the steepness/lip prevent you from doing a normal cut back?

[@KalesBroccoli]

To an extent yes but doesn’t offer enough time to go through rotation

[@arsenmagomedov9982]

What's the difference between reentry and a snap? Are those just different names for the same thing?

[@Ryan-es5fj]

Hey Kale! Just wonder what gopro mount would be best for pov. I have mounts on my board, a mouth mount and a wrist mount

[@KalesBroccoli]

Mouth 🤙🏽

[@JulienRealtor]

Hey Brock!! How are you? I've been wondering what is the mind set and appropriate chain of thoughts and action to take when you get crushed by a wave. Cheers ✌️

[@bh2861]

Good thanks Julien! Most often the mindset for getting crushed by wave that one must have is the mindset to eat that ass my man!

[@JulienRealtor]

@@bh2861 I'm good then

[@27000162]

My biggest problem is when I pop up, my front foot lands to the left side of the board and my foot is straight and not diagonal…. Do I consciously rotate my body or do just bring my fron leg to the center of the board, thanks

[@KalesBroccoli]

Yes check out a few of my pop up videos

[@maxdavies3147]

Oi kale on Saturday I think I saw you in the line up at Newport reef it looked like you, I was the grom in the red wetsuit

[@KalesBroccoli]

Nah grom not in Sydney at the moment!

[@Laylaequine_]

hey! just wondering if 27L is a really light board for someone who's 40kg and will it make it impossible to paddle and catch waves. Thanks!

[@justaswan4391]

If your a brand new beginner you should aim for your 1:1 kilo to literage but 27 litres is absolutely fine if your even a little bit better then brand new and after you've been on it several times it will be fine!

[@Laylaequine_]

@@justaswan4391 awesome, thanks!!

[@GutoFontana]

top turn well done is actually harder...you gotta have style.

[@pierswoo76]

I agree 100%! the reentry is far easier to do due to the lip doing a lot of the work for you, a powerful stylish top turn with spray is really hard to do well as its all in your technique

[@mindfree7919]

👌💪🏾

[@D00D00Daniel]

is a re-entry essentially a snap?

Same

[@lookatmoy1636]

Hi Chard Cauli, firstly, I think your work is the squirts. So much so that im actually using youtube (I strictly use newpipe to avoid Californians curating my thought processes) to arks you a pacific question. I feel like the word 'question' is a bit un-Australian. Kwezza. Thats better. I noy'd to arx you a pacific kwezzo... its a bit embarrassing. How does one effectively pull out of a ride when they realise they have snaked someone else? I would like to think im good at never being in that situation to begin with, but yesterday I heard that dreaded 'oy' behind me and in attempting to bail off fairly fast peeling wave just muffed it and no doubt obstucted her ride. I feel like this is maybe the third time I have ever done this, and am beginning to think it may be better to wait and ride it out to the shoulder. It 'seems' ruder to stay on the wave, but if your only going to get pitched infront of them anyhow, maybe its better to keep surfing? My thoughts are rather than attempt to flick over the lip (which I failed to do effectively) maybe lean back and bog down on my backfoot then they could go under and continue? I suppose its like an etiquette issue in finer detail.
