RipSurfer X Land-Based Surfing Class Experience

Nice. Still the whole paddling in, while looking down the line thing is not so easy. Is it just practise, practise, practise?

surfing since I was two this is very useful I am twelve right now and this video helped a lot in my last competition.

Hey guys. I’ve been an anxious surfer for about 3 years. I add two extra paddles but then get stuck at the top and go over the falls so I get more and more anxious. I’d love any tips on how to get over my fear of bigger/steeper green waves! ��

hey Ryan, great vid mate! keep them coming. Q: for the waves in around Adelaide (South and Mid Coast) the JR Wraptor seemed like a favourite of you both for a while. Did you guys had them in PU or EPS? Cheers!

Sorry, the title raises expectations („pro“) not being met in the video. It is rather beginner tips. And in my opinion, the steeper the wave, the easier you get into it/ the less strokes you need (on the same board).

Thanks 1 suggestion maybe get a drill instructor hat for when you things like
disgusting pushup and NO EXCUSES

Hey how to rip, please can you teach me how to turn on a wave on a softop, I am struggling with this bit

Useful video thanks mate, what board are you on?

I’m trying to decide whether to get a 6’2 helium Spitfire 38l.

I’m on a 6’0 lib tech Shortround at the moment 34l but I want something that paddles a bit easier, can be pushed down the face better and I can surf from waist to overhead reef and points.

I wondered if this was the spitfire and if so how it holds in sizeable conditions?

Worth mentioning I get in once a fortnight and wear 6mm suit with boots and gloves much of the year (Northern England). I’m 5’9 72kg.

And here I thought you two were two competing channels now it all makes sense

Very enjoyable video. We could probably see the upper body positions better if you…um…maybe lose the shirt?

Thanks Kale I appreciate all your surf videos very good stuff! The biggest problem I have isn’t so much trying to repeat your great tips as it is competing with with anywhere from 10 to 20 people in Southern California for a wave, its hard to find decent uncrowded waves to work on these points. Thx again though for the vids, they have helped improve my surfing

I thought this was going to be a lot more technical advice, not beginner stuff

so I know a lot about workouts. just by using Unflexal guide:)

I started teaching an exercise in the early 90s called Clive’s Clock… almost identical to what Chris has added. If it wasn’t mis-pronounced a lot, it might have caught on earlier! lol

Hey big fan of the channel. Love the vids, thanks���� Would be cool to understand more about what to do with each part of the body and the thought process while doing each turn. Example I seen on another channel they mentioned while doing a cut back focus on glueing your chin to you shoulder while doing a cut back.

Anyone else never even been in the water in years but just looking for something to look forward to trying once quarantine is over?

God damn. Where u surfing and how is there no one there���� cali beaches are soo crowded.

learn to be a kook like you no thanks.your a total kooooook

Really stoked to see this Chris x MSW! Yeeeww!
Looking forward to more videos.

I live in Hawaii and there is lots of coral… any tips on how to easily maneuver around them??

I loved this series, the way they were designed. I felt from here! Thanks!

onya fella’s solid tips,will do my best to put it into practice..!

I live in Indiana, so no opportunity for this. AND I’ve never seen a beach/ocean. But maybe one day I can do this! It’s been a dream my whole life. Maybe one day..

Good explanations backed up with specific technique applications.

I surf for a long time but still make mistakes, 2 more strokes makes a huge difference!!
Which fins do you use on the JR Wraptor? And have you tried on quad? What would you recommend? I have a wraptor 5’10 fiberglass love the board but never rode on a quad
Cheers

I think that the problem for beginner is more the placement too far from the peak. This is a problem every surfer has when getting out of his confort zone because of fear. So fear not and go to the peak.

What do you think the max volume is? I have a 6,3 with 45litre volume. Is this possible to duck dive?

thanks for the tips. the song is fire tho.. anyone know the title?

Great video. But the whole thing is in slow mo. Be good if they had a few at live speed. So you can see just how fast you need to pop up, paddle etc

The first lesson before trying catch a wave is correct positioning on board. Not too forward not too back. To get the correct position on most boards from small to funboards, is using the length of your arm to tip of board. Extend your arm laying on board to the nose of board. You should be able to grab or touch nose tip of board. On small boards you should be able to grab the nose. On larger funboard or longboards you should touch the tip of nose..so play try this position. The paddling also becomes easier when you follow this advice on positioning on the board.

I want to catch a blue wave like the ones in the video!�� �� Nice video!

thanks however about ducking at about 6 feet… i need to within 3 feet and does it vary depending on where you are and how big waves are? thanks

The video is simple and has a good sense, and the explanation is easy to understand, which will be helpful❣️

I appreciated this tutorials, see the possibilities! �� Thank’s!!!! xxxx

Thank you thank you thank you very helpful very helpful very awesome very informative very thorough very clear very understandable very everything awesome thank you for sharing thank you for teaching much appreciated forever

Love your videos! Pls make a video of how to read the waves and where to position ourselves in the wave accordingly.

