    It's good to see the whole paddle-out sequence from start to finish. Here's a tip from a sixty-seven-year-old surfer: Save your energy by walking out as far as you can. Maybe even until it's chest high. Then, be real patient for a great lull and hightail it out.

    by the sheer looks of it you are "swinging" a lot, meaning: try to paddle as if someone stuck a metal tube up your butt. also: keep your emotions in check: cut down on the "oh no's" and the "whoo-hoo's". it's all energy leaving the body and it makes you focus on the wrong things. try to remember the ideal position on the board by sticking some wax where your nose should be. clench butt, chest up, legs together, straight feet, so the water can pass better. elbows up as if you wanna reach over a barrel and close your fingers to create a shovel with your hands. look forward. moving your head means moving the board, means creating drag. and make use of your ribs, they're basically the "hand" grabbing the board. it's all those things. check kelly slater vids and try to recreate his paddling style. it also helps tons to practice on a lake where you can focus on all that without the waves. for the turtle roll: when you spin the board back around grip it tightly and use the volume of the board to pull you back up. done right you'll be back on in sub 2secs. practice in shallow water. everyone wants to sit comfy in the lineup but surfing is 95% paddling. it's a science in its own. learn to love it. look for darker water. learn to read channels. spend time on the beach just reading the waves. wait for the set to pass and walk in as far as possible. done right you won't even get your hair wet ;) and you look cool doing it.

    This video hits the nail pretty much on the head, although when you make it out the back it’s usually a good idea to have a minute to catch your breath and get some stamina back into your upper body before you try to catch anything. Otherwise your more likely to struggle getting the wave and if you manage too, you will have a tough time getting back out after that first one because you have spent most of your energy.

    Hey dude, you’re a beginner! Don’t be so hard on yourself when you mess up, we all have before. We’ve all been kooks before. It’s not like you don’t know you’re making mistakes or you’re doing them on purpose or something like that. Just find ways not to be in peoples ways and apologize when you are- don’t sweat it so much!!

    Some advice from someone who races surf rescue paddle boards. Heavy white water if you paddle over and don’t need to Eskimo roll, slide right back sit up and lift the nose. Even in huge surf you can do this method to push the nose of the board through the face of wave. Sitting up and kind of hugging your board. If you do have to Eskimo roll because it’s to big learn to hold onto board and extend your body straight to act as an anchor. Then roll onto board and paddle asap. You can practice or people can practice in flat water. This advice is for longboards or paddle boards. Good luck. ✌️

    • @Nandox7
      @Nandox7 2 года назад

      How exactly you do that? You sit on the back of the board and lift the nose or you sit at the front?

    • @jeffe.3453
      @jeffe.3453 Год назад +2

      @@Nandox7 I've do this method often. Yeah I sit back on the board to lift it up and as the white water comes through and I feel the nose lifting up, to prevent it from tipping over I time it and grab the rails and lean in won my stomach and chest back towards the center of the board as the white water rolls under me. This puts you back into your paddling position on the board and can easily start paddling already. You'll have to judge how far back you need to sit and how high the white water is for you to do it, but there will be a point when the only choice you'll have is to turtle roll or ditch (if no one is around).

    It's great that you filmed the whole sequence from your point of view on the board. It really gives someone the experience of what they will be facing. I agree with @Ticki Volta , you're board is swinging side to side as you paddle. Check that your positioning is straight on the board and hone your paddling skills. From what I could see it looked like you could improve your paddle stroke. Watch videos on the subject and observe professional swimmers.

I caught the guy trying to paddle back out and I called him out to the beach and he was willing to pay for the damage. He apologized and explained that he was starting out. I'm chill most of the time and being from the coast, I understand that everyone is trying to have fun at the beach and in the water.
