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.
Coach Martin Dunn breaks down the backhand re-entry, emphasizing rotation before impact, the torque force needed to start the turn, and the final push and compression on the way down.
Josh Kerr teaches the key techniques to gaining more time in the transition to the frontside re-entry, helping you cruise into a clean maneuver and exit with power.
Kale Brock explains the key difference between a re-entry and a cutback, focusing on which maneuver is dependent on the wave section and the correct shortened, intensified rotational technique for each.
This tutorial breaks down the forehand re-entry into 3 fundamental solutions: getting the front foot above the lip, twisting before impact, and compressing low to complete the turn.
Kyle Russ breaks down proper paddling technique, focusing on using minimal muscles, correct posture (shoulders flat, spine straight), and avoiding compensation to maximize efficiency and catch more waves.
This tutorial breaks down and fixes the biggest paddling mistakes, focusing on the practical application of technique, increasing paddle efficiency, and getting past the waves without wasting energy.
Rob Case analyzes Nat Young’s famous wave at Bell’s Beach, breaking down three key techniques (kick, head position, commitment) to help surfers catch seemingly unrideable waves.
Josh Kerr shares pro tips for paddling in, emphasizing accelerating into the wave with the final two paddle strokes and matching your board’s angle to the curve of the wave for quick entry.
Barefoot Surf details the two core paddling concepts: reducing drag (finding the sweet spot) and maximizing propulsion (EVF/high elbow), which leads to an increased wave count.
