How To Duck Dive Like A Pro In TWO MINUTES
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- Here is how to duck dive like a pro in about two minutes so you can spend more time surfing and catching waves!
One way to duck dive is by using your knee as a driving force to push the board below the surface. This is okay and effective, however if the waves get bigger or the white water becomes a little intense, there is a more effective way.... let's talk about it!

Thanks for tuning in guys!! *** I’ll do a more detailed tutorial on duck diving using any follow up questions posted here! ***
Great vid Kale - cheers! Love your videos. Is there a minimum volume to your board before duckdiving becomes possible?
I'm 70kg, 5"7 / 169cm, and just dropped from my 7"2 mal to a 6"7 hybrid board with about 40L of volume. Finding it pretty hard to push it under and keep it underwater long enough!
Ditto for me, same question thanks. Also I am petite so am thinking that makes a difference in what I can duck dive too. Aloha and mahalo
Hi Kale love your vlogs. I was wondering if you could give me some advise on a board for my son he is transitioning from a soft board to hard board and as you suggest we are looking for a fish however we are not sure on the size we should get. He is 50kg however I would like to get him a board that he can use for a while as he is growing pretty fast. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work we look forward to your next vlog.
lOVE THE VLOGS BROCCOLI! I am struggling a lot with my duck dives. I actually had some surfers today yell at me to surf further down the line if I can not duck dive properly :/ my issue is that I can get the noes down; however, I am struggling with getting the tail end of the board under. I ride a 6ft fish so it is short enough to duck dive, but i cant seem to get the tail under. What I have been doing is using my shin to help balance the board as I push the noes down, and then I try to get my foot up to push it down; however I am still getting pushed back by all the white water. Could you please give some more in depth tips about making sure you get the tail end down? Maybe I should try filming my self in a pool to see what I am doing wrong. Anyways, Thanks so much for the help! I love watching your videos to help improve my surfing skills so I look less like a kook on the beach!
That's a proper duckdive, never did one. Surfing for like more than 15 years and now started to surf smaller boards, still tigerrolling them. Is there a good way to practice that with fatter 6'8-7ft retro boards?
my 8 foot board is like "sorry chief, youre just gonna eat this one"
😂
Most relatable comment!!
I was excited...then I read this comment🤣😂
REAL talk
LOL
I can't believe I've been surfing for over 35 years and have never thought of doing a frog kick in the midst of a duck dive! Awesome.
The moment I do a frog kick in a duck dive, would be the moment I loose both my solids
I do a frog kick followed by a Superman if the waves require it...
Lol, me too! never thought of doing a frog kick..
Dolphin kick on big waves works well also
do the duck face as well that makes you go faster trust me man iam a thousand years old
You seem like an awesome guy who genuinely loves helping people learn to surf. The world needs more people like you. 🤙🏽
I’m mostly faking it I’m a terrible person
Well you do it well lol
I’m a terrific actor
Instructions unclear, now I'm a duck
😂
Awesome tutorial been surfing for 38 years and never seen a simpler explaination 👍
You can also pull your self down onto the board when it’s at its deepest to get your body deeper. The large surface area of the board will pull you down also angling the nose of the board down as you push on the tail will drive the board deeper. Awesome visual though Kale.
Simple & clear! There is no point on making a 20 minutes video about this just to impress. Less is more and this guy prove the case. Thanks
Me (rides longboard):
Maybe it'll work
Nope, that will not get a log under a wave....
It’s possible, just requires a different technique. I duck dive my log. ruclips.net/video/sy8V66n0UVE/видео.html
Just turtle roll
Hey there. I am a 14 year old from WA and I have been watching your vids for about 2 years now and i have improved in surfing so much from you!!!! THANK YOU
Well, I had been doing it mostly right. I never slid my hands up or frog kicked. Your video is going to help a lot of beginning surfers and some old ones like me.
quarantine me : can't wait to try this in 2021
🤣
I love your sea monkey live streams
Jaajajjajaj, me too
Uhhhh .. you can still go surfing in quarantine lol
@@jikthehick12 at the time I wrote this I couldn't where I live :)
100% what I do. I remember a young Ross Williams explaining that this was his preferred method back in the day and I have adopted it ever since.
Best duck dive tutorial ever, short and sweet! I was always wondering about this move and how is executed. Thanks 🙏
I’m an intermediate to advanced surfer (can do reverses and airs on a good day) and after nearly 20yrs, I finally understand this is why I shy away from bigger waves and get tired quickly in bigger surf, I keep getting knocked around when duckdiving and it takes double the energy to paddle back into the lineup.
