these are nice for small waves imo. for large sets of white water barreling towards you and a beachbreak, I just ditch the board and dive under. this works well if you have a leash on and there is no one behind you! do not try this if you have people near behind you...
Cool tutorial video, much appreciated. Sitting here dead center of the states and not surfing, but I like the idea of moving for a few years just to experience the culture.
Great video I didn’t know about the pop cork! One thing someone taught me about the turtle roll is to push one foot into the back of the board to help get the nose under bigger waves. Aloha 🤙🏽
Also, as I got better at the turtle roll I found that I could use the force of the wave passing over to help me flip back atop the board. At the tail end of the wave passing over you...start to turn your board and the water moving passed you will flip you with a little more force. You have to get the feel for when to reconnect your chest to the board. If you time it just right it puts you in a good position faster and you can look forward and maybe find a low spot to paddle for or get ready to repeat.
Good tip! And you're very right. When you flip back around you can use the tail end force of the wave to help get you back into paddling position. That faster transition makes a much more efficient paddle out. Instead of trying to climb back on the board after turtling.
There is actually some incorrect advice here. I regularly surf longboards in overhead waves.No problem. Been surfing for over 40 years though and i am very very fit. Angling and knifing the rail sideways into the wave reduces the force on the board and is easily a much better method which i learnt from my decades of experience.
I used to pop up ok but I’m coming back from an injury (double trimaleolar ankle breaks skydiving), and I’m going to try and longboard to help me rehab back into surfing gradually, so as an old surfer and first time Longboarder this was very helpful thank you 😊🙏🏻
That funny thing you mentioned at the end of video actually happened to me. Was turte-rolling, got pushed and flipped vertically while still holding the board. Suddenly I was facing the shore on my board..so I popped up and rode it 🤣🤣 Fascinating!!!
Omg this is very helpfull for me. Ussualy i always jump off from the board when the waves is coming, and then make me tired quickly 🙇. Thank you surfcoaches. Hope this summer i can go for surfing better..
I've always done what I call the duck dive, and this is at The North Shore Oahu always worked for Me. But I've never been on a longboard so maybe it's different.
How about shore break or for almost breaking wave, can I do turtle roll on it? cos I realised the wave just flip my board out of my hand most of the time. I find turtle roll only works for white water(breaking wave)
That's okay for getting through small waves, but when you get a barrage of larger waves, it's a bit more difficult. Any tips for that? Only thing I can figure out is wait it out or go way around, which takes time. I'll practice the turtle roll more, I guess. WATCH FOR REEFS WHEN YOU DO TURTLE ROLL!
+Darth Figpucker Try looking for channels/rip currents, they'll help you get out back without dealing with the impact zone or wait for a set to finish then start paddling in deeper quickly so you don't need to spend a third of your session duck diving and restoring.
Sit up and straddle your board and turn around to face the beach by circling your feet like an egg beater, putting your back to the wave. Slide back a little still sitting to act like an anchor and hold the rails. Let the wave go by, turn around and keep going. Or, with a leash and if you are not near anyone, get off the board and dive under the wave and feel that cool tug when the wave pulls your board.
@@judyliciuos1 Yup, Im ass at surfing so far so I just dive under the wave, holding the nose of my board behind me with one hand, and if the wave is really strong I let the board go. Helps ease off a bit of the tension and if its not too strong of a wave I still have my board at the ready once Im thru the wave!
the pop looks like it needs lots practice deep and wide legs in turtle roll is worth a try. sometimes i like to punch through the waves and if the white water is big but not big enough i hold tight lay side of head on the board and it feels like a pop but i lay on board because if it has more power than i anticipated it doent smash my face the pressure over the board feels lower and after the pop im like vertical and seems like a drag vs backward push i saw another method.... you spin to have back to wave board as vertical and deep as possible i done this a couple times when i misjudged the break and pow brake right on my head i ditch board but they say keep the board.....
TheValeAcunna TVA you won't feel the the wave and i think if the wave was going to break on you you just go down and let the surf boerd go than pull it from that think on you foot
Sometimes on big waves I hug the front of the board and dive under the wave with the board under my arm. I’m off the board but still holding onto it. Is this bad technique?
A life long surfer/ surf shop owner in San Diego told me to do it this way instead of turtle rolling. He said to keep the board close to you with your arm and and turn yourself sideways. Maybe it’s an old school way? I need to try both and compare.
I just started learning how to surf ( getting on it and riding it on a small wave ) I surf in California does anyone know the best spots for a beginner 😁
+Jonathan S Depends on the size of the wave, Turtle roll is the best of the 3 for waves right in front of you, but a good size wave on top is bad for all 3 methods.
+Surf Coaches if it is a bigger wave breaking right on top of you, i suggest just aborting the board and swimming down under. u should make sure that their arent any people in the water behind you before u use this method as ur surfboard could hit them
if your using a longboard turtle roll coz it'll break on the board and will be fine though a lot of the time if you paddle hard enough you should be able to get over it. don't duck dive if its a big board coz it will b e near impossible to get under
@@rebeccawint_ ...i regularly surf my longboard in overhead surf and there is a method to use which works. It takes timing and skill though. Learners struggle duck diving anything in even small surf.
like all the other comments said, just paddle over unbroken waves. When there is no white water there is nothing to push u. If the wave breaks as you are at the top of it, a lot of the time your board will punch through and u will make it over.
Sharks are just like puppies, they will make them selves present, if you leave them alone they won't bother you, but they can nibble if you entice them.
I'm still working on the turtle roll. My friend saved me on bigger white wash by having me sit on the tail and face the shore and the wave passes me. I'm so weak and the turtle scares me ha ha
that waves are not 4'-6' or more if you tried a duck dive then you would snap the board you have to slice the wave with a longboard at 80 degrees turn it 90 degrees take it with you holding the rails then slip back on doing escomo rolls in shallow waves no use in large waves with a longboard they can easily do 10 foot waves
Place your weight through feet on side of the board that you want the board to turn to. Practice on land on a skateboard if you dont understand this basic idea.
I think it's a regional thing. In Southern California everyone says turtle roll and even turns it into a verb: " Do you know how to turtle your board?"
'Turtle roll'? RU SERIOUS? That's a good way to get your face smashed by your board and will NOT get you outside. NO ONE who has a clue 'turtle rolls'. No one.
I love these guys. Dad’s like Pot and the kid’s like Speed. 😃 Seriously though, they do some great tutorials and really well put together videos 👍🏻

