TRYING TO GET MY FIRST BARREL! (ON VIDEO)

Conditions were changing heaps but all in all it was pretty clean.

[@LeeSurfs]

He is the best dad!

[@gi4nn354]

[@LeeSurfs]

Thank you!

[@scottyknowsurf]

Epic! If you are making your barrels, you are not deep enough 😅

[@LeeSurfs]

hahaha yep

[@Sandls]

[@user-ff6hd7rh9k]

Your dad a OG😊

[@LeeSurfs]

You could say that haha

[@brennanconger834]

I fw you bro

[@LeeSurfs]

Thank you very much man :)

[@Sandls]

tips for duckdiving? I bought a high litre board and can't sink it under the water deep enough

[@LeeSurfs]

if it's too high it will basically be impossible unless you're heavy enough. If i were you i would practice going over waves when its smaller or doing turtle rolls when its a bit bigger!

[@MasonHunter-ke8tk]

Turn the board sideways so the rail can cut into water duck dive that way.

[@rcsurfingSA]

Only counts if your fully covered and come out... the “vision” don’t count as a barrel son sorry

[@LeeSurfs]

That's why i said "trying" still working towards one !

[@jw8556]

What board was that as in length and volume

[@LeeSurfs]

Hayden shapes - Hypto Krypto, 6'2 and about 40L i think... Not 100% certain and may be a slightly older model.

[@jw8556]

@@LeeSurfs so your not fond of 40L in 6'2 you must be fairly lite l have a sweet potato 2 6'4 and 57 L still working on that ride

[@LeeSurfs]

@@jw8556 im 70kg and i find a little less volume more enjoyable, i have been doing balancing sports all my life so it didn't really hold me back when i started surfing...

[@jw8556]

@@LeeSurfs ok your up to speed with the pop and launch lm still learning how to mix it all together there's a fair bit going on if it's a popular beach or break lm 76 kgs and about 5'7 l have 3 boards that consist of a 9'2 /8.0/ and the yet concor 6'6 potato so lv been watching your progression it seems your a natural and it's great to see you video's are spot on with no bullshit clips and commentary it's great to see that your not talking it up and keeping it honest

[@LeeSurfs]

@@jw8556 thanks so much it really means alot. just get out there and have fun, in the end thats all that really matters with surfing.

[@Sandls]

What beach?

[@LeeSurfs]

coalcliff. - p.s. i always put the beach name at bottom of video description if not secret

[@Sandls]

@@LeeSurfs you are so lucky you have hidden small beaches to surf at. I’m on the Gold Coast so basically any half decent spot like snapper, Kirra and Currumbin has like 100 people out

[@LeeSurfs]

@@Sandls yeah ahaha, sorry for you man... It is nice along the sydney/wollongong coast.