Damn I wish I could do airs :( I've been surfing for since I was 13, it's been 5 years and I can still only do some shitty cutbacks 😢
I bought a Paddillac , sit a bit further out , don’t get caught inside , paddle faster , catch the bigger sets
I really love your tutorials. The editing with the lines that point directly and stuff. A1 man. Love your videos
Thanks!
Whoa! I never thought of moving up to the nose like that. Thanks, Kale!! This will increase my cool points while helping the paddle.
Haha gonna practice this in my pool until i can get out there and surf! I was using my knee’s and sometimes i felt as if i couldn’t go deep enough to get past the wave, but that totally changes it! Keep making awesome vids like this one 🤙🏼
That last step of "sliding your hands up to the nose of the board" works like magic! All these years I've been doing it wrong. Thanks for this great tutorial video!
Started surfing again about three years ago so got myself a mini mal (crazy how much extra weight you carry in your 30's compared to 20's 😂) and somehow found that using the foot to duckdive on a board with so much volume was way easier to control than the knee. When I upgraded back to a shortboard the foot technique stuck, and it's unbelievable how much more momentum you carry through the back of the waves, and noticeably speeds up your paddling time to get to the backline. Dig the channel and content, always good to recall and remember the essentials. Happy sub from Cape Town, ZA. Yeew!
Yeah mike!!! Love it 🤙🏽
trop beau le beach break tubulaire à la fin! So awsome , the hollow sand bar at the end!!
Oh dude this is so helpful!! Thanks so much! Can't wait to try!
Oh my god. I've seen other tutorials and none of them are this good. You helped my so much, thank you!
I'm a beginner here so THANKS mate! you're being my textbook! love from Spain!
thanks ive been trying to learn and im going to the beach soon and im so exited.
Still working on my form on my 6 10" egg. Thanks Kale!
Thanks for making a video like this it really help keep up the good vids!
i've been surfing so long years and didn't know about this amazing hack. tks, mate!
After surfing for 60 years I just bail out and wait for a calm between the sets to paddle back out.
this was very helpful and im going surfiing tmr ill be sure to try this out !!
Thank you, I learned something. I would duck dive pushing with my arms, knee and then foot if I needed to go beeper. But I did not slide my hands to the front and kick with my legs. I got to try that. Thanks.
Thanks i had trouble with duck diven and it helped me so much
really just new to surfing with a 6"7 minimal... i am going to try this and see how i go!
thanks for the vids - learning heaps but still very unlearned. I usually try to find my own spot to avoid bumping into others and learn slowly until i can join the line up.
This is awesome, thanks Kale! 🤙🏾
Tried that frog kick on my 45litres board - works like a charm. I also push the board forward underwater while kicking
Great video. Saved to my son's surf video playlist. Wanted to add that the only thing pushing the board down is your weight that is out of the water so kick the back foot as high as you can out of the water and it will push you down farther. Cheers.
Very concise and to the point! Subscribed!
I had bad times not knowing this tricks, thank you so much bro
yay now I can get passed the large waves and into the line up. Thanks
Adding to your great tips, to duck dive deep, it helps me think that I am diving with the board to reach the bottom of the sea and not simply to "sink". Second, when I was learning, I was diving under the front of the white water but the wave is a couple of feet behind so the "dive" should be under "2 things" passing by. Last, and mainly with hybrids with lots of volume, moving my hands a bit towards the nose makes it easier to push the board in the water ...with a risk however to nose dive too much, shoot back the board and look ridiculous :P
(pushing one rail in the water first is also helpful at times)
Thank you so much ! It is super interesting for me in France ….and so magic water !
Thanks Kale I’ve been needing that help 🤙
Sick!
Cool!
It works!!!
I am so grateful for all your videos. Thank you Kale !!
You are so welcome!
Love the videos brock ,
Gold! Thank you Sir
Gorgeous and good demo.
Subscribed. Can't wait to perfect this
I definitely need to test this out
Thank you for these videos mate
Thanks for the lesson that's when you need the strength in your arms and the neck, you look at some of the best surfers in the world they all have the arms and neck muscles and not a lot in the chest
Thanks a lot for this video. I used to get washed back so much trying to get to the lineup it would be burned out you would have to rest before I can even catch a wave. Thanks for your great editing and visuals and footage which makes it easy to understand everything you're talking about. Hands down, hands down, hands down, this channel in the hotter it channel is the best tutorial and instructional videos on surfing on the internet.
Thanks legend!!!
Agree !!!
That is awesome!!!
Great video.
Kale thank you buddy.
Hug from Brasil.
Sweet. You got a good channel. Keep it going.
