- How to surf through the beginner stage to the intermediate stage of surfing is a stage that millions of people find themselves at. The transition from beginner surfer to intermediate, and then on to advanced, is not a process often talked about or analysed.
In this video I take you step by step from a beginner surfer through to an intermediate surfer.
Surfing is one of the most alluring sports in the world. You get to immerse yourself in one of the most beautiful environments possible; the ocean. Let's get you shredding out there!

Surfing saved my life. I was always depressed as a person unless I had competitive things like footy and skating. That got harder as I got older, I'm 38 now and started surfing 3 months ago, been in water everyday and am progressing very quickly.. did an air today :)
Keep surfing man. Never leave it!
Well done you 😀 keep surfing
A landed AIR after 3 months?!
I've skated for almost 30 years for the same reason...unfortunately I don't live anywhere near the ocean else I'd surf, too. Just watching it relaxes me, I can only imagine how great it would feel catching a wave.
That's an amazing story cause you're clearly progressing fast, but I suffer from a similar thing, and surfing is just masking it for now.. I'd suggest trying therapy or something to help relieve the recurring depression. Wishing you all the best.
Another tip: It’s your shadow, not a shark 🍻🤙😂
Easy to see how much effort you're putting into production. Keep it up.
Thanks Barry!!
Love your channel btw kale :)
Kales Broccoli
Yeah
Youuu

I’ve just moved to Dunbar in Scotland and taken up surfing again aged 57 after a 35 year break! Wooooo hooooo. I’m rubbish but determined!
i’m 21 and learning for the first time. we in this together!!
I've been surfing for coming up on 30 years, my daughter started surfing last year, this is the first summer she's been surfing 100% on her own (no boosting into waves, paddling herself out etc.) She's now working on progressing her skills and watching these videos with her is a HUGE help (sassy pre-teens don't always want to listen to Dad) Great job with your content! Thank you!
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Good job dad and daughter..
😊yy😮😮😮😮🎉😮🎉
I live a few houses from the beach in NJ. I love the ocean love the beach. I’ve been so terribly depressed and have found it hard to find joy in much these days. I haven’t been on a surf board in over 10 years. I just went and bought a new board. I’m excited and nervous but it’s great to feel something other than blank. Im looking forward to this new hobby and chapter.
I'm 41 and I will surf for the first time this summer. Always wanted to, finally gonna do it!
How’d it go?
Did you end up surfing? I did when I was 12-14 and then stopped because we moved away from the beach. I’m 23 now and I’m going again soon for the first time in roughly 9 years
Hope it went well Richard.. I'm 50,first surfed aged 8 did til was 20 odd and back doing it again.. Never too old to surf man. Hope you had a blast!
@@leehorrocks5253 Did you pick up where you left off in terms of skill? is it one of those things like swimming/biking? u learn it once and you'll never forget.
Hi Jason, yeah apart from the old muscles needing some exercise, it was pretty much like riding a bike, bit of a few wobbles to start but quickly remembered... I practiced pop ups like mad beforehand too.. But yeah its literally like riding a bike or having a go on a skateboard after a few years
hi! I’m 14 and spanish, I have been surfing just since I am 12 but I feel like it’s all I want to do , its a feeling nothing else can replace. I really hope i get better though the years and can make my own surf school so I can share my passion and show people that surfing is so much more than a sport. ❤️
Yo también soy española!!
ruclips.net/video/NzEbKBcpa_M/видео.html
That's awesome...you absolutely can and all your friends will envy you when they are working at jobs they hate..trust me I've been there
Any success in the quest yet? I'll likely be traveling to Spain many times in the coming months and years for work and could apways enjoy an additional purpose to my quest to also fit in fun excursions like surfing with a good soul.
_SURF CAMPS HATE HIM!_
actually such a high quality video. Plenty good stuff for advanced surfers too🤙 good form and style too! Those aerial shots are so good!!
Thanks bro!
ruclips.net/video/NzEbKBcpa_M/видео.html
Another tip.
When paddling into a wave, along with looking down the line, make sure you are also looking behind you as to make sure you don't cut someone off.
I love how you step down from the perspective of an advanced surfer to that of a beginner to help us who are just starting out and have so many questions. Thank you!!!