How about the "board ditch"? Lol
me
lol
I really dislike doing that because it could hit someone
-SpyGuy- one of my preferred techniques
That one gets more common when you get into Maverick sized waves lol
This is the most helpful video I’ve sent this to everyone I teach before having them in the water

I have an 8ft soft top...... Its the worst when getting through waves, especially in the northern gulf coast
i feel i have a soft top for the small days and i feel some of the sets totally just knock you over
same. but im on the east coast U.S.
I have 7ft soft top, yeah its a pain for getting over waves :/
Ryan Connor same
agreed :P
It's so easy to catch waves with longboards, but I wish I could duck dive them through big waves!
with the long, you dont catch waves, the waves catch you xD
hi ...from Ensenada Baja, saludos compadre....... thank you...great videos
First i was watching Nimiq vlogs and now i am learning how to better surf with you
Thank you for this video! Surfing this weekend and I needed to know this
I don't really understand why the big guy uses the small guy to teach.
Could be see a demo with a long board?
awesome. love the drywall analogy for the turtle roll
I've always done what I call the duck dive, and this is at The North Shore Oahu always worked for Me. But I've never been on a longboard so maybe it's different.
Napili54 long boards are too buoyant for a duck dive, that works better on small-medium boards:)
Thank you guys, this helps
Good tips!! Thanks for teching how to fight the waves
Thank god now I’m not going to die now
Very cool 😎 and helpful.
Finely someone talking straight 🙏🙏👍
How about shore break or for almost breaking wave, can I do turtle roll on it? cos I realised the wave just flip my board out of my hand most of the time.
I find turtle roll only works for white water(breaking wave)
Thanks for the information.
One question, how do you define small, medium, big waves? 3 ft, 5ft, 10ft?
Small 2-3, medium 3-5, big 6+ just depends where the wave is crashing in front of you... Obivously the closer to it breaking the more powerful.
Can you duck dive a fun shape board
Is that carl from shameless
Thanks for the tips guys...
What is that nifty balance device you practice on?
This was very helpful... Thank U!
Yup, happens to me on turtle roll, where the board flips and I'm riding the wave!
Fun, but slows you down.
Can u do the turtle roll with a foam board
Thank you 🙏

Does the turtle roll work on a normal surfboard or only longboard?
awesome video, thanks!
This helps a lot. Thank you!

