Thank you all so much for watching! I hope you learnt something new and got to know me better. If you have any extra questions, please leave them in the comments and I’ll try my best to answer them all. Upcoming videos: best GoPro settings for POV Surfing, how I do artwork on my boards, unboxing the GoPro hero 10, how to do an air reverse, and heaps of pov sessions (if the surf allows it!) - Noz ❤️
Nice one mate, appreciate the openness about your struggles with mental health. I’ve battled most of my life too! I couldn’t agree more with your positive message of looking out for each other. Don’t worry about the big surf thing. Some people are just wired that way! Both my older brothers love big surf but me, not so much. Looking forward to some edits soon!
Thank you so much Josh! It’s actually super nice to know I’m not alone. And I 100% agree that people are wired differently - JJF and those guys seem like maniacs. Your support means so much to me mate, will be more edits coming soon when the weather/waves clear up and our collab is definitely on the RUclips schedule this year 🙏🏽
Dude you're a legend. Still bummed I haven't run into you in the surf. My mate Nelly and I have a running joke where anytime we see a dude ripping we exclaim "is that Noz!?" One day we're gonna be right. Also if you're ever intimidated by big waves, try going out on a bodyboard instead. As a bodyboarder who learnt to surf when I was 17, I didn't have a lot of fear of bigger waves, as bodyboarding is easier to make the drop/take off, so I was always super confident in making the wave. Bodyboarding a bunch of local reef and slabs probably helped too. I think this just helped me feel more at home in bigger surf when I transitioned more to surfing. Also, don't worry I still piss myself on the heavy days too haha
Hahaha thank you so much! That is absolute gold about that joke 😂 I hope to see you out there someday soon. And thank you heaps for the advice, that’s actually a really good idea. Super grateful for the kind words mate 🙏🏽
I get it now about not wanting to tell anyone about your surf spots. Makes so much sense. I do the same thing with my special spots! Keep up the good work! Yeeew!
This has gotta be one of my favorite videos. It’s really cool getting to know you more and your plans for the future! Can’t wait for all the upcoming videos coming out! Keep up the great work legend!
Loved the last part bout trama, great support to mental help. Thanks your doin great! Had a lot of surf trama my self been pushin past it every day took 5 months for me to really get back to expanding and getting comfortable in big surf. Sick to know I’m not the only one 🤙🤙
Amazing video Noah. Thanks for being open about your fear of drowning/panic in big waves. I am exactly the same. I was surfing in France this year, and the waves were probably 1 meter tall. I took so many fun waves, but when the bigger set came and I had to go under, I released my oxygen by accident because the wave had come with tremendous force. It felt like I was down there for 20 seconds. That big set must have been 1.5 - 1.7 meter max and I had a panic attack. My breathing got rapid, and I got out to have a breath. I was with my dad and our friends but I still didn't feel ok. Even though the water was shoulder depth I had to stop.
Thank you so much Jayden! And I appreciate you opening up and sharing that story too. It’s crazy what our minds can do to us. The ocean is beautiful and sometimes scary place, it’s almost like it’s trying to remind us how powerful it can be sometimes. Glad you’re okay mate. We will work our way up one surf at a time 💪🏽
Thanks so much mate!! Stoked that tip helped, definitely been an eye opener for my students. And I’d love to in the future, hopefully I can work with some brands and test them out, as I’ve only got a couple pairs 🙌🏽 but thank you for the idea
@@SurfingWithNoz thank you bro!! Its that I’ve seen you ride the felipe toledo fins. And if im not mistaken those fins are stiff, less flex. And all youtube videos tell you to ride flexier fins in smaller waves. But you break that pattern. I assume the stiffer the faster response and better for high performance surfing. Or probably its that your just a beast 💪😂
Heaps of good surf tutorials on RUclips and have always loved your’s the best. But after this video, I have much more respect for you. Thank you for this.
I can relate to anxiety and panic in the water. When I first started I dreaded the first duck dive and being under water. I feel comfy now in waves 4-5 foot but I really love the 2-3 foot playful fun days. Ocean has helped me with anxiety because when you are out there, you can’t panic. You have to hold it together to paddle back in. But I respect that you have a wave size limit. I do too. Surfing isn’t fun when it’s scary. Cheers 🤙🏾
It’s so nice to know I’m not the only one. Thank you so much for the supportive comment man, 100% agree we have to respect the ocean and keep our cool under pressure. 2-3ft is the sweet spot for fun 🙌🏽
Thanks for sharing about your mental health I bet it was hard to film that plus sharing it for the world to see good on you dude . Keep up the good work your a champion.
