@@Jesterian I've been surfing for a few years and even went to surf camp for a week. Figure I'd be intermediate by now, oh well I have no ego when it comes to surfing.
Thank you for the content and education you put out on surfing! I started surfing 2 years ago, at the age of 31, and have progressed far quicker then I originally thought. Having fun and visualizing are my key ingredients! I solely longboard a single fin, I'd say I'm in the beginning phase of intermediate; this video is great, and so much is, of course, applicable to longboarding, but I was wondering if you have could make a "Tips for Intermediate Longboard Surfers"? I'm now learning how to cross step, but I still need to learn how to read the wave so I can trim on the face to gain speed and elongate my ride... I've been inhaling slow-mo videos and watching all kinds of tutorials, but I think your channel breaks everything down to the smallest variations, and variables, I would love to see an intermediate longboard tutorial from you! Thank you!
I wish I had this a year ago. There’s so much good info here, it’s gold. I doubt expert surfers who already know this stuff would actually be able to explain it to me anywhere near this level. (I’ve watched plenty of how to videos.) Thanks!
You are brilliant. I've followed your lessons for ages - even before Barefoot Surf (who could mistake that voice!). I love the stepwise way you break things down and take it gradually. Aboslutely the best surfing instruction I've seen (and, incidentally, a great example for instruction in any field). Many thanks and please keep 'em coming.
Awesome video, thank you much ! Especcialy for the last tip... I am from Latvia and I don't have a chance to surf so often how I want to... And when I have a chance - I am trying to improove my surfing skill as much as I can, but I am forcing myself too hard sometimes and getting too serius about that, that I can forgot the most important why I am doing that - to have fun. :) Thanks again, I am love your videos and would try to use all your tips tomorrow in Mexico, Sayulita. :)
Make friends with some locals and surf the better spots south of Sayulita , it’s in between there and the city. You can thank me later. Have fun. Remember to be respectful and have fun, locals rule
So frustrating wanting to improve, but not being able to get in the water! I grew up in the city but used to practice the Pop up and stance at home. I also used to pretend a wall or hedge was a wave and imagine Surfing it hahah! Don't know if that actually helped me in the long run, but gets you thinking about surfing movements at least...
Good one! Bottom turn example is not the best. Surfer doesn’t set up properly and as a result does a big counter rotation with his arms at 1:49. If he’d thrown his back arm back just after the bottom this would’ve been avoided.
If you only think with your body and just expect to do the manoeuvre you may likely fail. Like if your cutting back and you don’t think Of the whole body doing it on the board you might fail. I found focusing on the entire movement and believing it would happens intuitively helped. There’s vast improvements I could make but I’ve only been learning to ride mini mals and Funboard s for 8 or 9 months. It’s a tricky one, all of it. I am who I am and it’s funny getting frustrated because moments later it doesn’t matter and I smile. But think with your body not just your mind.
Super thoughtful and helpful, can't wait to try out some of the tips mentioned the next time I enter the water, looks like these guys are having so much fun out there!
I’ve wanted to surf since I was 5 but I live in Newfoundland Canada so I don’t think I possible, but I’m so passionate about it, should I surf where I live or should I move somewhere else
A.succesful pop up is key. For elder surfers with lower back issues a stand up paddle board eliminates a pop up and nirvana soon follows. Remember a clean beach is a safer beach, pick up some trash before you leave your spot.
Change the position tips 15# to 1# and it became real.. I s the difference between "spend your money to improve your surf" and "enjoy your time in the water to elevate your soul"
#4 not always true. frontside cut back. set the rail first with your arse sinking your heals, when you are halfway start your wrap by leading with your head. this is what fanning, parko and dingo do. you arrive at the lip with more speed and a better angle
at 3:40 the surfer catches the wave while barely paddling. On a short board. I thought you had to be going as fast as the wave to catch it. I thought you had to be an extremely strong paddler to catch waves in 3-4 strokes. It looks like he's barely paddling. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Born and raised in Hawaii iv been surfing my whole like and I can't stress how important the last tip is. I've seen good freinds get frustrated and jealous of other surfers and end up quiting. Iv seen people take surfing too seriously and get into fights and then avoid spots and eventually just stop surfing. The best surfers I know are the ones who are just out there because it's fun. Iv never seen a really good surfer get discouraged or jealous. Endless your making money then surfing is a hobby and I think it should be treated that way.
Really great, quick video! Let's add one final tip: Be kind and supportive to others! The days of the "a-hole locals" are over; if you're not smiling, you're doing it all wrong!!!
When taking off on a wave I seem to pop up and my body is facing down the wave but my board doesn't have the same direction as my body as more often more straight then towards the direction I wanna go. Should my body follow the board direction then turn together or the other way round?
a bit of both. catch the wave with a little bit of an angle down the line... but on take off just focus on going straight and getting to your feet.. readying yourself for a bottom turn.
@@markguardiani1389 Thanks for the response. Most of the waves I am surfing are quite fast reef breaks that don't leave much time for a bottom turn as they close quite quick. I will try this though - thanks!

“What you are doing on a wave and what you think your doing is often quite different” I felt that 😂
Lmaoooo seriously I thought I was about to go right and I went left 🥴 thank god I was on a foam board
Same 😂
Watching yourself when recorded surfing is quiteva cruel thing
Completely agree🤣🤣🤣
Haha, yeah me too
If this is intermediate then I'm definitely still beginner level.
I think that’s an important thing to realize. I see too many Reddit posts that are like “I’ve been surfing for a year and I’m intermediate now”. Lol

@@Jesterian 5 years Im intermediate
@@Jesterian for me I am doing airs my first year its just how much time you spend in the waver and the quality of waves you get
Wow this is amazing you guys literally shoved years worth of understanding in less than 8 minutes. Good on you 🙌❤

Hi! Barefoot, I'm so thankful for your videos. I've learned to surf and now I'm at an intermediate level.
Great job! Thanks for the feedback

That was a great last tip. Super true

Before all those words = language skill, and proof!
Excellent tips thanks guys :)!
My new mantra is "don't forget to fade!" Hoping to actually develop a bottom turn that way and come into the pocket and power of the wave.
I’ve wanted to surf since I was 5 but I live in Newfoundland Canada so I don’t think I possible, but I’m so passionate about it, should I surf where I live or should I move somewhere else
Tofino on the Vancouver Island might be a good holiday spot for you to try surfing in the Summer/Fall
Most helpful video ever! 🙏

If your in the right spot at the peak, you’ll barely need to paddle. The tricky part is being in the right spot.
@@rhysherbert8569 Thanks for answering. Ahh ok... I imagine the steepness of the wave is a factor?
where are these clips taken

Thanks for sharing @christian
Sometimes (too often) I take it too seriously and I can’t enjoy it as I would like to. It’s hard to break this when you can’t ride as you would like.
My top tip which will underpin all this advice... Move to Indonesia and learn there.
Really great, quick video! Let's add one final tip: Be kind and supportive to others! The days of the "a-hole locals" are over; if you're not smiling, you're doing it all wrong!!!
hehe, unlike snowboarding turning requires much more twist...I spend most of my time snowboarding telling people to twist more :)
Great video! Footage very appropriate to commentary
👍👍
dont you just love practicing interesting maneuvers
I wish I could see others but I have a bad eyesight 😂😂😂😂
Thank you! It's always a big pleasure to see yours video.
