You'll never get barrelled until you understand this | IN-DEPTH SURF LESSON

[@andrewbarta9375]

Here’s my take for a sixty year old who never got tubed much. The waves that barrel good usually require a strong paddle. If your tired or out of shape not having speed to get in doesn’t give you time to set up. Experience is needed to tell which waves will barrel unless it’s just one of those good days. I grew up surfing Oceanside and Huntington Beach . A lot of almost hollow waves mixed with good waves. My friend who gets barreled all the time and now lives in kuaii said it best . You have to start searching them out and get to a point where that’s all you’re looking for as you paddle in. Then if you notice the wave isn’t going to barrel you shift to turns . Second was to learn how to fall or push out of the wave without getting hit by your board. Funny , the best place to fall is where you’re more nervous to be , and a confident stance makes you safer. You have to believe you belong in there

[@AlfonsoYbarraAguado]

Real y, good advice, especially the last bit, Its so true that when you mantain yourself on the board and try to resist you get hit by the board much less often than when you fall inmedietly

[@finalben7]

Great to see more behind the scenes of your coaching process. Makes me hope I'll get to experience it for myself someday.

[@KalesBroccoli]

🙏🏽 🤞🏽

[@RoyceJakob]

Haha, well played Kale…

[@davoocass]

what helped me out as a grom was surfing hollow close outs on an old board i didn't care about, kinda forced me to knife in, and took away some of the fear of being in too deep, the exits just came naturally after that with better wave conditions

[@KalesBroccoli]

👏🏽👏🏽

[@MrRobinski]

yes i remember doing that at Mooloolaba, a hollow close out beachy, just got to practice not hitting the board under water as that hurts.

[@hugomvisual]

One of the best videos I've seen so far here ! Great images, great advices, inspiring content, motivating content ! You such a legend mate !

[@KalesBroccoli]

Love that thank you mate :)

[@zacharyflagler4578]

I immediately want to do a trip like this with you! Seeing the progress he made gives me a lot of hope, especially at a time where I feel like I'm having trouble progressing

[@KalesBroccoli]

🤙🏽🤙🏽🙏🏽

[@Ezkereskubieman]

Your level of teachering is going Up as your surfing stile!! Thank you for your content. I feel I'm going Up too😊

[@sunsensational]

My advice is to pull into as many big closeouts as you can. Especially backside. you’ll get an immediate taste and even a few pumps inside. Eventually with better conditions and little luck you’ll come out.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Can be double edged sword. Injuries

[@adamoosthuizen2409]

Hopefully not on big reefs 😬

[@jimihendrixx11]

😅

[@13soulz]

Yeah I used to pull into big close outs and dive into the foam ball until one day the board shot back and almost cut my ear completely off Also diving into the wall on a close out can also mean getting sucked over the falls 😂 Ole man from Hawaii🤙🏾

[@777lifeisgood]

Yeeew! Nice vid kale. Been a subscriber for a while now and never get tired of your content. Thanks for doing what you do

[@KalesBroccoli]

Awesome! Thank you so much 🙏🏽😋

[@mikewhit]

we had a really nice shoulder/head height day with an easy left barrel. i saw a guy keep catching them and i got the courage to step up. you could feel it as soon as you were on the wave, the opportunity for barrel, a very slow peeler day with enough ease to climb up to the lip without it going fast enough to be unpredictable. i just grabbed the rail, stepped on the tail more and went to the lip and got low. i wound up eating it. it's a bit more force when the lip hits you or you feel that force working on you. took another on a beach break on a wave that was a bit bigger and faster beach break wave. same experience except fast and being on the steep part hoping to catch a barrel before bailing. i'll get there!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thanks for sharing! I hope we can help you get one soon!

[@vincentkr3w]

Great combination of technical and psychological aspects used to convey the whole experience. Gets me pretty fired up to book a trip anywhere but even more so with you! Also proves the less you focus on selling something the more genuine interest you will attract...☀

[@KalesBroccoli]

Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️🙏🏽 you’re welcome any time!