That’s okay mate! Thank you so much for the kind words Mitchell. It definitely was hard to speak on and then share it on the internet, but I honestly feel so good that I was able to share it with you guys. And so grateful for all the kind comments like yours, having my back 🤝🏽
Noah, just came over to this vid on your recommendation about epoxy boards Vs PU so thanks for that. I've gone with an EPS dhd phoenix with swallow tail so looking forward to surfing that. Just a quick bit of advice as it's helped me, I'm 37 and randomly started getting real bad anxiety in certain situations (sometimes surfing when the waves are bigger sometimes when im driving etc) I've started doing a lot of breathing exercises and training to hold my breath longer it helps with feeling more comfortable in uncomfortable situations whatever they may be. Keep up the good work ripper
Hey Rich. I think that’s the right choice. You’ll have so much fun on that board 🙌🏽 I really appreciate the advice about anxiety, it’s nice to know I’m not the only once who gets affected by it 🙏🏽 I’ll definitely look into some breathing techniques and start practicing. Thank you legend 🤝🏽😄
I can definitely relate to being scared of big waves, if i go out in surf any bigger than 5 ft i start to freak out. But thanks for another awesome video cant wait to see stuff more frequently🤙🤙🤙
Mate, I’m 40 and when i was a teen, i got smashed on the inside at a local beach. It was probably only a few foot of storm surf, but it felt huge to me and gave me a real fright. I’ve just got back into it after about 10 years barely surfing, and anything over 2metres (which is overhead for me) i assess the conditions very carefully before going out. Not everyone needs to be a big wave Surfer, and people shouldn’t be embarrassed when they admit their limitations. Surfing is about having fun.
although i cant relate to being scared of waves that are big i can definetely understand why it is scary when i first started i was scared but through going out when it is big and having a good session is what mostly got me past that so keep working on it and keep shredding
Nice q&a video very honest review and helpful you’re a legend I was eagerly waiting for this new video to come out and can’t wait for the next one 🙏 Hope to see some more tutorials cause those are my favorites 🤩 Keep it up love what you do 🤙🤙 🇫🇷
Thanks so much brother! Had a nice break, keen to jump back on the horse and keep creating content. As promised your highly requested tutorial will be the first I make (of the tutorials) so grateful for the support legend 🙏🏽
Do you do surfing lessons? This is an edit: I am a lifeguard and I struggle with big waves but I’ve faced my fears and it gets better but the anxiety is still there, you’ll get more confidence brother just keep pushing yourself but not too much, stay in your comfort zone until you are ready, just remember to breathe bro ❤
If you refer to surf coaching yes! I do in-person sessions in Sydney and online coaching from anywhere on my website www.surfingwithnoz.com I really appreciate the kind words of support! Awesome to know I’m not alone. I’ve come a fair way since I made this video and am getting more and more comfortable in bigger/heavier waves. Thank you so much for sharing legend!! Wish you the absolute best 🙏🏽❤️
Great video man! If you want to face your limits in bigger waves you should really try apnea training! It helped me so much to mantain calm and be confident in rough conditions. You rip brother, congrats on the channel and cheers from south brazil
Hey bro, I could definitely do one. But I’m mostly sitting in the line up waiting for waves. I’ll definitely make a video on catching waves and being in the right spot
Mate I my mate saw you in the line up at ****** beach Bigger waves aren’t for everyone personally im ok with them but it’s great to see a Q and A yewwwww
Ayeee were you the grom who came up to me? Yeah 100%, stoked you enjoy them. Just personal preference for everyone. Glad you liked the video mate. Thanks for asking some good questions 😅
Great video. I made some enemies I think by exposing where I surf. They are very public beaches so I didn't think it was a big deal, but some people are very sensitive and need to blame someone for why they aren't having fun. Live an learn I guess. LOL Keep it up and really enjoying your vids.
btw, I don't think there is a need to surf big waves if you don't like it. You don't need to prove anything to anyone, even yourself. Besides, I personally don't have fun in "big" waves. To me it's like riding a motorcycle. You can ride one and enjoy the scenery, but no need to prove how fast you can go. Also, BIG is relative. You likely surf waves that are considered big for others and small for a very few. Just be you, brotha.
