are lessons a meme? When I first tried snowboarding I took an intro lesson and it kind of felt like a waste of time. All they did was show you the basics and sent you on your way - the rest was good old fashion trial and error.

Well if that's the case why not just look up the basics online and then hop in the ocean?

I didn't take lessons but I knew surfers and would constantly pick their brains my first few months. I also bodyboarded a long time so was already comfortable navigating a line up and catching waves (although it took some adjusting to what I was used to).
For a pure beginner I think you could just get a board, hit the white wash and give it a go. Focus on getting to your feet and staying on the wave as it pushes you. Once you can do that consistently you're ready for some unbroken waves.
Lessons probably would have helped my progress in parts, but I would literally have needed years of it as I seem to get stuck at random progression levels.

Most lessons are an absolute meme in my experience. I’m talking about what I’ve witnessed and experienced in Morocco, Phillippines, Indonesia, Spain, Portugal and France. It was usually just instructors making sure nobody drowns and nothing except pop ups was explained whatsoever. In poor countries it’s mainly impoverished guys who realised it’s better to push fat Germans into white wash and pocket some tips and have a chance at some tourist pussy than slaving away in some dystopian factory job 60 hours a week to barely be able to afford basic sustenance. Many of them don’t even really surf. In Australia, where I live, you get washed up surfers who never become pro and random backpackers being instructors and doing an okayish job at ensuring the Germans don’t drown. But you can also pay people like Occy or Margo or other ex pros a couple hundred dollars per hour to actually couch intermediates into progressing into advanced territory. They will perfect your turns, teach you how to generate speed off your bottom turns, barrel riding etc. Totally not a meme but very pricey.

Those things are scary as shit. Are you really supposed to pop up while you're being catapulted out of the ocean? I felt like I was pitched way forward on the peak looking over a cliff and trying to lean back to level off, but either end up nosediving kamikaze style or shooting off at a million miles per hour and dragging along trying to pop up for like 10 seconds. Before I felt like I could paddle in and pop up when it felt like the board had been "put in gear." But the last times I just start front flipping

I've had a few sessions surfing the white water and starting to get more consistent in my pop up.
Went out with an experienced friend today, tried catching unbroken waves and got destroyed. Feeling demotivated.

At least now I've discovered surfers of bali.

I never really sure anything bigger than double overhead so each of those are for varying conditions from the waist high to double overhead range.

No you are supposed to catch before it throws over you took off too late. Once you master getting up you can take off under the lip of the wave but its very difficult.

Yes catch the white water. You can practice getting the pop up on land its definitely worth it just pretend paddle into the wave and push up. Once you got the pop up everything else is significantly easier.

What sizes? All epoxy? I've been through two boards now and am thinking of getting a new one. My current board is a 6'6x3"x22". Comfy in overhead surf but any bigger I struggle a little if the take off is critical. What is the ideal next step to surf a bit more difficult waves (mostly rip bowls or shallow sand banks)? Just try find a board with those sizes a bit smaller (FB marketplace is 99% likely where ill buy)? Also want to do some better turns, can only really carve and kind of do floaters now.

The biggest filter in surfing is conditioning. It’s hard for a beginner to achieve the fitness levels they need to progress. Many beginners spend most of their time on their feet jumping into whitewash which can be challenging from a fitness standpoint but not impossible. But that doesn’t produce the fitness results your body needs to be able to paddle into a line up and catch the waves from sitting on your board. Just holding the board between your legs and maneuvering it takes a bit of minor muscle conditioning. Even when just sitting in your board you’re by ing a ton of energy. I guess what I’m saying is, it’s a very hard sport to progress at because the level of fitness you need to do it successfully is high and can only be gained by doing it but doing it and failing is no fun so people give up.

Bend your back knee and straiten out your front leg. The quickness and amount of pressure will control if u do a snap or a carve. You just have to feel where the transition is and get your weight back on your front foot takes trial and error to get right. It’s crucial that your shoulders stay over your knees. Basic athletic stance.

Just focus on riding the wave and less on tricks. Being able to cruise, build speed and rid in the pocket > a kooky turn. Try surf different types of waves, variety will force you to focus on developing different parts of your surfing.

This is definitely a problem I need to consciously keep reminding myself of. Especially on steeper take offs.
Most waves I ride a rarely use my tail pad. The few times my foot ends up there I feel too far back on the board and tend to stall almost. But I have noticed when it's there I have much sharper turning ability. My few successful turns tend to have been with it there. Idk what to do with this info but it's something I'm picking up. I'm also interested in a new board but no idea what. Don't want to jump onto a shortboard just yet.

