I am 76 still trying to learn an unbroken wave. Your video was the best one so far because you showed actual popups and catching the wave thank you. Coach John

This is the one thing that I’m gonna do when quarantine is over

Even though I can surf, I still watch your vids and pick up on something I could improve on.
Thanks

I really appreciated your video. Straightforward, no fluffy, easy to follow.

My biggest problems are:
1): Consistency, finding and making time to surf or unable to surf when the conditions are suitable
2): Giving waves to others ie more experienced surfers. They paddle faster, so I can't argue with them. I let them have the waves
3): My pop up - maybe it's my board or bad wave selection. Most times I somehow still have one knee on the deck. Strangely I manage to stand up, although a bit wobbly, I settle down and have a short ride
4): I pop up too late. I do not seem to be able to pop up in time. It feels like someone is pushing hard on my body until I ride the white water for a long time.

I ride Al Merrick 6'8", 21 3/4, 3" inch. Plenty of volume. I was better before. But after injuries from other sports, lack of practice, etc I have gone backwards. I am thinking of getting a 9'4" and starting again. Swallow my pride and just accept that I am a very slow progressing beginner.

Life gets in the way most times, if I surf once a fortnight, that is lucky.

Surfing has been something I've always wanted to do since watching Surf's Up as a kid. Maybe now at 23 I can try surfing out. The beaches in my area aren't locked down so hopefully soon I can get into surfing. Thanks for the video, mate.

Just sent this to a few of my mates, can't wait till this virus is over- so I can show them this amazing sport

Great videos! It took me a WHOLE year of training to go from zero to riding a green wave. BEST thing ive ever done. Stick to it, its totally worthy!! Thank you

[SuketaPatel]

Just seeing this I am addicted. Imagine when my dream finally comes true. Must do this in this lifetime. For now, freedom is skateboarding!🙏🇨🇦🌈❤️🌎

This is such a good compact and straight to the point for beginner cuz it reassures me a lot when I thought it’s too embarrassing to surf at the waist level white water zone where I was wondering if I’m doing the right thing cuz most of the people are at the line up zone way out there to catch unbroken wave.... I’m going to practice more on the white water zone before I’m confident enough to go out there! Surfing is really not easy but it just made me to try harder .... Thank you!

Just picked up a surfboard in need of TLC at the nose. Once I give it some filling and glassing I'll hopefully be able to start learning on it
