You hear an accent like that, you know your in good hands surfing.

0:40 picking your B*tch killed me lol!!

when ur in quarantine but want to learn how to surf (edit: bruh i wanted to surf before watching obx leave me alone)

it is january 2 and i have the random urge to just SURF

Who doesn’t live near any good beaches or beaches at all but watched Outer Banks and now wants to surf.

"Looking for good beaches in your area" *cries in landlocked state*

These were really great instructions, and so encouraging for beginners. I’ve always thought surfing looks so cool and this video took me from “I could never” to “maybe I could”

2014 = How to surf in 25 minutes 2019 = How to surf in 10 minutes 2024 = How to surf in 4 minutes

I wanna surf so badly but i don't live by the beach

As I do Snow- and Skateboarding, I always dreamed about surfing. 2 weeks ago I flew from Germany to San Diego Mission Beach and learned how to catch waves. Got 5 on my first day, what a feeling! Its true that its most easy to catch some after they're already broken. Bigger waves really wipe you out in the beginning. Most difficult was not catching the wave but finding the sweet spot of balance to the front/back accordingly to the size and Power of the wave. That's what I need to work on next year somewhere.. love California! Wish you guys success!

Basically what he’s trying to say is SEND IT

This is one of the few things I look at in life and think “I wanna get good at that”

Just tried surfing for the first time here in Norway. Was super fun, managed to figure out I had to paddle to catch the wave and rode a few of them kneestanding, but fell off everytime I tried to stand up. Will definitely keep practicing, what a fun sport..

i’ve lived 10 minutes away from the beach all my life and i always watched people surf and my dad is finally gonna teach me and i’m kinda nervous so now i’m watching a bunch of videos haha

As someone who’s never once been on a surfboard, I’m so grateful for this video! It tremendously helped orient me to what my first upcoming lesson will entail. Much appreciated! 🙏

Me watching outer banks Me: I’ll start here to achieve my dreams

I first surfed 2 years ago and I just when out and caught a 5 ft wave🌊🌊🤘

i’ve been surfing on and off for awhile now, but i’ve never had proper instructions on how to do it. this really cleared a lot up for me man, thanks from oahu.

No one: Not even a person themself: Subtitles: *is picking your bitch*

I’ve wanted to surf since I was 5 when I first watched Barbie and a mermaid tail lmao I’m soooo doing this and putting in the work learn. I want my future kids to surf too!! I just can’t wait to build such an amazing life when I get older omg :)

me: lives hours away from a surf able waves in the middle of a global pandemic where all of the beaches are closed anyways also me: clicks on the video at 12:40 am anyways

I knew he was gonna be an Aussie before i clicked on the video...

Moved from Ohio (USA) to Lima Peru in January 2021, I'm in my late 30's and ready to surf for the first time!

Another great instructional vid , summarizing a lot of topics, there is always something in your videos that can be used and remembered

The way his accent makes him say beach kills me 😂

Really great tips and good vid as always. Keep up the great work guys!

Super beginners surf lesson. Makes me feel a lot more comfortable to get out there … cheers !!!!

i’m doing my first surf camp on monday and i don’t want to look like a complete idiot so this helped thanks 🥳

Thank you! I'm going to Bali in 6 days and I want to try surfing out. Your video was just what I needed!

*I watched half this video, ran out to catch the waves, and came back bruised and more dead than alive but also still very alive. TLDR: I should have finished watching this video before going out for the first time*

Thanks! This was really helpful as I’m having my first surfing class tomorrow

Great video! I had a lesson and been out 6 times since but I feel like I needed a refresher - especially on standing as I've been struggling to get up in one motion. Thank you!

Great instructions! Thanks so much! I caught my first waves today, thanks to this! I have never surfed before and do not live near the ocean, but decided I wanted to try and surf so I rented a surf board, with no instructions other than this video and did better than my dad, who has had lessons and done it before.