Everyone said you need to go out and push yourself in bigger surf to progress and I wrote them off. Then I went out and pushed myself in bigger surf, caught a few but didn't feel too triumphant or better for it. Then my next surf somehow I felt like I progressed 6 months worth. My confidence was way higher and every wave I caught came easy, take off was simple and I rode decently (for my level). Came in very happy with my progress. So I guess those fags were right.

Maybe you need to adjust your positioning a bit? I found minimal to similar sized board made catching waves easier for me, but I also went boogie to minimal. The smaller board felt closer to home.

I feel you man, I was surfing 8 foot walls in peru for 3 months back in 2022. Got fat since then and can barely use my old board. I just started over and got a soft top, I've been losing weight too. In some ways I would say I'm better now than before where I couldn't surf in onshores as well and now it's not as much an issue. Still I'm not as fast.

Yes it would definitely. If they use a material like glass or carbon fiber filled nylon they will work fine with just a resin coating as well. They will be much lighter than standard fins.

FDM printers like OP used aren't great for it because they leave pretty obvious gradients like you see in the picture. It's not really the printer's fault its a slicer issue (non-planar slicing can drastically solve this). Powder and resin fins don't have that issue whatsoever, but the costs get much higher. Though a properly designed resin printed fin that's glassed would have pretty comparable costs and performance to any on the market fin.

And how do I stop getting flipped forwards off the board, even a 3ft baby wave flipped me forwards. I was riding on far enough back that even my knees were hanging off the back of the board

Anonymous at Sun, 2 Jun 2024 00:49:28 UTC No. 199708

I have a couple pressure dings where I grab my board/duckdive. Can I just pour some resin and call it a day? Lay some fibreglass cloth over? Or do I need to remove the cracked fibreglass and do a ding repair type job?

Just suck it up, you're going to be doing kook shit for a long time. I have my moments almost every session.

Weight distribution, timing, positioning on the wave etc. all could be factors. I'd focus on popping up to your feet in white water then move that to an unbroken wave.

I've never surfed but it looks so much fun, I love swimming in the sea so I'm sure I'll like it. There's a place near me that does a surf school with an introduction to it, I'll do it this summer. The downside is that I don't live in a good part of the country for surfing, not great waves, but I'm sure it'll be fun nonetheless.

Good waves are overrated imo. Only a handful of guys at each break are capable of pulling into 4ft+ barrels. Once it hits 6ft+ the crowds naturally thin out (myself included). For beginners especially almost any wave will do.

So that you may receive the free gift of eternal life, when you ask Him to forgive you. If you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. You will receive this free gift. He also promises to heal your body. This Is Gods Love for You!

The tail rocker is medium-low I think. The most unique thing is that there is concave in the entire board, even behind the center fin where it's usually flat or vee.

once I had a board with the same feature, I think it was the 'chopper' from rusty.
the deepest part of the concave was right in-between the feet/ front of the fins and not in the middle of the board.
that was just like turbo. even at the very end of the board the tail was bent from the concave.

how often do you see something like that happen? To me, localism makes sense if it isnt already some world destination. I assume this is mostly at the best spots that are crowded. The cops kept having to deal with that sort of thing near me a bunch, and there were news articles. which is kinda crazy to me because I thought the only regulars in this spot were older construction worker guys.
I say crazy because of who they were cracking down on and because there is actual crime worth dealing with over surfer stuff.

if you were on your home and some invader came into your house and demanded that you ought to go fetch him a sandwich and a beer, but your wife will stay right there with him

What the fuck are you gonna do about it pussy?

If this made you even slightly upset, can you even imagine the level of rage you'd feel if some rat came to take you (and your brothers) wave? The key to regulating well is having a tight knit group because then outsiders just stick out; to all outsiders just come respectfully and know your place in their place. Eventually if you prove yourself you might be allowed in.

Rarely but the threat is there at many places. And because of it people don't paddle out into priority or act like clowns in the line up. Trying to regulate a popular beach is dumb imo, those are lost to the masses. But certain breaks it is needed.
I do hate guys who think they are locals but are just kooks. Had some confrontations with that sort.

They really shouldn't be encouraging beginners to be kooks. So many of them have zero clue about respect in the line up and will receive none as a result.

