The Ultimate Surf Skate Practice Routine For Surfing

[@Toemama]

That course made me open so many doors in my surfing! I recommend it to all the landlocked kooks like me that dream of one day being decent surfers! The content is amazing and the skills are explained in a way that is very transferrable from skate to surf. It's even more fun to surf now that I can generate speed and do some bottom turns!

[@AlexSwan]

Mate I bought a smoothstar two days ago, mucked around on it for an hour on day 1, then went for a surf the next morning and without even thinking about it all the movements totally translated into my surfing. It was wild. Thanks heaps. Will definitely buy your whole course. Cheers

[@edwardstroud8245]

Great stuff. Always done a lot of sport, but I started surfing about 4 years ago with my 7 year old son. Got hooked, and now on my surf skate whenever I get some free time. These exercises are perfect for me - thanks! 48 years young now. Most cave in to what society expects of them at a certain age. Their loss. Any time until the end of time!

[@gaelle5901]

I am originally a skater who's started surfing recently, and I could feel how quick I can pick up surfing technics just by being a skater. The two disciplines are definitely connected and this is exactly the video I was looking for since I don't live so close from the ocean !!! So thank you so much

[@alanguages]

Definitely. Any board sport will have transferable skills, which makes the next one easier to learn. You could even try snowboarding afterwards, and see how much faster you will learn that, since you have two other board sports under your belt.

[@gingineer1]

Bought straight away 1) to say thanks for the content you put out for free and 2) start surf skating better. Course is great so far, super value! Thanks man.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Oh thank you so much!!

[@ellisonjesuhsd]

Great course. Appreciate the insight and coaching style. Easy to use and possible to skip ahead or back to suit your skill level. So worth it.

[@ren-vl6wq]

Man, fine work, you deserve to be watched. This is golden THANK YOU

[@mohammadlevy9668]

The section Kale has on being able to pump up hill is critical. Shit, I'm 65 and can still do it. He doesn't say it directly, but he is essentially using skating to teach functionally connecting turns when surfing. When you get it dialed you should be able to drive off the bottom AND top if so desired frontside or back. Overall, this guy seems to be a pretty good coach. 👍👍

[@jimmcmaster6227]

Great video. I watched others before you and they were saying the start of the pump needs to be on the toe side and not to swing your upper body. Neither point made sense to me. Then I see your video and you are preaching exactly what I was thinking….. you can pump from either side and the upper body starts it all!

[@jacksonreed..]

I have a road near my house, and there is a sort of long crack in the road, and I use it as a pretend close out section, and another one that is bigger and I use it as a lip. So helpful!

[@adamhutchison7500]

SOLD there really is no other comprehensive surfskate guide out there right now!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thanks Adam!!

[@fattigmanskultur]

[@jprmoore]

That is an absolute bargain! Bought and paid for. Looking forward to trying out the course.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you so much for your support 🙌🏽 the goal is for it to be affordable for everybody

[@jprmoore]

Kale Brock great ethos.

[@Connor-kv5cm]

Really enjoying your surf skate vids kale. Personally would enjoy a few more loops/ replays of each technique to really internalise the details

[@ericordaz1838]

This is so clear to understand and well laid out (edited). Thank you!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bcarrozza7144]

Kale, thank you so much for the excellent content. I was so stoked about this program, I just purchased even though my ankle is broken right now. Watched through already twice, and I can't wait to get started. Thanks again!!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Oh so awesome! Thank youuu!!!

[@TheLove2surf]

ok so i went out into our little street (private neighborhood still in complete lockdown, so cant go anywhere) and dont have cones and too frequent traffic to throw my shoes in out there... only applied the principles of speed generation... just half an hour but fully focussed. Legs burning.. feel like I have advanced something!!! Thanks so much, this was awesome!! Will get on to buying the course tonight!!!

[@KalesBroccoli]

[@darrenrodgers6425]

Haha..I've watched you for so many years now, just seeing your hello just makes my day. it took a while, but I finally got my sufrskate today, and stoked you get going... not so much surf in the med, makes me miss home.. Thanks for the videos bro!

[@KalesBroccoli]

🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@deremann9577]

Terrific explanations! Other videos left me a little bit clueless not clearly structuring the 4 techniques - u totally nailed it. Thanks for clarification 👍

[@SunriseSessions]

After asking for this tutorial in the comment section for months 😳.. I went straight to the website to buy the program! Thnx heaps!!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Haha you’re the best thank you for your patience!!

[@KalesBroccoli]

😍👍🏽

[@paulcombes3782]

No prob Kale , anytime .

[@iluminousvj]

Mini ramps are also quite useful for skate-surf training

[@Connor-kv5cm]

great bottom turn exercise

[@sebsurfdio]

Thanks for this great surf training ! I will watch your program !

