FUCKIN WANKERS GOT HIS NAME WRONG

totally yes. you've always got to try to get the board horizontal by shifting weight from front to back. but beginner surfers are taught all sorts of things by others, so this vid doesn't get its rightful share of views.

Should call them learners until they can actually surf, might be an incentive

Last week I dropped a comment regarding my vastly improved experience in the wavepool implementing these tips. A few days ago I went for a surf in the ocean. Beautiful 3-4' swell, offshore wind, autumn reef break in Torquay. I did my best to use these tips again and a rough estimate would be that I doubled my wave count with less effort and stress. I really felt so much more connected to the ocean. Thank you Clayton and Anthony!

I'm in my 30th, in a quest to learn surfing. There's no ocean nearby so, I'm learning surfskate to hopefully easily surf when I'll be able to, and your videos are absolutely awesome. I feel like I understand the mindset, so thank you! Cheers from France.

For me i find backhand almost easier as a goofy foot 95% of waves at my local are right handers. Lefts are rare so my experience going left is much less.

I can’t stand Ants incessant interference with Clays flow

Thanks for all the great vids. Beautiful shot with the whales in the background! (00:24)

I surf better with no brain lol

I love my surf skates but I don't wanna get wet.

Great

It'll get your body firing so much better BUT you won't be a better surfer

Great insight and shared wisdom Clayton

I'm so depressed to see you push mongo! hahaha

While I think the Carver boards are really good fun, I think that super squirrely front truck simply does not approximate how a surfboard turns. A surfboard pivots off the mid rail and tail, not the near nose. That fall at 4:37 is that dumb front truck going squirrely.

I’m going surfing in Costa Rica in June. Haven’t surfed in 3 or 4 years and I’m 69. So there’s the whole senility thing working against me too. This video is so helpful to get me back in the zone. Join me in CR

Great stuff!!

And what that gives? The video is circumcised

Come to perth

Looks great

I see some local surf schools pushing absolute beginners e.g. can't pop up, trim, turn, brake or wipe out safely to take huge set waves that close out very fast e.g. you gotta grab rail to make them. They have extremely dangerous wipe outs. I'm a low-mid intermediate surfer but I'm only just working my way up to them now but I ensured I have the tools already I can grab rail, trim, turn, brake and wipe out safely.

I'd have to agree, I love to watch Torren surfing, so fluid and smooth. Interesting to see the analysis breakdown of something that he probably does quite unconcsiously.

My wife (short boarder) is a big back foot advocate where I (mid length long boarder style) firmly believe my front foot is my turbo button. My wife struggled with wide clean fast rail turns where for me i found it natural and i think the whole back foot belief system is what causes people to struggle.

What a great board! I would absolutely buy that!

Brilliant advice 👏 👌

looks badass bradda

Longboard

I think you surfed better on the swallow tail, discounting the first bottom turn, it went smooth. For the round tail I think would have been better if you did the turn lower on the wall. The squash I feel like you got more stuck on the maneuver, not much line/rail after the bottoo turn.

You need long hair to do that more spay!!

When is the next live

This is a great vid, love tip 7.

We use a self coaching technique in windsurfing, called the fast fwd formula. If something goes wrong, (or right), think about these things (usually in this order): Vision Trim Power Balance Stance A little different for suring but this is what I use for self coaching

This video is incredible, I cannot stress how good the explanation was. The Oreo biscuit part was the cherry on the top, it made me understand visually, and feel it physically. Amazing props to you guys

Expert coach! Genius🤙🤙🤙👍👍👍

The small triangle somehow broke through to me ! Thanks again love all your stuff 🤙🏽

I'll take any advice from you mate. 🤙🤙 Keep the videos coming.

Would love to watch the full video this is from. Link? Or title?

You can drop your hands when you fight, only when you are out of striking range of your opponent and need to rest your shoulders, and outlast your opponent. A second reason is to give you body the instant torque capability of jerking your head around (using your hands as a counterbalance and your spine is the axis) to dodge a punch. Not a recommended style for beginniers because of its risk, but absolutely viable… advanced moves are beginner mistakes DONE ON PURPOSE

Great idea but chapters don’t match, and conclusion is not so clear …

Fantastic, all your tips!

This is some of the best advice I’ve ever taken! After hearing Clayton talk about this on numerous clips, I started to put it into practice and it dramatically changed my surfing.

Where is this full video ?

brilliant thanks for sharing

Yes. You've made the point perfectly .I am now convinced. Let the debate rage on. I've seen the top o's doing this

Rails not tails , thanks Clayton

I love the aggravation energy in this delivery Clay… haha 🤙

Great explanation!

Can't be taught... dont try .. you either have or or you dont.

I’ve been doing this all wrong for years. Thanks for the tip!
