Some more common beginner surfer mistakes: living far from the Ocean, having a mortgage, working hard on the unloved job.

Great stuff! Maybe one for intermediates? Turning from the middle of the board/back foot not back far enough...sitting too far out in the line up and missing waves...sitting on the shoulder and missing the peak...pumping too much and outrunning sections and surfing too horizontal

[Chettist]

Thank you guys for making such a great content! It helps, explains and makes us better surfers who know how to surf right!

Great intro explaining progression, thanks

HAve a weird habit, apparently the heel of my back foot is spending a lot of time on the edge of the rail, every board i have had has a groove worn in on the very edge just above the tail pad. On smaller waves I can work on feeling the tail pad but on bigger faster waves it is difficult to be aware of it

Thats the best surfing I've ever seen you do Steven #togedder

[yaninasorenson]

Love your videos;) thank you!
Could you please make a video how to read/ understand surf report, tides, swells, winds, seconds between waves.

I think you guys should get someone on here that enjoys longboards. Some of us that are learning/progressing in surfing want to surf longboard and it seems like you write them off completely calling them a beginner board. Also never suggesting that style of surfing to anyone on this channel. Other then that enjoying the channel dudes

When to lean forward or shufle feet forward for trimming?

[lilyrow]

Can u do a vid on how not to run into people while they were on the wave, I don’t know probably a stupid question but anyway ;)

[wennessa]

I’m a total beginner and I’m so lost on which position on the ocean that I should be at... I struggled so hard to get past the incoming waves but I just couldn’t get to the lineup zone... So I was just at the white water zone and also somewhere where the waves are breaking... is it a good place for beginner to start at the white water zone?

[HUNK]

Hello thanks for the video! Very clear the explanations!
Can you give us more details about the famous hight volume fish board like the dimensions? Cause I would like to start learning that skills ( turning, choose left side or right one...) thank you
