Pita Wrap: Surfing Is A Sport
Просмотров 11914 дней назад
In this Pita Wrap I give my take on why I consider surfing a sport. I roughly outline the great "surfing vs art" debate in surfing culture, and explain why there are more postiive takeaways from considering a sport. I also explain the motivations people have for desiring that it be an "art." But in my view, sport and art have more in common than many might assume. Both are, at bottom, about pla...
What Surfing Really Looks Like: Epic Shorebreak Session!
Просмотров 31421 день назад
Another episode of What Surfing Really Looks Like for you to feast your surf nerd brains on! This was filmed in NY on October 18, 2024 by Mitch Blummer. It wasn't a hurricane swell, just a standard low pressure that came up off of the Carolinas and delivered some quality low interval surf to our area (buoys were 6-8ft @ 9-10 seconds). I have been keeping my eyes on this stretch of beach for the...
Surf Tip: How To Get Tubed Backside
Просмотров 405Месяц назад
In this video I go over the basics of how to get tubed backside. The first key, as with all of surfing, is to be able to see what is going to happen before it's going to happen and to prepare for it accordingly. The second key, as with frontside tube riding, is to make sure that you're taking a central line through the tube. It's a goldilocks zone not too high and not too low and it can be hard...
My Personal Wax Preferences and Some Wax Tips
Просмотров 106Месяц назад
In this video I go over my favorite kinds of wax. I also explain what kind of wax you want for what kind of water. I am not sponsored by any one particular brand and this post is in no way paid. I've just been surfing my whole life in a wide range of water temps, and for me Sticky Bumps hits the right chord in hot, warm, cool, and downright freezing water. I mention that I have a nostalgic conn...
Surf Tip: How To Get Tubed Frontside
Просмотров 691Месяц назад
In this video I go over some of the basics of frontside tuberiding. One thing that I don't think I cover enough is how to pick a wave that you know is going to tube. This part is key, but I'll have to make another video to go over it. So let's just start from the idea that you might get tubed because tubes are on offer. The three main keys for basic frontside tuberiding are: 1. Keep eyes up and...
Pita Wrap: How to Make Seitan
Просмотров 109Месяц назад
As promised in other videos, here's the "how to make seitan" video. Seitan is what you get when you "wash" wheat flour. There are two main methods for making it. In this video I show you the method that uses Vital Wheat Gluten. This is wheat flour that has already been washed free of the carbohydrates, dried, then milled again. It's a fairly easy process that involves making a dough and boiling...
SURF TIP: NO COBRA
Просмотров 8892 месяца назад
As we were going through her videos in CR, I noted to Yimin, “When I say push up, I don’t mean ‘do a cobra.’ It’s not a cobra!” Then I showed her the correct form and saw a lightbulb flash in her head. She exclaimed, “I’ve been doing a cobra the whole time!!!” And I’m sure she’s not the only one, so I got fired up to make a little video about it. That’s what you have above, including Yimin’s be...

What Surfing Really Looks Like (W.S.R.L.L.) is back! I'm no longer using the solo shot (pain in the ass and let me know if you want a video about why), so I'm trying to shoot longer takes on average surf sessions. In this video I go over a frustrating session in closeous in SW Costa Rica. The edit is 20 minutes long. I probably surfed for 45 minutes. We did leave and go to a point break and it ...

Different Fin Systems For Surfboards, An Introduction
note the pool water will have less resistance because it is not salt water
He's 1000 percent right. Until i changed to my elbow position my popup/pushup suffered. I'm short with long arms, which made my old elbow position worst. Thanks
Thank you so much for this.
I never realised there was a sport v art debate I always considered it both..I think anything can be considerd art, or a sport..depends how you define both sport and art..XD
Another alternative to a paperclip is a few strands of dental floss or some other thin string or cord that can be fed through easier to guide the leash rope through
Such a good video! I’m eager to put this into practice. Very thorough homie, good tips to practice out the back. Thanks dude
Anyone else here after cracking there head from ditching their board
I love Sticky Bumps! But I love me some cool & cold temp wax for my tropical surf :) animo & aloha!
