The opening clip is the best thing I've ever seen 😂😂😂😂
@@kalanikunimura2468 that's the point lol
kooks ahahaha!!!
Underrated channel.
The fun part of surfing ends when the competition begins.
Indeed
Always watch out for the guy wearing one booty lol. On a serious note, no matter what happens in the lineup don’t ever get violent. It’s not worth it and it always ends bad and it takes away from
Our beautiful sport that we enjoy so very much.
What about a cheeky slap on the bum?
How to Rip yea that never hurt lol.
You guys are amazing. I love the job you are doing in this channel. As someone said before: underrated channel, but i am sure you will collect soon the results of such a good job and effort. Keep going bros
I'm a huge rookie and pissing other (good) surfers off is a big concern for me. Fortunately because of where I live (Barcelona) I'm usually the only one out cause the waves suck so hard. When I do get in someone's way I try to just apologize and make sure it doesn't happen again. It's tough when the good surfers don't give you any courtesy though. Guess that just means I have to get better haha
Dallas Kolotylo exactly bro. Just put your time in, show respect and the stars will aline for you.. And always look down the line . Happy hunting bro🖒
Laird Hamilton he is........
I started surfing in my late 20's and learned the same way, not getting in the way of better surfers, apologizing and sometimes being ignored, getting rude comments and looks. A few years forward I surf better than some of them and I'm having more fun. The universe/karma gives me great surf sessions. Cheers from Portugal.
Bonus: If you're a local at an uncrowded point break, none of these rules apply to you for some reason
really instructional video ! thanks
What if a long boarder catches the set waves, then paddles back out deeper and catches the next best set wave, repeatedly leaving you the shortboarder the scraps.
Very frustrating! Definitely not waiting their turn
Have words with them, or surf somewhere more gnarley.
Then pick up a long board, hehe
I call that cheating 😂😂
1. Get a longboard. 2. Go surf a shore break where long-boarders aren’t at an advantage. 3. Surf bigger and steeper breaks where it makes less difference what size board you’re on. 4. Just whinge heaps in the comments section.
I've been surfing for around 20 years in PR, Hatteras and Mexico. Last night, I paddled out and there were a some tourists and one local girl out on a great evening of surf. The problem was they were all sitting about half way to the peak. I paddled by them up to the location of the peak. I waited and watched them miss 3 or 4 waves, and then I went. They kept missing a lot of waves and/or deciding not to go for whatever reason. The girl got all frustrated that I kept paddling past their group and up to the peak after I caught my waves and had some words with me. Is there anytime where it's ok to paddle inside of people if they are out of position and wasting waves. I didn't want to be a dick, but they weren't really surfing much either due to not catching waves, and sun was setting. Also, in my experience, the break is almost always a free for all. The good surfers surf, the rest don't. That's life in surfing at 80% of the breaks I've been to. Your insights?
There is a difference between paddling inside of people and the people being off the peak. If the group wasn't sitting on the peak, then they are just wanting the scraps. Sounds to me like you were more than generous and gave them many opportunitys. I do the same here at my home break. If you aren't sitting/taking off at the peak then you will just have to be happy with the inside scraps.
If waves are going through consistently unridden like CJ said because people are sitting out of position and missing all the waves, then for sure go and sit on the peak.
Very cool video - thanks :)
you slapped him on the arse 😂😂😂😂
Before I learned to duck dive, I did a roll over where I would hold onto my board and turn over. I found it very useful.
Turtle roll?
Every starter surfer must see. You got any training or routing for surf?
Nice video guys! I just wanted to say that when your paddling out, of course you should get out of the way of other people, at least try. But the one surfing should definitely be careful and try to avoid other people, if he can’t and decide to just ride over you because he has « priority » he is definitely in the wrong... That’s just a detail though, good videos guys I like it:))
Yes...totally agree. The guy paddling can't move that fast. The surfer up and riding should always try avoid people. Shit happens....sometimes you're in the wrong place
I feel like in the first clip, the one surfing the wave is actually in the right cause he's closest the the breaking point of the wave and it is clearly a left wave, am I wrong ? and why ?
