Beautiful to see your young Son transition as time went on. His lines and flow went so smoothly. It just goes to show, with the right mentor/ coach/ Dad and putting in the work! Beautiful to see the fruits of one’s labor 💯 This is that same kind of bond I have with my children 🙏🏽 🌎 🏄🏽♂️🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thank you so much! Yes, it creates a great bond eh; he's 6’1” now; and bigger than me 😂😂 he is only 16. We are surfing together regularly, and Mum films hence all the footage🙏🤙🤙🤙
Really nice video. Something I feel worth adding is that the "beginner" stage of turning is kinda unavoidable and it's better to stay slow but with good and controlled motions rather than trying to go full speed and have your body all over the place. As for everything, speed will come if you practice for it and this is where a lot of surfers get lost: after you have the movement down you want to limit test yourself and progressively speeding up things, while keeping the movement fluidity. When you start experiencing it, I would say it's almost intoxicating. The more speed you get, the more you want and everything becomes easier: your board responds better, your turns are nicer, your carves are deeper and more powerful. That's why I think that surfing boils down to very few key aspects to master in order to be successful in your progression: aim (where you look is where you go), commitment (don't hesitate, go for it) and speed (turning something that is barely moving it's hard). Keep it up with the great content, Best 🤙
Hi Spider, thanks for the positive feedback. Yes, I agree when you hit that sweet spot, it feels so good! And it becomes effortless! And you want more and more😃🤙
It's great to look at the way you're generating speed on those small waves! I've been working on my surfing for a couple of years more seriously and I knew turning creates speed but didn't understand why.@@surfingtipsandtricks
@@jameskemp4508 it's because of water being displaced, mainly. Every small turn you make will propel your board forward, even if not in a straight line but more in a "S" shape. You can get the feeling on a surf skate, if you start twisting left to right while extending and compressing like you want to sink each rail into the concrete. When done correctly you feel the skate accelerating at the end of the each turn and you'll hear the wheels gripping on the surface. Same feeling in the water, just things are a little bit slower, and you need to push a little bit harder. From a physics perspective is the combination of centripetal and centrifugal force. Best!

Hey Mike. Thanks for the great analysis! I don't think I've seen such a great breakdown and I learned a new word!🤣
Hi James , thanks for the positive feedback. Yes it’s not easy to say either 😂😂😂😀🤙

Yes, I think it helps to understand that inward pull. You can feel it and visualise it when you know it🙏
