3 REASONS YOU SURF TOO SLOW ON A WAVE | Surfing Lesson

Speed flow is one of the most important surf techniques to perfect in your surfing journey. It provides a foundational underpinning to the rest of your surfing progression which is why it's become an important part of The Surfer's Roadmap.

Let's cover some common mistakes that I see as a professional surf coach and how you can correct them for faster surf progression!

It is the most effective learning pathway for progressing your surfing from beginner through to intermediate with a structured, reliable roadmap to follow.

What I realized is that the "first" pump is crucial to start with good flow and speed related to the wave. I work each time on taking off on a compress position after the pop up and imidiately pump up to the higher 3rd of the wave and then point the nose to the beach to keep speed rail to rail. The challenge is that as a beginner this "first pump" doesn't come out optimally every time, but when it does, oh boy, it opens up a "door", very addictive. Thanks for the channel!

Me and my Dad watch your surfing tutorials together, even though he's got about 20 or so more years of experience then me we still learn a lot. Keep up the good work dude!

I watching this video yesterday before surfing and it instantly helped me! Thank you! I do have a tip from one coach to another. It can be confusing to talk about knee and back bend for some people. Talking and bending your ankles really helps to get people into the desired, athletic position.

Keep up the great work, I am beyond grateful to have such amazing coaching at my finger tips!

NICE!!!! The tip on grabbing the dirt and throwing it over the wave is HUGE!!!

[chrisonthebeach]

Thanks for the backhand tip mate. I was struggling on that one. I'll try it out.
I remember the tip from the smooth star team: "scoop and clap" haha. Worked quite well

Great video. Something that may be useful is looking at martial arts and the way body movements and principles transfer to surfing. Like body compression, weight distribution, drawing and directing power from the hips, keeping the arms tight to the body, foot position, ect. Keep up the great video and cheers.

Really helpful to see the basics performed by a good surfer on a foamy. I frequently go back to larger boards to work on maneuvers and find that the technique work translates well. I don't think people spend enough time really mastering midlengths and logs before jumping to high performance thrusters, which is a mistake.

Well done, this will help many many surfers out there!

bro your helpin me much with my surf progresion that I should be paying you like this is not okay

[ivydune]

those visualizations might be helpful...scoop the dirt, jump, throw it behind the wave. I think I don't compress as much as I think I'm compressing. Knowing my hand should almost touch the wave will help me correct that. I'm really struggling with pumping...

[charlesbarnett]

Brilliantly explained as ever . Thanks

Top tips as always Kale. At the start I was like, "Uh-ho, at the pool again Kale" but then I realised that because it gives a much more controlled and predictable ride, it helps your analysis and it's far easier to see and understand what you're talking about for us. So thanks heaps :-)
