How To Surf | Positioning To Catch & Surf More Waves EVERY TIME
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- In this video Kale teaches you how to position yourself in the ocean so that you can catch more waves in the surf.
Positioning is something very difficult to teach because, in reality, it requires hours of time in the water analysing waves and learning about their habits and patterns. That being said though, we think we’ve done a fine job of getting you started on this journey or speeding up your progress at the very least.
There are two major factors when it comes to analysing waves and positioning yourself accordingly in the surfing lineup. 1: the specific wave itself you want to catch AND 2: the spot you are surfing (the conditions on the day essentially).
This is the most detailed guide on positioning in the surf that you'll find on the internet and we're proud to be sharing it with you.
If you'd like to come and learn more from myself & Ryan personally, we encourage you to come to our surf retreat this year at Whale Beach in Sydney; Sydney's most uncrowded and pristine beach. You can learn more here kalebrock.com.au/howtorip/

i did NOT expect this cinematography when i clicked on a surfing tutorial
Really enjoyed putting together this tough edit guys! The surf got real sweet this day after I finished filming! Hope you enjoy :)
Bro! I really appreciated the effort you put in to it. Very well scripted, beautifully shot, cut, suiting music and too notch narrating pace. I'm a film maker myself and its things like this that makes a whole lot of difference. It sucks to watch someone trying to teach you on a windy beach with little or no attention to how they've been mixing and so on. Keep pushing quality, this will be on the tube forever so it's definitely worth it and will generate views and subs in the long run. 🙏
Yes it should help you improve :)
Kales Broccoli this is a super well thought out video - no assumptions made in the student and concise, clear explanations. I don’t think I’ve seen anything better. Cheers, mate.
@@KalesBroccoli Hi @Kales may I know the dimensions of your blue board and who's the shaper please?
@@stevo1dadang 5'7 by 20 by 2/14 I think. Frank Tachibana :)
I started surfing a few months ago and timing is the most frustrating thing for me but this video was so helpful and gave me more confidence! Please keep making more! Pura vida from Costa Rica!
Thanks for this. The GoPro water POV is really helpful. Next best thing to having someone actually out there with you pointing things out
Geeeeeze aqua man production set up
😬🎥🏄🏼♂️🧜🏽♂️
This video changed my surfing life! After watching it I found myself better able to spot waves and position myself. I started catching and riding so much more after this. Thank you so much!!!
Ive seen this video at least 3 times and I'm gonna keep watching it because this info is so important. I really have no words. Best vid ever. Helped me A LOT. Thanks 🌊 u always make such great vids. U rlly helped me a lot ( tons) of my surfing progress and I'm really thankfull❤️
Great video as usual guys, and I am finding positioning is everything, and especially on beach breaks reading the waves is something you just have to get the experience with. Thanks for the great tips!!🤙
I thought this was really helpful, I never knew what to look for when trying to figure out how to surf ... Thanks guys!!
Never surfed before but getting a chance next summer. This is the best wave reading video I've seen. Thanks!
thanks so much for your effort putting all these info and clips into one vid, you're one of the greatest surfing channel creator on YT!
That wipeout at 4:20...
We've all been there.
Hermanus Bernardus Swart yea for a longboard he caught it was to close to the peak unless u are super good
Hell yeah we have
Yup that's what I keep doing rn. Catch it either too close to the peak and nosedive or dont catch it steep enough and trail behind the wave
Thank you guys for being the best the best the best educational RUclips channel on the internet hands down no one comes even close to you guys. I re-watch all your videos five and ten times and I'm becoming a better Surfer every single second that I watched you guys videos so please please please keep bringing the fire and thank you very much and happy surfing all the way from Virginia Beach Virginia
Great edits, great shots, but most of all great explanations. Keep on with your channel mate, hope to see more of you!
I swear this is the best surf channel ever cuz I’m learning a lot as a beginner! Everything I just need ! Thank you and you deserved more subscribers!
I LOVE THIS..One of the best explanations out there!
this video changed my life. this is all the information I needed and was missing but didn't even know how to ask for, thanks for this!
Thanks Katie :)
Kale
So appreciate your teaching & time to put this together. As I’m identifying the ‘ Look’ phase I was stoked to view previous session on ‘ Catch, POP, look. Thnks from NZ
Really well put together, i have understood more from this than from any other surfer i have asked about wave selection and positioning thank you so much
Alex Yap that’s awesome :)
Love the edit ! You guys are killing it
It's a great idea to show the same waves and rides from multiple perspectives! It's so easy to stand on the shore and pick out good waves and take off points, a lot harder to do when you're in the water amongst the waves. I think you should also do this for other tutorials.
madmaxmedia thanks :) sometimes a bit tricky with camera set up
Tbh it's not THAT much of a different view when you're in the water.
i am enjoying your lessons and have improved with more understanding of the waves. thanks so much, very helpful.
