Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

Many popular surfing destinations have surf schools and surf camps that offer lessons. Surf camps for beginners and intermediates are multi-day lessons that focus on surfing fundamentals. They are designed to take new surfers and help them become proficient riders. All-inclusive surf camps offer overnight accommodations, meals, lessons and surfboards. Most surf lessons begin with instruction and a safety briefing on land, followed by instructors helping students into waves on longboards or “softboards”. The softboard is considered the ideal surfboard for learning, due to the fact it is safer, and has more paddling speed and stability than shorter boards. Funboards are also a popular shape for beginners as they combine the volume and stability of the longboard with the manageable size of a smaller surfboard.[15] New and inexperienced surfers typically learn to catch waves on softboards around the 7–8 foot funboard size. Due to the softness of the surfboard the chance of getting injured is substantially minimized. Costco’s alaia design Wavestorm surfboard is a cheap and cost efficient option; unlike many surfboards, this one comes with rubber fins, stock leash, pre-installed traction.[16]

Typical surfing instruction is best performed one-on-one, but can also be done in a group setting. The most popular surf locations offer perfect surfing conditions for beginners, as well as challenging breaks for advanced students. The ideal conditions for learning would be small waves that crumble and break softly, as opposed to the steep, fast-peeling waves desired by more experienced surfers. When available, a sandy seabed is generally safer.

Surfing can be broken into several skills: Paddling strength, Positioning to catch the wave, timing, and balance. Paddling out requires strength, but also the mastery of techniques to break through oncoming waves (duck diving, eskimo roll). Take-off positioning requires experience at predicting the wave set and where they will break. The surfer must pop up quickly as soon as the wave starts pushing the board forward. Preferred positioning on the wave is determined by experience at reading wave features including where the wave is breaking.[17] Balance plays a crucial role in standing on a surfboard. Thus, balance training exercises are a good preparation. Practicing with a Balance board or swing boarding helps novices master the art.

Welcome to Dragon’s new Frame of Mind series. What does it all mean? It’s 60 seconds into a surfer’s cranium in flash-frame format, where we step into the realm of his everyday life and tap into what drives him. It’s raw, unedited, and DIY. Future episodes down the pipeline include Mick Fanning, Evan Geiselman, and Luke Hynd. But for now, we focus on Mr. Rob Machado. We got on the horn with him and asked him what exactly all these video cuts mean. Here are his answers:

Rob on Japan:
I love Japan…I’ve already been twice this year. I rarely turn down a trip there. As far as the waves go, I don’t think I’ve ever really surfed amazing waves in Japan, but it doesn’t matter to me. Sometimes, just being able to go surfing is enough. I love the culture, the people, the food, the level of respect that is giving amongst everyone, their passion for surfing — the list goes on and on. Thank you, Japan…

Rob on #VanLife:
The wood shell in the video is actually not my van — its Jay Nelson’s. Vans are the best. I don’t know if I could go back to a normal vehicle after Jay helped me build mine out. I keep my life in my van. My road trips are pretty short these days: Cardiff to Seaside, Seaside to Swamis. My van is lucky to get out of North County.

Rob on Shaping:
Shaping has been amazing for me ever since I shaped my first board in 2000. It’s such a creative outlet. Being able to ride something that you created, and then have instant feedback on it, is the best feeling in the world. My time with Channel Islands and working with Al [Merrick] for all those years had a huge influence on me, not only for my surfing, but for my understanding of surfboards and what makes them work. I am so lucky to have spent those years of my life watching a master craftsman create my boards for me. I didn’t realize until it was gone, but now I am forever grateful for those years.

Rob on Hawaii:
Hawaii is amazing and it always will be. It’s a special place for a surfer. I love going there, and now that I don’t compete, I enjoy it even more. I love to sit back and feel the energy — to paddle out and be amongst it all. It’s very humbling. I always thought that they should have a special trials for all the previous winners from the Pipe Masters: Gerry Lopez, Tom Carroll, the Ho brothers. I just think it would be really cool to watch. I still surf all the same spots that I did in the ’90s, mostly lefts. I was never a fan of Sunset or Haleiwa. But I’ll go right every once in a while. I’ve had some of the best sessions of my life in Hawaii.
