Hey guys Ryan here, check out my new version here. czcams.com/video/_ImGueVdAaM/video.html
The Art to Surfing.
Alright well I’m off to nazare now ✌🏼
Same and chopes
No bro, hit Mavericks and jaws first
Abel Arredondo it was a joke. Lmao
Bzilzy on mobile his was too, those are another set of deadly waves
Bzilzy on mobile brodacious I know lol 😂 those are killer waves too
you remind me of the surfing guy interview: “yknow you just get out there and *WAPOW* you dive in and *RAAAAAGHHRRR*”
We both love surfing!
I used to be a very good surfer, but had knee surgery and gave up on trying to stick it. I watched your videos and went out for another shot. Finally! I can catch waves again. Thank you guys for refreshing the basics for me!
That’s so awesome Chris!!!
Just getting into it and going to get knee surgury soon and I'm so devasted. How long until you could surf again?
I used to be a surfer like you, but then I took an arrow in the knee??
@Kat Smith Go do Bikram Yoga to help build up strength and heal the injury properly.....
Similar story here, Chris. After 15y on the water, then 6y not (to busy paragliding) got back into it, but found paddle surf the best choice. More waves, better workout and it fixed my back- and knee troubles. Aloha, Robert!
I surfed all the time as a teenager but life and it's obligations take a lot of us away from our passions and getting back into it has been difficult. You showed me a couple of things I have been doing wrong like not lifting my chest up when taking off. Have been taking off push up style and that does not work at all!!!:))) Thanks.
Feet hanging off the board works well for shortboards but I could see where somebody new is hanging off the back off a 10'2 wondering why the waves keep passing.
do you reckon you could hang your feet off an 8'1 and still catch waves? or should be more positioned in the centre of the board?
@@rubyhenaway4660 probably have your toes on the very edge of the board, it will also make it easier to stand up on
I ride a 9'5" and my toes are right about where the leash attaches to the board.
@@aminor1950 lifeguards
Ruby Henaway it would depend on your height, legs have less mass than the upper body, so if your taller you should hang you feet of more. I've just started, I have a 8foot beginners board, I have my shins half way off the back of the board, if I don't the nose goes under every time.
Hi from New Zealand , I just had a few days in Dunedin surfing it was great , my friend teaches surfing , I'm a beginner and this video helps, thanks
Your back foot better get back to the pad if you want to turn tho
Great teaching. Thank you!
By far one of the best beginner vids- I'm going to come back to this a lot!
It’s been proven that holding your fingers slightly apart (not cupped) is more efficient and advising new surfers to paddle with long strokes is absolutely against what they should be doing. This causes them to reach and with that reach, they fail to arch their backs and use their lats - this burns out the shoulder muscles which are a lot smaller, weaker and are easily injured.
Perhaps we should have emphasise a long stroke without compromising posture but this also seems pretty logical. Will mention it next time as we agree with your point😊
The arch in your back is effected by the erector spinae lower back muscles
The lat is activated from the hyper extension of the shoulder joint.
However your point about shoulder fatigue may be true.
yeah i think humans will naturally use the most effective finger placement when swimming or paddling because it’s an instinct that has evolved to make us better at swimming.
Not arching there back won’t take their lats out of it.
kevinsUtube1 P Lats are stronger when back is arched, period.
Very good video with nice clear instructions but there is one problem. A lot of beginner surfers are starting on longboards with soft tops. This makes the position you have to take a bit different and your stance a bit wider than on a shortboard. It is also way harder to catch a green wave if youre not forward enough on your longboard if you’re pretty lightweight like me. But other than that this video was perfect
This video is perfect for this beginner who only has access to a short board with a hard tip. There are hundreds of videos for beginner longboards, not so much for shorties.
These videos are great. Focusing on good technique is a foundation for continued growth and improvement
Plenty for me to work on!
Yeah pikachu
Thank you . Will try all this
Man, I'm traveling to AUS and hopefully I'll learn how to surf (:
Thanks for the video!
You should come to our surf retreat !
Good explanation of critical steps that will help an old guy remember, get back into surfing, and make Chicama a success.
Awesome tips! These are going to help heaps!
Hola from Lima, Perú. A well designed and presented video. Great job.
Lifting up the chest as far up as you can for a split second, before jumping on the board makes all the difference in the world of ‘pop up’😀🎸 Thanks Ryan🏄🏻♂️❤️
THank you for this. As soon as you demonstrated raising your chest I puased the video and tried it on the floor. What a difference. I can't wait to try it on the water.
great video for surf beginner
Amazing!