Ye thats what i though too
Yeah it was his wave but when someone else is a dick there's no need to escalate it.
When the guy got back a quick "hey maybe u didn't know but the person closest to the break has right of wave so it was kind of a dick move to catch it when I was about to" would've probably been embarrassing enough that guy wouldn't've done it again.
Can u guys do a quick vid on how to 360 (forward rotation)
-Thanks from Cali!
Hmmmmmmmmm have a look at the rotation section of our 6 Advanced Surfing Lessons
How to Rip ok I’ll check it out! U guys r the best!
Besides surfing, what else do you do to stay in-shape to last longer in the water? I do a mix of weight-training, running, yoga and swimming/paddling, but I'm trying to narrow it down to just 1 or 2 of those + surfing. Thx.
Weight training & yoga 🤙🏽
Brendan, Try a 30-minute High-intensity workout like 9Round or maybe pick up some no-Gi BJJ class.
Semen retention and less partying.
Paddling , calisthenics
How do I generate speed on a slow forming wave? I surf a left point break (my backhand) and I loose a lot of speed and then when the section comes, I don't have any speed to do anything.
See our backhand surfing video
You should do a version in portuguese
Good idea Marcos
Good video that everyone who surfs should watch. However you left out 2 important points: 2 times when it is NOT your turn to take a wave.
1. If you have just ridden a wave and paddled back to the lineup. Do NOT spin around and paddle for the very next wave! IT'S NOT YOUR TURN.
2. if you have just committed to taking a wave, paddled hard, and missed it. DO NOT keep paddling for subsequent waves til you catch one! ITS NOT YOUR TURN.
IKR
I am a fan of you since 2015 top Top
I am also a fan of you !! ❤️ RyRy
I like that! Dont be that guy!
Yeah Philly
I’m curious about the snaking rule in the following context. I surf a reef break on a longboard with other younger long boarders. I usually sit in the line up and try to wait my turn but it’s hard to always tell who is next with many folks so I sort of hang in my spot and wait to see if anyone else is paddling. If not I go. Anyway I’ve noticed a few times folks on the outside paddle out when a bigger wave comes because the break point moves. When they do that they end up catching the wave earlier. Anyway in short. 1) I was on the inside 2) I had waited 3) Alarge wave came and broke further out.4)The guy paddled for it and caught it placing him on the inside. So I thought I’d been snaked, but in fairness the break point moved a bit due to the size and he recognized it. Wasn’t a big deal except it was the Same guy 3 times in a row and I was fed up and well sometimes you gotta break rules to know the rules. What is the rule? Oh I should mention. I totally get it when you paddle out say 20 yards because a really big set comes. The guy who did the work gets the wave. I’ve talking a different scenario where I’d be catching the wave before it breaks right where I am, I’m on the inside but the breakpoint is moving maybe 10 yards. I feel like its snaking then. I should add I did drop in on the guy after he did that 3 times and we did do some using which wasn’t cool. But seriously just wanna know the rule. I felt like if it’s the same guy 3 times its time to drop in on him and see what happens.
Should be posted world wide
nice shades
jUst, respect!!
Bro #5 is so important. Great video. For all you Kooks out there. Watch this video and learn it !!!
Great tips, simple stuff that all surfers should learn early on. I just wish all surfers, both experienced and learners would actually abide by them more often than not. At our local break where there is really only one decent take off area on pumping days, all etiquette discussed here goes out the window and testosterone and aggressiveness win out. It is against everything surfing is about but it now happen everywhere and seems to be getting worse. The clear message is then, if you don't like it, F off to other breaks. Respect, patience and just good will should be paramount so we can all shred! There's always waves in the sea...
It's like that everywhere. What I found is that when I was learning, I didn't get any waves. Then I got a little better and I could pick up some scraps. I slowly progressed and EARNED the privilege of surfing waves at crowded breaks. Surfing is not a right, it's a privilege. I hate when beginners feel entitled. I think you have to pay your dues like everyone else getting up the curve or like you said F off to another break where there are no people. When you're good a surfing you will catch as many waves as you want, even in a crowd.