[@sammyprescott9010]

After watching one of your vids from a year or 2 ago, we got our 3 groms a smoothstar (8, 7, & 5 yrs old) to improve their surfing. It was delivered about 2 weeks ago and they’ve been practicing on it ever since. My 7 year old son was quick to get the technique down and it’s amazing how quickly it translated to his surfing. He is now pushing off from rail to rail and compressing and generating speed down the line which he was never able to figure out. Pretty amazing. Im still working with my girls on their compression & board skills but my oldest is beginning to compress her lower body and generate some noticeable speed along the wave face. Been trying to find some more instructional surfskate videos so they can keep improving their technique but haven’t found really any good ones. So, stoked to find that you put a course together. 29$ is a real good deal. I went to purchase the course just now but my CC was declined. I’m guessing fraud protection. (We’re in Hawaii. Same thing happened when we tried to purchase the Smoothstar from Australia. Declined.) Anyway, I’ll call the bank tomorrow and get it fixed and make the purchase. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the always excellent instructional videos. Theyve been a big part of our kiddos progression. They’re already ripping at a pretty young age. We try to surf every day as a family. But super stoked about SurfSkating-it seems to be a major trick to developing board skillz on land. Huge! Thanks again! 🤙

[@KalesBroccoli]

That is so cool!! Thanks so much for the comment. Tell the kids I said hello and to keep shredding 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@ignooooo128]

Getting a skateboard tomorrow, really appreciated dude! Can’t wait to try it

[@vitellaromartin279]

Awesome exercices, exactly what we needed to improve our surfing practice with my bro!! Tx Kale from France, Bretagne.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Merci mec!

[@alejandragd3363]

I just have one question. WHY DON'T YOU HAVE MORE LIKES?! I loved it thank you

[@KalesBroccoli]

Haha thanks

[@fsilveira01]

Amazing stuff as usual, mate. Love the netball courts in Curly, great spot to practice. Loved the video, very helpful..... 🤙🏼

[@chrisbei8773]

Thank you for all your help It is quite good Experience To learn from an expert. I am 49 and have always wanted to surf So I purchased a surf skate And I'm gonna sign up for your classes when I get a couple dollars. I am homeless at the moment but things are looking up I've been sober for 11 month and I'm trying to find a job but surfing is on my mind 247 and can't wait to get a wet suit and surfboard Just wanna say thank you I hope you read this

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thanks Chris!!! I hope it all works out for you!

[@violetli]

Take it slower on critical turns with surf skates, (especially backside turns) concrete isn't as forgiving as the ocean. Source: broken wrist and elbow.

[@jean-baptiste6479]

Right. No shoes 👟 that's courageous 👏

[@charoperezgiusti4173]

Damn, just bought mine as surf season is over. Thanks for the heads up

[@gregsmith5875]

Thanks for the heads up!! ... Question is, even with guards/pads? 'Cuz if so, I'm going to need something large, fully encased and ... bubble like?! Hope you've recovered and back at it!

[@tigoxbrata]

Bro ... you are what the beginner surf community needed, for real

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you!

[@Cuisinenomade1]

The accurate word is "mechanical" although physiology is also involved the analysis made is from "mechanical stand point" not a "physiological" perspective. Just a thought. Thanks for all the good videos shared!

[@vincentgobet6920]

thank you for this lesson and all your other videos!

[@Labuenavidasurf]

Learning the compress and extend at the moment.

Super detailed and smart advice and you're awesome to listen to! Thanks for the great content! Just recently got into surfskating and I love it! Keep it up ✌️

[@aleksandrpokusaev9175]

Kale what mid length surfboards you can suggest for summer but still offering a bit performance? Thank you❤

[@titi15rock]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!! You are an amazing coach!

[@ThinLineMedia]

Nice vid! I am able to go up very steep hills on my surfskate here in Stockholm, but this will not translate into actual surfing, because we don't have any waves here... haha ... Have a nice day!

[@sicaferal]

great vid again Kale ty!! big cheers from Brazil!

[@Brian-sz7lo]

This is gold. Thank you sir! Learning a lot from you

[@thesurfskater]

Awesome video. Would you recommend specifically SmoothStar compared to other surf skates? )

[@Idonthavenocow]

You are the BEST Kale 😊😊 Thank you so much!

[@guytibichoux3141]

I get this surfskate, thank's for advice. It's goog.

[@pavedwavessurfskate2203]

The best tutorial out there! 🤙 Thank you!

[@Mazza2809]

Curly, Palmy and Whaly? :) Good spots? So cool to see our local areas on your videos. Cheers Kale!

[@ridealong5390]

Awesome!!!! stay stoked!

[@conceptuallysplashin]

What is the difference between these boards and say your typical arbor pocket rocket cruiser or quality penny board with loose trucks, I mean if your working on turning seems like the effect would be the same. The shape of the board is different (more so with penny obviously) but other than that.....

[@karllindberg4830]

What are your thoughts about using a rip stick where the board flexes compared to a skateboard?

[@bilgyno1]

Damnit... Making me realise I have to practice so much more... Now I'm going to have to get a skateboard as well... Thanks man... But all joking aside: yours is one of my favorite channels!

