- How to surf from intermediate to advanced... it's a stage where many, many surfers find themselves these days as they navigate this journey without much advice or guidance.
Transitioning from those frustrating surf moments on a wave where you bog rail or miss a turn you know you should have made, and finally discovering the movements and body positions to help you power through turns sending spray to the sky!
In this episode we’re going to show you how to get from that intermediate stage all the way through to advanced - now this isn’t going to be easy, but with the right guidance and some really helpful transition exercises we are going to get there!

Thanks Noah 😁😁
Please do more advanced videos this is great re turn breakdowns etc
Exactly exactly exactly I agree.
He is getting the recognition he deserves, lots of views inspite he is not a professional surfer, great channel though, cheers Noah and Kale.
WONDERFUL EXPLANATIONS! THANKS MATE YOU ARE THE BEST . REALY APPRECIATE YOUR WORK !
Nice tips. From watching this, I can see I really gotta keep my shoulders open more! Cheers for the info :)
Pure gold! Thanks for sharing these videos Kales! Huge fan here.
Thanks so much Kale your breakdowns are so helpful!
Great! It is exactly what I need now! Any possibility to analyze the difference between different bodyshap surfers? Like a tall one to a short one? A thin one to a big one? Thanks so much! (I am a short type, like 164cm and 62kg)
Rad video! Hope you are good during this pandemic and thanks for sharing the techniques to make us better surfers 🙌
This video is just what the doctor ordered because I'm still working on getting down the line from the start. I'm starting to go down a line but towards the end of the ride but because of this video I'll understand how to be aware of what the wave is doing so I can start to move up and down the way vertically and thank you for this help.
Great. Very good. Thank you to shared you experience.
This is just one of the best tutorials I've ever seen! So dang quality
Incredibly well structured explanations and lovely visual aids! I've needed a video like this for a long time! Thanks Kale, keep it up!
Thank you!!
2 minutes in, Subscribed, rang the bell, liked the video, and watched with supreme excitement for finding my new surf mentor online. In one video you helped me up my game so much. Addicted. LoL
Great teacher!!!congrats Bro🤟✌️🔝good job ,good lessons, youre blessed🙏
this helps in ways no other channels do. keep up the good form. hi from venezuela
Nice tips!! Thks Broccoli!
Another great video Kale! Really liked the wave analysis and what you are looking at for deciding what kind of turn to throw👌 Looking forward to the next one!
Yesewww!! Thanks Tibo!!
Awesome! Great breakdown of the technical elements. Stoked to go and try them!!
🙌🏽
Kale - you are so professional. Feels like I know you soooo well. Watched moats your videos from South Africa. Keep it up. Can’t be easy. Thanks for helping up with some quality distinctions 👊🏻
Thanks so much man!!!! Appreciate that!!
Awesome video !! Right what I’m trying to improve at the moment. You’re a legend kale. Back knee pointing forward and chin always in the same line with your front knee are tips I’ve also found very helpful when it comes to turns. Cheers
Thanks so much Freddy!
Mate! The virtual surfing part of this vid when you explain the parts of the wave and what move should be performed on that particular part from your viewpoint is a game changer for me. You make it crystal clear. Awesome, thank you!
Thank you
Another awesome video!!! You really inspirer me with every video to get out there and try new things to take my surfing to the next level. I've only been surfing 9 months and your videos have really helped me progress. Hopefully I'll meet ya on one of your surf retreats soon.
That’s awesome brother !! Keep it up!
Best video yet! Really great job. Thanks!
Thanks brother 🙌🏽🤙🏽
Hey Kale, thank you so much for all the hard work you put into your videos and tutorials. I've learnt to surf from your tutorials over the past 18 months and you've broken down every single step of the journey I always have a reference point to look back to for my current progression. Are there plans to release the longevity film online as well in the future? Would love to see it and being UK based it sucks not being able to make a screening!
Try some longboarding or bigger midlenght boards, you have trow yr whole body in to it, to do nice turns and maneuvers.
best video breakdown ever! thanks Kales!
Thank you!!
Best one yet dude. Love it. Keep em coming!
Thank you!!!
Exactly what i need right now! Great video 😃
Thanks!! Glad it helped !
I had previous questions you have not responded but now I know how you answer those queries. Psyched! Thanks for sharing broooooooOOO!
awesome!!! No worries! I try to answer as many Qs as I can! :)
You're vid quality has progressed from intermediate to advanced.
Very well articulated advice.
Keep it coming dude
Thanks brother 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I’m from Valencia (Spain), I discovered surf in Byron Bay last summer. Still in my 7-8th session. Going from beginer to intermediate (I guess). Your videos just make me want to go living there 😄😓. Great vives you bring☀️
😁😁🏄🏼♂️💦🥗🥦
Bali the place to progress mate
Just want to say thank you for making all these awesome videos 🤙🤙
Thanks Sam!!!
You're videos are always great! I surf from many years as a professionist, but I see that lots of things you never stop to learn. And you videos are very good to explain some technical things that sometimes can be very useful! ;)
I get a question for you: I see many pros take off by put hands on the board, others grab the rails. I've try both but I feel more better with the seconds (for example Fanning is a famous one that do it). What you think about? Would you talk in a video?
