after taking two lessons I would say this is one of the most helpful videos I have watched on surfing. It's so information dense, it needs several re-watch
This was the most helpful surfing video on youtube for beginners in my experience.
Thanks a lot!
best instruction ever for beginner like me
This is awesome! Very well explained and demonstrated.
Thankyou very much Lila
This is great! I did two lessons but learned much more from this. Here they teach all the essential tips specially how to paddle and stop, nose-tail position and common mistakes and how to correct them, which is superb!
Thanks very much, I tried to fit all the basics into as short of a format as possible. I hope it helps.
Thank you for this video! I've been looking all over youtube and this was by far the easiest to understand and most detailed. I feel super confident going into a week of surfing!
Very nice video, thank you for sharing! :)
Kite season is over at my spot so this video is right on time while I'm learning how to surf. Thanks for your amazing videos. I've gotten so many tips about kiting over the years from your channel. It's great to see you adding surfing tutorials too.

Do you have plans for Wing Surf/SUP/Foil videos?
Hi, yes lots of kite foil and wing foil tutorials on the way. Eventually I'll cover more and more topics, I just need more hours in the day :-)
Hello Alex, are there more surfing tutorials on this channel if I become a member? Thanks! This is by far the most informative beginner surfing videos I have seen!
Hello Yue, this is the only prone surf tutorial at the moment.

I thought you will speak about waves kitesurfing🤓! I didn’t pay enough attention of your title. 🥴 But I was very interested by your topic which is very explicit with great explanation drawings, as usual 😊. I am just thinking how to practice this 😎 with my very short strapless kitesurf board on the small lake nearby home without any tiny waves unless when wind blows upper 35kts 😜
Thanks Nicolas, I will also make some videos about wave kitesurfing too.
Great location! Muizenberg, Cape Town...
It's a good learning spot. Also forces you to build your paddle fitness on bigger days.
@@kitesurfcollege It certainly is a good learning spot. Ticks all the right boxes... Not too far away: Noordhoek and Blouberg (Big Bay!). And yes - 'paddle fitness' will be built for sure when you see a great white the first time! They are usually after seals pups on the nearby island (National Geographic published fantastic footage) - but try explaining that to an inquisitive shark!
How do i become a member to access the other videos?

15:25 is poo stance. It’s very bad unstable position on your board. You need change angle of your foot. Turn your back foot little bit forward from 0 till 10 degree. Now is -10...-15. Its very unstable position.
Foot angle is not about stability in the way you suggest. If anyone is interested, stability is about center of mass over center of buoyancy when riding white water in a straight line, which is why we focus on stringer foot placement - after that beginners should think about nose-tail weight to control speed and look where they're going.
Boards in your video are too small for easy and effective learning on small white water waves. I recommend use big volume softboards. Use this formula: Volume of board in liters = your weight in kg * 1.2
1.2 sounds about right. The board was 68.8l and the surfer 55kg. Which is slightly more than you suggest. You probably got confused because she's very tall but not heavy. Also, board choice will be covered in a separate video, and most people surfing white water are taking lessons or renting a board anyway.
