Surf Tutorial Videos – Intermediate & Advanced

We have put together a series of surfing tutorial videos, for intermediate and advanced surfers, that will help improve your surfing. Please click subscribe after watching the video and support us in our effort to put surf coaching on a more professional and standardised level.

Intermediate videos

These videos are designed for you if you want to progress from intermediate level to advanced.

Stance

Many intermediates get stuck at this level as they do not stand correctly on the surfboard. If you have been surfing for more than 2 years and are intermediate it is probably because you don’t ride in a functional stance.

Paddle the board

Do you want to paddle like Kelly Slater? This video is for both intermediate and advanced surfers.

Lie on the board

This video gives some gudiance on where you should lie on the board. It is helpful if you want to catch more waves and/or ride a shorter board.

Surf Skate

It’s difficult to acquire the feeling for how to pump a surfboard. Riding a surf skate will help you get that feeling and this video is a 3 simple step tutorial.

Advanced surfers

To be an advanced surfer you must have mastered the functional stance and have caught enough waves to have worked out where you need to be on the board. However, you may not know everything there is about paddling a surfboard and we recommend you look at the paddling video above, which is for surfers of all levels below Kelly Slater.

Pumping a surfboard

The waves in Bali are particularly fast, particularly the racetrack section of Uluwatu where Scotty learned his craft. This video shows Scotty pumping some fast sections at Balangan.

Equipment

Having the right board and fin set up can make a huge difference to your surfing. We asked Mega Semadhi to give expert advice on what he rides at Bingin and Padang Padang.

If you’re a an intermediate surfer, and you’re looking to take your skills to the next level, we invite you to join our surf school at Uluwatu’s top surf camp where we will teach you how to stand on the board correctly, and how to steer and turn the surfboard.

If you are an advanced surfer then we offer barrel riding coaching and other skills such as pumping the board for to make fast sections of the wave.