...and always say sorry if you do drop in (even if you don't want to)
Thanks for this. I find in the very crowded lineups where I live in N Cal, order breaks down because of confusion. Then the drop in rule seems like the only thing that is observed. It’s tense and competitive!
The way it should be.
I've seen lots of selfish guy in Aus.
Some guy drops in another surfer roughly, but when another surfer does so to some guy,the guy got angry suddenly and strongly.
I reckon we should look at a situation and give waves to others mutually.
Maybe arseholes just shouldn’t surf ... 🤓🧐
How to Rip Exactly right
This kooky Japanese guy sitting on the shoulder dropped in on me once, showed no remorse whatsoever. Lol
Snaking on the gold coast is the norm unfortunately. If you patiently wait for your turn you will rarely get a wave
Hence all the blowups
Yeah just learning this since moving here. What's a blow up?
And please don't be a surfpolice in the water, blocking peaks, entring ultracrowded spot with 5 friends. Waith the line on a point. Maybe give some waves, to the others. And if you dropped a wave just go out the way and try to avoid a snowball. There is no surfer who didn't do a 'drop-in' in his live, keep the peace, fuck competition and have fun.
I live in south florida where there is no surf edicate .. If your not that guy you don't surf lol .. Bummer but true
Be the example!
today this guy dropped in on me and i didnt say anything i just rode the wave behind him then he did a cutback straight into me.. i gotta shout next time or something for sure . it was bad too because we both bailed and when he popped up my board bonked him in the head.
Let them know you're there Whyz, sometimes people don't even look!
What about that guy that paddles for every wave you paddle for?
What about those jerks that always back paddle?
Great points. This should be required watch for any beginner surfer. Bad surf etiquete not only makes people not like you, it's dangerous. I watch alot of indo vids from Surfers of Bali channel, and i'm amazed at how many people who haven't even mastered how to stand up are out flailing around at Uluwatu. Please don't go to more advanced spots to learn.
Don’t newbies get first priority so they can learn faster?
Your battle is already lost since almost all servers are assholes! That’s the exact reason why I moved to the Caribbean the surf with about 2 to 3 people and they could even be assholes at times but those are my friends so it’s OK
Do you know any good beaches for beginners in the Caribbean? I'm sailing there soon
The guy that takes off on a point break then paddles immediately back to the top of the line up disrespecting all who's waiting their turn and takes another wave. Don't be that boy. Perhaps a static camera that records everything in public can help devine the wrongs and the rights that hardly side on the meek but the might brings the fair to the fight.
What about respecting the locals where you visit? No one ever talks about that
KWC Corlett localism sucks and so do you punk!
Goes without saying
Kinda hard to know who's a local most of the time
Prerequisite.
Guy or girl.
It's taught in kindergarten. Play well with others!
If you drop in on me ill drop a duece in your board!
There is no manners in the surf.
There should be.
and i bet you drop in on people, kook.
Boring. I was hoping to see some punch ons.
Surfing has become everything it shouldn’t be and a lot of it is because of You Tube. Once unridden spots are now over crowded and it’s all commercialized to the point young people don’t know the difference. Sad but true.
I suggest you surf Canggu. Super uncrowded and has the best vibe in the water I’ve ever surfed.
Shaka to you brother.
Lol
You tube is also the cause of famine
damian mcgeown Just a observation kids, I’m older so I remember when ten to fifteen guys out was a crowd and that was Hawaii where I grew up so things have changed a bit. Now even on a twenty foot day there’s 60 to 70 guys in the water.
How to Rip I love you tube videos but it is what it is. Even Teahupoo Tahiti had only been ridin by a handful of guys not that long ago. Now it’s packed on any given day and you can bet most found out about it through YT. Again if you are under 35/40 you don’t remember when surfing wasn’t so commercialized like it is today so what’s the difference. Some little piss ant Millennial not gonna know or care, getting Subs is what’s important! 🖕😂🖕
