This is so inspiring. After 45 years of surfing I wish I could see it all again with such fresh eyes. Everyone from Kelly Slater on down the food chain started at this point. The best surfer in the water is the one having the most fun. Carpe diem!

Love it! Seems like established surfers are often far more interested in labeling "kooks" than helping a beginner improve. I've heard tons of stories about jerks yelling at beginners or chasing them out of the water. "Locals only" they they were Swayze's wingman in Point Break or something. "Most fun wins" is such a great perspective

Fucking joke of a surf school. 0:43 is inarguable proof. 1. Shouldn't even be out there in these conditions 2. If they were to attempt these conditions, surf the white water only. 3. If they're absolutely determined to get out past the whitewater, common sense dictates to TEACH THEM TO FUCKING ROLL UNDER or get off the board and dive under, retrieve the board via the leash. If any of the learner surfers involved in this vid read this, come to Australia, be taught by professionals who know exactly what the fuck they're doing...and learn to surf!

The first three were okay for basic safety, but terrible at any technique. The Brits seem all uptight about everyone being licensed "Royal Society of This and That" to teach anything, but it pays off in the quality. I suspect Aus is like that.

Too much energy for that level. Those "instructors" shouldn't be allowed to run a surf school. The music is great for the images.

I got worked in Maui my first time. I was sick of paddling in no time, but realized I gotta give it everything just to get out there. Totally paddled out in the wrong spot. Waves we big due to high winds. Got nailed by a larger wave that broke on top of me. Laid on the board gasping for a few minutes once I finally made it out there. Setup for the first attempt, and rode it until it wasn't a wave anymore. The locals were cool, and actually congratulated me. It was an unbelievable experience. Now I'm stuck watching surf videos because I don't live by an ocean.

Why would the instructors tell the class to go out to the break? Should stay inside and just catch the whitewash, unless the class had some experience already, which I doubt. I feel bad for the students; not a good way to get exposed to a great sport and hobby.

I think the monitor had his lunch break. I am a nube surfer but atleast i would've told these guys to turtle roll. It's easy. Or as the wave bashes into your board you shift your weight forward... It must be frustrating for these guys not being able to see a possiblity to get out back.

I remember my first ever paddle out, winter of 2013, in Rincon beach, and I wasn't able to actually paddle out, but was wiped out like these surf students! Hahaha!

The frantic paddling at 5:45 is astoundigly well complimented by the music choice

We've all been there. 😂😂 I've actually surfed that beach many times. It's usually quite mild and known as a beginner's spot, but you can get days when the swell is coming from the right direction and it just becomes brutal. If you can get out back on those days though you can ride all the way from indicators right up to the beach at Cowells; it's a long ride and it makes all the beatings well worth while. 👍 Lessons are great, but to learn to surf you need perseverance. I respect these guys for getting out there and sticking with it. 👏👏Experience is also a great teacher. That post-surf burrito has never tasted so good! 😊

GOOD CHOICE FOR THE MUSIC !!!!

Lmfao those waves are barreling and it's there first time 😂😂😂😂

The instructors themselves have only been surfing for like 2 months 😂

Thank you for this heartwarming video!

My kids managed to learn in conditions like this when they were 2 and 3 years old. One 'instructor' each, dragging them out then turn around, gentle push and ride the white water in, standing up for 'long' rides. That was Kuta beach which has much worse beach break than this If the instructors had taught them properly in advance and started shallower, protecting them then at least they would have managed a few rides

I love how they just get faceplant beatdowns and then just get up and go back out and do it again because they don't know any better and the instructors are motioning "go try again!". Some persist and finally get it. Tough cookies.

the music is perfect. great vid.

One step forward, two waves backward. I can relate

Santa Cruz is usually a very good place to learn at Cowells on a small-medium sized day. But its cold. Need a good wet suit. Give it a go. Its fun.

The music is making this 10x funnier 😹😹

Thank you sir, you made my day. 😂

Cool and an fun to watch!

Everyone has to learn somewhere I guess. Even if they got outside and caught some of these I can only imagine they would be digging the nose of the board out of the sand after every attempt. Learning to surf is humbling but so worth it when you finally get some good rides.

so much fun to watch! reminds me of all the noobs at my spot that get destroy all the time in the shorbreak. But for the school only the money counts.

They should rename this "Getting Drilled lessons gone right"- this is epic!

Hi Paolo, when r u going back to the bay area bro? How are the waves in japan?

Many comments about how bad these instructors are. The worst in my opinion is they have maybe 10 boards and 20 people all packed into a small area, with these big boards flying all over the place. Surprised someone didn't get some teeth knocked out. The shore break can be hard to get through if you don't know what you're doing.

It's weird how they were all instantly pros at using their boards as floating weapons. It's like no one had to teach them how, they just naturally wanted to level the guy behind them.

Thank you for that music in the beginning...lmfao...

this is hilarious lol... all about understanding the timing.

It's like they're training them to experience the worst aspects of surfing to get it over and done with first. Then the're desensitised.

Standing there waiting for the next wave isn’t going to help. Surely the instructors should know this ...

Pacifica, Linda Mar Beach, If you want to learn to surf in NorCal this is about as calm and tranquil as it gets. So yeah, valiant attempts. Any water sports in SF require fortitude.

At 0:44 a new Olympic sport has been invented !!! the launch 🚀 of an innocent soul toward a raging wave 🌊 🤣🤣🤣

I'm dying this is too good 😂😂 the way they're all like "Oh fuck a two foot wave coming right at me,, better humiliate myself to catch this"

tbf, i hate these gloomy days with rough water. It just feels worse

hahaha this better not have been a real surf school. 5:48 is priceless

Me screaming: turtle roll, TURTLE ROLL!!

The old saying in surfing: "The best surfer of the day is the one that has the most fun on that day." And it was very hard to pick out the best surfer in that group because they all seemed to have fun.

Good way to discourage a beginner from ever surf again…🤷‍♂️🤦‍♀️😆

Well it's nice to know that these 15 people will never go in the ocean again. Keep the lineups light. Lol

This is actually hilarious

Windiest day of the week too

Nobody ever teach the instructors to go onto the shoulder of the wave? 😂

Yep. That's me. Every time 🙋🏻‍♂️🤣

The music fits so well

You know it's going to be a long day when you have to instruct people how to get through the surf.