[@DadKooks]

Always love watching your videos Kale

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thanks for watching! 🙏🏽

[@Olivier_G_]

Ben strikes me as en excellent embassador for surfing! Thanks for the video Kale!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Ben’s a legend, and I’m stoked to have him on the roadmap ! 🙏🏽

[@JacobBass-t5d]

Aweome video, great coaching! Thanks heaps

[@KalesBroccoli]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@h.peterzimmer883]

Incredible work, Kale. This was a great video. Great vibes. Really inspirational. Thank you.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@13soulz]

Cool lessons 😊 I started out too many years ago and have seen so many technique changes😂 I learned to tube time on the Big island of Hawaii..,my lesson was pull in from the top not the bottom , enter Behind the peak not AT the peak when possible, match the speed of the wave and always relax, get above the foam ball if can and keep the tip pointed to the exit😂.. a long time ago on Oahu Dane Keakaha used a technique called a backside layback where you stall in the tube by dragging you back hand in the face… be careful if going too fast that technique can dislocate you shoulder lol… grabbing rail is easier.. great video brah 🤙🏾

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you! Love those stories 👊🏽

[@Surf03]

Nice to see you again. Hope you are healthy and well.

[@KalesBroccoli]

❤️🙏🏽

[@SmithSmithson1]

This is a great, inspiring vid. Thanks kale!

[@KalesBroccoli]

My pleasure! Which part resonated most?

[@pedromaziluprata6712]

this winter most of the tubes i got just close so fast ..but i stil get into them just for that split second click of seeing the end of the barrel and being inside . it's a great feeling just before the washing machine.

[@MH_347]

One thing I’ve always done is to sink my hand in the face from the takeoff. It works to slow me down and stabilise myself. Was epic to watch the process. You are dead right when you mentioned about once it clicks.

[@KalesBroccoli]

👌🏽🤙🏽

[@NomadicH20]

What a sick journey for Ben, this video was super helpful

[@KalesBroccoli]

👊🏽

[@andrerecucci]

Hey Kale I am a huge fan and I make videos for youtube myself and I just loved everything in this video, the place, the history, the camera angles literally all of it ! You inspire me so much one day I want to make great videos like yours, keep your great work man !

Ah thank you!! ❤️ mate good luck with it all 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Nice job Ben!!! Kale is the man, such a good coach!

[@KalesBroccoli]

🙏🏽🙏🏽 thanks Dev!!!!

[@snxsive23]

This has opened my eyes so much to wave knowledge getting barreled i can do but getting barreled constantly is my worse thing... I always seem to be to much on the shoulder or to deep or and late to the wave.. cheers for these videos

[@KalesBroccoli]

So glad you got something from it ☺️

[@richardharvey6461]

Thanks for this Kale (and Ben!). Should be seeing you in Nicaragua next year, definitely looking forward to having your guidance especially after watching this one… barrels have eluded me for waaaay too long!!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Love this Richard ! I look forward to working with you 🙏🏽

[@30yearoldgrom]

Awesome video!!! What an experience. I'm still a long way off getting my first barrel. Stoked for Ben!!! 🌺🤙

[@KalesBroccoli]

But you’re on the path!!

[@30yearoldgrom]

@KalesBroccoli 100%, and we all know the best part is the journey 🤙🌺

Such a good clip, Kale 🙏

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thank you! ☺️

[@caioaragaobr]

Very good content for those who are intermediate in surfing. Congratulations Kale!! Come to Brazil! Fernando de Noronha!

[@KalesBroccoli]

🙏🏽

[@Pr0que]

I’m literally at the same spot of learning as this guy, we even have been surfing pretty much for the same period of time (5 years). What helps me quite a bit is to practice on some point breaks during small swells, where you aren’t scared of getting smashed by the big lip. As my mate, who’s been surfing for 20+ years, says “just don’t pussy out it’s all about the fear” 😅

[@KalesBroccoli]

Love that! Haha and your mate is spot on with the colourful advice 👌🏽

[@0W3NC]

This was hard to watch, as someone guilty of all the same mistakes as Ben! Great education content, thanks Kale!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Glad it was helpful! We all make mistakes sometimes - it’s part of surfing

[@nagodio]

My next long weekend in going to the beach to take surf lessons. Cant wait I grew up in a beach town in Florida where all my friends surf but i was the poor brown indian kid who was shy… now im 40 and saw The Olympics and want to learn! I remember everything about surfing back in the 90s my friends rocking roxy, quiksilver. Kelly slader i wanted all of that 😢 i dont live in that beach town anymore or in the US , so i searched surfing lessons here and found a few good ones with okay reviews….

