How to Surf: The Triangle of Speed
Surf Simply breaks down the three core energy sources for acceleration—Gravity, Whitewater, and Rail Engagement—explaining how to combine them to master the Triangle of Speed.
Speed Generation
Techniques focused purely on creating and maintaining velocity. Lessons cover effective pumping and identifying the fastest line.
How To Surf Small Waves And Why You Should Do It More!
This tutorial explains why surfing small waves is essential for progression, focusing on how a flat rocker/fish board maximizes speed and how reduced fear allows you to hone your wave reading ability.
Surf Tips | How to generate speed and surf faster
Chris Bond details how to generate speed by paddling hard, compressing and extending your legs, and syncing your arm throw with your lower body to maximize forward momentum down the line.
The Secret To Explosive SPEED Surfing Frontside
Shannon Ainslie reveals the secret to explosive frontside speed: utilizing the top half of the wave (the energy zone) and generating momentum by lifting both the front and back feet off the water.
Micro Surfing Adjustments For Huge Speed On A Wave – Detailed Tutorial
Kale Brock reveals micro movements like the “umph turn” and double pump to dramatically increase speed, focusing on accelerating down the wave after the turn using immediate compression.
How to Generate Speed with Mick Fanning
Mick Fanning shares his top tips for generating speed, focusing on utilizing the whole wave face (top to bottom), avoiding wiggling in the middle, and using the crunch-low, stand-high technique for a smooth glide.
Surfing Explained: Ep2 Generating Speed and Grip
Surf Simply breaks down the physics of surfing speed and grip, explaining how the surfboard rail acts as a hydrodynamic foil to create lift and forwards thrust (Newton’s third law).
How to Generate Speed The Pumping Technique – Learn How Advanced Surfers Accelerate.
This tutorial breaks down the physics of the pumping technique, detailing how compression/decompression and angular momentum are used to accelerate up the wave face like a vert skater.
5 Tips To Surf Small Waves
Professional surfer Gui Fonseca provides 5 essential tips for small, weak conditions, focusing on pumping in a higher line, minimizing bottom turns, and maximizing compression/extension for constant speed and flow.
Surf Tip How To Surf Faster Frontside in Small Waves Part 2
Episode 2 on frontside speed in small waves details the aggressive speed pump, the forward weight shift, and exaggerating compression and extension to maximize momentum down the line.
