How to Surf | 15 Tips and Exercises to Improve Your Surfing

[@stevemitchard4016]

As a complete beginner who has caught the surfing bug, this video and the first one, have just been so helpful in all aspects! Thanks for sharing your journey - Superb!

[@paulbrooke3838]

I'm an old(ish) dood coming back to surfing after a long time. As someone else commented - it's like starting over. Having the beginner perspective is so relate-able then with the instructor input, these have been the most helpful pair of tutorials I have watched. Time to find a coach.

[@funafter5081]

Cool to see lessons from a biginner point of view, thanks! Cheers, John ;)

[@paullesieur147]

This is glorious, been searching for "how to do an air on a surfboard" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Feyvid Surfers Semitist - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend got great success with it.

[@bibousisi5437]

This was great, been searching for "how to get into surfing" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Feyvid Surfers Semitist - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my m8 got cool success with it.

[@najibcasa2745]

This was great, I have been researching "surfing takeoff video" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Feyvid Surfers Semitist - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my co-worker got great success with it.

[@leftertiberiuvlad]

Winner of a video, been searching for "how can a surfer ride a wave" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Feyvid Surfers Semitist - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my brother in law got cool success with it.

[@rashidbinhendi653]

I love how he works so hard for all of his videos, and his personality is amazing

[@richard01690]

I have been surfing for years and really enjoyed your honest and fun approach to learning to surf. Well done. Where were you 28 years ago when I was figuring all this out.

[@StompItTutorials]

Haha I was a 1 year old hanging out in Northern Sweden.

[@jamesstrickland1216]

Richard Burke LOL

[@xchitagurlx]

Thank you so much, Im a complete beginner and you answered many concerns I had. Keep teaching...:)

[@magagui]

That intro was fantastic

[@avis6793]

One of the best surfing vids I've ever seen

[@jamesgibson7895]

Thanks so much for all of the in depth explanations and time you put in to this! Super helpful.

[@IAmSimplyBill]

I tried surfing (no instructor) when I was in Bali, few days ago.. Damn!! I really can’t stand and have balance.. I wish I had seen this before I hit the waves. HAHAHAHA

[@andrewthomas917]

Bali surf >>>

[@shivascares]

I just had my first lesson few days back! I am gonna try your tips on the next lesson.

[@danielgomessilva8966]

Thx a lot! Really.... I am living in Switzerland but i am actually from Peniche, Portugal. This Sommer, with 31 years old i finally surfed my first waves. Ppl told me i was very good for first time so i was thinking like you that i am naturally talented... I learned with this video that i was arrogant. Thanks for the teaching. Next time i will keep with the big one. Will never forget this lesson: you start with too short board you'll forever have bad style. Start with something big. Technik. Thx a lot

[@HeyLetsGoGetLost]

hey this was really good! I think as from beginner to beginner your tips are more insightful because you can approach the learning from the same perspective and know what type of questions a beginner might have :)

[@matt.sclarandis]

I also started surfing quite sometimes ago without an instructor and I still suck at it after more than 5 years 😂 I will follow your advice and get an instructor too next time I go :)

[@anoukvos5514]

Wauw perfect video, been surfing for 4 years and I guess it's good I finally know the facts haha, great!

[@anatolyokhremenko7893]

Thanks, man, for these two videos. It’s been five years but I feel that they’ll stay relevant for good :)

[@StompItTutorials]

Glad you like them!

[@busteddreamsmusic4942]

This video was amazing! The music that went with the video was also great. I’m a beginner and have no idea what I’m doing but this will help a ton! Thank you so much

[@mbbrrffy]

Thanks for sharing all this! I just came to Portugal to surf and after two weeks I can only agree with everything you said.

[@StompItTutorials]

Cool you recognised it all. It´s such a struggle to get started surfing.

[@gedport6771]

Cool dude, many thanks, nice vid. The approach your taken and train of thoughts provide valuable insight. They'res hope for me yet to get up on the right board. I bet your still surfing

[@gluigi2007]

Nice video! Thanks. I have been snowboarding for many years and I have to say that technique is very important.

[@felfel3623]

I loooooovvveeeeee Alejandro!!!!!

[@alessandrocordioli228]

A really good video!will you post a video with turning techniques??

[@benjaminroth4517]

Hahahaah first seconds, hilarious..

[@StompItTutorials]

Minutes later I got stung by a jelly fish and didn´t get a single wave on that sweet pointbreak.... Shit happens :P

[@damienbaumal734]

Top notch surf tutorial here! Such great tips, makes me want to train right away on my couch.

[@bryleesawyer4836]

That was very helpful for a beginner, thank you!

[@steel-r_ua]

I really enjoyed your videos, so calming and yet so informative 🙂

[@archivefootage7898]

Great stuff for those of us wanting to learn. Cheers.

[@RickyRicardo03]

Good video! I started like you on a board that wasnt thr right fit and i struggled for a long time. Its a habbit you have to be consistent at too, like going reguarly every month or less. Hope the shorty works out for you next trip!

[@martinfleinghaus8174]

I highly recommend the jumping pop up. It takes just a little more practise and offeres a safer stand on the board in my opinion. Good video, thumbs up!

[@jooymayeji]

thats good video! cheers bro! From Brazil!

[@SurfSmart]

Great content, thank you for taking the time to do this and show us what you learned this has helped me tons🤙🏽! Thank you

[@PedroCarvalhoLC43]

now that's start that sets the mood! well done!

[@freeriderJob]

Good info video again and I also can not wait for the snow coming to freeride😀🤙

[@cnsengineer]

Thanks! These videos are enjoyable and helpful. It's effective to have the perspective of someone who is a high level athlete and knows how to teach, but who is also a beginner at this particular sport.

