Wished someone told me to always cover my head when falling when I started! Also, don’t come up too soon after falling. And come up with one hand in front of your face incase the board might be coming towards you.. I’ve gotten hurt before :p All very helpful tips in this video!

Paddling out like crazy on a foamie to get to that approaching wave before it lips over. Now that's a workout.

On my 16th birthday in Maui Hawai, I landed head first in a coral reef that hit my face. I almost died because I fainted and was drowning but some locals saved me. I ended up with deep wounds on my face but with creams and no sun for a year I have no scars. This really traumatized me and I never surfed again ... maybe one day I’ll try again one day

I got caught in a rip current one time. You hear about them but until you’re in one you really can’t understand how powerful they are. The one that got me actually took me under water, it didn’t seem like I was under for a couple seconds and when I came up I was a good 100 yards out from shore. It was wild.

I’ve lived in California for many years and have never learned. Think I’m going to give it another go this summer.

My Dad used to surf but it wasn't anything I ever asked about. Thanks for making this so informative and approachable! I hope someday soon after quarantine I can give it a chance. Until then I'm stuck on land with a skateboard to "practice".

All those people commenting that there's no ocean where you live ... Take a vacation!

I'm in Hawaii right now on a 2-week quest to learn surfing. Staying in only one island, Oahu. I signed up for professional surfing lessons in Waikiki, Honolulu.

Today we went out at Kahanmoku Beach, where we kept paddling what seemed to me to be deep into the ocean, but turns out the water was shallow enough that I could just stand in the water.

My coach said that's why they brought me there - I'm a total beginner.
(And I'm a worse swimmer - can't even get my breathing right, and run out of stamina within a minute of swimming. Can't properly tread water, etc.. But none of that mattered here.

If you choose to visit, reach out to Kimo at Hawaii Surf Guru. My coach is Mooch.

Im from Puerto Rico I’ve been skating for a while and i just started my surf journey two days ago with a foamie and i already love this. Looking forward to get more into it

[lorlopez]

i’ve been to like 3 surf camps and finally got my own board. then right when i get it, corona happens and the beaches close smh

[madbros-r-us]

Rule #1: before you buy the board, buy the roof rack to mount the board onto 🤣

I just started surfing today and I got trapped under my surfboard for like 20 seconds, I don’t take big waves any more

[elainemazer]

By far the most intuitive, detailed and well-presented videos for the beginning surfer I have found. Please keep it up!

[camii]

Im 13 and im a surfer! I live it and these tips are really good and would be helpful for beginners. I started “surfing” at 3 years old but actually fought my first waves at 6 or 7

[babooo]

you have so far the best surf videos for learning purposes. I really took advantage of it!

[chickensoup]
