Hey guys!  Maybe a silly question- there's a lot of great content- but... how do I figure out where I should start and concentrate on?

Hi JJC I would watch from the very beginning  the Surf Start video that Graham talks about. You might be a Line 4 surfer but your pop up might be way different to what Clayton teaches which is stepping up rather than jumping up. You might paddle and kick like crazy to get on a wave which is completely unnecessary and uses a lot of energy.

Even if you find the beginner stuff boring, there may be a snippet of wisdom in there that you didn't know

The first question would be "what level of surfer are you?"

As well as the 4 lines content (which may be a bit technically oriented for some) there's the Surf Start and Surf Smart programmes which walk you through everything from having never touched a surf board before to advanced techniques.

Go through those from the start (you can often pick up useful tips even from the earlier stuff) and find the parts that are relevant to your current skill level.

The four lines series might be a good place to start. Then, you can figure out where you are at and the skills you want to work on!

If you have a particular skill you want to work on (cut backs, bottom turn, reading the ocean, pop up ect you can choose to dive right into those too. Alternatively, if you have footage of you skating or surfing, I’m sure you’ll get some good feedback and tips for where you could find videos with the content on that area. Have fun learning! I know I did 😃
