How Beginner Surfers Get To An INTERMEDIATE LEVEL

"I can stand up, now what?". This is a question commonly asked by surfers who can stand up and ride the whitewater, but want to take their surfing to the next level. In todays lesson I explain exactly what you have to do to achieve this goal!

Man those waves are perfect. I wish the waves in my area we're like that

The number one thing holding up my progression is the popularity of the beaches where I surf. I practice my pop ups at home, I exercise, I watch all these vids, but when it comes to paddling for the unbroken waves my mind isn't really focused on what I've learnt, but rather 'Am I taking someone else's turn on this wave? Am I going to drop in on someone in this position? Am I going into that bodyboarder?' Sometimes it seems the only safe bet as a learner is to sit on my board and watch the others.

I caught a great wave at the weekend, popped up beautifully, only to see I'd dropped in on some guy. I quickly bailed off backwards but my legs catapulted the board into the air straight into his direction, took him out too. I'm not making any friends down there :-D

Dude I am so jealous of those perfect waves, and they are far out not a shorebreak

This video was exactly what I needed! Because of the many many other videos I’ve watched of yours I’ve learned how to pop up and catch unbroken waves but I’ve always gone straight. I’m just learning to trim and I think this will help a lot!

Also, as you guys recommended I switched from a 8’ foamie to a 5’7 fish (which I thought would be too small ) and I can actually pop up and ride 9/10 times. Thanks a ton guys!

Awesome tutorials! I started surfing this summer in east spain and its been a huge improvement since i'm watching this videos! I am so grateful to both of you, sharing your knowledge and this amazing sport.

I love the videos!! anyway we can get some more vids for intermediate/advanced surfers?

[markstangable]

Thanks. Man I wish we had computers when I was young learning. However at 60 on a longboard so many years later these videos are very helpful. I never think I know everything. Great direction.

Thank you thank you thank you. The value guys add to the circle Community is amazing and Beyond reproach and it's amazing that you guys are doing that because it's so helpful and I appreciate it thank you for future content because I will always be watching. If you're a beginner Surfer and not sure if you should watch these guys videos, make no further they do a great job on every level of explaining surfing and this is by far the best Channel explaining all aspects of surfing that's on the internet and on YouTube.

What a beautiful man though ❤️ took your advice and turned for the first time this week! Time to shred it!

[lukeryan]

Hi guys. Good video, thanks. I'd love a video on how to do 360s on the surface of a wave. On your forehand. Body movement, wave section, board choice, how to practise for it on land etc.

[kaylaclay]
