Thanks it's a team effort. Reuben

Agreed!

Great tip. Thanks for sharing. Glad you are enjoying SUP surfing. Keep it up! Thanks, Beau

Hi Rob, have you had a go on any board yet? I would say look at a board that is 34' + ,maybe a Red Paddle Co 10'8''. To be honest there isn't that many boards for you to choose from that will be happy in the surf and all the other stuff too. There's a lot more that are long that will be great but they will be a little harder to surf. Hope that makes sense? Thanks Reuben / SUPboarder

Glad it was helpful! Get out there and have fun.

Thanks for watching Daniel.

Cool, glad it made sense.

Perfect nice to hear it John.

Glad to hear these tips could help you. Good luck next time! Beau

Great thanks

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Beau

Yeah, they do require a bit of technique but you sure can.

Yes back foot placement is key for this. Try a good wide stance. thanks Reuben

Thanks Janice. Glad you like it

Nice one

You are most welcome. Glad you like the video. Thanks, Beau

Thanks for the comment. We'd definitely recommend another board as the Blacken CX has a lot of bungees and fittings that could get in the way when moving your feet. One example might be the Fanatic Fly Air which allows a blend of surf and front bungees to carry gear. Hope this helps and all the best! Beau

Thanks! Beau

Wicked.👍🏼

You are most welcome! Thanks, Beau

As long as you just pump them up and go paddling straight away. And then when you come in, deflate them or put them in the shade, you should never have a problem. This is also more important with darker color iSUPs too.

This is something we are going to make a video of. But the basics are kicking the board away from you trying to always fall out to sea and your board towards the beach. with the paddle always hold it with one hand on the handle (when you fall into the water). Hope thats helps a little, but Look out for the video. Thanks Reuben

SUPboarder, I appreciate it! I’ll stay tuned, thanks.

Now thats an idea, nice one Kevin

The surfing shots were filmed from spots in Cornwall, UK and Taranaki, New Zealand. Hope the tips all help. Thanks Reuben / SUPboarder

😂😂😂

lol

Nice one have fun...😀

Because of this are they breaking a bit faster? As long as they're breaking away from the shore it should give you enough time to get on some waves. Obviously it all depends on what your previous surf experience is like? Thanks Reuben

@@SUPboardermag thank you. They break about 30-40 ft out and it is sand bottom between 3-5 feet

Okay, try and build up as much board speed as possible when you're paddling in towards the beach. This will allow you to catch the waves much earlier. And also if possible try and catch the wave in surf stance, that way you're ready to go. Therefore if the wave is shorter or your ride isn't so long you are making the most out of it. I'm sorry to say it is a case of practice makes perfect. Thanks Reuben

Thanks. Awesome to hear you are getting into SUP surfing! Using that longboard will help you gain confidence for the surf too. We're just about to release our iSUP Surf Test on SUPboarder Pro. We had 11 boards in the test. If you aren't a subscriber, I would recommend signing up to see which boards would be best for you when the video is released shortly. To be honest, you might need to pay some extra $$ to get an iSUP that will surf well. There are plenty of affordable iSUPs out there, but you wont get the added performance benefits of a more premium product. It also depends where you are located. Shark SUPs have a good surf iSUP. Gong have a good one too for a more affordable price. Once the iSUP surf test is out, get back to us with any more questions. Thanks, Beau

@@SUPboardermag Thanks! That sounds perfect. I'll def subscribe and watch that video first.

Very good question Poiuy. I think we should make a video about this to help you and others. But basically, keep both hands on your paddle (like you do normally). 90% of the time towards the wave. Use your paddle to help get speed on slower sections of the wave and brace with the paddle at mid to top of wave for extra balance if needed. Thanks reuben

Cool advice

It really depends on your weight and if you have experience paddling in choppy waters or on the ocean. We always recommend 32" for heavier riders or those with limited / no experience with ocean paddling or surfing. You can use a 30" wide board if you have good balance in choppy water and are a lighter weight rider. Hope this helps. Thanks, Beau

That board is a good size for you. Keep a board around 9' - 9'5" is much better for your flat-water paddling and you can still surf it too. I would recommend the Shark 9'2 . Thanks Reuben

Best cheaper surfing iSUP is from Itiwit if you can find one??

In smaller waves under chest high it will be fine. As long as you focus on riding off the tail as much as you can. Thanks Reuben

Yes just try and keep a bit more weight onto the wave side rail and then leaning towards the back of the board as well but also help this. Really imagine steering the board off of the fins and the tail of the board. Thanks Reuben

@@SUPboardermag Thanks Reuben!

As long as you are having fun and being safe that is all that matters Kimberly. Get out there and enjoy it. Thanks Reuben

It will catch waves. Best just trying small wave around knee to waist high. Give it a go, Thanks Reuben

Well spotted... but no its not a fin! Seaweed more then likely.

Well it does come down to your overall weight but. Something around 8' to 9'5" is usually the best. Any longer they do tend to become harder to use. Thanks Reuben

I got back on your other YT comment about this one 👍🏼

@@SUPboardermag thank you for your time and information

Hi Leo, not 100% sure what you mean. Can the double chamber be moulded to create bottom shape, is that what you mean? iSUPs are really hard to mould into shapes without hard edges. If you'd like to clarify, I'll get back to you. Thanks, Beau

@@SUPboardermag I have a mistral iSUP double chamber. If I put less pressure in the central chamber, it creates a concave surface on the bottom. I was wondering if this would create a channel where the water will flow

Yes you can still surf with this. It wont have as much hold on the wave face but it will work ok on smaller waves.

@@SUPboardermag thank you. I'm thinking about buying itiwit 500 10". It has one fin. If i buy fin boxes and add two more fins would it work well? I saw people adding fins to the middle of their isups for kite boarding but didn't find a video where additonal fins added to the sides. Thanks again for your instructial videos. They are very helpful.

Sorry for the delay on this. Yes you can add extra fins and it will probably help, but to be honest I probably will just ride it as it is and if you were just looking to surf in smaller waves it will probably surf fine. Also these boards are quite thin so they have quite a bit of grip throughout the rails compared to some other pick up inflatable paddle boards. Thanksa Reuben

@@SUPboardermag thank you!