Just started surfing about a week ago and watching your videos has helped me catch not only my first waves, but my first unbroken ones too! love the videos and the vibe! thanks!
🤙🏽
As someone who just moved coastal and is learning to surf (at 29 years old) for the first time, this is soooo helpful haha! The paddling strength...yeah that's put me in my place but I'm getting up near to that 85% of the time on a pretty small board (borrowed) so I think it's time to buy a board thats actually suitable for my level and keep nailing the basics! Thanks for this bud!
Hows your improvements ?your like a pro now?
Good idea! I surfed a Wavestorm for a year before I touched a short board.. I surprised myself when I made the transition. Nail the basics!
ruclips.net/video/NzEbKBcpa_M/видео.html
For beginner I recommend long board short Board is harder lol
How's it going buddy 2 years later? I'm 28 and about to start learning
I've been surfing my whole life and I am 13 so I would say I am an intermediate surfer . This video was an awesome refresher and helped me look at some concepts in a different way. It was also filmed and put together very well. Great job!
Awesome! Thanks Coleman!!
keep it up and you’ll be semi-pro at 23!
@@marcelhurtado5766 if he surfs everyday and is serious he will be semi pro before that :D
Some of your tips have taken my surfing to another level. Im no pro by ANY means but i can bottom turn,top turn, pump for speed, clear sections that i couldnt before. So thank you Kales.
Been busting chop surfing almost everyday here on the island of Siargao in the Philippines! Really trying to improve and these tips were fantastic. Cheers mate 🤙🏽

'Speed pumped' her this morning.. Best surfing channel on FU tube. No big ego, no shitty try hard soundtrack, just quality all round. Thank you!
Thank you!

Just what the doctor ordered and thank you so much for being such an awesome dude putting together all this free content for us to enjoy and learn from.
Thanks Kyle!! 🙌🏽🤙🏽🏄🏼♂️
Hello, kale I’m a beginner surfer from Taiwan! I want to let you know that you are doing an amazing job to guide me through my surfing life. Thank you ❤️
Does anyone else already know all this stuff but still watches
yeee boi
I come from a skateboarding background, but I’ve never been on a surfboard
Yepp
yup
No
Thanks man for doing all your videos. I don’t get to surf much. Paddling strength and fitness are my biggest failing. Your landlocked tips and workouts are helping me work towards better fitness to when I finally go surfing again.
Surfed for the first time this summer (at the age of 50) and absolutely love it. Unfortunately l live far from the ocean but these videos keep me connected and excited to go again, when I can. Thank you for sharing and for teaching Kale, much appreciated
I recently started surfing during quarantine. This video helped so much.
Irene López me too! Awesome! Isn’t it amazing & the freedom from the rest of the World
I’ve been trying to understand these things for the past ten years. This is one of the best teaching videos about any subject I have seen. I am going to use what you taught me to be a better surfer, and a better trainer at work.
Awesome thanks so much mark!!! Cheers
First of all: Your How To's on how to rip and on your channel are awesome. Keep the good work up!
What I'd love to see is more content for landlocked surfers! There are so many of us and every one of us is trying hard to get prepared for the next surf trip. All with the goal to be able to enjoy our short time in the waves to the fullest.
But there is not so much content on all those surf-channels that can help us... What are good exercises we can do with our surf skate? How can we exercise certain maneuvers on it? How can we simulate certain sections of a wave? What are good strength and flexibility exercises? Would be great to see some more of this stuff =)
100% I have this coming

Hey, fellow Midwesterner in the same boat, but at least have the fall waves of Lake Michigan. In my down time, push ups are key. I also "swim" with 10lb rubber exercise band 3x a week. With my hands in each handle and my foot on the middle part of the band, swim by bringing your hands arms up high over head like swimming. Immensely helpful in bringing power and endurance in the paddle!
Thank you so very much!
I've surfed for almost 50 years now and when ever I'm asked "could you teach me to surf" I would say something like , I can tell you what not to do and what to do when when were in the water but there's no short cutting experience... Try fail or rip and repeat repeat repeat. It has always been difficult to explain in words.
Now I have twin boys and they want to surf with me but get frustrated with my lack of teaching credentials in the line up. The way you explain these basic skills is nothing short of brilliance. Toshay mate.
