- You'd think doing something like a cutback is super easy, but actually, there are important surfing skills at play which, when applied incorrectly, can totally hinder a turn.
Here I take a cutback performed by Kelly Slater, arguably the greatest athlete of all time, and share how you can start to perform similar manoeuvres in your own surfing.
My incredible patrons, who make this channel possible, were already watching this in-depth tutorial two weeks ago over on MY PATREON PAGE - / kalesbroccoli

Kales: how to cutback like Kelly slater
Me: I can’t even do a cut back
😂 that’s why I made this video! Kale.
Next please: How To Surf Like Kales Brock
😂 just one Kale
Your videos have helped me a lot. I only found you this morning. Got a wild hair and decided to go to county line and surf today. Using many of the techniques you teach, I’ve instantly become a way better surfer. I got a ton of compliments on my surfing today, especially from the locals.
I love the attention to detail. It's helped me really improve the advice I can give to friends in the water
You are a very good teacher/instructor/speaker!!!
Love your tutorials Kales, the best out there by far! 🙌🙌
Thank you!!! Kale.
Thanks for the vids I’m always trying to improve my contest surfing
Great surfer!!! Great breakdown!!!
1:35 when the goat drops in on you lol
Don’t think the guy was making it
@@KalesBroccoli ah still need to work on my eyes
Another great video 👍
Thanks for the tips helped a lot
hey kale thanks for the good surfing content. it really helped me excel as a shortboard user. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
😍🎉
Love the vids
You make such beautiful and inspirational video every so thank you and stay safe!!🤙🏽🌺sending good vibez from Southern Cali
Thanks Angie!!
Good stuff
Thanks for the tips kale.
Ps...loved the triggs footage in a previous episode.
Kales when are you going to do the surf manoeuvres training on the smoothstar board video that you said you would. Keep it up though.
Amazing video! Thank you...
Don't you think he was using a quad?
Could make a huge diference on these case
Cheers
Could you do a video on how to take off a traction pad?
haha i love australian accents. "owm a filmmakaa and a surfaa"
Hey Kale, love your channel!
I had a few contrary thoughts when I watched this episode, especially the side by sides.
Kelly's ability to go through the turn in a more upright position is a product of more speed as opposed to the other way round.
(I would normally encourage people to have as much compression as possible up until the final 30% of the turn where they can then push/extend and transfer the potential energy into kinetic - as you said with the spring analogy)
He has more speed because he goes from rail to rail (toes to heels) without a break in between. Whereas in your cutback you go toes, neutral lateral pressure, then onto your heels. When the board is on a rail it is trapping the apparent flow of water underneath the board and generating speed. If weight is back and the board isn't on the rail then...well those are the brakes.
He also draws a much tighter arc for three reasons:
1 he spends more time with his front leg straight (weight/hips back) this, again, he is able to do because he's got more speed going into the turn.
2 his back foot is in the centre of the board whereas yours is nearly over the toeside rail
3 you've been very hard on yourself by comparing turns with two very different boards! Your turn is really impressive given the board shape :)
Would love to hear your thoughts.
For sure! I hope I made it clear that because he was going faster he was able to stay more upright. A few slight adjustments in the footing can definitely help a turn
I held neutral for a second longer to give myself space for the turn so yes lost a little oomf!
Hi Kale, what video camera do you use when filming the surfing footage?
I also noticed his backfoot doesn't seem to be all the way back on the tailpad while entering the wave (going into the cutback), that might give him a bit more drive on a flater wave. What you reckon? Great vid btw.
Yep! Until the turn
Can you go over how to pump properly up & down the wave to gain speed going over the mechanics & physics of it? Thanks.
Yep have done before in the surfers roadmap! Will do again
Thanks. I'll look for that one & will be on the lookout for the update you do too. I watch them all. Always helpful! 🏄♀️
So goood! Can you do an analysis on Steph Gilmore and Mikey February (or someone similar) and what gives them style?!
I would need to film them for copyright purposes
@@KalesBroccoli ah - right. DMCA takedowns are no bueno.
Dammit! Wanted to be the first!
Hi kale,
love your channel, it's great, thanks for all the videos.
I have a question about cutback, maybe you can help.
I'm just starting my way around cutbacks and it seems like many times when i try to do a cutback my inner rail (the one that i put pressure on) get stuck in the watter and therefore i fall and can't finish the cutback.
why does it happen? What do i do wrong ?
Thanks in advance.
Not going fast enough most likely :)
@@KalesBroccoli Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
I'll try to do it with more speed and see it works better.
You shredding waves like zakk wylde shreds guitar
Thanks for the video!
For me, it is much easier to do a cut back than a vertical. Is it common?
Yeah
Do more videos about surfing a fish
Agree. I just bought a fish and I want to see what I can do on it
Dylan Mullin same here, starting to realise that you have to do way more drawn out long turns. It surfs like a dream though, fast and flows well with the wave
No, a Fish is smelly and slimy, just use a normal Board.
I want to start surfing but I’m very nervous about sharks.
Any advice to get over this fear ?
Man I wish I could even pump like Kelly slater, the cutback maybe in 5 years haha, also any good lefts on Sydney NB apart from north Narra?
Lots 👀
Kale Brock Alright gotta find them then 😈
I tried to do a wrapping roundhouse cutback a few times today but as finished to the main turn I lost all my speed... every single time. Any tips on this?
Not getting low enough / entering the turn with enough speed
Kale Brock ok thanks!
Have any idea what board kelly was riding during this? Cheers
Looking at the nose maybe a no brainer. Maybe a model not available to everyone
How do I know how to improve my surfing if I don’t have somebody to film or citric my surfing?
How you feel
"It doesn't hafe to be like a Gooday" Love that 😂
Hello, I’m 14 years old and live on the Coastline. Im confident enough to start learning to surf but first I need a board. I’m 125 pounds and 5’10”. The beach’s around me are roughly about 5 less than 6 feet tall and the water is about 6/7 feet deep. I want this to be my go-to board. Any help or suggestions on what board I should get?
Get something around 6'6' and 40 liters so you can ride it on longboard and shortboard days . Start in whitewash then paddle out to 1-2 foot waves and watch a lot of videos
Yuvraj Dhamija Oh okay thanks! I will consider that
You're to nice Kale.....throw in a f-off every now and again! Oh yeah, that must be some good sativa.....visine gets the red out brother....
Haha I promise my eyes are red from the salt water
@@KalesBroccoli
Uh huh....😂😂
HELLO 👋
No video posts in a while? I hope everything is okay. Cheers 🍻

Why did u just comment the number 1? Ahahha
Is it me or does Kelly Slater kinda look like Deadpool 🤔
@kale brock that kelly's cutback you chose to analyze is quite lame, don't you think? KS has zillions of cutbacks better than that... and other surfers, like yadin nicol's on this Rincon video at 1:47: ruclips.net/video/HOIpSwt4b00/видео.html or the bruce irons cutback at trestles against his RIP brother AI, back in the day that was flawless. Cheers, love your channel and videos!
Can’t just rip someone else’s video
Kale Brock that KS turn is barely a cutback bro cheers
Okay