Just looking to transition from a mid length to a fish and found this short recap of key basics including pointing out that feet hangover really useful. Going to try them out this week and see how I get on! Agree with some of the comments on the length of swim strokes etc but I think there is room for personal preference here. Thanks for putting this together.
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant video!
fantastic x1000
The most important thing to me is the pop-up. A bad pop-up is a bad habit and really hard to break once you actually learn to surf. I drag my knee. I've learned how to adjust, but every second counts when dropping into a steep fast wave. One second extra with a pop-up.... you just missed the wave and in the white water. Master a quick pop-up and you will be golden. Bad habits will label you as a kook forever even if you learn to surf. It's ugly. It's really helpful to at least learn on a long board. Thanks for the video.
88tommygunz good to know. My pop up sucks
Why is there a kook label hahah? Everybody is just trying to have fun..
Kook is just a word and we all are at one time.. yes it’s all about fun. It’s just a word, but someday when a surfboard is headed right towards your head because of a unsafe careless act (most likely from pure fun ), kook might come out of your mouth. It’s just a word but part of surfing.

nice helpful vid! just would like to add.... this is applicable for short boards, not quite the thing for a long board...
Cheers mate! Great video, always trying to learn
thanks Man ! really great inputs
Me: *lives no where near a beach*
Also me: *watches 60 videos on how to surf*
Thanks Naomi!
I make endless mistakes popping up, hands in the wrong position, getting on my knees. It’s not as easy as it looks to get it all right. Thanks for the video.
Glad it helped Kenshin!
Good advice. Thanx
Very helpful
I'm now learning and this information will help a lot🖒
Amazing and very clear pop-up demonstration.
Thanks Kyle
Very good instructions.
I love it from philippines

Yesterday i’m start to get surf in my hometown nusa dua with my friends, he help me to learn how become a good surfer 😁👍🏼🌊🏄🤙🏼it’s really fun although im too old to try this. And your video help me to fix my mistake as a beginner surfers 😁🙏🏼 thanks
Nice video thanks!
Very useful vid
this is an instant pop up, ive been struggling to use this technique thought ive been surfing over a year. i dont think it is for an adult beginner surfer
Cool Thankyou for those tips Just what I needed to fine tune and improve my chances if catching waves on my short mal board
Thanks a mil Cool Appreciate your vids Straightforward and easily understood
Went 4 a practice on soft top foamie today and it's Winter here in New ' Zealand I'm a beginner
Caught white waves and getting better at standing/crouching YAY Been surfing on and off a month now
I need work on centering + positioning my feet
Can't wait until the summer can spend more days out in the surf
Think ill hit pipe with my wavestorm this weekend thanks mate!
Enjoy
I mean, Jamie O'Brien surfed Jaws with a Wavestorm, so you could do it for sure!
Thank you so much!!!
No worries!
Great video! I have to say that I see a lot of people missing the wave because they don’t take the extra two paddle strokes, that’s another important mistake to fix.
Good point Caden!
Thanks mate🤙!
Thank you thank you this video was helpful I think I was trying to take off from a prone position now I'll practice raising my chest who knows I might win the old time as longboard tournament this afternoon LOL
Thanks for this video! will try to practice this
Good luck!
Really like that suggestion to raise chest just before pop up. Not sure if I've seen that anywhere else before.
Great to hear Chris, let me know if that helps
Currently taking surfing lessons in Venice, Ca. As far as standing up, I’m being taught to place my right knee on the board first, then bring my left knee into the center of my chest and board and then rotate into position while standing up. Im able to do that in one fluid motion but I feel like it slows me down a bit. Imma give your standup a shot. I know I’m in shape to do so and I’m sure I’ll eat sand a few times before I get the hang of it, but we’ve all been there I’m sure. Thanks for the great info my dude. Cheers from Los Angeles.
Good luck, it is definitely faster to pop straight up, but it will take some practice. Sounds like you are on the right track Josh!
if U want to surf on 12feet board that is a good school only on 12feet board haha
Thanks man yeww
👏
I am watching this after some months and I can reflect how I improved thanks to this video
How have you improved Gonzalo?
@@HowtoRip I can get more waves, I paddle with less effort, I switched to a shorter board, i noticed things I was unaware of, I took some lessons but how to rip was certainly of help
Good content! Blessings from Costa Rica ✌🏻
Same to you!
