How To Surf Sloppy Weak Waves | Tutorial

How to surf sloppy, weak and fast waves - it's a highly requested topic so in this video I give it a detailed look over. There are ways you can benefit and even enjoy small, sloppy surf! Trust me; I grew up in it!
Surfing is not always a rose coloured, blissful experience.
There will inevitably be some frustration involved as you try to progress and the one huge factor which often acts as a big barrier to that progression is… the waves.

    To get “surfable” waves here in Connecticut, you have to travel to other states. A “swell,” is not a swell, it’s just when the wind kicks up. The biggest wave size I’ve ever seen here on the CT coast is 3 and a half feet. This video is a miracle.

    It took me a while for it to click but riding my tiny 5’0 fish, I really just had to focus on generating speed and settle with one or two big turns rather than trying to do a bunch of turns without generating speed. Generating speed in weak surf is the most crucial thing.