[@HoStevie]

*Yes coach* 🙌

[@rhyleeduell9029]

Hey Kale Remember me, Rhylee And Tyler Duell We met At Cape Woolamai I watched this vid an air'd the next day

[@KalesBroccoli]

Of course mate! That’s great!

[@Charlie-bh8kg]

Kale! you went to the northern beaches netball courts. Its so sick to see you there thats where I skate

[@leeh5307]

Thanks. Really helpful. Subscribed.

[@MS-ut8fd]

Snowboarder here trying to learn surfskating. As opposed to surfskating, in snowboarding you must maintain your shoulders over your board "parallel" to keep your balance and not wipe out.

[@jamesdarkin843]

Legend. Thanks for this mate

[@McFedro]

Definitely will buy it... this sound excellent.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you! I can’t wait for you to check it out brother 🤙🏽

[@timosborne8174]

Really enjoyed that. Going to try it 👍

[@finn.lightbody9912]

Thanks for the tips I’ll be sure to buy a smoothstar soon

I'm thinking to buy the smoothstar holy toledo. What do you guys think?

[@ih8011]

What is a good sized carving board for beginners to practice surfing

[@joaodanunciacaonunes7539]

Great videos, great job!! One question, I have regular stance in surfing but in skateboarding I have goofy stance. For a better surf workout should I force a regular stance in skateboarding. I’m meaning a surf skateboard like Smoothstar. I appreciate your opinion. Cheers!

[@rvspain]

Very nice video. Help a lot. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@KalesBroccoli]

🙌🏽🤙🏽

[@friederwittmann7104]

Thanks so much for the great content! I just bought my first Smoothstar as well as your course and went through the basic lessons. There is one thing that really confuses me. From my limited experience, it appears to me that simply 'wiggling' the back of the board (rotation of the hips and pushing sideways with the back foot) allows for much faster and efficient propulsion on the Smoothstar than when adding the pumping (squatting) movement. However, I have a suspicion that this movement would not transfer well to surfing. Its a bit hard to tell from your videos, because there are often slow-motion (by how much did you slow it down?) but it also seems to me that you are more 'wiggling' more and pumping less once you have to work really hard your way up the hill at 4:26 The sequence right after shows you again with more pumping / squatting but seemingly _less_ propulsion. Is this strong pumping just something that should be done to transfer better to surfing or does it also help the skating with the Smoothstar itself? Any pointers from Kale Brock or others highly appreciated!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Tightening the pumping just reduces the time between each pump. Going up hill you can expect to rely less on momentum and need to fit in more pumps to move.

[@friederwittmann7104]

@@KalesBroccoli Thanks for the fast reply Kale! So, at lower speeds, one uses a higher turn frequency with smaller pumps? So perhaps, that means I need less or almost no pumps because I'm still very slow? For your slow motions, do you use a fixed speed reduction, and if so, what is the factor? I think this could really help in getting a feel for the different riding speeds.

[@adammcguinness3166]

Primo Content maaate! Another fan from the NZ! Been getting waves of late?

[@antoinerocchi4271]

Great! Thanks

[@andyhcape]

This makes so much sense as a way to improve surfing skills - but what if you skate the other way around to the way you surf.......eg surf - regular and skate goofy....yep - that's me - and switching in either sports feels just mad sketchy, I'm so unsteady and unsure on my feet if I skate Regular or Surf Goofy.....what then? Surely the train wouldn't apply? Or do you think the pumping and leaning into big turns is translated between sports even if done facing a different way?

[@WorkForAvocados]

Great tutorial!! Definitely going to try some of these on flat ground. Would love to see your take on skatepark session training in a future episode

[@sharki11]

Riding transition at a skate park is way better training than spending money on a surf skate to do kooky turns on flat

[@MrGreen-kq4ds]

this is gold, thank u!

[@maxxawesome7412]

I don’t have a surf skate board. What do you think of using a Onewheel or Rip Surf board? Helpful or not?

[@chriswhittorn]

Leading hand seems to come across the body more than i would think it should. Is this just the smooth star as we were always coached about the leading arm position not crossing the body.

[@Guscagcmnmrrn9]

so good this video,ill try my best to enter this program if in youtube is this way imagine be in the program

[@yoiyomismo]

Great content, I'm going to ask the course as my next gift 😁

[@scottshipsides392]

Yo Kale! Got any skate park bits in the ultimate surf skate training program? I found once I got better, the skate park really helps improve my skills...

[@KalesBroccoli]

No generally I find people just get too slidey and forget about the fundamentals

[@danlehavi9229]

Hey Kale. Huge fan. Tomorrow I'm gonna go surfing in Malibu and the swell is supposed to be slightly bigger than I am comfortable with, i am surfing with two friends and a coach and will be riding an 8 ft storm blade. i am a beginner/intermediate who has been surfing for about 2 months, once a week. Do you have any advice for how to get over my fear of a wiping out in bigger waves and b going under bigger waves. Thanks!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Yes there’s a video on my channel for big waves.

[@threeworlds]

Epic. Thanks!