What’s the natural progression of choosing more advanced boards as one gets better especially after you’ve mastered the soft top? From start to finish, starting at a soft top and working all the way down to shortboard what is the natural progression and knowing when to go down to the next board and what the next board should be to go down to? If a person is willing to travel to better surfing locations and willing to put in the time and effort to become a short border are there any hacks to becoming a shortboard surfer sooner or faster? How do you find better waves that aren’t too advanced but are more challenging Kenmore Progressive then typical small shorebreak? Is having a surfboard shape for once local surf break a good idea or wasting money especially if you live somewhere where the waves are never open face never really left or right breaking waves? What kind of boards should a person have in there quiver so that they can surf around when the waves are small and bigger for their local surf break?

my first time surfing was today, i caught 3 whitewaters. i cant wait to go back

Could you make hydrofoil surfing videos, my ability to catch waves is fairly limited to the conditions.

Barefoot Surf or any interested swimmer I have a couple questions about swimming.

One, I’m only a decent swimmer; I can swim in my own way, which works for me (so not technically the “correct” ways to swim), but only from a shore or shallow water area. I’m not ready to jump into deep water (so like from a cliff or boat) and depend on my only potential ability to swim back up to the surface. I always use lifejackets. Do you have any advice for me. Am I capable to swim back up if I can already swim straight in deep water? Jump down and come back up in seconds before I lose my air? If I shouldn’t, how about facial swimming gear to protect me as I try (or hopefully manage) to swim back up in time for air?

And two, there’s a harbor in my town, with a playground nearby, a big grass field, and a long cement port you can walk or bike on or jump into the water from. People are nearby, so if I wore a lifejacket to jump into the water, would that make me look silly to the witnesses? I wish I could say I was a kid or teenager, but I’m not. I’ve always been afraid of deep water.

A really good video. I struggled for years trying to surf and this video would have been SO helpful. The other things that would have made a huge difference were a bigger board, as mentioned here, and being water fit, in other words a strong swimmer. I was talking to Peter Jones of PJ’s Surf Shop in South Wales about board size. He said “All my surfing life I’ve seen people trying to ride boards that were too small for them”. Wise words. I did eventually get water fit, training four times a week for masters swimming, but that was after my surfing years. How I wish it had been before those years.

I got very comfortable at pumping on my front side and generating speed but most of the time I spend my wave pumping too much as I don’t feel like I can hit the lip or do carve easily without heaps of speed, but looking at you surfing makes me realise that you actually don’t go that fast on a wave and pump 1 or do in between manoeuvres haha I’ll have to try to commit to turns more!

That do you get when you put Kales in a blender?
A real good green smoothie

Anyone recommend the rob machado quad fins? Thinking of buying them but would like to gather some opinions

should drop his butt more when doing pushups. hes not fully engaging the core

Excuse me, can I use your illustration in my article? I’m writing a article to introduction surfing,and it’s not for profit.

BIGGEST RIP OFF FOR MORONS >>>>>I’m sure inventor made millions off all the MORONS

this was a both information-wise and aesthetically satisfying video:)

Thanks for this Awesome video..
I have a quick question, who does your video editing?

In am a kitesurfer, not a surfer… Why am I watching this? Interesting tho.

pretty great to see a surf video where the lessons are being demonstrated on regular, crumbly waves, wish more surf videos were like this!

Is it weird I already do most of these and haven’t seen this

Hi, nice video, congrats! Could you pls share the dimensions of the board used in this video? Thanks in advance ��

I just realized ive never seen a surfer wearing goggles……rip eyeballs

My dad tried to teach me to surf when I was a kid, but he wasn’t this good at explaining how to duck dive.

Wow thanks guys found this video very helpful. Subscribed keep up the great videos

New subscriber here. Lets share the love for our ocean giving us good waves. Come visit my channel.:) stay safe.

One thing I REALLY like from aussies is that they use metric system

Going to Costa Rica next week, will give it’ my best shot…thanks for tips, hopefully I’ll be hanging…Detroit

is it possible on a foam topped board? i thi k it was 8 or possibly 7 feet long and i have serious issues with just getting battered back time and time again

Watched a bunch of your guys videos for two weeks and finally bought a board and wetsuit to try to surf for the first time and could not land one wave on a 2-4 ft day. Gonna keep working on learning though cause it’s still fun.

2 meters before the wave? I guess were social distancing with waves too

Thanks for this great vid. I’d like to see how to perform more advanced manoeuvres like floaters etc, body mechanics, back foot placement. Smooth start drills. More advanced tutorials

hello! So i am all new to this whole comunity, and i have some questions. i hope someone can help!
1. is it possible for me to learn surfing without a trainer and just videos?
2. i am 5’7, what board would be good for me?
3. if i try and catch my first wave on the beach, will the others laugh if i fail or laugh at the fact that i am a beginner?
4. is skateboarding similar to surfing?

thank you!

Duck dive smaller waves: Difficulty Easy.
Duck dive big wave white water: Difficulty Boss mode

Good video, keep em comin. Heading out later today. I’m just learning and finally some smaller waves in store. Seems weird to say that, but, at my level, I need smaller waves. I go to a deserted beach that has been too big lately.

Hi guys!
I just purchased my first 5’10” surfboard and am having difficulties pooping up compared to on my 7’2″ could you guys do a short board pop up video?

When I’m trying to find a duck dive video this awesome video from the best surf channel comes up! Thanks!

This effin rules, thank you for sharing. Implementing asap into my practice

Been trying to get these down forever! This is much more in depth than most of the other videos I’ve seen. Thank you guys!