Some nice clips of Lowers in there...
Great video Kale! Congrats from Argentina!
Thanks mate!!
Great, detailed advice
Plenty for me to work on, to raise my surfing game
I love this game 🤙
awesome! The best game!
Been loving your videos lately Kale your channel is really gaining some traction
Thanks Tys!! Love ya work!
@@KalesBroccoli Thanks Kale I got big things coming been working on a killer new series for a while should be out in the next month or so
THIS IS FRIKKIN EPIC! big thanks!
Thanks Tyler!
Man, you really deserve more subs. These (and the ones on 'How to Rip') vids helped me out a lot. Thanks for making this so accessible
Thanks Daniel!! Any sharing is appreciated!! :)
@@KalesBroccoli oh yeah, I share these a lot. One of my friends and I always go bacj and forth with your vids man. Keep up the great work
Thank you!! You are helping my son and me improve our surfing a lot. We are waiting for more ... ;-)
Awesome!
Amazing videos
I’m so glad you made a clip explaining this because this was exactly what I needed! I’ve been watching a lot of clips from others point of view surfing on a wave through gopro just to see what kind of turns they are doing on different sections. Mostly on small to medium waves. It helps as if I was there on the wave too. I wouldn’t mind seeing more of that! And maybe adding some of your failed attempts. Love your energy and vibes. Thanks again!
But my failed attempts hurt me to watch 😫😂
Thanks for tuning in!! Xx
Kales Broccoli lol no biggie! If you get the chance you make a clip in the future on the best section to try to attempt an air rail grab? I would like to try it eventually! Thanks and stay safe!
You have improved your surfing a lot yourself. I think training on surf skateboard was the key helping to transition and controlling into multiple turns without losing momentum.
🙌🏽
Greetings from Spain! , your videos are awesome
Gracias!!
Yes yes yes yes yes thank you thank you thank you thank you!
Ay love surfing ❤️tnks💪🤩
I like the videos on your Chanel so much better kale. I dunno, your definitely the star lol and it's kinda vlogish and love you 🤗🥰.
😍🥦
Awesome! Thanks for your videos. I always think about these whenever I go in the ocean.
Thanks 🙏
Lots of useful analogies and mental models here. But in reality the thing that generates speed on a wave is your center of gravity moving from a higher point to a lower point (to a much lesser degree, the forward speed of the wave towards land plays a role. But since waves are sloped, being "higher" equates to being "further back" on the wave's path, so they're one and the same). All the compression and extension really amounts to is "jumping" up the wave and then riding down it. When done properly it looks smooth, like that speed is being generated from within the surfer's legs or something. But it's all just gravity. It's the same as pumping a skateboard on a vert ramp or a mountain bike on a pumptrack.
Legend thank you!
Thank you!!
Good video! Only the "physics" of the speed generation sounded quite voodoo. I can suggest looking at videos of skateboarders pumping half-pipes, they sometimes explain it quite well.
Great job mate. Loved this one. Thought the Casey Neistat one was great also - lots of mileage in doing this for other surfers (both beginner and advanced). Keep up the good work :-)
Great video .. oh man do you surf in some crowded lineups ! Australians are mad for it
Hiya! Thank you for the video! I have tried surfing a couple of times, I did a “surf camp” for a week in the UK like 6 years ago and was trimming along a green wave on a hard board by the end of it.. fast forward to last year and I went a couple of times in France with a foamie and only stood up now and then. The fitness levels have definitely declined!
I’d be interested in the “surf retreat” you mentioned - I’m thinking of taking a year out from everything in a few months to travel and would love to give surfing another proper go. I’ve looked into surf camps in Bali and Sri Lanka, and luckily I’m still young enough for a working holiday visa for Oz so that’s also what I’m thinking of!
If you could recommend any camps that do daily lessons and could do more than a month, or have a discount for block bookings (I’m thinking it’s something I’d like to give at least a good 3 month shot at).
Any advice would be appreciated really!
Katie :)
Top vid as usual Kale thanks! Question- what skateboard do you recommend? Will any cruiser do (around 28 inch)? Jon from sunny UK
hi Kales, been watching your videos. amazing job! I have one question for you, what advice could you give to a Surfer who´s regular in surfing and goofie in skate and snowboarding. By the way i´m 47 and im surfing almost 30 years... :) thanks cheers!
I have a question. I think I am at that point where I am popping up confidently, getting on my feet quickly 95% of the time. I have been riding a 7'6" and I want to continue to do so, but I would also like to try a shorter board to challenge myself a little. I am 5'10", 150 pounds. I mostly ride shore breaks and I stay away, for the moment, from waves higher than 6. So mainly 5 foot waves and smaller. What would be a good volume and dimensions to start trying a shorter board on summer waves? thanks!
best Everrr .
🙌🏽🙌🏽
*Flow flow flow!*
In theory these all make great sense and makes me feel like I can nail it the next time I’m in the water but in practice it all just falls apart 😅 gotta get more of that practice in lol
Get a skate board and practice, bunch of ways to make surf skate board that helps a lot. Other than that you just need more time in the water.
