    What I like about your videos is that your narration is relaxed and calming. It really is in the spirit of surfing that most of us should have. Fun without dangerous impulsivity. No aggression or ego. Thoughtful experimentation to better understand your boards and conditions so that you can have even more fun. Totally opposite to the testosterone driven, impulsive, thrill seeking and mindless aggression that many surfers have toward their sport and to each other. It's fully possible to have a fantastic day surfing on average waves without dropping 20 ft, holding your breath for 2 mins under white water, scraping reefs and throwing punches. If more surfers had your attitude then surfing would be a lot more fun for a lot more surfers. Thanks for your videos. I really enjoy them.

      Your comment should be posted on ALL surfing videos. Im 60 now and the nasty vibe is full on in some spots. Perhaps it's a trend and will fade.

    • @DoctorShrink
      @DoctorShrink 7 лет назад +4

      I'm 58. I don't think the trend toward aggro in the surf will fade any time soon. I think it's getting worse. I ride a SUP and stay out wide out of the way, picking up waves no short board rider would want but that still give me heaps of fun.

    Great video. Highly recommend 808 as well. I surf this spot when I take the family in the summer as Launiupoko tends to get too crowded. Tried foiling for the first time in July of this year between Pua and Launiupoko and spent most of the time in the water.

    • @clayisland
      @clayisland  6 лет назад +2

      FincaDelSol PR Thanks. I recommend finding a local who's willing to share their knowledge of boards and spots. There always seems to be someone who has a lifetime of experience and who would love to pass on their life's work to a person who really appreciates them. If not this sounds like an invitation to becoming the wisdom keeper :)

    Great video as always. Been watching your videos for about a year now and have learned so much about SUP surfing and love the stoke and calmness of all your videos. Question; could you show a photo or something that reveals your GoPro stick? I love that angle bc its up in the air instead of being on the bottom of the board. Thanks any help appreciated.

      Hi again. Could you compare the Flight Hawaii Triton board you rode in this video to your Stretch and Simsup boards? I’m trying to get my bearings on what style of board I want...
      Thanks in advance!
      Btw, that 1000-yard foil ride was unreal! Are you sure you weren’t riding one of those motorized boards?! 😄

    • @clayisland
      @clayisland  4 года назад

      @@TurboE30M3 hi, it's been a while. Stretch made me a stinger tail SUP before I got into foiling and that's the best board I've ever ridden. I remember triton having pulled in tail so turned well from the back and also a bit tippy back there. Simsup is a fast down the line no cutback kinda board.

  • @hrburrell7587
    @hrburrell7587 7 лет назад +1

    Clay how do you like transitioning into surfing stance from a neutral stance vs a staggered stance? I haven't had much luck catching waves in a neutral "paddle" stance unless they are very small, I have found that I have to be in a staggered semi surf stance with anything over a couple of feet or I will usually eat it because I can't transition fast enough. the waves here on the gulf of mexico are mainly wind driven chop and dump very fast so you don't get much time to get into position before they break.

    • @clayisland
      @clayisland  7 лет назад +1

      Hi, on bigger boards I feel freer to put my feet wherever, on smaller boards staggered stance seems more necessary. Moving both feet at the same time (jumping) or keeping my paddle in the water while moving my feet helps also.

    • @hrburrell
      @hrburrell 7 лет назад

      make sense. I think a lot has to do with the quality of the surf ie how steep and fast they break. just my opinion. I can see how the larger more stable boards would give you more time to move around with less wobble. Now if we would get some decent waves here...great vids... happy surfing

    • @clayisland
      @clayisland  7 лет назад

      I hear you and I agree. Have you tried different shapes? I find my winter board doesn't work in smaller faster dumpier waves. My simmons shape works much better, as it takes off down the line and requires less footwork to make the sections. Wishing us both great waves!

    after browsing in your channel and looking some tutorials todau here in israel was a great day for surfing and i got my few first real waves on my sup!
    had a great day met a lot of other surfers and really had a lot of fun and felt amazing
    and with that come the quastion:
    what tips do you have to balance on the board?
    does it come with time or there are some drills to do to make it easier?
    any way i had a great day and some of it was because of you so thanks!

    • @clayisland
      @clayisland  4 года назад

      Hi and Thanks and Great to hear your stoke! I struggled with a 29" board and then went wider to 32" and that gave me the balance I needed. I think the best practice is to go paddle, time on the water helps with everything.

    I used to Windsurf Maui (Spreks and some Hookipa), but didn't really SUP much in those days. Took my SUP there last time. got to do S-Turns over near Lahaina. But . . . Where are these spots? Are these northshore? Dying to know for next time that I got over there. Especially that place with lots of other SUP guys - being friendly! I used to surf Shark Pit on the south side of Lahaina. but I don't think that they would be friendly to SUPs out there.
