- This may sound like something super simple but implementing these surf tips will improve your surfing.
I believe the take off and pop-up are the most important factors to getting the most out of any wave, especially faster waves.
I hope this episode helps! Thanks for watching. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll see you on the sand.

Surfing steep and fast waves is the toughest part about surfing. I went to HB and found myself either too late or too early. It's frustrating but I'm determined to master it.
Keep pushing! Getting in early is key
When I was still beginning I was told by a really good friend of mine to try cup my hands slightly when paddling and not only to obviously dig deep but kinda push water slightly underneath my board too. That helped me a lot!!
“frustrating” is an understatement. I despise surfing right now but just to say fuck you to the ocean I’m not quitting
I used to pearl (nose dig) Everytime in Kona..I dove out to not get hit..never got hurt!
Just bring the nose up with back foot pressure? Some Hawaiians would take off at an angle behind da peak on a twin fin or 3 fin..Aloha
I feel you
Same here!
Nice video... But you miss the most important tip of all that explains why people miss timming the wave. Has you paddle to the wave ALWAYS LOOK AT WAVE AND WERE YOU WANNA GO AS YOU DROP. You got to have your eyes always focus at the wave and this is what makes you connected to the wave has this wave you get your timming right. Many times people miss the wave , paddle to much or less or are in the wrong position because they aren't looking enough at the wave. Training that posture and you will improve a lot... Your wave catch will sky rocket.
Another thing that people do wrong when catching a wave is that they wanna pop up quickly that they do it to soon. You have to be fast but do it the right way and that is when you create speed and the board is stable, that comes with the flow that generated in the last 1 or 2 strokes, head up, chest open, looking were you wanna go and for a split of a second let the board flow... and finally pop up!
Concordo totalmente contigo. Este vídeo é um click bait. Na realidade, o teu comentário é mais interessante que o vídeo.
THIS! I started surfing a couple months ago in Caparica, Portugal and until now I've been going straight to shore. Yesterday a guy in the lineup said to me "just look wherever you wanna go". Instant improvement! First try, I rode along the wave.
@@cristobaljimenezvancauwela9181 Just keep improving and training that momentum when looking at the wave while paddling and your wave count will skyrocket. You will find later that you even can stall for a bit of a second just before the popup (this gives your the oportunity to stabe the board and your body alignment). Good waves to you... 🤙
@@MrJMHP Excellent, I've seen some people staying in 'cobra position' for a second before the pop up. I'll try it next time. Thanks man!
@@cristobaljimenezvancauwela9181 yes! Enjoy a lifetime of stoke x
What a great video, Brad! Please make more of these technique breakdowns
Stoked. I just posted one on getting more speed. Hope you like that one.
Absolutely
I just Sub'd cause of your 🏄♂️ surfnalysis! I 2nd and 3rd motion you do more! Please! 👌
@@BradJacobson do another video but no turns please!
i second this!
watched this last night and applied the technique shown at 9:45 onward, and i just had the session of my life. had a good 5 long rides purely because of staying super high. intermediate surfer (1 year). thanks for the vid man!!
Love to hear it!
Casey Neistat just casually catching some tips from Brad.
WHY WAS NO ONE ELSE NOTICING THAT
Hah, yeah it's really that Neistat CZcamsr guy :D
What where?
I live in Florida, if I can stand up and ride whitewash for 5 seconds straight I’m stoked
Yep, me too!
Love this. I am a beginner surfer, and this was really helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
1:24 - scary in the lip!! love your video Brad
This is excellent. I LOVE seeing the contrast between the regular surfers and the more advanced surfers. This really helps
Haley, I am a beginner looking for folks to learn with. Would you be interested
Definitely one of the best breakdowns I’ve ever seen, great video
these are so helpful and it makes me visualize my mistakes on pops/paddles. please make more!
Thanks. I just posted on one getting more speed. Hope you like that too.
I love the breakdown. I live at a break here in Brazil and film a lot and no matter the crowd it is very easy to pick out whose catching waves by the paddle. Great video!
Thanks! More are coming.
Great Video! really helpful MORE MORE MORE please.