Hey Kale, great meeting you out at Lowers last week. Surfed this morning, super fun! Guys, Kale rips in person too!
thanks Rod!! Legend good to meet ya!
What skateboard brand are you using? Thanks.
I know I'm late to the party with this but could you recommend some surf trainer skateboards that you personally think work best?
You have the coolest hats
thanks! haha
@@KalesBroccoli Of course. Keep shredding bro!
can you post more videos of you just paddling into waves (even if it misses). need some idea of positioning and when to attempt to paddle into waves, esp on steep ones.
Sure I’ve got a positioning video coming soon
Great stuff! Question - I notice you slide your rear foot back on the board when coming up from a pump on the trough of a wave (5:19), does your weight stay primarily on front foot even though your stance has widened, or do you put more weight onto that back foot?
In the turn Blackfoot
hi Kales , question: when the waves are higher (and stronger) , should I wait for the wave to arrive and give a couple of paddles when it arrives to me ? or shall I paddle in advance in order to match the coming wave speed ?
Depends how quickly you can paddle I like to face the wave as long as possible - positioning video coming soon
@@KalesBroccoli I always wonder what differnce of paddle technique advanced surfers have? Or is it just power they get over the years?
Thanks for all the help Kale 👍. I was just wondering, you’ve stated in a previous vid that you ride a 5.6 wraptor, how tall are you? And do you think the length is that important in short boards as opposed to volume?
I’m about 5’10 I think volume is the most important factor until you become a high level surfer where shape starts to come into it :)
Kales Broccoli: thanks again.
Any tips on wetsuit selection coming into the cooler months in Oz? I usually wear a West wetsuit (3/2), but I'm looking at moving onto a more sturdy wetsuit. I've heard good things about Ripcurl Flashbomb Heatseeker wetsuits, but am worried about the loss of comfort and flex that other wetsuits have (West are great wetsuits in my opinion, just not very long lasting). Tips?
Normally they reflect the pricing :) although Needs Essentials are pretty cheap and quality
Coming from other sports (mtb, skating) this mostly sounds like pumping - including turns.
Hi Kale, saw you had a Sunova. I got a 6’3 SX for Christmas. What do you have.
This one is a Boss
Soy principiante en el surf... Y fam xe tus videos...
Que pena que no estén traducidos con subítulos en español ....
Could you make a Video how to Improve your Surfing on a Smooth star and how to learn different movements on the Wave?😁🤤
Because I haven’t committed to any single brand of surf trainer I probably won’t do brand specific videos yet :)
@@KalesBroccoli this stage of video is very good,please make more if poss and again if possible could you breakdown very specific techniques for each type of turn etc. Ta
Great Stuff guys. Thanks for these videos. Where are you guys about? Are you in OZ? Just asking out of curiosity.
Oz
Yes
Hey fellow SA buddy! Cool video! I’ve moved to landlocked Europe to chase a dream... hence I have no waves but a long river with a long smooth path :). What surf-trainer skateboard do you recommend?
Whichever one you can get your hands on 😁
dam bro I can surf 6ft and balance real good n go down the line real good but get stuffed if I know how to do sharp turns but I think it's a mixture of feet position, arm position body and where I'm looking
grreaat
can you do more air tutorial videos?
Eventually
One big thing i didn't hear mentioned was foot placement. Positioning is very different between a speed section and a turning section. Sorry if this was subscription level info 😉
when i grow up i wanna be like Kale Broccoli
🥦
Do you think surfing 5' softops as n 90kg surfer is improving?
If you’re having fun sure!
@@KalesBroccoli its harder than my 511 Graham smith shortboard but I still get called a kook for whipping it out
10:43 onwards 🙌
Your video are interesting but there one missing thing which is very important, and it's hard to show on video .
It's how the rail roll and what the inclinaison of the rail should be during a manoeuver , at my level im stuck figuring out the inclinaison i need to perform on certain manoeuver , roundhouse cut back for exemple , carve and so on. If you can model this with a line or something during your video it's would be really nice or make a video about it . it's what im missing to gain in radicality and it's a step in the way of learning to get better.
This is a side effect of performing the body movements correctly
first yas Kales
Yew!!
Kale
i watched this when is was a beginer
😍
“Take a couple of months” = assumes conditions are consistent. If not… years
Fantastic video Kale 🔥🔥🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️ Except for the wetsuit and clothes 😎
clothes protect me from even more online abuse hahaha
@@KalesBroccoli never 😂😂 Nudity is freedom 🤙🤙
Pretty decent, not your if you weight distribution is correct, I’m at least 70% on my forehand snaps and 80% on my backhand. Maybe I’m wrong but it feels so much better🤔🤔🤔
1:26, with people being cut by fins like that, you want me to go into the water to surf?
5:00, again.
🎉😎👍
First
the guy using the red board had like no flow it was like a stick figure
Skating barefoot!?
Yeah!
gym guy instagram link?
Kales, sorry I’m out... too many adds
CZcams automatically placed these and, importantly, that’s how your free viewing generates an income for me to be able to continue providing videos for you
All my mates surf better than this vegetable lol
Wow
clickbait
