Luca Molamphy the key is not panicking when you take a beating. If you panic and try swimming to the surface while you’re still getting tossed you’ll run out of air. If you relax and wait for the wave to let you up you’ll be fine. Also, take a deep breath before you start paddling for the wave and fully commit to the wave. Big barreling waves require a few more paddles to get over the ledge too.
I was just thinking the same thing. I would say I am at that stage of progressing to bigger swell.. but I recently got a pounding and it’s thrown me off a bit mentally. I would love a video of how to 1.overcome the fear and then 2. If it does happen to go bad, what are some safety techniques or training you can practice doing when you do eventually get stuck. Great videos guys. Huge fan. You have helped me a lot this summer
I am not an expert but I used to have the same problem of fear when paddling into big waves and what helped me was not to look straight down all the time. If you try and look down the line, the direction you wanna go while paddling, the fear will be gone as you are not looking down. As you are looking at the wave, you can decide even before you are on your feet weather to do a bottom turn or pump to clear fast breaking section. Try and angle your takeoff by putting more pressure on one the hand as you are popping up. Gives you more time to pop up. I myself have not mastered it yet but it is what helps me.
Awesome video! I am 14 years old, I just started surfing about 3 to 4 months ago and I am an intermediate surfer! A few days ago I had a surf competition and I got first place!!! I am so happy!!! Thank you so much for posting these videos with such amazing and informative content! They have really helped me improve my surfing a lot! Keep up the great work!
Hey guys as winter is here I just bought my first ever brand new steamer that wasn’t second hand and it cost me a fortune so I want to know how to take care of it because it cost so much do you reckon you could make a video of wetsuit maintanence?
Great tips!! Totally looking for these kinds of tips, will give them a go. Question: Sometimes the conditions are a bit more round and slow, and that makes me want to take out my 7’2” Mini-Mal. While I catch alot fo waves this way, I wonder if I am hindering my progression. Should I always take out a shorter board or a high performance groveler and just deal with less waves for better maneuvers if I want to improve?
awesome! This stuff breaking down intermediate techniques is great. Are there any dryland drills you do to train the movement / body positions used in turns?
thanks so mutch, great videos, you helped me a lot !! can you do a video, for duck dive in medium to big condition. i'm always fearing big waves becouse my duck dive techniques sucks :-(
Hello guys, thanks a lot for your vids, just curious about buying surf equipment and sending it to Russia, is it possible? If yes, I would like to have a catalog or site to check it out!
Hi, something that I don't understand watching your videos: your backfoot most of times go a lot underwater than I usually see.. Is cause of the shape of the machado fish?
As a general rule, what size total volume should a 6'2 - 210-pound guy be riding as an advanced to expert surfer? I am interested to hear what the community thinks...
If I recall correctly kale did a video on volume vs weight recomendations giving a way to calculate your perfect volume parting from your weight. I, for example, got a 5,8 with 30L of volume weighting 80kg and beeing 1,80m tall (dont know the equivalence in imperial units) and it works really good for me.

Can you make a video on overcoming fear of big waves. This channel helped me with a lot of questions I had and refine my surfing.

Luca and Bryan, can do!

I struggle with riding over the lip so much!! Thank you!!
It takes some practice!
Thx for the tips as always guys!
Can you do this for fishes and singlefins? For the handful of us who want a more classic, cruisey style : )
Sounds good!
@@HowtoRip yew!
Doing this in st Augustine is a real struggle because we only get good waves when it’s a hurricane swell
River Ross I live in Daytona Beach, I’m with you
Exactly what I needed!

Maybe try a higher volume short board so get best of both worlds - hard to rip on a 7.2
You could try a high performance fish with slightly higher volume!
Awesome explanation! Thank you so much
Great tips, thanks!
Very useful . I really enjoy your Videos!
I liked how you compared yourself doing it wrong vs doing it right.
Thanks for the tips, guys it’s so helpful

6'2-6'4, 33-36L
Its depend on the spot you surfing, hollow vs weak, beachbreak or reef and so on it could depend on conditions too.
YALEX - Perfect, general rule. Thanks!
Youdig surf - Don’t forget wetsuit vs non-wetsuit. ;)
added to watch later

Ramps 🤤🤤

Surfing since 1966. Paddle out at 0 dark thirty. Be the first in the water.

Maybe without the glasses you'll be more personal and close to us... Don't be a cliché
First comment
Terminator will explain you how to surf. Not very funny to watch even if you're right.