Nice i'll start applying this tips ASAP!
thanks for sharing. Now it's time for my to try all you told us in this video. That's the most difficult part for me 🤣🤣
Brad, someone below said to make more of these videos. I agree. This is excellent. Also, I grew up surfing in So Cal. Stopped in my early twenties (and I was an above average surfer). Then no surfing for easily close to thirty years. Two things against me... to an extent, age, though I'm in excellent shape and living in NY which makes things way more difficult (short season and limited spots.... I'm not big on Rockaway, as it's all lefts). If you have any suggestion at all out of this long post, I'm open to any constructive feedback. Btw, riding a 7'6" board as I never learned on short boards. Love your videos.
Thanks. Unfortunately I’m not very familiar with the spots in NY. Wish I could be more help
One of the most helpful surging videos ever! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Super helpful video. You have a way at explaining things 🤙
make more of these brad!
Thanks! I just posted one on getting more speed. Hope you like that one.
What I tell all beginners that I meet is to drop at 2:00 or 10:00 since they are not good at bottom turning, that way they can ride the waves and start cutting on it from the drop. Do they pay attention to my advise, most of them not and they won't learn. I've seen them surfing after a couple of years and still go straight down on the white wash.
Loved this video, the repetition of pop up quick was great reminder, also your commentary is funny
A ray of light. Great video. Thank you🎈🎈
Thanks for watching
Well done. Super helpful. Thank you!
Stoked it was helpful.
Hey Brad, excellent examples! Thanks!
My pleasure!
Great video! You do a fantastic job with all of your vids!!! Thanks! 👍🏼👍🏼
Pretty good video posted. Thanks a lot. I live in puerto escondido oax mex. No surfing no life. All the best to your channel & life.
Enjoyable Great video ! Thanks !👍❣✌!
Amazing! Tks!
I've been a photographer for decades now and always wanted to be an ocean/surfing photographer. It sounds like an amazing experience.
It’s really fun. 👍
5:00 caisy naistat. Lil hard to spell for me, no auto correct
i laughed at the end 😂😁. nice job. like!
So helpful esp. since you showed both the pros and the intermediates.
Thanks! Stoked it was helpful.
Great tips! Thank you.
Thanks for watching.
Best video tutorials around. No doubt!
Thanks!
Great explanation.
Great breakdowns, really helpful and informative, thanks! 🌊🏄♂️🤙🏻😃
Stoked I could help
Amazing video Brad! Very helpful!! Please consider making the same video but showing back side techniques
Thanks! The backside concept is a great idea.
Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks for watching.
Thank you my friend
Much love from PNW
Thanks!
Great video!!! Very helpful, knowledgeable, and easy going 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 loved it.
The random surfer in 3:57 is Casey Neistat 😂
Yeah. We're friends but I didn't want to call him out :)
Dude this is a great video glad it made it to my recommended page
Stoked you found it!
Biggest pop up issues are look where you want to go not straight down.
I see this all the time with beginner to intermediate level surfers.
Good surfers, we stagger the hands which opens our chest to allow space to bring our legs through.
Thanks a lot , it reall helps!
Glad it helped!
this video gets me SO excited
I want to go to the beach TOMORROW
but gotta wait for the weekend T__T
Really helpful thank you 🤙🏽
No problem 👍
Thanks bro❤️🔥✝️John 3
LOL Brad surfer at 4:04 is Casey Neistat haha!
Solid vid Brad!
Thanks!
Great video
Awesome channel! Subscribed!
dude the guy @ 1:35 probably got really hurt. That looked gnarly as hell
I LIKE VIDEO BREAK DOWN !! THANKS !!
This is a great video. I think you could do something similar for old surfers. I know a lot of older guys that haven't learnt how to be rickety and still get to their feet. I can't tell them but you might.
1:16 old mate about to cop it in the chops.
also if u wanna get barreled good and ur not that deep pop up later to almost go over the falls but instead u stall the take off in control
Awesome tips and video 🤠
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great vídeo. I would like to see more like this pls
Thanks. More are coming.
Brad,
I really enjoyed your videos I have been surfing since about 1963 and have had many enjoyable sessions with friends on Marta's Vineyard where I live all up and down the East Coast also in Santa Cruz and up north at Dillon Beach and in Costa Rica I want to keep surfing as long as I can.