Thank ❤ and nice moves it look good will work on it👍🏻
great camera work
Great video!!! I am learning how to surf and your videos have really helped me. Do you have any tips for paddling out on a long board when the wind is strong and the waves are pounding?
Short and sweet, nice one as always! I'll be sure to need this on the ravenous waves that are the Adelaide metro reefs.
🤣🤣 so intense!!
Thanks mate!
game changer!
Solid tip!
All well an good for lil wafer boards like his twiny. I usually paddle through wave chop like that. I enjoy the shoulder, back engagement.
Ever since I got a shortboard, and been able to duckdive. Has made getting out back way easier. I learned observing other people do it but looks like theres a few things I can improve on. I'll try it next session! Thanks for all the free tips homie 🤙 mahalo from maui
Epic - Shakkas bru 🤙🏽
thx for the tips!
Hey Kale! Your surfing videos have been helping me with my surfing for about 2 months since i first started. This is exactly what i needed! My last two sessions i’ve learned to “sorta” duck dive my 8ft mini mal , however i struggled with rising to the surface after diving the wave and this video answers my problem perfectly! Cheers mate - Auckland , New Zealand.
Awesome!! Thanks for the feedback man! Hope you keep surfing in NZ!
Are you still surfing mate? How's it going? I'm just starting in Auckland as well!
Much appreciated!
Heck yeah love brodie! Difference between twin fin, tri-fin, quar, five. Control, pros and cons of the different set ups, best for wave size, why change from three fins, what’s the size do to, ect. Love the vids homie keep up the good work
100% I gotta do a video on fins. I need an expert to interview tho
@@KalesBroccoli cant wait. Always wonder if it does matter all the diffrences between each sets of fins
Nice. Subscribed.
Way better instruction than what Rick Kane received when he first paddled out in Hawaii !
Such an effective duck dive
that frog kick thing is smart !
Nice tutorial! I'm curious what you do in head-high+ surf as I can't imagine sliding my hands up when the wave is trying to rip the board away. I'll try to frog kick next time I'm out though for sure! Thanks
thank you
Now duck dive techuppo...
Kidding haha... love your channel man !!!
🤣🙌🏽
YEEWWWWW. No more looking like a kook out there doing a 3 in dive lol
hi Cole
Just got my first short board watching this! Hopefully this will help me be a better non kook!
@Lxcid practice in a pool. Be stable before you push under with your knee and push your tail down then a little forward
@Lxcid no problem. Just keep practice you’ll get it
What’s a kook?
Thanks
thats a beautiful beach
Always 2nd guessing a simple move - thanks!
cool stuff.
Not even a surfer but this tutorial is fantastic!
ive been trying to learn to duck dive for ages and i am sure this would help
Awesome! Makes a big difference
@@KalesBroccoli it really does thanks you so much
Boa aula, aqui no Brasil fazemos igual👍👏👏👏🇧🇷
My duck dives are actually pretty effective even though I use my knee but I’m gonna start using my foot now because I got huge pressure dings from my knee
Very good and simple explanation! Which beach is that and where is it?
Nice and effective ;)
Apparently, I have been duck diving like a pro and I didn't even know it. Now if my surfing was like a pro's then I'd be even more stoked!
Hey mate, love your channel 🙌
Will this technique work with my 6’8 - 38 liter board?
Cheers 😀
Twinny with keels... Love it!
Fark good spotting!!
Just looked over at my girl and said "I love this guy" he has taught me so much about surfing. Time to hed out! Thanks kales!
😂🎉
Nice tips !Perfect small waves, where is that beach?
RUclips ya kick ass
Graxias
Key for my duckdives is to climb up to the nose, like you did, as you rise to surface. Same thing when I cork over waves on my log. Climb up to nose and then slide back after you go under or over(corking on a log) wave.
Hi. Love your videos. What are the specs of your board and brand?
Hi Kale, I very appreciate your videos. Where this one has been filmed? It s such a lovely place to surf!! Nous avons des jolies plages en France, mais cet endroit me fait vraiment envie. A quick french part to remind you trip in France (Biarritz) where people speak as fast as english people do, when you're a french guy ;) .
Hey mate any chance on a vid talking about moving/re-positioning of the back foot for turns? I feel there’s so much talk on everything else but this. Cheers for all your tips, love them, dbah was really fun today....
Hey Casey! Forget about the feet - focus on the eyes and shoulders
Never thought of the frog kick, nice
🙌🏽
Hey mate! Great vid!
I transioned to a short board a few months ago and can stand pretty good and make small turns, wanted to ask you what are the main things to pay attention to so I can improve those turns and get more edge and power to them so i could execute some maneuvers?
Thanks anyway bro you are helping a lot of us no doubt!