Really useful video! Thank you so much! I liked the part that said "choose your beach" that was something I know I was thinking about but hadn't fully recognized as a step yet

Ok, I've been trying to learn how to surf for a while and you just made a lot of these steps so much easier to understand. Thank you!

Great video, thanks. I'm 54 and heading out this morning for my first surfing ever. This was super-helpful

Thanks for the videos! I recently moved to Kailua, Oahu and have been wanting to learn to surf after watching others for the last year.

Thanks man! I’m up for my second go with much more experienced surfers in NSW next weekend. Appreciate your approach for beginners like myself .

Oooooohhh. Cant wait! Im going to Florida next week and im going to the beach! Cant wait to go surfing. Also thanks for the tips on surfing, ill try to use em. 😊

I love this video.. there is such a patience in the instruction.

I respect that you didn't smirk or laugh when explaining the front and back of the board, but took it seriously (leg rope and fins at the back). Tthat's valid information when first learning to surf.

Got inspired 4 years ago and finally bought a board the other day. Going to teach myself at Lake Erie as that is my closest beach! Great vid

I REALLY Wanna try to surf, i mean, i'm going to my first lesson tommorrow, and now i feel great and DETERMINED About it after watching this! Thanks!

I'm just beginning again after 10+ years without surfing at all. I bought myself a 7ft foam Mal for around $350. I need to learn how to get up quicker. But I'm sure it'll get easier as I get better balance and my fitness improves. Cheers for the tips man. I'll be using them for a while I think :)

thank you so much, this is the best surfing tutorial i‘ve ever seen!! :)

0:40 subtitles on lol

I’m learning and my dad is teaching me. He told me to start on a smaller board rather than a longboard or a foam board, opposite of what everyone else told me. I’m glad to see he’s not the only one

I’ve been wanting to learn how to surf ever since I was little watching rocket power

I lived in California off and on growing up. I've wanted to surf since l waa a young child. Im almost 50 years old and living on padre island, in Texas. Im definitely learning while i still can. Thanks for the quick motivating and clear tutorial. I think I'll get with some locals to find the best spots and some 1 on 1 help.

I’ve lived in Arizona my whole life with no beaches nearby. Only rivers and lakes. I remember always wanting to get into this hobby as a kid and it hasn’t happened. Hoping to make this happen every summer now 👍🏻 thanks for showing me how to surf

Thank you! I've been "trying" to learn to surf for 2 years now (very intermittently). Just get really frustrated every time. I knew there must be steps no one was telling me about I could do to practice before getting in and actually catching a decent wave. This is it! Thank you.

I'm 53 years old and Santa finally brought me my 1st surfboard!! 8 foot catch surf foam board with massive volume. Ordered a wet suit, wax and lease today. Hope next weekend to put your tips above into practice! Thanks

Great and informative video. Thanks for the content

Anyone just watch soul surfer on Netflix and now want to surf 😂

I’m here because my mother legit just now came home with a surf board and was like “You’re gonna surf now” I’m scared but excited- I’m only 11- ✌🏻

I’ve been renting a soft board for a long time but I have made the switch to a hard board and it feels amazing I catch way more waves it 6’10 I used to surf an 8’0

I went to the beach the other day and saw all these surfers and it just looked so cool and wonderful that I had to learn

Thank you so much for posting this videos. I've been struggling the last 6 months trying to learn surfing by just throwing myself with my surf board into the waves, and boy! I just realised I was doing so many things the wrong way......

Another great one guys! Waiting for the “how to read waves” on Thu or Fri you mentioned in the comments!

This is so great, thank you!

Thank you bro me and my best mates have been wanting to surf so this will help, appreciate it man ❤️

Thank you! Your videos are extremely helpful and easy to follow!