Thank you so much. 🙌🏽
It's always so weird seeing your home town in a video
so jealous omfg😊
I was freaking out when I saw him walk to uppers
Where is that? Looks lovely
Pretty sure it’s San Diego county upper trestles
@@Logan.Drummond Ya I think so, but the beach hes at around 10:39 is T Street
Just discovered your channel as a new surfer at 40! Absolutely loving your content, so helpful and very detailed with great tips for anyone no matter their ability. Plus your content is super well done, great production. Always snowboarded since I was 10yrs and skateboarded since 8yrs. Now I live in Cornwall and only after 9hrs of surfing I'm totally hooked. Hopefully off to pick up a mini mal on the weekend. Can't get enough of it :) Will be checking out more of your content, keep it coming!
Love that!! Hey I’m coming to the UK by the way! kalebrock.com.au/surf
It’s official! You guys are the best surf coach I’ve never had. I just wanna say, thank you so much for your tutorial vids. Since I’ve had the chance to watch your channel my surfing has improved immensely. Surfing has been the catalyst of my lifestyle, my drug my place of religion. I’m pretty much at the beach every weekend. Although I still consider myself a kook 😁. I have most fun out in the water than in the pub. Thank you guys and may the water god smile upon you 24/7 🤙🤙🤙
No worries brother! Cheers Ricky keep it up 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Great advice, I especially liked you informing beginners that it’s actually easier to stand up on an unbroken wave, but a broken wave takes less skill. I’ve seen many beginners give up because they think that if they can’t stand up on a little white water wave, then how are they going to cope with a 3 footer 🌊. 👍
very useful stretching exercises, they are good whatever level we are
Love it! Your videos helped get me from Grom to intermediate to teaching other people over the last few years. Some times its amazing to sit on the beach after a session watching and be like 'I did it, I can hit all of this.' Thank you!
Awesome!!!
Great video I really enjoy watching surfing but with my back and the fact that I just turned 68 owe and my swimming almost non existent I'll just live vicariously through guys like you
I am 57 and now wanting to learn how to surf for the first time ( mid-life crisis you could say😂). Watching your video gave me some sort confident and felt motivated. Fiji is the destination.
That extend the back leg cue, game changer!
I am watching these videos throughout my progression - it's almost like having a personal surf coach. Many thanks for all this good content !
Awesome! So glad it’s helping
I have always rollerbladed and I think it helped me with surfing even more than skateboarding...the sharps turns, the fact that you will fall just standing there if you don't have good balance and the understanding of how different surfaces relates to different surfing conditions...it relates so much
Hey Kale, Thanks for these well-edited step by step breakdown, they really help.
The visual and your words come together really well, you're a great teacher.
thanks Peppi!! 🙌🏽❤️
You my son, are going to be the one who gets me from standing to turning and popping up far better. Great vids. Cheers
LOVE this video! I've been trying to move from beginner to intermediate for years, and I feel that for the first time I understand what I need to focus on and how I can approach it. Thank you!
Today I started to learn turns at my surfing lesson and I just came across this video, thank you so much it's really useful!
I'm 16 and I can only surf for about a week every summer because I live far from the coast. In the future I want to live closer, I love the sea and my dream is to be able to surf at any time I want
I’m watching this 5 hours from the sea dreaming about getting back out there in 2021 at some point. Spent a week surfing when lockdown ended and was at the 85% catching waves phase.
Back at this video again. Trip is booked for July 2021. Let’s goooo
Got a surfboard today. Gunna try and practice as much as possible. Be back in 12 months with an update.
@Michael Barnett Bro. It's fucking hard! The second thing is actually getting good practice, due to needing to wait for good waves. Very hard sport, huge admiration for anyone who does it well.
ruclips.net/video/NzEbKBcpa_M/видео.html
Update?
@@Abcccdwe Stopped consistently going out tbh. Like I said above man, so hard to consistently get good waves to learn on. Even then you can't get on em because all the good riders jump infront.
@@jakeismyfirstname dam bro, maybe come to bali bro. Here in bali waves are great
I've been surfing for nearly 30 and I learn so from your videos. Keep em coming.
