Great techniques…thanks for the video.
Some solid advice Brah! Thanks!
I learned real quick that the old 'eskimo roll' technique I used on my longboards and from Surf Lifesaving was super bad on a SUP because the paddle adds so much extra hassle under water… Up and over is for sure the easiest way!
Riding a teetor totter by himself.
That sounds sad as hell..
So helpful! Great video and analysis/commentary.
this video was good! full of techniques and monuvers… very helpful
One thing I do when I know I’m gonna get beat up by a wave and I bail is try to flip the board upside down and the waves doesn’t pull it as hard. That’s with a 9’2 cocomat, not sure how that works with a 14’. And the board, magically, seems to be right side up after the thrashing and will pull right to you.
Awesome vid dude!!! Greetings from zarautz!!!
Your voice is so calming
Hey Clayisland, what up great video explanation. What type of mount camera you have in your SUP?
Clay, I saw the "ClayIsland" and thought that was you. This is Sean "Feral In Baja" Callahan. I was going to try and message you the other day to ask advice on a Franken-Paddle I'm putting together (Oval Blade stem, round Paddle Shaft) they're both good parts, but I'm having to adapt. GREAT VIDEO!!! I'm back in the Baja beachbreak tubes, after 7 months off living in NE Tijuana war zone. Your video game is seriously on point. Gonna get back on the Zone, I was off it after someone really classist-vibed me out. I'm touchy about that, so I stayed away for like a year or more. So many cool people, I'm going back. Cool vibes, great video, thanks for the stoke!
Great video. A couple of questions for you. 1. Are you and some of your friends using iSUP in those size waves? 2. Have you encounters problems losing your paddle when falling off?
kooks and there boats lol
Thank you for that!
thanks super helpful
Clay, awesome video! Thank you. I'm spending my evening looking at sup surf videos to try to learn a few things and as I'm watching this one, I realize it's YOU narrating and video'ing. Awesome, thanks!
Great tips thanks. That "over/under" move at 8:10 was beautiful.
It is videos like this that help us rookie SUPers see the techniques that work! I have practised the techniques in this video on my last few wave sessions and they work. In fact, paddling out is almost as much fun as catching a wave. It requires skill and good balance and it is satisfying if you can make it out back without falling off. I think you even earn a little respect from the prone surfers when they see you riding up and over each wave as you paddle out (even on an iSUP!). Thanks.
Great video. I surf in the river on a SUP and have only tried it twice in the ocean. Very helpful and also motivational, knowing that it's normal to get knocked around and off your board when trying to make it past the break. Thanks for your video!
Nicely presented clip. I remember all those anxieties first time I got a longboard, and reading the handbook, & asking 'stupid' questions in surf shops, 'how do I get out in big waves, mister?' heh…'If you can't get out you don't deserve to be out,' he'd say, the guru.
Isn't a paddle in your hand such a faff? I always feel sorry for the guys out back – standing when everybody around lies prone. Best be anonymous out there with all the bad guys :). If I was as fit & young as you I'd go get a longboard and then a 7 footer for the big stuff, learn to duck dive which is fun.
S'pose you get a nice glide on the SUP, all best, a very enjoyable delivery, thanks.
good info thx for sharing
Thanks so much. I really enjoyed watching this vid.