[@StompItTutorials]

I really appreciated that :) I hope you learned some stuff you can apply on your own! /Jens

[@jean-fredericvodoz3768]

Great video ! I'm learning surfing and your tips will help me a lot. Thanks.

[@angelpena9425]

Awesome video! Learnt a few things! Can you tell the sizes of the boards you used from left to right? Also the short one you aim to use at your next trip :) Thanks!

[@ChrisFBartlett]

Super helpful. Thanks for doing these surf videos.

[@mmaes5961]

I really like these surf video's :) Pls make more next year

[@StompItTutorials]

Maybe some other sport project or just skiing :)

[@rodrigocuri2798]

Thank you man! This videos inspired me to keep learning and improving my technique.

[@AndreaTThomas]

THANK YOU!! I am a beginner, and this was just so helpful!! I can't get my pop up right, very frustrating!

[@moudry-QiGong]

Thank you! Tomorrow gonna try out your tips! Nice video!

[@joelstjohn3903]

[@StompItTutorials]

Thanks Ed! Yes I have been thinking about doing something like it all summer. But I ended up just editing a brand new Set Beginner Tutorials for the website all summer and still going. Thanks for pushing me to do it :P

[@arturosalvadormayor2961]

I loved these tutorials!!! Thank ypu so much!!

[@Opethfan79]

Very cool videos for people like myself who are very interested in trying surfing out. Crappy part is I live in the north east USA haha. But I travel to Taiwan quite frequently so I will learn more there I am sure. Plus the ocean is warm there and you don't need a wetsuit haha. Great videos man and great job catching all the tips for us.

[@MCSurfPhotography]

Great video thanks, off to check out your others. Great to get a few tips and suggestions

[@deluxeno20]

Really cool Tutorial, good Infos and no unessecary stuff.

[@vwgolfer8951]

Thanks for this. Just about to have a crack at surfing this summer (in Australia) with my daughter and it was really helpful.. Thank you also for leaving the blooper in. Hilarious. (As long as you were ok)

[@StompItTutorials]

I am glad it helped you guys! Yea man I am fine. It did hurt though and I got burnt by a jellyfish shortly after. Not my best day surfing.

[@pitiruspubis]

[@jemmabezuidenhout8752]

Thaank you from Colombia

[@pizzag1940]

Awesome! cheers!

[@daanhendriks2606]

Great vids thanks a lot!

[@dech7745]

Awesome - just in 1st of 3-step pop-up; hands under rib-cage, not shoulders, a few inches toward tail of board.

[@Juliancalder001]

So so so important, like an idiot i tried to learn to surf in big waves, (Hossegor and Mexican Pipeline), on a small board with no instruction. And long before KZbin was around. Took me far far longer to learn to surf than it should have. And my style is still average at best!

[@angelamills8212]

Awesome tutorial! I picked up some really good tops. I'm interested in the specs of the 5 boards you used, that yoi mentioned at the end. Thank You! :)

[@WoodyAnimations]

great vid man

[@felipesco9498]

Good video mate :)

[@Luieslopez]

I am from Nicaragua and I want to learn. I just got a surfboard

[@barbaravcnt]

Thanks!!!

[@NewDave94]

I just started surfing and i just surfed the whole (small) wave First try. I dont know why but for me its kinda easy i guess. I fell like two times in the whole day, Only Problem is that my paddling is often not fast enaugh!? Tomorrow i will try bigger waves.

[@SrecnaMladina2010]

First few seconds ON REPEAT!!! Made my day bro, hillarious! You are king of slapstick comedy - you ever thought of a professional career? :) Best, Ana 🤙🏻🏄🏻‍♀️

[@StompItTutorials]

Hahaha, I really just fell out of a boat. Difficult to make a career out of. I am glad you enjoyed it

[@franciscojoselopezhernande4752]

Hey man!, thanks for the video. I want to know how much time it takes you to surf on that level, i know it not the best level, but you did it amazing. Again, thanks for the video !:)

[@kaylaclay9292]

absolutely awesome - Really relatable !! Even though you are an armature this this makes it so much more professional. Soo good love it ! Kay

[@billarroo1]

Good video, I'm trying to learn all over again, biggest advance for me was the Leash, so u don't spend most of the day swimming for your board, I was a better swimmer than a surfer, Ha, ha.!

[@littlebear7523]

Winter coming soon :)

[@DeathCIutch]

What sizes are those boards?

[@RyeBrew]

Excellent. Thank you. I started on a 8" soft top high volume because I'm 190 pounds. And I love it, but I can't turn. How do I turn?

[@victorvoigt5752]

Nice

[@cnmorkramer1742]

Hi Jens, could you please do a tutorial on how to cork 360 on skis. I am trying to figure it out on my trampoline but I honestly don’t know how. I would love to be able to do the none carving ones.

[@StompItTutorials]

It is much easier with a carve. It is much harder on trampoline than off a jump. It is on my list of possible tutorials to make this winter but I am not sure yet. I will update our beginner pack with about 2hours of new tutorials and then we dig into carved 360s with a slight cork. Will be available mid November.

[@biagiovioli6394]

AWESOME VIDEOS!!!! really useful!!! can I ask the titles of the songs in the background?

[@StompItTutorials]

Thank you! :) I do not remember the names of them but most are available here: soundcloud.com/simonalexandermusik But not all songs.

[@honepeka6878]

What's the song at 1:12? Also, great video. Enjoyed part 1 too.

[@oktawiangornik1284]

Hi Jens, do you still remember the sizes of the boards? The blue one and the bigger ones. I´m trying and failing on 6´6 and considering to switch into 7,0ish