There two things I really dislike about localism:

1 - People giving you agressive looks even before anything happens. You get in the water, wait for your turn, but locals were already behaving like territorial dogs even before you get any waves.

2 - People who "trick" you into doing something wrong. This happened to me twice, a guy paddling the same wave as me, clearly with intent of going right while I'm going left. Last second he switches to the left and doesn't warn me, becouse what he wants is a reason to pick a fight while having 5+ friends with him in the water. One time the guy even hit his board on mine, clearly on purpose.

mad dogging is the warning that lets you know you could get your ass beat for doing the wrong shit and to come correct; it's nothing personal you're just not from there


>People who "trick" you into doing something wrong. This happened to me twice, a guy paddling the same wave as me, clearly with intent of going right while I'm going left. Last second he switches to the left and doesn't warn me

If you stood up first you have the right, you didn't unless it was agreed upon the whole wave belongs to the rider

>because what he wants is a reason to pick a fight while having 5+ friends with him in the water. One time the guy even hit his board on mine, clearly on purpose.

if you ever got injured by some reckless kook you would understand.
"Maybe I should have say/do something when I saw that guy kooking around"..."now my board is broken and the waves are perfect and will be for the next few days"
A fair warning is all you need to do. Communication is determined by the receiver so sometimes the message could feel more like a threat... and I couldn't care less about it.
As long as you move away from what I percieve to be a danger zone you'll be fine.
I've been surfing all my life and whenever I go to a different break I nod everyone and stay aside for the first 15/20mins. By the time locals see I surf well enough and I'm not a threat to anyone I can pretty much move around them like no thing.
A friend of mine sees the whole thing as a chess board. Some people move like horses, some like rooks and some even like queen... you need to identify yourself and move accordingly. Specially if you're a pawn.
kids... the currency in surfing is respect, and some people are millionaires.

Where I live you have priority if you are deeper in the wave. So if a guy going right switches to the left last second he has priority over everyone else. But ofc this guy would have burned me or tried to bait me into some conflict regarldless of our positioning.

This is what I do and the dudes still try to be agressive and pick fights. I'm not a cook, I have 20+ years of surfing. This is place with serveral cases in which police was involved becouse of fights related to localism. There is not "chess game" it's just relentless agression.

Is there such a thing as too much buoyancy for a shortboard? I got an oversized 6'6 to learn on after my minimal but its 3 inches thick 46L and I kept feeling like it was stalling on the lip and didn't really want to go down the wave.

keep paddling well after youve already "caught" the wave, tip your chest into the nose as you paddle if the wave is round to really force it into the wave, you have to adjust foot position as well, two steps forward and two steps back will change the entire feel of the board and how the rail engages, bigger boards are good for teaching that

You take your big boy board and paddle out. Hope someone notices and starts to help you. It's not a lucrative sport. These guys are in it because they are true watermen and mentally on another level to us mortals. I imagine there is only 50-100 guys making a living off of it. While thousands who probably deserve to don't.
Below is a bunch of relatively unknown guys and one pro (who kooks his wave and annoyed the locals). It's a fickle sport.

Months later and Im starting to feel like im breaking through this plateau. Foot placement was off and pumping always felt unnatural to me. Back foot was often too far forward and stance too tight due to longboarding and a rushed hunched over pop-up. Deliberately entering cobra stance before popping up has improved my stability and surf stance. Glad to have gotten support from other anons.

This is terrible advice, never straighten your legs. You should have a bend in your knees at all times.

What anon meant to say is to keep in mind the compressive and explosive stages of a turn. Watch some clips of a guy like Dane Gudauskas; he compresses (bends both knees into a squat to prepare to push into the wave) in the beginning of a bottom turn, then explodes (pushes out of the squat) on the second half. This allows you to generate a lot of power and speed out of a turn, and keeps you from floating off the top. At its core, this is all that non-longboarding is; continued compression/explosion to maintain speed, power, and flow.

you don't want to use a mold, grain direction is very important with fiberglass lamination. Large companies have sheets of pre-laminated glass they use CNC tools to cut fins out of; guys doing it in their backyards lay up some glass into a sheet, cut it out with a jigsaw, and foil the fins with a sander. Remember your PPE, fiberglass is a bitch.

Always wanted to surf so I bought a wetsuit and a longboard. Paddled out in pretty flat conditions and didn’t catch a single wave but had a total blast. Sore as hell the next day in so many spots. Looking forward to the journey. I love adventure.
