- Surfing large waves can be on of the largest adrenaline rushes to a surfer...when it's done right.
For this episode I cover a more advanced topic, dropping in correctly on big waves. But keep in mind that surfing big waves is for intermediate to advanced surfers. Don't rush into big waves if you're not experienced, it will not go well.
Thanks for watching. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll see ya on the sand.
Music: Margareta and Ludwig Moulin
something i've learned in my very short (two years) of surfing is that i watch so many videos like this but when you're actually looking down the face of an 8ft wave it looks like its 20ft and all of the planning goes out the window 😂
The realest comment I’ve ever seen 💀💀💀💀💀💀 this was me. I was your sentence. Went over on a 10ft that felt like the height of my home 😭😭😭
This is awesome. The #1 thing I like watching in surfing is takeoffs. And for some reason, surf movies love cutting that part out.
Love the side by side of a make and a miss from the same day.
Those are the best, makes it easier to show what I'm saying
Made some minor adjustments from this video, particularly driving the board down more aggressively in this big nor cal swell- got in earlier and was able to set my line instead of getting smashed as often. Snagged some great ones.
Thanks legend!
Great technical breakdown, Brad. Go big...and charge.
Thanks!
5:50, it seems to me that the steeper the wave, the faster the pop up but as important is the angling of the take off so not to loose contact with the face of the wave and the rail of the board. Each wave has a different speed and thus more or less time to angle and take off, I must stay on waves that related to my skill level, will allow me to take off properly. Thanks for the videos! I really enjoy them!
Thanks!. You are correct, each spot has it's own techniques depending on many factors.
Great video!
Thanks!
Epic vid Brad 🤙🏾 going to test these theories at Big Porto soon, hopefully
Thanks! Good luck
Shout out to Connor Beatty!! Long time no see bro!! Slaying it! God bless!
Such a good human.
7:15, 15:40 you may have just solved my biggest problem. Delaying my takeoff by a bit because momentum loss. So I I always end up dropping in bit late when i should already be down the line. I suppose planing position isnt optimal, and as you said, not pushing the board down enough. Going to emphasize this today.
Whats interesting is that a lot of other videos say the steeper the wave the more you need to take off at an angle, but maybe that applies more to long boards
Great vid 🤙🏼
Thanks!
This video helps a lot !!!
Always wondered how much experience these guys have on average to ride big waves. Do you need to master shortboard first to start surfing big waves? What’s the roadmap here?
The wedge is tricky
Beverly Hills ?
@@sneakerset lol
Can you surf on small waves? Or does your injury makes you totally unable to surf?
@Brad do you still surf yourself?
Not often. I have a bulging disc and it flames up when paddling a short board.
@@BradJacobson same with me I have a bulging disc I do mostly videos myself but yours are epic keep them coming and loving it your narration and spot on your music is tight.. 😎 your footage is spectacular! Subscribe to your channel
