Can You Surf Small Waves | Learn To Surf Small Waves | Three Things You Need To Surf Small Waves

Don't we all struggle to surf small waves? Small waves have very little energy and power, which means we end up lacking speed on the wave! Summer is a good time to practice 'small wave surfing'. A lot of people tend to skip the small days and wait for the good days. I think it is very important to surf on the small days as it gives you the opportunity to practice basic technique which will help with surfing on good waves. In this video I speak about the importance of a good small wave board is, how to find and generate speed on the wave as well as the importance of surfing in the pocket of the wave and how it has power and gives you speed to do turns.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the lesson. All those times when we headed down to the beach only to find that the waves are 'tiny' only to hear you say it's pumping. No wave is too small for you...even Orient.

Very true brother. No wave is too small! Orient…mmmm 🤔

Great explanation dude! Trying to get my first good snaps in and I mostly have small waves where I'm at.

[@shannonainsliesurf]

@@jonstnr Glad it was helpful. Good luck and keep on trying those snaps!

Flatter, shorter and wider boards are much better for small waves. They generate speed super easyly.

[@shannonainsliesurf]

Yes that’s right 😊🙌

Nice tutorial! Cheers!

[@shannonainsliesurf]

Thanks 😊

[@ArcticNorthAdventures]

looks so easy but difficult to do in the water somehow even if I watch it 1000 times 😂

[@shannonainsliesurf]

Yes it is difficult..but if you keep practicing, especially having 1-3 simple goals to focus on, it helps with progression😊

This small wave is way bigger than my local breaks 😦

[@shannonainsliesurf]

Oh really? How small does it get there?

[@ya-luteng5556]

@@ya-luteng5556 great. Me too!

It's easier to do couple turns on a 2-3 foot wave. But it's taking effort to do the same on a 1 foot wave. For sure, especially you are more than 180lbs.😂😂😂.

@@aaronvu6292 Yes that is true. A heavier person on a smaller wave will struggle to ride the wave. But a good surfboard with the right shape and amount of volume will help heaps!
