URBNSURF Advance Setting| Helpful Tips and Hints

Hi, I am an early intermediate surfer who attempted the advanced session at URBNSURF trying to get my first Barrel. I was extremely nervous going into the session so I wanted to make this video so you won't be nervous like I was. I have some helpful tips and hints in this video that will make your first session much easier than mine.
Hope you enjoy and if you have any questions be sure to comment below and I will reply to everyone.

Awesome vid mate - please keep it up!
How often do you go urbnsurf? Do you surf other beaches around Melbourne?

[@shoeyssurfing]

Hey thanks for the kind words!
I go roughly once every 3-4 weeks, generally when the surf is bad in vic. I surf anywhere as I’m an hour or two from any beach so I just go to quieter places that are working. What about yourself?

So you can hit the bottom easily?

[@shoeyssurfing]

Yes definitely hence the strong recommendation of using a helmet

[@user-kc5ko4wm3m]

You have zero speed control,
To best surf any wave you need to be able to go faster (pump).And to be able to go slower (stall)
You should be pumping at the start to get to flat and then as it throws the lip stall into the barrel.
Also that board is too big and flat for a steep wave like that. Get a short board or a gun with a big rocker on it.

I guess not all Aussies can surf😅

[@shoeyssurfing]

Is that cause you can’t surf?