@@ThomyeSurfs thank you so much for the kind words brother! I’ve been highly advised to keep it low key even though they’ve ran a CT comp at one of the spots haha, sucks you had to learn the hard way but you’re so right, they just want someone to blame 🤷🏽♂️ That means a lot about the big wave stuff so thank you bro! Guess I’m not wired like others, but would be awesome to push myself (cautiously) and see how big I can go. Just checked out your channel mate, really awesome content (I subbed 🤜🏽)!! I plan on doing a lot more educational videos so great to know there’s others in the space to learn and grow with 🙌🏽 Cheers mate, all the best
@@SurfingWithNoz I was just thinking too, that if you surveyed 100K surfers, and asked them if they preferred the ability to pull a rad air reverse (like you do) vs surf a 20'+ (7 meter wave) wave, I'm certain the bulk of them would say, pull an air reverse. I know I would. So, you are actually way ahead of the curve. :)😁
6 foot is basicly 1.8 m which is pretty tall but here in the meditarenian we get 3 meter waves all winter sometimes even summer and im surprised cause Australia has the pacific and we have a closed sea , anyway great vids found you today and have been watching all day keep it up
Hey mate, thank you so much for the kind words!! So stoked you’re enjoying my videos 😅 Yeah when I measure waves I’m calling a 3ft wave 1.8M face. As in Australia we measure from the back of the wave (which we say is half the face) so 2-3ft is chest to slightly overhead even though it would be between 4-7ft faces haha so random 😂
Hahaha you made it broooo!! Toledo’s by a mile, but I’ve only tried like 4 different models so can’t confirm they’re the best until I’ve ridden the rest
100% bro. Really good question btw. I’ll definitely try it one day - I actually had the opportunity to work at my mates, dads surf factory and shape but everyone who’d worked there before told me how bad that dust and stuff is for you so that turned me away. And then I’ve kinda been like ahh I’ll leave it to the professionals to make my boards. But maybe I’ll make a video with Vibe in the shaping bay and he can give a few pointers to aspiring shapers and curious surfers 🤙🏽
Yeah I see lots of beginner/intermediates on firewires. Thanks for sharing that with us! I rarely do, but if it’s super small I’ll take out a mini mal. Would love to get a proper longboard someday though 🙌🏽
Hey bro, I go through that at 08:31 in the video. It’s just a standard performance board but a tad smaller in height, yet wider and thicker to add about 1-1.5L of volume and the rocker is slightly flatter so it goes faster 😄
hey i got the same fear with big waves because when i was about 10 i caught a wave about 9 feet and i just ate crap and i almost drowned and this life guard saved me
Yeah man it’s rough! Know you’re not the only one, there’s plenty of other people like us. And I’m glad you’re okay. The ocean is a beautiful but scary place 🙌🏽
Cool man. i have transitioned from surfing sloppy waves to extremely fast reef breaks. Do you have any ideas of how to get my legs less stiff? because i can do simple turns and i know all the body movements out of water but they never seem to click in the water. thanks
Thanks mate. Do you have a surf skate? If not, they’re a great investment for your surfing. Can definitely help loosen you up and get that flow. And just so I can understand a bit better, are you stuff throughout the whole ride or just when you’re doing turns?
@@SurfingWithNoz mainly throughout the whole ride and when I’m pumping. I don’t have a surf skate but I’m planning on getting one soon. I’m trying to use a normal skateboard but the reaction to my leg movements are incredibly slow because out of the water I have most movements. The only thing I am wondering about is do I have to lean my whole body into the bottom turn or, just do I have to put pressure on my toes and does it automatically make the board off Centre. Thanks mate
Hey, I’m sorry I don’t name or really talk about the the specific locations in the videos- I explain it all in the video. Thank you for understanding! 😊🤙🏽 PS: the sandbanks are constantly changing so some spots might be crap one week then pumping the next. Best to get a surf forecast app like Surfline and check the cameras 🤙🏽
In the clip when I was from 100%. But not anymore, if I was fearless and charged the goal would maybe still be alive but those guys are on another level! Like there’s 10 year olds doing bigger airs than me these days 😂
I don’t get the ego with surfing big waves. They aren’t even fun. Doing a big carve on a big wave doesn’t feel fun. Big barrels look cool but if it’s not barreling big wave riding isn’t fun whatsoever IMO
@@SurfingWithNoz I got homies that charge big waves out here all they know how to do is make a bottom turn but literally don’t know how to do a simple cutback. Like they ego me when I like to go out and practice turns on small surf when they can’t even do a turn 😂
Thank you all so much for watching! I hope you learnt something new and got to know me better.

@@SurfingWithNoz si cool how in diffrent places people messaure waves, i would think it all the same but i guess not. 😂😂😅
@@Aaron.l29 I know it’s actually pretty annoying 😂 why can’t we just measure from the face
Claim, also, what fcs fins do you find best?
Hahaha you made it broooo!! Toledo’s by a mile, but I’ve only tried like 4 different models so can’t confirm they’re the best until I’ve ridden the rest
Anyone else wanna be friends with Noz?? Seems like such a cool dude 🤙🏻
That’s so nice of you bro! Thank you so much 😄
@@SurfingWithNoz Of course brotha! Love the videos and I find them to be very helpful. If you're ever in Southern California, let me know! 🤙🏻
I got a question. Have you ever thought of trying to learn how to shape your own boards for fun?