Thanks, literally just started so very useful stuff.
Another video of you that I have enjoyed really much, like every time! Thank ya for this quality content!
omg what an instructional video thank you Kale! I need to show my mates this one
Excellent video training and tips! I’ve been surfing 20 years and there’s always something to learn. That break you were at doesn’t look too busy. Must be nice! Keep the video tips coming! Happy Barrels!
😁😁😁
this is getting good, keep going and you'll make it !!!!
Every beginner should watch this video. Really well explained and sweet camera angles!
Your awesome! I learn more of you in RUclips then a live instructor. Thank you
Appreciate your videos and all the explanation and thought behind them! Thanks!!
This is pure gold for every beginner. Just thank you!
Piervincenzo Parisi thank you!!
Haven’t surfed in a couple of year planning to pick it back up soon, thanks for all the help
Great vid. I miss lots of waves by being too far out on the shoulder where I miss the steep power spot on the wave. Very frustrating to watch a good wave break 10 meters beside you while you are trying to catch it.
this video was super helpful. sometimes i have trouble determining which direction the wave will break. can't wait to get out on the waves this weekend.
You guys are my first sub on RUclips!, I started surfing whitewash but no I can catch unbroken waves thanks to you!
Yew!
Bro this video was insane! Extremely informative and helpful. Cheers legend
Great quality video. Please keep them coming!
Such a killer video. Great job with this! Best one I’ve seen!
Thank you for all you do . It’s a life changing experience . So connected to the earth is a way I have never felt . It has brought back my lust for life .
Really great video! It really pulls together all the 'nuts and bolts' of getting to your feet. Trying to develop that awareness of what your environment is doing and responding to it. The part about 'mind-surfing' as your walking down the beach is bang on the money!
SailingSamurai 😁😁
The beginning sounds like a David Attenborough film 😂
Epic video man! Subscribed
Thank you. I was wondering how I would notice my first wave to catch as a beginner. At the end, you are right, the experiential element and intuition is a huge factor. Going with the flow and imagination. The more I see these videos, the more I feel it. Blessings😇
just send it
you guys are awesome! always been very helpful!
Great video man, well done.
This is exactly what I needed. Thanks guys! 🤙❤
Amy Macdonald 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I love this channel. Thanks!
I absolutely love this intro. So good
Great video and exactly my problem, positioning in the way.
Appreciate this tip from, a landlocked surfer.
You are awesome and a great teacher! :D
"Mind Surf." That's very Bruce Lee, well done.
Really helpful content Kales! I have the same view as you: good positioning is ALL about experience. Have to do with how you feel the sea beneath you, How the current pull you right before a big wave. Keep up the good Work, aloha from Brazil!
😁🤙🏽🏄🏼♂️
Thank you for all your amazing tips and tricks mate!!! Pura Vida from Costa Rica ;)
fantastic video, as usual. I'm learning so much from you guys. thanks from Sicily!
So cool!! Love Italy 🇮🇹 😁
Definitely with your channel I have improve my surf. Thanks from El Salvador.
Tito Huezo great news! ❤️ el tunco
I’ve needed this video for about 8 months
TheWaffleGuy haha sorry for the delay 😬😬
Point break is much better to catch waves but beach break can be harder.
Even if you sit in breaking point, waves might close out.
Local shaper who living in northern beaches catches waves much more than others including myself.
He sit in bit close to the beach and aiming to catch smaller waves which have more space to turn.
Besides he can manage board choices and building for types of waves.
Paddling techniques are definitely necessary I guess.
What an awesome sensory intro! My geek left brain tells me that waves are simply the resultant energy of wind induced dynamic fluid laminar surficial tension flow. Thanks so much for sharing your right brain imagination 🤙
I've been mind-surfing for 20 years landlocked in Ohio! That's so funny! What a great recommendation! 💯
You do a great job.
Absolutely love this channel. So much work and effort into each and every video. Keep doing your thing bro. Shoutout from NZ
Awesome! Can’t wait to come to NZ!
Wait when ?
How to Rip did you come? And did you surf at mount Maunganui if you have?
@@ashleemarie140 nah mate he west coastin' testaroastin' if he did
U did a great job of breaking it down its very difficult to explain all of the nuances of just reading the surf much less explaining taking off and riding the wave.
