    The expense of a surfboard is a barrier for most people. The expense of a thick full body wet suit might coast you more than the board. Surfing expensive. But don't even think about skiing/snowboarding if you can't afford surfing. PS, I am a broke ass loser.

    Comedy. A non surfer giving surf instruction. So, most of those waves unable to be caught, looked like when the Tide and Water is too much for the Break and the Wave never actually breaks, making it Impossible to catch. Good times. And What a Great upper body workout at the same time. Go Surf. Have some fun. Be nice in the water.

    When you feel the power of the wave and it allows you to do cutbacks or carves, that’s when you know. At least for me. I used to surf cause it was a way to get ahem *the opposite sex* lol. Now I surf to feel that experience of doing that bottom turn or pumping down the line generating speed to do your next maneuver. I genuinely feel the ocean is my favorite escape from all the stresses of the world. Oh and awesome video and perspective. Aloha 🤙

    Be conscious of the crowd and who is out there with you. Starting to notice a lot of beginners in cali going to intermediate spots. These guys like to turn and paddle for EVERY wave that comes through, even if there are way better surfers already in position or that have been waiting longer Instead of putting your head down and paddling for every wave that comes through, you should probably sit a little inside and watch what the better surfers are doing. I'm pretty good myself but I'll still gauge the crowd, stay out of advanced surfers' way and sometimes won't go out at that spot if I don't see guys around my skill level catching waves. Just my 2-cents because I see a lot of beginners watch these positioning tips videos, then they go out paddling around/ past other surfers for waves and don't realize that its disrespectful to do

    ONE MORE BONUS TIP: Regarding the idea of landmarks you can also use a coordinate system where you use objects not only behind you but on your left and right hand side. For inctance pick a palm tree or building on the beach behind you and then to your left or right use a rock jutting out of a headland at the end of the bay or a pylon on a pier. Anything works so long as you can quickly identify angle changes when the current takes you so often narrow of warped objects work best.

  • @janblom5729
    @janblom5729 11 дней назад

    BONUS TIP: One other thing i’ve learned over the years at beach breaks is when you paddle out and your unsure of where to sit take note if a series of in between set waves consistently stand up a little shallower but in line with where you are sitting since it is often a sign of a sand bar. This was a huge game changer for spots even like lower trestles being a reef break (you’d know if you surfed it) when the waves at times would swing wide or the peak would shift slightly, but it is often that the smaller waves just before a set generally indicate what the rest of the set is doing. Its also important that you consider tidal shifts, swell direction (especially new swell directions), and also being able to read the horizon and understand that waves on the horizon may look like they’re heading your way from a novice point of view when they are actually heading to a direction more the right or left hand side of you. If you are a total beginner first learn to stand up then apply this trick and you can hone in your surfing skills by means of a surf skate and practicing poping up before every session. I still do this especially on the more hollow days. Definitely dont want to miss those dreamers

    All good information, a process that I also used is count the waves in a set while on the beach. It usually consistence at least in Hawaii and reef break spots; not always the case in sand breaks. It was usually 9 waves to a set and after the last wave breaks is a good time paddle like crazy to get in the line up. Your thoughts?

    • @LongboardSessions

    This is the problem with cold water surfing. It's about waiting for the one opportunity to catch a great wave because you must save your energy for that perfect ride. The thick, burdensome wetsuits help, but they sap all your paddling strength too. So, the session becomes one of mental engineering to get the job done, not extended playfulness.

    • @LongboardSessions
      @LongboardSessions 14 дней назад

      Hmm I don't quite have this experience, but I understand some do. Wetsuit doesn't bother me tbh. I think the longboard helps for sure
