3 REASONS YOU SURF TOO SLOW ON A WAVE | Surfing Lesson

love the intro!

How good is John Fisher courts to skate on!

If you can pump a skateboard or a scooter hard around bowls pumping on a surf board is the same thing all from the hips and abbs, most people need to work on flexibility before they even start

Brilliantly explained as ever . Thanks

Thanks 🙏

What I realized is that the "first" pump is crucial to start with good flow and speed related to the wave. I work each time on taking off on a compress position after the pop up and imidiately pump up to the higher 3rd of the wave and then point the nose to the beach to keep speed rail to rail. The challenge is that as a beginner this "first pump" doesn't come out optimally every time, but when it does, oh boy, it opens up a "door", very addictive. Thanks for the channel!

Nice one! Always great advice 👍🏻

brilliant vid...cheers Kale

🙏

those visualizations might be helpful...scoop the dirt, jump, throw it behind the wave. I think I don't compress as much as I think I'm compressing. Knowing my hand should almost touch the wave will help me correct that. I'm really struggling with pumping...

Is this pool in Australia ?

Great video. Something that may be useful is looking at martial arts and the way body movements and principles transfer to surfing. Like body compression, weight distribution, drawing and directing power from the hips, keeping the arms tight to the body, foot position, ect. Keep up the great video and cheers.

The “pluck”! Is gold! Thank you 🙏🏼

You just let the genie out the lamp 🪔

i cant believe this content is free to watch. Amazing bro

Hi Kale, love your content! quick question.
My surf/snowboard positon is Goofy buy my Skate position is Regular. Is that a problem? I can't skate while in Goofy position, I've tried.
I can Surf both positions actually but when I leaned to surf my coach told me I surf better as Goofy.
What do you think about it?
Thanks!

kale i found this video so helpful. i always had trouble with keeping my speed after initially catching the wave. i finally had some good waves here in norcal where i could practice this. i must say it helped so much i was able to keep speed down the line and make it past the wave closing out on me. it helped out so much that people gave me fist pumps that i was really working the wave down the line. so thanks for explaining this so well.🤙🏻

This is good stuff, great analysis Kale, quality video

fantastic tutorial as always. good work mate!

Me and my Dad watch your surfing tutorials together, even though he's got about 20 or so more years of experience then me we still learn a lot. Keep up the good work dude!

Would be nice to see one video about the backside more in depth man but other than that great tutorials as always 🤙🏻

Great video, am an intermediate surfer and will think of the scooping the dirt tip on my backhand rides 👍

Love the intro tune, is that by "thatkidgoran"?

Any way other than emojis😂
What length smooth star should one consider🤔

"Reason you're going too slow on a wave." 1. you're riding a HPSB when you don't have this skills to. Ride a fish, egg, or groveller that generates its own speed from the wave and learn the feeling and how to harness it. Then move to a HPSB when you are ready. Fun fact, many people will never be ready to surf a HPSB. So they can disregard all the funny shoulder/hingeing techniques and jumping to the top of the wave. Just get a board that goes fast on its own, point it and enjoy.

Love the new intro

Kale you just don't understand, or maybe you are just jealous this is the new style. Everybody surfs like this nowadays. We call it Soulkook. Beginners for life.

I suck at surfing but I can ride fairly well. I have much more talent foiling.

I’d love to start a channel to help people learn.

Love your inputs Kale! Always helpful to get better

If there’s anything I’ve learned, engage your rails and stay higher on the wave face.

If you see white wash, good luck. Kelly Slater can beat it. But it’s tough.

Love all your videos great tips as always

Great tips Kale! Big thanks 🤙🤙

Great tips Kale! Big thanks 🤙🤙

The bottom turns, like you say, are a bit excessive in most of these examples. I think it was in one of your videos were you mention the value of bad wave surfing. Those are definitely the days to figure out on small, poor shaped waves how to improve where you're looking when you paddle into a wave, the flow and continuity of the pop-up, and getting onto the face earlier. You really can relax with your stand-up when you get the flow right. On many of these bad wave days you just can't ride the face of the wave at all with some of these bottom turns and pop-ups. Great video!

i love your videos man, keep it up🤙🤙

Well done, this will help many many surfers out there!

The backhand pumping is a struggle. I'll try throwing some dirt around 😂😂. Thank you for the tip!

This was awesome 👏!
Thank You for breaking it down the way you did 🌟

again... great video! Absolutely cannot wait to get in the water

Is there anything that will stop surfing being turned into golf? Of all the blights on the world, I think this is the worst.

Awesome video!! Thanks Kale!!

Thanks for the backhand tip mate. I was struggling on that one. I'll try it out.
I remember the tip from the smooth star team: "scoop and clap" haha. Worked quite well

Thank you!!!!!!!!!

Awesome tutorials 🤙 is this technique good for a longboard?

This is a amazing tutorial, but what does a guy like me do when the waves are so mushy and barely pushing me, I catch waves pop up and try to generate speed and it’s like my board bogs down the moment I put my back foot all the way on the tail (shortboard). I basically struggle with thigh high and under, but once it’s waist high and above, I seem to generate speed very easily. I’m 6’3” 195 lbs and a intermediate surfer, I just struggle in really small mushy gutless waves. Any tips?

I watching this video yesterday before surfing and it instantly helped me! Thank you! I do have a tip from one coach to another. It can be confusing to talk about knee and back bend for some people. Talking and bending your ankles really helps to get people into the desired, athletic position.

Keep up the great work, I am beyond grateful to have such amazing coaching at my finger tips!

NICE!!!! The tip on grabbing the dirt and throwing it over the wave is HUGE!!!

This is amazing! Keep up the great work ❤️

Have you ever surfed a chilli Rare Bird? If so how'd it go?