THANK YOU Australians for simplifying everything and genuinely trying to help the greenest of the beginners, like me. I love the Californian surf community but they are surprisingly elitist and excluding to people who don't know what they're doing. Surprising-because a lot of them are homeless and live off of food handouts from local grocers. I saw one in San Diego bite into a whole raw cabbage like you would an apple. To them, I'M the laughingstock, the kookiest of the kooks, because I don't live on the coast, so I don't get much practice and I don't know all of the 'current' surf lingo and I can't read every change in the ocean and every wave like a book. Also-I'm chunky and 40 and female. I don't really fit the brand. But, I don't care! It doesn't stop me from riding an artificial wave in Phoenix! I landed my first small jump (there's video proof on my channel.) People don't have to like it, I do what I want. Videos like this fuel my empowerment. Thank you!

0:41 I can't stop hearing this the wrong way

I’m new to Florida and just got a soft board i of course went right to the beach 🤣 definitely need to work on my pop up! But I really think I got this! Ty for your videos🏄‍♂️

Excellent video, pretty straight forward. Just forwarded it to my son. Thank you

FYI bro’s, bodyboarding helps with boosting your confidence for surfing

Great Instructional. Well thought through and good quality content. Thank you!

This is a great video for any starter. It contains relevant, and practical, information that every beginner needs. Thanks, FD

The best instructional video I’ve watched❤️I’m in Eden NSW and I’m loving our beaches..

This has been incredibly useful. I’m a hefty guy and most people don’t take the take to explain just kinda brush me off but thanks to your vid I’ve been surfing to get in shape and pick up a new hobby!

Who else wants to surf but doesn't even know how to swim? 😂

Years ago I watched how to snowboard videos, then just bought gear and hit the mountain by myself. Now the ocean is calling me.. Thanks for making these type of videos!!

Haven’t surfed since I was like 8/9 trying to get back into it at 19 as I’ve just left school :) thanks for the great video

I caught my first wave today because of this :) It was a 5 footer :)

I'm gonna start surfing soon so wish me luck!

Thank you so much , for sharing your knowledge:)

A great video to start surfing with! I find it better to focus on a few key fundamentals when learning a new skill than jamming my brain with a dozen things to remember, hence stressing too much and not enjoying the progress.

Guys this vid helped me alot!!!

Just surfed for the first time yesterday it’s incredible!!

I came here to learn the techniques, this is really a great tutorial. I'm so getting me a surfboards and practice

half of my family surfs and i’m not part of that half but i live somewhere good for surfing and i really want to learn haha luckily i already love the water and the ocean

“Step 1: Pick your Beach” *Cries in Texan* Lol we don’t have good beaches.

I’m going to Hawaii soon so I needed this!

thanks ! this has been very succinct and helpful

Finally caught my first wave, watched all of your videos and stored that information, stitching the steps together in the moment proved the biggest obstacle.. Day 1 I take my 100kg lanky ass to the beach with a 6ft 27litre board that I've borrowed. Spent a lot of time swimming, getting rolled, mostly underwater! Day 2 recovered from the toll it put on me getting beaten by the surf. Day 3 went out, now committed, took some professional advice and purchased a new more appropriate sized board. Went to the beach and after 30mins I put it all together and caught a wave, also caught the bug, lived on the coast for a few years and never even considered trying this as a sport but I can see myself there whenever I can now. Thanks for the videos! 👌

I've been living I Huntington Beach for a year, but have never had interest going to the beach, let alone surfing, until the recent stay at home orders. Made me realize how much I never took advantage of learning something new for so long. Once the pandemic slows down and it's a little safer to be in public, I definitely want to start taking time to learn something new and cool.

Thank you so much! Now I’m good at surfing!

Thanks for the video. It helps!

I’m not surprised he’s Australian

1:35 with captions is amazing

this is a bloody great video for beginners i’m keen to get out there

Thank you for this video. I’m going to try surfing for the first time in an hour 🤙

when you live no where near the beach but have the random urge to learn how to surf

When you are Australian,you will always ride the waves

Thanks for the video! Im going to try in hawaii in a couple weeks!

Well done explanation on the basics. Want to try surfing Lake Michigan!

turn down the music sir