Kale, your vids are epic!! Any more you can do for beginner-to-intermediate transition are super welcome!! How to not freak out on take off as the board tilts down/goes up the wave face from behind and improve pop-up from a 3 step (frog leg) to a slide or jump up are a few things I'd love to work on... Grateful for your tips and positive vibes!
Perfect going surfing for the first time in a couple of years next week cant wait!
Would love to see a series of someone you are teaching from beginner to intermediate and so on! I think it would help a lot of people to see someone in their situation! Love the vids they are great!!
They’re coming!
Buying my first surfboard tomorrow after a year or so of bodyboarding and can’t wait to be on top of the wave
Just bought my first board 🤙🏻 can’t wait to get out there
I’ve been surfing for almost 50 yrs (since 12 yrs old ) and thought I’ll watch this to see how lame it is ,actually this is a great video.You have explained the basic how-to’s in a articulate easy to understand fashion,nice job 👍
Thanks John!
@@KalesBroccoli yeah, the moment you mentioned that the most important thing is where you look, I knew you knew what you were talking about. I sometimes forget and look down and inevitably go down.
I'm also teaching a friend and I've been trying to drive this one specific lesson into his head.
i’m 11 and i’m starting lol i am a big kook lol
I am a snowboarder and skateboarder, I just started surfing i hope, this video helps me out i really want to get good at surfing.
There is no greater feeling!! Thank you so much for your videos. i've taken up surfing during the most difficult time in my personal life later in life...it's the only thing I've tried that makes me feel myself and happy again for the hours after. I was lucky to grow up swimming and body surfing in WA, so I had a lot of wave knowledge built in (which I didn't know)...where I currently live in NZ is learners paradise. using your videos and doing lots of surf skating and surfing I have gone from a learner in the white water to being out the back and doing my first cut backs on the face of a wave in 6 months.....Thanks heaps.
Hey San Clemente!!! Saw t street and the lost surf shop! Sweet!
Thank you Kale. I've lived in Florida most of my life and never surfed. Now it's time mate. Cheers from the States...
Your example of the skateboard has given me so much confidence to progress my surfing as I know I can already do the skating part and just need to transfer the skill to the water. Thanks
By far the most beautiful surfing lesson video I've seen
Loving your creativity coming through on your latest productions mate. You're killing it. Keep it up .
Thank you Steve!! 🙌🏽🏄🏼♂️
Sadly i am living in a country with no ocean. I have never tried surfing but I know now I will definetly do it one time. 😍😍
The filming and explanations is great. Really enjoyed this video. While quarantine I am surfing in my dreams
I just started surfing yesterday on a pro board and actually caught a few waves and it wasn’t the white water it was the face of the wave!
No way you liked my comment
I love that beach.
This was great, thank you. I've just started surfer and as a beginner, I don't have much confidence. I find that's my biggest problem. I know everything I'm doing wrong.
Ive been surfing everyday for the last year and this information is still hugely useful. As SWS has returned to SoCal one thing I have struggled with was turning down the line but the "looking down the line" tip was great I can't wait to try it.
Update I tried it and it worked extremely well. Thanks kales broccoli
I’ve been surfing for about two decades and your videos are still super cool to me. Your camera angles and cinematography are pretty nice. I’m a lifetime intermediate surfer. Lol. But this kind info helps whenever my friends want to learn.
Awesome!
I love t street for boogie boarding. Haven't ever surfed before just learning frome ur videos, thank u.
Been surfing since 12 and im 18 now, you give a really good insight so cheers.
Really clear and nice touch of explaining how the waves are formed! So much thanks!
Would you make videos talking more about how to read waves for new beginners?
omg thank you so much im 13 and have been surfing since i was 10. this was the most helpful video i have seen! im subscribing
Thanks grommet welcome !
Good on you for breaking the tradition of tribalism and egotism, and making a career out of helping people improve with enthusiasm.
I Learned how to surf when i was in the marines...we stopped off in Hawaii on our way back from Iraq back in '03 for 5 days...spent those 5 days trying to catch waves and on the last day i caught my first one...I miss it so much! Definitely a workout though.
Wanna have a go on a surf skate, but worried I’ll look like a complete dork waving my arms around like a lunatic 🤣. Loving the vids. Keep them coming
lmao just got one and I feel you
Great video and really helpful and clear guidance.