So the cue should be…. Do a push up? 😂 seems very… not confusing.
Good one!
knee push up is a thing
Nice video review thanks. Just a little observation on the arm closer to the wave face that i think shouldn’t get behind the body but in front of it most of the time. Thanks again
One time, I'd like to see someone get a surfer level view of what that wave looks like before you turn around. It's hard to explain to new surfers. I tell them to look for a cup at the bottom of the wave and that will get you the under the lip feeling.
What Surfing Really Looks Like: Ep 5 Finding the Lip Line ruclips.net/video/OCB0auwXZqg/видео.html whaddya think?! 🤔
@@conatussurf nah. Go pro flattens everything so its not the same. The cup gets flattened.
Ok. Fwiw some ppl have reported this vid helping them at least see the line. The cup I think is actually less necessary for the very beginners who just need to look at all. The cupped out waves are better for ppl who desire steeper sections. Believe it or not, that’s not everyone. Most ppl are not taught to even look at all and I would say it’s the #1 thing I notice when I am diagnosing someone’s practice (after they come to me for help).
Nice. Definitely going to try this soon. Lately I've just been bulk cooking seitan but I mix vital wheat gluten with blended up mushrooms and bake it so it's kind of a vegan meatloaf thing.
Oh yeah mushroom slurries are a good addition. Beets can give it a red meaty vibe too. This is just suuuuper basic. Thanks for commenting!
The technical term for the non-cobra motion is "girl push-up".
I am not sure this is a “technical term.” We may want to call it a “knee push up,” as women and girls are capable of doing classical push ups from both their knees and their feet.
Definitely a technical term! Just ask Ms Buckles, my 1996 PE teacher.
The point about not connecting with your hips is a really good one. This video helped me concentrate on popping up and pushing off my knees to make space for my legs. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
"You can't pop up from here, you're literally stuck" 100% bs. I can pop up like that and do so with ease, as does JJF, as does Carissa Moore, as does Medina, as does Clayton at OMBE. The only time you aren't seeing cobra is when its an air drop and they have to get to their feet quicker... cobra is the way to go and it doesn't take much research into pro surfing to see that. If you can't pop up from there, its a mobility issue.
Never seen an Ombe client with a nice style. So it makes sense they pop up wrong. Thanks for driving views to my page! Appreciate it. 🤙🏽
@@conatussurf I don’t mind giving you engagement but you’re just dead wrong, go look at every pro surfers pop up. I can link you to slow mo of the current World Champ popping up if you want
@@conatussurf Clayton was just an example, I like how you dodged the other 3 names of World Champions that pop up exactly like this. You aren’t stuck to the board in that cobra pose, at all, I literally pop up from that exact position very fluidly and with no hitch or issue
@@conatussurf sarcasm makes you look a bit salty as well by the way
@@conatussurf lolll, after scrolling through your comment section, you didn’t engage with anyone who didn’t agree with you.. dodged the comparison to the best surfers in the world, and took your opportunity to insult another RUclips community. Wow, what a display of childish and petty behavior from a so-called coach. You’re welcome for the algorithm boost but that’s all you’ll get, you definitely need it since the guy you took the time to insult has 40x the traffic you do on your channel. 🤙🏻 Happy surfing, kook
Hi you pushed off from your toes, what happens if you are on a shortboard?
My thoughts too!
I didn’t. I pulled my legs up and through with my upper abs. It’s just the appearance you get when practicing on land. If you are shortboarding and having pop up issues you probably ought to still be on a longer board to fix them.
Elephant in the room, its not the method, its the person. The problem in the clip at 1:03 is not the 'cobra', its the legs, no pressure on the back of the board, legs straight apart and off the board.
@@Mongiloyd exactly
I have no help. Only videos.. this helped a lot thanks
I,m sure there will be some mixed views on this one but my popup is awful so worth looking into....Some say Cobra for paddling into a wave, some say head forewards, I think there is a place for both what do you think?
