Thanks for the feedback Davide. Glad it was helpful and good luck with your next surfs. Hope it works out for you! 🙌

Good to know. Thanks for the feedback and hope to see you in the water one day 🙌

My first time going out right now, that's what brought me here!

I think the timing is effected by the kind of board and the kind of waves. Gradual predictable waves give you more time and hence it's easier to get the timing right. Longer boards have a longer paddle in, maybe 3 or 5 strokes while shorter boards 1 to 3 strokes.

He hanks for the feedback. Hope you score some good waves soon

exactly, I took a lesson and talked to people but I don't they really explained that I need pop up right when I feel the wave

Thanks for the feedback

Cool Clayton. Keep practicing and good luck. 👍

@@shannonainsliesurf Same for me. Just a beginner. Can't wait to get out again and try the pop up when the boards lifting. Sure will help with my nosedives :). Thanks for the great video.

Thanks. And good to hear some of your thoughts. The volume of board you’re riding should allow for early entry into the wave. An angle take off is good but just make sure you paddle at a 90 degree angle first and only the last few strokes you should start leaning and looking in the direction you’ll go. One of my tutorials speaks about an angle take off. Check it out and I hope it helps 😊

Good to know. Thanks for the feedback 🙌

@@shannonainsliesurf surfing, cold exposure (wim Hofing) and no sharks.. you've got it all covered there.. thanks again for some great insights!

Thanks for the feedback

Thanks Karl. Yes I can make a video on that. Looking forward to a surf with you in stavanger

Thanks for the feedback. Keep practicing and all the best!

Thanks. Good luck 🙌

Glad you enjoyed

Thank you. That’s a good idea 🙌😊

Thanks banana 🍌

Takk for tilbakemeldingen. Surfe du på Jæren?

@@shannonainsliesurf ja 🙌

Thanks Noah

Haha no it’s a dolphin 🐬😅

Thanks for the tips, I think most people who want to surf will struggle doing this for 6 months, but I think you have a good point and adding it into their practice and training could help a lot. Thanks

@@shannonainsliesurf Yes it's unfortunately true that most people who want to learn to surfboard will likely not have the apetite to do something like bodysurfing regularly. Which is a shame because having swimming and bodysurfing skills used to be a hard requirement for surfing back in the day before leashes. I realize that it does require dedication and effort, and it's one of those activities that has perhaps a less exciting learning curve initially until you really start catching waves and going down the line... after that though (at least for me), it provides just as much, if not more excitement in terms of pure adrenaline/sensation. I know for myself personally, my takeoffs have become exponentially easier since I've stared bodysurfing regularly as part of my routine. It forces you to really understand wave mechanics, positioning, and timing in a way that you simply can't develop as quickly as a newbie on a board exclusively. The amount of depth, joy and progression it has brought to my overall surfing experience is difficult to quantify and it has made me appreciate all forms surfing, and to not view the act of standing up as the pinnacle of wave riding. I think it's unfortunate that people focus so much on stand up exclusivly since I feel like a lot of that focus has more to do with ego than anything (another bennefit of bodysurfing, it forces you to re-evaluate your motives since almost no one out there will notice you doing it). Anyway I like your content, keep it up!

@@relaxingsounds5469 good point! I think most people will find surfing much better and more fun and if they don’t have a lot of time on their hands they wont bother doing anything else. I am the same, although I have spend a lot of time doing many things when I was younger, bodysurfing too. But I only surf now because it is a lot more fun for me and I don’t have time to do other things besides doing what I love most. But it is very good and cool that you do it and see the importance of it. Keep it up!

That’s a good point. If it’s steep then just look straight ahead of the nose of the board (not the beach). And as you get better then looking down the line on the wave gets easier. You’ll also need to learn to control the weight distribution during the angle take off 🙌

@@shannonainsliesurf Thank you Shannon. I ll keep practicing. Greetings from North Spain.

The best is to practice trying to stand up rather too early than too late. And be willing to wipe out, that’s a risk we all take. And try do some visualization of yourself getting it right. That will help break bad neural pathways and start creating new ones 🙌

Yes for sure. Short board you need to take off in a slightly steeper part of the wave closer to the peak and on a longboard/ soft board you can catch the waves sooner and not in a steep section or too close to the peak. So on a longboard you can stand a little slower and later. Shortboard a bit quicker and earlier.

🙌🙌😊

That’s for the comment. It could be that you’re taking too long to get to your feet. Tag me in a video if you have and I’ll have a look for you.

😊

Just try not get to the bottom

Yes this will work if the wave crumbles but it won’t work on a steeper wave 😊

@@shannonainsliesurf right, I agree. I was just thinking if it is steep but I am already positioned there I think I will still paddle, while paddle closer to the tip side if I am on the shoulder-ish side where it already breaks so I can take white wash and bottom turn instead of staying there to nose dive or let the wave go. But if I am already positioned at the tip, then better just let go and wait for the next one to come

@@Changwen666 yes for sure 🙌 Thanks for the feedback. Hope you are scoring some good waves 🌊😊

@@shannonainsliesurf haha surfing in Sri Lanka tmrw, it’s my first trip Sri Lanka, am quite excited!

Thanks for your feedback. Angle takes are good and important to do. Low level surfers shouldn’t try an angle take off too early though coz they will struggle, but I do encourage angle take offs. It’s more about timing 😊

Does it go past you while you’re popping up or while you’re already standing up on your feet?

Haha 😂 some dolphins swam by. But would have been bad if it was a shark 😅

Haha yes that’s true! 😅🙌

🙌🙌

No there were a bunch of dolphins out there while I was filming and coaching that session 😊

@@shannonainsliesurf great video - thanks for making it - I served for years as a teenager and the pop-up seemed so easy and natural. Some 25 years later, I have come to discover that surfing is not like riding a bike. I have had to start completely over….and hese videos really help!

*surfed

@@Danoelm glad the videos help. Hope you get more time to surf 🙌

Dolphins 😊😊

Correct 😅