I'd love to see more surfer's POV shots when explaining wave positioning.
The problem with camera shots from the beach or go pro footage that's pointing at the surfer when he's on the wave is that it all looks so different and feels so alien when you're actually there yourself. Unless you've got someone filming you, it's harder to tell if you're in the right positions on the wave.

I’m working on some really unique POV angles - probably be releasing over the next couple months :)
@@KalesBroccoli What's POV means
T-Street, Trestles, Laguna Beach! Great locations!
🙌🏽🤙🏽
What you do is amazing and it always makes me smile watching you surf!
Fantastic info. As a windsurfer i'm trying to get (better) into wave sailing. I believe your video will help me a lot as well! Especially the footwork, vision and low hips help me understand now why it is probably a lot better to keep my boom at a lower position in wave sailing unlike other conditions and why it is important that the footstraps are further apart as to bump and jump conditions and do my physical exercises. Thanks a lot for making this video. As a follow up i will need a video in combination with a sail ;)
The beginning was like a nature show. Very helpful video thank you so much !
Just about to start surfing. So stoked
You really hit many of the points, the MUST SEE VIDEO for anybody wanting to transition from beginner to intermediate.
Thanks!!! 🙌🏽🤙🏽🏄🏼♂️
I agree. No better feeling!
I haven't surfed since I was 13 and I'm trying to relearn. I don't know if you've ever used a Rip-Stick but I'm hoping that along with longboarding will help me pick it up faster
I am a 21 year old. Skated my whole life. Caught my first white waves on a rented fomie today an im hooked
This guy don’t lie for real, I’m currently around same level as Kale (a bit less strong ngl) so there’s a story, a friend started surfing just after first lockdown before summer (may 2020) and I kinda initiated him into surfing. The Fist thing i told him was to go surfing every time he could. I gives to him few advice like for the stance ,trajectories etc. And more importantly, he never refuses a take off and always go surfing even if it was too big for him(always safe but for pushing him to his limit), rainy, cold... he was surfing 1m80 waves in august. Now (February 2021) he can do turns on a 2m wave. Never giving up is the key. And try to don’t be a kook and the water is also very important, don’t drop in, sneak, paddle outside when sbdy is on the wave. You gonna eat a lot of them but that’s the game !
Good guys, good teachers, thank you. I’m an intermediate surfer from way back, but never had lessons.
So thankful to have found your channel as I am just getting into the sport now
Thank you Kales! This video is amazing and so helpful!
No worries :)
Kale
Honestly, you make the most magical videos
Incredible video. This would have takes Yonks to film, and edit. Really worth it. THE best surf video. Where are you dude? Awesome beaches
Like the concept of the 'Surfer's Roadmap' explains my plan for improvement :) 👊
Learned my first steps on a 7,2 with high volume and pointy nose, got it stolen, bought a 7.8 bic board qnd hated it. changed to a 6,4 shortboard/fish and improved a lot. This summer, the 6th (real) surftrip, i tried the 7,8 and i finally found my live for it. Smaller shitty waves, no problem, you can even walk a little on it. I needed the 6,4 to learn my turns and lose the fear of dropping in steeper waves but now the 7,8 is so much fun 😍 Also tried a 5,10 with way less volume but my arms are too week and my timing sucks 😂😂 i'll always stay beginner but thats ok ☺️
i remember when i was a begginer and was looking for tips and found this, i remember i would just sink after getting up, and this vid helped me
Skating bare footed give me shivers
Amazing vid! As a beginner I find your videos 1000% more educational then the lessons I’ve taken
Cheers mate!!!! Tks for this awesome videos!!! I'm progressing a lot here in Brazil with your tutorials. Keep it up!
Thanks Cedrick! Frothing ! Keep shredding brother
T-Street is my home beach! Awesome choice of location😎
🤙🏽🙌🏽😁
Excellent video! Competed in my childhood and your details are still helpful!
Surfing, Hooraaay!!!
Wow, this was amazing! Even a little physical therapy warm up, very helpful!!!
Always pleased to see more content from you Kale, and this was knock-out! Thanks for the inspiration..
Thanks Joe!!! Love it cheers brother 🙌🏽🤙🏽
Heaven for surfers.
Amazing info! Thanks so much bro!