I had a habit of dragging my legs. I don’t know why but I remember a good surfer saying lift your legs up. Amazing how much easier it was to cut through the water.
That's great to hear Scott, nice work
I'm working so hard...'please let me me be a decent surfer someday soon' is what I think every time I get out on the waves. 😂
Keep practicing Maddy, with time and consistency you will get there! Just have fun :)
I was sooooo close to be able to surf pipe line before quarantine, now that the beaches are open again I feel like I’m starting at square one. Thanks for the good video tho!
Hopefully you can get back into it quickly Callie!
Thanks I just got off a long board and I’ve gone to a fish 5,6 this really helped he with my feat on such a small board
That is great to hear!
What was the size of your long board?
Jay Smith 9 foot
00:45 perfect- balanced spot.,.134 freestyle long hard strokes,. .. 1:59 paddle for longer and harder than you think you should to catch more waves
👍🤙🤙🏄
Thanks for advising me. I really would like to find out which camere you guys use for your filming and which model you guys use.?
I look forward hearing from you.
nope
Yo Guys love your videos they help me out a lot! I have a question, have you guys ever watched Blue Water High?
No. This show makes you not rip
How to Rip what do you mean?
Thanks for all these videos. They have inspired me to get a board because I have been bodi boarding for 4 years but I don’t know what surf board to get if anyone could help please do. 😀👍
Best of luck!
Daymon Gray cheers for the help. 🤙
Stay psyched and stay safe everyone!!🤙🏼🤙🏼
God bless🙏🏼🙏🏼
And you too Caden
really a great video. hope the microphone is better.
Okay I'm ready for pipe line now
Good lessons
Thanks Nayyer!
Please send me your email address
Great video for beginners, I know it's been two years already, but my 2 cents to improve here is to lower down a bit the music (especially at ~3:20), it makes difficult to hear you. Btw, great lesson, love your channel!
Thanks Luca, it has been fixed in future videos
if your going to mention paddling i think a keynote is when to start....
i see so many people lay on board still then they stat paddle as the wave is picking them up then i wachem get 2 or 3 strokes before i see them go up and through the back wave missed and blame the wave has no power..... the ones that are receptive to advice i tell them if they haven't made at least 7 strokes they started to late.....
Look at Jerry Lopez. He stands up straight at times and just rides.
classes with a kook !!
Because of you I might try surfing! Thanks bro! Also I like snow boarding.
What kind of board do you have? If I’m going to get a surfboard I don’t want to spend a lot of money but I don’t want a poorly made one either......
It’s a balance. You normally get what you pay for
Temptation is there to start bumming and just bum through life. Resist the urge! You can do it! I mean check out the constant bombardment of videos from the snowboard guys like Shredbots, compared to the overall bumming from the surf crowd.
Hey Chris, you mention having your feet just hang off the board; however, I am 5'7 and ride a 5'2. Any suggestions on positioning? Thanks!
Focus on what the front of the board is doing as long as it’s just trimming above the water you’re sweet
Most helpful video I’ve watched, thank you 👏🏻
Glad it was helpful Keely, thank you!
Love your videos guys! Still don't understand, when wave pushes me, the nose of the board goes down. even tho im at the very edge. May be I should stand up earlier. thank you for videos!
U might be too far forward on your board
If you're perfectly centered on your board and the wave isn't too steep for you, but you're still nosediving then try arching your back as much as you can. Same thing when the wave isn't pushing you, you lean forward and lower your head. If you try this, but still nosedive, maybe try standing up a little sooner.
It depends on the board. If you're on one of those super long, flat foam things you'll need to be WAY further back or done modern, hybrid fish are like that too. If you're catching white water you'll need to be at the back or a long way back no matter which board you use. You also need to paddle hard to equal the wave speed. This speed will reduce how far back you have to be if you're catching white water as the impact on you won't be as great.
I’m looking to get a shortboard. I’m 5 10 and 170lbs living in NJ what’s the proper board size?
Can you explain the mechanics and why it works to pop up like that and had a better rotate to hips?
Can do!
Can you tell me please the volume and the size of this surfboard
I really wanna know ,I found a lot of problems with my size 😅😅
My question is that in your opinion which is the best action camcorder for surfing. As there are lots of specially designed surfing cameras i would like to hear your opinion which one to pick and choose the best one out. There is this Sony AS200V Cam. GoPros off course, Sony RX0 II
, Ricoh WG-50
. And SeaLife DC2000
. These are some really good models out there in the market. Please have a look at them abd advise me accordingly which one you think is the best. I understand that you may not have a fixed opinion on this matter but, whatever advise you give me i will pay heed to it.