Great infos brooo 🙏🏻
Best video ever
Great video. Cheers
🤙Beginner surfer 🏄 in mid 40's on a longboard and loving it! Great tips
Roger 401 🤙🏽
This was a great one! Realized I was too passive in the water, today I committed to be more active and wave count went up!
livemoksha awesome 😎
Thanks bro! Saludos desde mexico!!
Another Awesome video... Thanks! 🏄🏽♂️🤙🏽
Andrew Mackenzie fanks 😁🤙🏽
Really helpful video! absolutely love this channel! Just a shout though if you spit on/put washing up liquid in your go pro lens it stops water droplets getting in your shot (only ever noticed it on this video so you probably already know)
Great vid watched it before going out today and it helped me so much cheers mate
Dream Catching epic 🤙🏽
I absolutely loves this video! We have great beaches and waves here in Mexico, unluckily it's quarantine season (covid-19) :( .
@remifld hahaha LOL :)
Best videos bro 🤙
Amazing production value and editing.
Really impressed, thanks for the info too
Ray yeah the boys
Hey @@KalesBroccoli
What do you mean the boys?!
I definitely surf better in mind surf...need to improve my actual surf. Great vid!
mind surf, enlightening
awesome explanation! great effort, thanks heaps mate!!!
RUBEN FAUS thank you :)
This video is amazing ,cheers from Argentina
😍😊
It’s nice to know I still can read the waves 👍🏽 great video. What about your shoulder hoppers - doesn’t that bother most surfers.
You guys are getting really good at making these videos. Great job and great info as always
Thank you 😊 I
Dallas Kolotylo Fanks mate 😁🎥🏄🏼♂️
11:33 That's why I surfing!!
Same place, different waves.. Beautiful! 🏄
😁😁
Tomás Stabilini me too 😁😁
You guys the other day completely helped me answer my own question. The 2 3/8 thick is more gunny than i should be using, i need more volume. Thanks chargers! Nice to see you guys making consistent videos again! Yeeew!
Phil Duclos awesome yep we’re back
some good advice from my experience (Beachbreaker). Thanks
Super useful. Thanks mate!
Oliver Cowan 😁
Great video!
I also pick landmarks on the beach/cliffs to help me stay in the best position consistently. Get in line with my landmark each time and I know I'm going to be pretty close to the best takeoff zone. I hope that helps.
Yep yep
Bruh! I was taken out surfing the other day and it was technically my first time.. 7 hours later. Had a blast. He said in the video 3 hours and he was pooped 😂 can u imagine my muscles, my arms were dead going to bed that night. Loved every moment of that day though. Full moon and the sunset on the opposite side that evening, gorgeous.
Oh and i find the pov go pro angle super helpful as i can imagine myself in those positions,and what to do next
Sean Cameron epic thanks
Sub’d! This is so helpful thank you!
Great Video! You guys should make a series on wave positioning
Hmmmmmmm
Just subscribed! Great channel, do you have a video on catching waves as a beginner on beach breaks? (I feel safest with a sandy bottom, so am often at El Porto / Manhattan etc in CA). It often feels like the waves are powerful and close out fast, with what seems like onshore winds. In turn, there is rarely a slow, beautiful wave like these, and I find it hard to catch them. I've ready that early mornings are best just in general for calmer conditions, but any recommendations, or videos you've made that could help would be appreciated! Matt
I know Kale Brock’s voice 👀❤️🤙🏽
🥦
Awesome video as always!
Nice edit and thanks for the tips. Tomorrow I'll try this out for sure.
🤙🏽🏄🏼♂️
Epic
Sick intro man
Thanks ...great job...
Owen Dalkeith thank you 😁
Love all your videos, thanks so much! I am a beginner slowly but surely progressing to green/unbroken waves but seem to either nose dive or drop off the face (bit slower at standing up) would love a video about key steps for catching these types of waves😀
Amy Cray 😜 I😁
Amy, I am also at this stage. I go to a beach break which is often too big for me. I have gone out a few times when the swell is smaller, and have found much more gentle waves. A slow, crumbly wave is much easier than the rapid forming giant walls that I often see there.
thanks dude !!!
🤙🏽😁
So helpful!! Also first comment😀
🤙🏽🤙🏽
Monty Robertson 😁
Could you show us your approach to a beach break where it's less predictable please. Thanks in advance, love your vids.
just started watching your videos! i started surfing about 6 months ago, and a lot of your tips have helped me!
Awesome :)
