This is brilliant. Too many people have told me about looking or pointing where to go, but I think these people are such natural surfers, they don’t know what they are doing as it's all second nature, and so can’t teach it. This is the first vid I’ve seen that talks about foot placement, engaging rails and fins. Totally makes sense now. Can’t wait to get out there and give it a try.
We're glad you found it helpful! Come visit us at our all-inclusive sup surf retreat in Costa Rica for professional coaching, great waves and a vacation in paradise!
So glad I found this video. I'm self teaching myself SUP surfing at the moment and am undoubtedly moving my front foot to turn, and legitimately have buried the rail numerous times and was yet to understand why. Definitely makes me want to get out on a retreat!
Thank you for this video! It is the only one I watched so far (I have watched a lot) which makes sence and gives solid instructions and advise! Well done.

Sometimes surfing is so secretive I wish I learned this years ago but I am very grateful I always study people and every time I go to the beach I always consider class in session
This video is awesome, i am watching it over and over and learning things every time. Thanks for making it really clear how to turn on a wave properly with a SUP surf. I had even bought the 2 videos called "SUP surfing Hawaiian Style" from Amazon (with some of the founds of C4 paddle boards showing technique)- and this video explains things much slower and better. And.. I have decided I WILL be down for one of the Blue Wave SUP surf camps, it's just a matter of time! Rock on.
Thank you so much for this video! I needed to better understand the footwork for turning and I found this very helpful. Now, off to practice what I have learned from you. Some of my fellow paddle surfers have been to your camp. Hoping to come sometime. 🏄♀️😎☀️🌴
Hi Cathy. Great to hear this video has been helpful. We'd love to host you in Nosara anytime! Just send us an email to info@bluezonesup.com and we'll get you set up to join us!
Outstanding video!!! I’ve got catching waves and balance completely down, but have really been struggling with getting to the next level and mastering turns. There are times when I’m able to just start a turn but I find most often I lose track of where I am on the wave because I didn’t know the optimal feet positioning until now!! Can’t wait to get back in water!!! Subscribed!
Hello. I really respect your videos and i am wondering if you recommend a lightweight board. I currently ride an isle 10 diamond tail. It is 20 some pounds. Is there anything lighter out there?
A great video Chase! Really helpful. I was really interested in how early you start shifting your backfoot from side to side. Something for me to work on.
Hey on that front side cutback at the end, I see that you're stroking with the turn but then it seems like you're holding the paddle in the water after the stroke. Is that just keeping you stable? Are you slowing yourself down? Or is it nothing? Just keeping your body position? Thanks
In the area of second :52 Q: compared to an extremely loose set of trucks how similar is the experience of not burying the rails likened to speed wobbling out of a hill bomb and being forced to bail or re route ? ( I drive very tight trucks on a 32 x7.75)
Surfing is feel. Feel comes from experience. You can't think yourself through it. You can maybe concentrate on doing one thing differently each wave, but things like "about 80 percent" of your weight on the rear foot are meaningless. Having the feel, it's easy to explain, but the explanation will be meaningless to anyone who doesn't already have it figured out.

You forgot the paddle....use
Too technical for me. I just rip it up by instinct.
Great stuff! Thank you