What I am facing now is I am wearing out my body I just had my left hip replaced and both knees a few years back I find it is getting much harder to pop up quickly like I used to. I was wondering if you could give some video instructions for older surfers for improving wave count and ways to modify your take-off besides using a walker. I have had to give up on some of my breaks due to them being too steep take-off and just not being able to pop up fast enough, thanks, Chas.
This is a great idea! I’ll put something together soon
Nice!!
Nice analysis... Always listen to the photographer !! ;D
Thanks!
Man this has helped me so much. I used to do this but stopped surfing for years and since I’ve come back lost my confidence . Was at a beautiful overhead A frame beachie recently that was steep and fast and kept not going for waves because I had forgotten how fast I could be if I stayed high.
Good tips. in my first yt vid u could see that I didn’t get in the steep part of the wave on one wave, if I did that I would’ve got barreled but instead the lip hit my head.
Kid, good! I`m you fan!
Thanks!
Take off is actually the major skill in surfing... With paddling for hours.
Bro few things you missed, 3:13 he popped up with his hand in the front of the board, his other hand in the wave, and he put most of his weight on his front toes.
great video !
Thanks!
Correction: 7:18 Sometime, it's best to not turn the board, go straight first, then hit a bottom turn using the speed from the take-off. If the wave is powerful enough, even throw a turn after the bottom turn.
nice video!
Guys I tried surfing the other day … it looks so easy, Well it was the hardest thing I’ve tried to do lol didn’t even get up but can’t wait to get back and ride a wave
Keep pushing!
great vid Brad, lots of useful knowledge. Would consider playing in slowmo, rather than skipping backwards and forwards with the mouse, for future tutorials : )
we call example # 1 - knifng the entry
Very good video
Thanks
Nice
4:45 is that Casey Niestat??!!
yes lol
8:23 i think i see a big fish
Haha “just ask chandler”
4:50 a lot of professional surfer place back foot first . Watch slowmotiom pop up videos . It s the speed and coordination for that how many y steps . Some pro free surfer do that as well . Whatever gets you up fast and without twerking and losing speed works .. we are all built differently ( another reason why some are pros at sports and others are not )
poor Casey Neistat
Haha thought it was him
Ok great vid but 2 things...1. You don't turn your board when your paddling for a wave and starting to drop in, you drop in at an angle, you should already have read the wave knowing it's a right or left and then angle your board to drop into the wave which has the better open face etc, 2. Is that a shark in the water right beside the guy dropping in at 8:23?
wooo!
Hey Brad , when you get good , you don't even 'pop-up' . You tuck your board under as you ' drop' . Popping up is usually done by novices in small surf . 'A' ole pilikia .
Did you ever make a video on etiquette?
I was trying to find a video to help with my airs then you laughed at me 😂
Lol that's Casey Neistat who's struggling
The second surfer has the unmistakably massive brow bone of none other than Casey Neistat
Yep
What about point or reef breaks
Is it me or is the guy in the second example Case Neistat 🤔 white g-shock and everything.
Well, ive had couple teacher who telle me the exact opposite like:
Step 1 pop off and drop down
Step2 once you at the bottom you do THE bottom turn
Idk 🤷♂️
Depends on the wave. If it’s a fast wave and you drop in straight it will pass you by.
3:56 isn't that random surfer Casey Neistat? lmao
Something is in the wave at the 8:25 mark behind that surfer. Shark, dolphin or another surfer? As others have noticed going back.
Did you get all of the knowledge from photography or do you also surf? Amazing video anyway
I surf but I learn way more from filming and editing.
That left Travis is on looks like my home break
poor dude getting hit in the face by a longboard at 1:17
from the surfer's perpesctive, the reason why you can't lean into the wave hard is that your board is too slow or wide
8:23 I saw a shadow of the a shark in your video. I don't have sure, but you can check it.
Brat is a great video too, I also do paddle surf ,Can you make something for the paddle surf Be awesome take care👏👏🤙🤙🤙🤙🏄♂️
Why is it though that when your out there, its so hard to imagine where it is you are, as everything happens so fast.!
Any advice to me?
