Today we find out the age old question “Can a Kook (me) ride a shortboard?” I’v been surfing for a total of around half a year maybe! I started on a longboard then moved down to a 6’10 fish board and now a 5’9 Pyzel short board (The board Im riding is a Pyzel Sure Thing which is one of the more beginner friendly shortboards) . I’v only ever ridden my friends shortboards for a couple waves so this was a new experience! Will I be able to even stand up on a shortboard??? hmmmm!

Hola
Welcome to the shortboard club. Learn to do late take off.
We just got 35cm of snow at my local resort. I’M VERY EXCITED!!!!
That’s a great first shortboard heaps of volume for you hopefully see you out some day
Are you into satanism?? Because of your goat sweatshirt.
Yeees I had a good week hope you had one too great vid see ya tomorrow
how much do you weigh??? I gotta say im shocked to hear as a beginner you have a 30 ltr board, you got some pretty big balls, I always thought it was crazy that I learned on a 6’0 softec and that was 48 lts lol
I missed u boo
you have to ride for more time a bigger board to feel and read better the wave, then you can step to that one easily cause your skill is not bad 😉
Them drawings are lit boiiiiii
If u like the GoPro it will stop the water smears
Come surf Australia !
who in their right mind would dislike this video
I told my mom
And she said :
“Who tf is Dave ?”
hey man if u ever want adivse on surfing or surfboards give me a shout im a surfboard shaper from ireland. thanks
@davidsjones
I’m in your exact same position. I’m moving down from a performance longboard to a shortboard.
hey david, it might be easier to pop up on your surfboard if you move up further. Try to keep your nose about 4-5 cm out of the water
you should come to California some time!!
Wait wait wait, are you from New Zealand? This spot seems to be so familiar to forestry north of Auckland
Yew! Awesome vid! Think I’ve seen you at Orewa skatepark before, would love to skate or surf with you one time!
Good first effort! You seem to be getting a lot better- I think stood a bit far back on your board for those waves plus needed a few more paddles- short boards are just that much more difficult to get into the wave.
you’re duck diving like half a second to late, try duck diving a little later and the won’t pull you as much cause you’ll be more under the wave
Nice work man. You gotta lick the GoPro lens tho to get rid of the water spots
I have always watched your videos and loved watchng your skating and surfboarding vids because they are all my interests, but you have been my main inspiration for the snowboarding, i am in england and the closest snozone is two hours away, so im riding like once (twice if im lucky a wekk, been boarding for like a month and a half and your vids got me already 360 stalfishing and front and back boardslides! keep it up bro!!
sick jump cuts mate
Can I send surf vids for the homie edits
Sorry my man but take it from a hawaii kid, you still snowboard a lot better
try dual fins it will make it alot funner and easier to do nice quick turns
The video would be good if you could actually surf worth a shit. Quit vlogging and come back after 5 years of surfing.
hey the wizard boy is back. Dear saucerer you seem to have roamed a nice portion of this realm snowboarding, and now ride the hoolabajoo through the waves. Me and my wifey 4 lifey are looking to spend a year or two somewhere you can snowboard and surf, I know new Zeland is one place where that is possible, but if there was one place in the world you would pick where would you go?
I missed you my dude! sad thing is I snapped my surfboard on saturday :(. Now i have to wait until it is fixed and i have a surf comp next weekend 🙁 :(. Cool to see you back tho! and i think the reason that the 5’9 caught as much as your 6’10 is because of volume, 30.1L is a lot of volume for a 5’9 which will help a lot for paddling onto waves. Ur surfing is improving tho.
Are u a virgin or no
Hey I did that stuff you told me but I didn’t get any thing
Forestry??
David you should try skimboarding! I think you’d be able to enjoy smaller waves better and you could try some shick tricks my dude
Also hurry up and re-guccify everything bro everything so plane
wish the water was so clear where I live