[@pnwpovsurfer_]

Getting barreled is the best great vid!

[@KalesBroccoli]

Thanks !!

[@jeffg4686]

@9:24 - that was my first barrel - complete chance and accident actually. it was hard offshores and I was bottom turning getting ready to hit the lip. Towards the end of my bottom turn, I saw the lip pitching. I was just trying to straighten back out (turn to the beach ) to get away from the lip. Next thing you know I was cruisin' through the green room and came out.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Yew!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@jeffg4686]

@@KalesBroccoli - it was more like "Wooooooooooo Woooooooooo" - first good barrel. I was lit up after that.

[@joelc8423]

Mate I watched this a few days ago and went out and got 2 beachy barrels applying the technique. So good! Gonna do tsr

[@KalesBroccoli]

Love that!!

[@shannonkelsall8053]

I did the same thing today got 2 barrels and even have the memory bank in my head of getting up and seeing a small backdoor section going over my head while lining up for the wave

[@DGold109]

I just got out of the water surfing in Hawaii at Piddlies, realized the guy in the video is someone I've surfed with countless times there and was out with him today. Never watched one of your videos and it was recommended to me and I put it on. How weird is that!?

Small surfing world !

@KalesBroccoli I will try and muster the courage when going to Morcco in a couple of weeks. I usually ride a tomo revo 511 38 ltrs over here un the UK .. any tips for over there? Hoping for some lovely clean banana point and devils rocks

Amazing insight! 🔥

Can I go to choob camp? So stoked to see Ben get some barrels!

[@KalesBroccoli]

😍 yes please !! 🇳🇮 2025!

[@yzerfonteinsurfshop]

Questions but first very nice video and good coaching. You mentioned Ben going out on bigger board what size was it compare to his first board and then for bonus what's your opinion about quad setup for tubes.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Can’t remember the details on that one sorry. Quads not so much - can’t slow down

[@KalesBroccoli]

🙏🏽🙏🏽🤙🏽

[@SeanMURPHY-l3w]

Good coaching and good TV production. Would have loved to see you successfully getting barreled, same waves, same time as your student. This might help show where and why they’re missing.

Can’t win em all when I’m directing / shooting / coaching 😅 thanks !!

Sorry to but in but what helped me level up many years ago was traveling to waves where you're getting barreled weather you want to or not. No surf coach nedded.

What about mid beginner to intermediate? How fast?

[@KalesBroccoli]

Depends on situation. Waves, feedback (quality), board, disposition

How much do they pay for one trip?

[@KalesBroccoli]

Hey! All our retreat info is here kalebrock.com.au/surf

Big guy, little barrels, and shallow end section makes it hard not to get clipped by the lip.

Can't tell you how FAST someone can learn but I can tell you I'm on year 9 and I still need help 🤣💀

I think I’m in the same boat. Surfing decades and still can’t do much at all.

More wipeout more tube 😂

[@LUCKYMONKEY230]

I'm not gonna lie, these titles are promoting kookness really bad. It takes years to get barrel, and kooks will think they can do it fast, being dangerous on the line-up.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Not one bit. Context shown - Ben’s been surfing for 5 years. You’re just a neg

[@relaxingsounds5469]

Learn to bodysurfing and start getting close out barrels now… don’t think that sounds cool enough? Then you’re probably riding surfboards (and waves) for the wrong reason (ego). Don’t think that sounds challenging enough? Making a legitimate in and out barrel while bodysurfing is next level wave riding ability.

[@janukov1c824]

God that guy is fcking gorgeous

[@Dacat64]

before getting barreled, learn how to do a proper carve or turn. learn how to surf first.. This guys is really cool, but doesn't know how to do a proper cut back. As a coach this is my advice.

[@onshore1ft]

All that for a little shampoo. Good coaching though.

[@KalesBroccoli]

Show us how it’s done

[@grantdavis2887]

Easy with perfect waves and a bank roll. 😂😂

[@KalesBroccoli]

Sheesh who do you think is bank rolling