Love your even handed comment! So far I have never seen chest down and cobra really work consistently, especially for people who have learned as adults. As you can see in vid, making this small tweak got great results for my student.
Holy shit....my mind is blown. Doing it wrong for years, now😢
No you aren't, this video is not correct
Gld it helped! Vid is correct. Enjoy your better surfing!
@clearthejunk Go look up slow motion John John Florence pop up in Kellys wave pool.. you'll see the world champion using the cobra, just like every other pro surfer, dont listen to this coach with less than 2000 subs, lol.
I always consider bad sessions like this a good workout for the next good session :D
Hmm… the top surfers in the world ALL do a cobra (don’t sit on knees AT ALL)
Actually they don't. ruclips.net/video/XYZ46bGfZ08/видео.html Easier to see with longboarders that tend to stay longer in this position.
Their hips are off the board as soon as the start popping up. so not cobra... ruclips.net/video/XYZ46bGfZ08/видео.html
@@frunkdup828 point dodged, they only commented back to me to diss another RUclipsr and then dodge my point as well.
top tip. thanks no cobra will try!!
Yep! The reason ppl think it’s a cobra on the shortboard is that the board is under water. On a longboard you can see what is really happening. In both cases hips are cleared. Important to note that the amount of time on knees for a shortboarder might be infinitesimal-almost too short to notice - and in some cases we go straight to our feet. But we NEVER COBRA!
Love it, have had so many of these sessions. TY
hahahaa. yeah it's sooo real.
Man, I LOVE this vid - you have such a clear, great ways of explaining and teaching! Esp seeing the reality of surfing sessions My 15yo and I have been learning to surf, and this is so helpful! 🎉
Thanks so much for your comment. I'm stoked that you find these useful. Will keep them coming!
Is there an available part 2 to this somewhere?
Heya! I'm glad you liked this. There isn't a part 2 but I don't mind doing a bunch a videos about Spinoza's theory of the conatus! So I'll get on that. Looks like I meant to do a Pt 2 and never did (or if I did I didn't make it public . . .)
@@conatussurf I would love it if you returned to it or made similar videos, I return to this video probably at least once a month to remind myself of the concept and see how I can reapply it to my life if I feel like I have forgotten how to or that I am straying.
Would've love to see the paddle takeoff
Conatus is the goat - more Influential than Kelly in my Honest opinion
This is the best comment I have ever received. Thank you so much dear human.
@@conatussurf it’s the truth. You do more for me personally than any other surfer.
❤️🙃
Now I know what to bring you on our next surf sesh 😀
LOL
That’s a nice alternative to riding in a crouched position on a smaller wave.
And so so so much fun!
Girl floating in foreground absolutely oblivious lol
Normal! LOL.
taking notes 📝📝📝
damn how did you tear your MCL? Surf related? Thanks for the tips! 🙏🏾
I have torn my right MCL surfing 5x. Left 2x. This was the 2nd and worst of all on left side. It happened on a tiny wave in NJ. I wasn’t taking care of my nutrition and fitness that fall and knew an injury was coming. Then when it came I wasn’t surprised. Fitness can’t ward off all injuries but this one was definitely preventable.
@@conatussurf Damn. Happy to see you're all recovered and healthy. Great reminder that our sport is no joke, and to take care of the body if we want to keep shredding.
Not even close to an Aipa sting design, double wing swallow would be more correct.
Yeah I say it’s a double wing swallow in the vid. Design concept and rationale is similar tho: keep forward foam while pulling in the tail for hold. I take your point tho and have been aware that I say things off the cuff that aren’t totally accurate. Then I post just to keep content flow going. Gonna be much more rigorous with facts moving forward. Thanks for keeping me honest!
Holy shit.... That's why you must be thankful for the surf location you have.
😂
Put your website link in the text summary of each video. Potential viewers can click the link to your website vs closing RUclips and bringing up another browser. Great stuff!
