Thank you, but this video doesn’t help us up in the NW… The waves here
are harsh, cold and whitewashy. Could you maybe post a video on helping
find the balance on a longboard in choppy water? Thanks
@Bouchon211 dude i think you might be right… it had been cracked before
but badly sealed. I eventually got to use my friends board and it was
pearly haha. Doesnt matter much anymore.. a longboarded sliced the board
clean through with that fat back fin
Totally disagree with the stroke length, short powerful rhythmic, fluid
stokes are better for maximizing potential and conserving energy. Much like
a canoe paddle stroke, the first 30% of the stroke is 90% of the energy. I
pull to just underneath my pecs then am releasing for my hands to come out
of the water. Think in swimming terms, ‘his stroke started to get long’ ..
(he was swimming inefficiently -usually because of fatigue and pulling all
the way through).
@smexehpoop It’s almost the same in choppy water. You still don’t want to
be too far back or forward. If you have to, be a little further back than
usual if needed just to help cut through the white wash. But not far back
enough that you push water. Keep your body evenly distributed and make sure
you use the length of the board to glide and get speed while paddling out
and into a wave.
SOunds like you may be surfing a board that is a bit too low volume for
you. You may have more luck with some more foam under your chest. But as a
general rule your board can be pretty far underwater and you can still
catch waves, however you do need to have tip of the nose just out of the
water once you are up to full paddle speed.
I have been away from “theonlinesurfschool” project for a while working on
other projects so sorry for everything lagging and the lack of new content.
I now have the time to make more videos…please let me know what you think
would be most useful and I will do my best to make a video to help.
Thanks…theonlinesurfschool
Okay.. what if you have a shortboard and the entire board is almost sunk..
and when youre in the center the nose is under? Do you just paddle with the
nose under? and with the nose out of the water i feel like im putting on
the brakes and cant catch any waves… help needed please reply (:
cheers mate it helps for begginner like me! i just surf this afternoon my
first surf ever. i always fell off to my board dammit! i cant even Catch
the bloody waves! but i wont give up love surfing i always watch movies &
love this sports! cuz no 1 teach me just watch sum lessons now here in

@wetrib You need to watch where you are paddling. There could be surfers
paddling out, rocks, reef, people standing in the way. If you have question
let me know. I’m a surf coach.
Want to learn how to surf. We found these paddle techniques that will get
you started. Thanks guys, great video!
If only I had known about these techniques soon. xD

*You’re dumb
@SurfingwithBen Not me, I came out of my mothers vagina ready to go
professional. Being a beginner is for kooks and toys.
Sorry the water under the center is *not* moving as fast as the water at
your shoulders.
@ThisMightBeFun Kinda sounds like you are too big for your board or it has
buoyancy problems, are there cracks in the glass?
