- How to surf | Take off & pop up perfectly every single time with this video from H2R Sydney HQ.
In this video Kale talks through some super important points behind the sometimes intimidating 'take off' in surfing. That 'pop up' that so many beginner surfers struggle with in their early stages of surfing.
Importantly, in this video Kale offers a 'transitional' technique for beginner surfers to gain confidence with before stepping up to the advanced version.
What are you struggling with whilst surfing? Let us know in the comments below and we'll make a video about it! - Sport
Thanks for supporting our channel guys!! Much love :) K
Mate love ya videos they are the best!! No ego just great info! I’ve been surfing for 10 years and stuck in a place where I can’t seem to progress. So I’m going to take your lessons and try to break through my resistance. Thanks legend
my first drop ins were effortless with the board just easily dropping down as i stood up. felt amazing and cant stop thinking about the stoke and my next trip to the beach.
Great Video Kale, I would love a video of you breaking down your quiver, with fins, the differences between fins, thruster vs quad, differences in sizes, FCS vs futures, and lastly what you enjoy most! Thanks love the work, Brad Stewart
Thanks Brad!! Once my new house is set up I will shoot this video for you!! Perhaps a special expert guest might be appropriate for this one too :)
I agree with Brad, great suggestion!
You really know how to pop up as a pro, but as a beginner I can tell you it is better to position your back foot first and then the forward one.
You are so helpful
Thanks for the useful tips Kale ! using the burpee for the quick pop up is a good visual ! subscribed to your ch from SoCal's San Clemente area. Cheers !
So awesome! Thanks a bunch. I love SC so much!! Gotta get back there soon
Great vids, i was thinking a vid on footwork would be great, covering all aspects of it from tube riding and simple carving but to show how it changes as conditions change and different types of waves. If its already been done i havent been able to find any. Thanks
Difficult to show visually without an annoying GoPro attachment but we will try
Thank you so much for you video’s i do surf im not the best i practice and your videos help me a lot
Great video!
At 3:34 this is a perfect smooth and powerfull take off I am looking for but it is not a jumped take off like at 1:15 neither a beginner one like at 1:30 because you would have the back foot in the water on the shortboard. I think there is a first move of the back leg that is not explained, like a first quick step on knees that put the knee of the back leg forward and the back foot on the pad, then you move the front leg like the beginner take off. I am not sure to be right but it is so fast and difficult to see in the white water
awesome video bro! Greetings from Perú
This is more of a how to pop up video. The takeoff is more about positioning and wave reading. When the wave is too flat, when its too late, when to go left or right..what a closeout looks like...paddling to the peak...arching your back on a shortboard to make late takeoffs and make steeper waves.
You’re right. I’ll do a more in depth version next week
Hey Kale, can you give some tips/advice in honing the take-off looking down the line rather than looking straight down or at your feet. It seems not as easy as perhaps it could be. Thanks.
The finer details of taking off
Video coming soon Roger !
Thanks dude
Are your feet or toes on the board when you pop in the advanced version for a short board? Or are you popping with hands and knees only (feet/toes dangling off the back of the board)? The side view in the video cuts off the feet. Great videos!!!
It would be so interesting a good answer to this questions.
Cool but on your initial popup you used your toes that's fine and all in my 9'4" but on my 7'4" my toes aren't really part of the equation. I'm finding it hard to popup after about 6 months of using my toes.
Me and my brother now surfing like a pro but we dont have a good beach and planche of surf we juste taket a one surfer we are in morroco i have 13 and my brother have 8 we want help for my carrer
He does not have a good beach and BOARD and he IS 13 and his brother IS 8 :)
All good stuff, but it would help a great deal to see some examples of popping up without using your toes (i.e., as you would on a shorter board). It's hard to tell whether you're using your toes in this video.
I see most pro surfers plant their rear foot firstly may u explain further...?
What beaches do you guys surf at
I would love a video with tips to generate speed without looking like a crazy rabbit like many surfers, hopping up and down furiously to make a section. God that’s ugly.
Haha love it. Okay - graceful speed generation video coming up next week. 🤙🏽
Haha! Someone had to say it. So true
What’s the song?
Hi Kale. Started st 56 now 57! Doing better but at this stage of taking off in the wave it’s the drop in that’s scary. Any tips size of waves 🌊 and so crowded line up. Check out my updated videos and let know what you think. Ty.
But are you pressing down on the rails or on the sides when you’re popping up from the board?
Side of the board generally. The fingers may curl over the side a little
probably not the best habit. when your fingers curl around the board they catch in the water and slow you down
Not really because the board should be planing enough to not be sinking that much. The top half of the board should easily be riding high.
ty for the video. I wonder if you raise your chest mostly using your arms, or mostly by arching your lower back, or mix of both. Because I feel that if I use too much arms then I'm going to sink the front of the board into the water...
Mixture of both but board should be moving fast enough to not sink
@@HowtoRip Ty friend
Im coming to Australia in a couple days any recommendations on where to surf.
Perth haha
@@HowtoRip what part of perthh
Sofia Webb anywhere
Hi Can I have the old boards you used
Ever since I was a child, I have always wanted to play in the waves
Not enough money to buying
,So let me ask you
Thank you for making this video! I have two questions: 1. A lot of times, right before I pop up, my board gets flushed away and leaves me behind boardless 😂 do you have any suggestions to prevent this from happening? 2. After I pop up on a short board, I’d surf for 2 - 3 seconds on the wave, but then I’d notice that I’m getting slower and slower and eventually end up having to jump off. I try to get my center of mass forwards. Sometimes I don’t even have my back foot on the stomp pad. Do you have any suggestions for not losing the wave after popping up (btw I take off on green waves and ride the white water to shore, my board is about 35L and the waves are about 1 meter tall)?
I think I am a little late but I can help you hahahhaha. I have the answer for the second thing you mentioned, when you are riding the white water with a shortboard is normal to lose speed, so what you have to do is ride the "wall" of the wave in its highest part. Im sorry if I wrote smth bad but I am not english so hahahha
@@teresagarcia3670 i have a board with a lot of volume. In this past year, I found the answer actually. It’s because i didn’t paddle fast enough. The faster, the more stable. Your reply makes me realize that I’ve come a long way hahaha
@@yileiyilei5616 that is cool, im glad you found the answer!! good waves 🤙
What about taking off on waves with a steep face vs waves with a low pitch? Or catching a wave "late" when the face is steeper?
I’m considering surfing anyone recommend any Specific brands?
Torq surfboards are good beginner boards
I DID SHARE 😆😁
From Korea!:)
Better to walk up. Back foot lands then on front. Always lean forward and stack on front foot. I'm not going lie not many pro surfer pop up. They walk up. Back foot always first and be like a sprinter then pull front foot forward
where are you based out of?
We are Sydney and Adelaide based
What beach is this?
Barra been
I seem to be skiiming down the wave and the popping up.. how to drop down a wave without mining urself would be welcome. nothing out there about it cheers
better still not piping up at bottom of a wave as I seem to do. ahhhh
Are you single? Thanks for the tips, I never surfed before.
i think you're cute, the accent is sexy and I just love your explanations! thanks!
This comment is cute and sexy
🏄♀️
1st yay
Yeah Charlie!!
If you teach beginners to take off using their knee you'll create a terrible habit that they'll struggle to correct in the future. So better teach the 3 steps take off or chicken wing technique.
When you take off jumping on a short board you can't use your toes in the water, you push from your knees.
