    I’m very much a beginner at the moment; just learning to read the waves properly. Even so, this video dissecting a far more advanced surfer will help so much

    Any tips on how to maintain the high line while taking off besides looking down the line?

  • @independentsurfer
    @independentsurfer3 ай бұрын

    Good question, getting in early always helps. The later you get in to a wave, the harder it is to get that 1st bottom turn in. Angling take off also helps a lot, if the wave is a little steeper and you are taking off a little late. Having a good pop up can’t hurt, and rotating your shoulders out to sea as soon as you stand up will help as well. But, most important is to get in and get up early

    Really great video braking thing down in such great detail. Sounds like when turning its mostly with your back foot. That being said are surf skates not a good tool for training since your using your front foot to make most of the movement? Thoughts?

  • @independentsurfer
    @independentsurfer3 ай бұрын

    Good question, my thought on this is that the boards turning function is driven from the back of the board and if you don't have your foot directly over the fins, it's hard to turn. However, there are times that you'd want the back foot further forward like when you are speed generating or getting barreled, and then placed further back for turns. I think a lot of control over the board comes from both the front foot the back and hard to tell which is the real driver. But, I think it's most important to think about the upper body movement involved. My surfing really changed when I paid more attention to upper body movements

    That’s crazy because i was struggling for few weeks, focusing on my take off, trying to make it proper but i couldn’t see any progress until I realized that I was watching my board, so i started watch the line and it really changed everything, the pop up was more natural, my position on my board was way better i dont know how that magic trick works but it works

    You tried leaning your shoulders into the whip of the turn. Yes that's good, but transfer that energy through your shoulders to your hips and it'll look much better and not as forced

    I always thought that half the battle was being in a great wave with a small group of friendly surfers. Even if I am older than their Mom's, they sense that i am out to be out in the water first and foremost. Being out in the water is a gift that we all share but we will not have forever. Second, the great wave part. Look at that peak! I mean my ageing and declining FL skills would still perk up nicely spending a good Winter or Summer ( I suppose here in Indo) just going out for two to three hours a day, then going for a bike or hike in the area to use the lower body and even the workout. That could be a nice scenario. But having a great peak and great conditions and a nice vibe out in the water and you are not distracted by cross chop or people trying to out paddle you for better take off position. I hate having to paddle too deep into the wave and not be able to make the drop because I'm too late in the critical moment when it's starting to pitch and I haven't got enough forward paddling speed.

    100% BS. No way on earth is she at "intermediate" level. She's a deadset, "dyed in the wool" beginner. Surfing at a competent "intermediate" level takes a couple of years of day-in, day-out dedication to make sure you're in the ocean in all conditions. This is an advertising hoax at it's best, purposed to further fill the line-up with kooks... which betrays surfing lore. The less people in the line-up, the better. We all know it... I'm calling this out. Happy to see she, like all of us finds joy and belonging in the ocean, but she's in fair dinkum beginner land... It's deluded.

    It is just so relative. I thought that I was an intermediate after 2 months of surfing. Now I surf for 2 years nearly every day, my biggest waves were 4 meters, and I'm still not sure if I can call myself an intermediate.

    Always noticed it could be a 1ft (hawaiian) mushy day and even longboarders would struggle to ride the waves. But there would always be a dude on a performance board who still would just absolutely smash every wave and hit big maneuvers on them while everyone else would struggle to stay in it