100% bro. Really good question btw. I’ll definitely try it one day - I actually had the opportunity to work at my mates, dads surf factory and shape but everyone who’d worked there before told me how bad that dust and stuff is for you so that turned me away. And then I’ve kinda been like ahh I’ll leave it to the professionals to make my boards. But maybe I’ll make a video with Vibe in the shaping bay and he can give a few pointers to aspiring shapers and curious surfers 🤙🏽
ily
I love you too 🥰
Fire wires are awesome for ppl transitioning to shorter boards. Btw if it’s small do you try long boarding?
Yeah I see lots of beginner/intermediates on firewires. Thanks for sharing that with us! I rarely do, but if it’s super small I’ll take out a mini mal. Would love to get a proper longboard someday though 🙌🏽
I also like small waves, surfing is supposed to be fun and relaxing, not stressful.
Very well said brother! That’s exactly how it should be 🙌🏽
Some people just love adrenaline and surfing is a way to get that
@@RandomPerson-ln6sg 100% agree with that!
Wait is the duke you mentioned ‘duke Kelleher’?? He says he is friends with you and is my surf coach.
He sure is! Duke is a legend and rips sooo hard, you’re lucky to have him as a coach 🙌🏽
What kind of board do you usually ride in smaller waves?
Hey bro, I go through that at 08:31 in the video. It’s just a standard performance board but a tad smaller in height, yet wider and thicker to add about 1-1.5L of volume and the rocker is slightly flatter so it goes faster 😄
hey i got the same fear with big waves because when i was about 10 i caught a wave about 9 feet and i just ate crap and i almost drowned and this life guard saved me
Yeah man it’s rough! Know you’re not the only one, there’s plenty of other people like us. And I’m glad you’re okay. The ocean is a beautiful but scary place 🙌🏽
wholesome content! appreciate that you don't reveal locations :)
Thank you so much bro! 🤝🏽
Will you do q&n again at 20k subscriber?
Maybe!! Or I’ll do something else to celebrate. Will decide when I’m closer 🤩
You should go surf at Jeffrey’s bay south africa
Oh yeahhh!! Would a be a dream come true 🙌🏽 one day for sure
thanks
🙏🏽 if you ever have a question! Let me know in the comments or DM me on the gram 🔥
Cool man. i have transitioned from surfing sloppy waves to extremely fast reef breaks. Do you have any ideas of how to get my legs less stiff? because i can do simple turns and i know all the body movements out of water but they never seem to click in the water. thanks
Thanks mate. Do you have a surf skate? If not, they’re a great investment for your surfing. Can definitely help loosen you up and get that flow. And just so I can understand a bit better, are you stuff throughout the whole ride or just when you’re doing turns?
@@SurfingWithNoz mainly throughout the whole ride and when I’m pumping. I don’t have a surf skate but I’m planning on getting one soon. I’m trying to use a normal skateboard but the reaction to my leg movements are incredibly slow because out of the water I have most movements. The only thing I am wondering about is do I have to lean my whole body into the bottom turn or, just do I have to put pressure on my toes and does it automatically make the board off Centre. Thanks mate
Have you surfed a Mona vale basin beach?
My favourite spot!!
Hey Noz do you do any gym training for surfing?
Hey mate, good question. No I don’t, but I am definitely interested in starting some form of training that will benefit my surfing
I don’t know we’re to surf in Sydney is turimetta a good spot
Hey, I’m sorry I don’t name or really talk about the the specific locations in the videos- I explain it all in the video. Thank you for understanding! 😊🤙🏽
PS: the sandbanks are constantly changing so some spots might be crap one week then pumping the next. Best to get a surf forecast app like Surfline and check the cameras 🤙🏽
do you wanna be a CT surfer?
In the clip when I was from 100%. But not anymore, if I was fearless and charged the goal would maybe still be alive but those guys are on another level! Like there’s 10 year olds doing bigger airs than me these days 😂
israei
🤙🏽
You aussie
Nvm you said it
Hahaha 🤝
I don’t get the ego with surfing big waves. They aren’t even fun. Doing a big carve on a big wave doesn’t feel fun. Big barrels look cool but if it’s not barreling big wave riding isn’t fun whatsoever IMO
Yeah I get what you mean! Then you watch JJF and he just makes it look so good 😍
Some people just love the rush, me not so much haha
@@SurfingWithNoz I got homies that charge big waves out here all they know how to do is make a bottom turn but literally don’t know how to do a simple cutback. Like they ego me when I like to go out and practice turns on small surf when they can’t even do a turn 😂
