Looking for beginner surf tips on video? Now you’ve got them!
The Beginner Surfer blog is now expanding to YouTube! This new channel will be updated with the type of beginner surf content you’ve been enjoying on the blog — from practical beginner surf tips to travel vlogs, gear reviews, and more.
Keep on reading to learn what kind of beginner surf videos you can expect, watch my first welcome video below, and don’t forget to subscribe to the YouTube channel for video updates!
The whole idea behind this channel is to show real, relatable surfing. No pros, no pressure. Just me (and you!), learning to surf one wave at a time. Here’s what you’ll find:
These are simple, practical tips I’ve picked up through experience (and plenty of trial and error). Expect videos not just on technique — like how to pop up, paddle, or catch unbroken waves — but also on beginner-friendly surf conditions, basic surf etiquette, and even surf workouts that help with paddling strength and balance.
I don’t live close to the surf, so traveling to find waves is a big part of my journey — and something I absolutely love. That’s why surf travel will be the main focus on my YouTube channel.
I’ll take you with me to beginner-friendly destinations like Bali, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and more. You’ll see what the surf is like for beginners, how crowded each spot gets, and what it’s really like to learn to surf there. I’ll also share local tips, fun things to do, and the best food spots to check out — so you get the full picture of these surf destinations.
Wetsuits, surfboards, sunscreen, and more — I’ll show you what gear I’m using and why, and give honest thoughts on what has worked for me during the different stages of my beginner surfing journey. No fluff, just real opinions from someone who has been in your shoes.
If you’re a beginner surfer (or thinking about starting), this channel is for you. You’ll find real progress, helpful tips, and everything you need to know as you start your own surfing journey. Hit subscribe on YouTube to make sure you don’t miss any updates!
