    Although I've been surfing since 1968 I still can learn from watching these videos. We didn't have any surfing schools back then, or even surfing coaches. I didn't have any friends who were experienced surfers to take me out and teach me things. Everything I learned was from trial and error. I had to learn things the hard way. Watching this video shows some of the mistakes I make even after 50 years of surfing!

      Hey @Ronald, thanks for your comment. It seems many of us have this in common. Being born inland Canada, we also never had any friends to teach us, we had to learn things the long and hard way. Through our Surf Trips and now with this RUclips Channel, our mission is to help the beginner and Intermediate surfers going through the same path, learn as efficiently as possible.

      Edit: after checking my pictures from November 2019, I am positive it is Playa Maderas.

    The first lesson before trying catch a wave is correct positioning on board. Not too forward not too back. To get the correct position on most boards from small to funboards, is using the length of your arm to tip of board. Extend your arm laying on board to the nose of board. You should be able to grab or touch nose tip of board. On small boards you should be able to grab the nose. On larger funboard or longboards you should touch the tip of nose..so play try this position. The paddling also becomes easier when you follow this advice on positioning on the board.

    Just uploaded a video on catching waves yesterday and saw this today...I have to say, well done! I say the more competent surfers in the water the better, and catching green waves is one of those massive hurdles that comes early on and is sooo important. You have explained things so well. We overlap on a lot of points, and diverge in others. Keep it up and you will be pushing me to do better.

    Took up surfing lessons last year and broke my foot on my fourth class during my best wave. Got close to the shore. Got off the board to "swim" and fell onto my foot, since the floor was closer than I thought. Had to get 7 screws and a plaque into my foot. Just now healing from the screw-removal surgery. It was one of my life dreams to surf. Watching these videos makes me wish I had seen them before. I want to try it again, but the PTSD won't let me. Surf while you can. And live life in the now, tomorrow is never guaranteed. Enjoy your gift: the present.

    What you said about not being afraid to nose-dive blew my mind.
    When you think about it, it's one of the safest ways to bail: you will penetrate the water whilst keeping your head as far as possible from your surfboard (which is the most dangerous thing around unless you are surfing on a reef).
    One thing I'd like to know: which side of the wave should the surfer observe before popping up ?
    The peak or the lower side (is it called 'shoulder'?)?
    I saw the professionals always look to the lower end just before they pop up.