Hey Carl, zoom is a key factor. Have a look at cameras which excel in this area, there are many detailed reviews which should help you make a decision.
Be careful don't broken my board lol good vedio bro take offfff 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🌊
🤙🏽😰🏄🏼♂️
Good pointers except the paddling. To get max speed you have to paddle with shorter stroke. The last 25% of the stroke has minimal power. There is a good video that analyzes why Kelly Slater swims faster than other surfers.
Probably the most import topic is not discussed. Slipping off the board. The wax or pads are super important. If your feet slip off the board ask your local shop tips to make your feet stick better.
Interestingly any high level swimmer would disagree with this. Shorter strokes are inefficient. There are times during paddling when you may take shorter strokes for sure, but 90% of the time, longer is better. We can agree to disagree on this one
Did you guys go to Parsons a few days ago?
Is the raising the chest bit also to prevent nosediving?
Partly, but more so to create room for your front leg to come through. No chest lift makes it much harder!
Hi there, my board is 8'1, where should I hang my feet and roughly what tips should I consider? Thanks!
Ruby, his rule of thumb about feet hanging off the end is kind of useless. Lay on your board in the water and adjust your forward/aft position so that the tip of your board is just an inch or two above the water surface. Very slight differences in position can really affect this. If you are too far forward, the nose will dive under as you paddle. If you are too far back, you'll be plowing through the water, and will never catch a wave. Most beginners lay too far back, so the tip is too high out of the water. Hope that helps.
thank you very much! it certainly helps
Shouldn't the back foot be on the tail pad grip?
My front foot is too far back on pop up. What am I doing wrong
this video so amazing bra,actually at small waves i got it, but i want to know how to take off the waves 2feet- or more? bcause i always fall down like in the washing machine... 😂
You need to experiment with your position on the board. If you fall down and go into the washing machine you nosedive because you are too far forward. So you need to be further back. Go too far back however and you wont be able to catch the wave at all

I need work on centering + positioning my feet

Where should you hold your weight? Is it dead center split between both legs, or should one leg hold majority?
It depends on what you are doing, but for just standing up and cruising along, I would put slightly more weight forward
thank you bear grills
Are you pushing off the sand when you jump up? Any advice for how to jump up off your knees?
Jumping up is difficult and advanced. Id reccomend doing what he does first by pushing his chest up. Then moving your back foot up above your front knee (which should still be lying straigth) and then moving your front foot up, and standing up
I reallyyyyyy want to learn how to surf I’m really motivated now ! I will start soon i hope
We hope so Mia! Get out there!
I love surfing. I have been doing when I was 8 years old. And now I am 12 years old. I'm sorry that is not so good surfing place in Sweden. But I'm trying to find a place in Sweden. 😧😦😥
Nice work Sadeen! Good luck finding some surfing spots in Sweden!
I have been shortboarding for a few years...im 6'4 and when i popup my back foot,im natural,lands in front of the tailpad instead of on the pad...this makes turns difficult...i can move my foot back onto the pad after pop up but its difficult...would be nice to pupup with my foot on the tailpad...any ideas?
If you have been shortboarding for years i dont understand how you manage to surf with your back foot in front of your tailpad when you are taller than a lot of shortboards. You have surfed for so long that you just need to experiment if you have years if experience. Find out what works
Im actually a beginner too, I recently before this pandemic took a lesson. The instructor showed me how to popup. And so I did the same. He did it on an upsloap.i did it on a down slope, which was harder. But I did it twice. After an hour of water skills. We left each other. In his assessment, I was intermediate to advance. I could popup, but I had difficulty popping up during practice on the water. Paddling it was fine, givin the fact I watch surfing just about everyday. In your opinion was he wrong for taking me out to the back end/ bigger waves? After 30 minutes of killing myself I managed to popup 1 time. He said I was doing everything right, looking back at the wave before take off, everything. I just needed a coach. Someone to teach me. My worst fear before I made the opponentment was sharks. During the session I could only think of popping up. I am 6'8" tall. We went out to 6 foot deep
If you are still in the early learning stages of surfing, then I can't see why you would need to go out the back to the bigger waves. Lots of repetition popping up on smaller waves around waist deep is what I would suggest...Hard to say without actually seeing it!