I think I am doing this in every one already? Are you not seeing a hyper link?
going too short too soon is such a good advice. I mainly surf on my 8'0 foamie, I got a 6'0 and after a lot of paddling and scary wipeouts I realized i wasn't ready yet. one thing that worked for me though is taking the shorboard when the waves are very small (1-2ft), those conditions are good to practice taking off and it's also a paddling workout to prepare for the bigger days.
Thanks for this. Nice to hear from your own experience.
I just bought a 7'8" Aipa Big Boy. It has 71L of volume. Do you think you can duck dive this? I'm 59 and tried to paddle out during Hurrican Ernesto and decided it was too much for me.
Heya! Thanks for your comment! It's very hard for me to answer these questions w/out actually seeing you in action. If you want to schedule a call or a consult go over to my website! www.conatussurfclub.com
I have at least a thousand dollars worth of high performance short boards which I surfed for decades. I also enjoy the cheap Wavestorm boards for small waves and ease of paddling. A shoulder injury makes prone paddling painful. Now I can knee paddle into a swell long before it's steep enough for a short board. It doesn't hurt my knees and I can do silly stuff like headstands,coffins and my special footdrag buttspin 180 into reverse coffin. I do feel bad for all the shapers and handcrafted skills that it takes to make a quality board but half of it's all done by automated computers now. Haters gonna hate. It used to be short vs longboards. Now we've got SUPs,foilboards and e-foils. Soft boards should be the least of our worries.
Love this insightful comment. Indeed, there's always more context and nuance than knee-jerk click-bait comments will afford.
If you’re having trouble with your softy, ask your Dr. for a blue pill.
lol "hims" -- or go on a plant predominant diet to help with blood flow -- ED is a precursor to heart failure
Soft boards aren't safe. They are safER than a hardboars. Also, hard boards are as bad for the environment. I surf for 25 years now, and I surf more and more on a high performance softboard than on my fiberglass.
Same for me, my favorite board is my 4'8 twin fin soft top.
Soft tops=no soul
I’ve been hit in the face by heavy ass longboards that people clearly weren’t ready for, i think you should ride a soft top until you can handle your board with confidence, and there’s no other way to learn how to handle it than surfing. Gotta earn a hard board imo
No leash at a fairly busy break? Soul arch, the most contrived thing in all of surfing? Agree to disagree I guess. Good surfing when you get to it though.
They're popular at some spots in Australia because often the lifeguard flags will be put in the middle of the peak. Only way to surf there is body surf, bodyboard or with a soft top otherwise the lifeguard will go off at you. So uncrowded peak, let the lifeguard know you're riding a softtop and hopefully they're good with you surfing there.
Thanks for this! This adds more context and nuance to the discussion. Really appreciate it.
Soft tops have no place in surfing… if you’re scared of your board hurting you, stay in bed 🤙
I don’t know why you care what someone else rides
I surf a balsa - am I a surfer or banned?
@@soulesperanza a pretender
Gate keeping to the max
I love my Conatus Barahona!!
Yew!!!!
José shapes some really nice boards! He’s been my good friend and shaper for over 20 years!
Damn that's rad! What are some of your favorite shapes by him?
@@conatussurf of course his longboards are incredible as are his mid-lengths but by far my favorite boards have been ( we always do a shaping appointment and shape as a collaboration ) the Bonzer’s that we’ve worked together on have been absolutely amazing! Not so much the traditional 1970’s version but more modernized with wider tails, down rails, less cant with the side keels but still with really deep double concave out the tail between the keel fins! I’m a big dude at 6’4”, & 250lbs so typically 23”wide and 3 1/2 thick! Suuuper fast, loose but can hold in double overhead waves and rip waist to head high waves to pieces. I’m currently in Mexico for the summer but when I get home, I’m going to get together with Jose and shape a 12’ glider specifically for the small point breaks down here… cheers buddy 🏄🏼♂️🎣🤙🏻