What happened if the wave break while you are doing the Turtle role, and break on you
TheValeAcunna TVA you won't feel the the wave and i think if the wave was going to break on you you just go down and let the surf boerd go than pull it from that think on you foot
b sure to not let the surfboard go into someone :)
***** thats a thing too 😉
typically if the wave breaks right on you it will spit you out on the back side of the wave.
better that it breaks on the board anyway, than directly on you - worst case scenario is you get dragged a bit.
EPIC TIPS! Thanks!!

on the eskimo roll should you use your feet to 'seal' the tail of the board ? or willj ust pulling it be enough
Nice vid, love the number of subscribers
Friend- let's take a shot every time he says basically!
Me- ok!!
We were drunk by the end of the video
What is that surfboard they use to demonstrate on land
?
Woah I actually love this video a video I actually need to watch
Awesome vid, but would the turtle roll still work if there was like a 5 footer breaking either on you or right in front of you? Pura vida!

good stuff!
So basically how your going to do this is basically just basically roll over basically
yeah, since moving to San Diego, I've incorporated the word basically a lot in my vocabulary. It's annoying to myself, but it's normal.
zeffery moved to San Diego 8 months ago too bro. Started surfing. Love it
This is great
hi where in Costa Rica are you i am located when in the country in in the costa ballena area pura vida
How do you do the turtle roll with a buoyant wetsuit?
thanks man hope it helps
Ok if the waves are no more than 2 ft. I prefer to ditch the board and swim under after checking behind for other surfers.
Cool, thank you :)!
What do i do if the wave is about to brake on me because that seems to happen to me pretty often?
try duckdiving or the first one

If you're a bigger person you can duck dive a longboard.
I want to be just like Atua one day
Can you duck dive a mini mal?
Can you do a turtle roll on a wave that’s unbroken
Why would you bother? Just paddle over it.
@@MalcolmPowder what works for me, is going under the wave and ditching the board. If you have a leash
Just paddle over it
like all the other comments said, just paddle over unbroken waves. When there is no white water there is nothing to push u. If the wave breaks as you are at the top of it, a lot of the time your board will punch through and u will make it over.
What about breathing?
can I do this with a bodyboard?
Bianca Rivera just duck dive
I'll be surfing for the first time later next year. How many shark encounters have you guys had?
dantheman z good luck bro
Thanks bro
Sharks are just like puppies, they will make them selves present, if you leave them alone they won't bother you, but they can nibble if you entice them.
If you know Darren Heresa, tell him, "Howzit!" From Ulua Boy.
How about the duck dive ?
You can't duckdive a longboard too boyant
+banana boy brookes Yup, Thank you.
you can duck dive a longboard..
yes but not if you are a beginner it also takes a lot of effort
+banana boy brookes I'm 210lbs and have no problem duck diving a 9'0" board.
I'm still working on the turtle roll. My friend saved me on bigger white wash by having me sit on the tail and face the shore and the wave passes me. I'm so weak and the turtle scares me ha ha
Are you guys in CR?
meh I was just about to say that it must be somewhere in Central America

Place your weight through feet on side of the board that you want the board to turn to. Practice on land on a skateboard if you dont understand this basic idea.

Hey can you guys tell me the name of the music in the background ?
Dude that kid looks like Carl from Shameless!!
Turtle roll sucks in cold waves...water flushes up the arms of the suit.
Wear long gloves
He looks like UFC fighter ferguson 😆
When I said big I ment about 10 feet with 9 seconds swell
1o ft and 9 seconds....intervals....sounds like a storm surf......tough going...15 second periods are the go.

Bro this is the kid who taught us how to breath under water
Or if you are a tank like Greg Null, duck dive lol.
The kid is weird but funny well done champ

Not really worth doing on a longboard.

Or you can learn to duck dive 🦆 🏄🏽
Lincoln Norton on a longboard? ahaha
@@ethansstuff2988 It is very possible, but it depends on the weight of the user and the volume of the board.
you could just duck dive

turtle rolls are pretty common...
sea bass Bru turtle rolls are so common and if you do it right you won't get your face smashed in your board
sea bass lol aot if people do it works if u do it correctly
no way... the board floats it won't get any deep so it can't hit you.
Everybody I know with a long board(including myself) turtle rolls, you kook.
awesome. love the drywall analogy for the turtle roll
