Lessons dedicated to generating maximum spray, compressing and extending through turns, and engaging the whole body for high-impact surfing.
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.
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).
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.
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.
