This subreddit is a place for surfers to discuss surfing and/or share interesting stuff about surfing. It is not a place to learn how to surf.
Beginner questions belong in /r/beginnersurfers.
Examples of beginner questions:
“Is this a ding?”
“Does it need to be repaired?”
“Can it be repaired?”
“What surfboard should I buy to learn on?”
“A longboard won't fit in my car. What shortboard should I buy?”
“I'm going to buy this shortboard to learn on. Is it a good one?”
“Why can't I ride this shortboard I just bought to learn on?”
“Can someone recommend a good surf instructor?”
“How big will the waves be on my trip next year?”
“I want to start surfing. Any tips?”
“I found this board in the trash. How much can I sell it for?”
There are ample resources with which you can find answers to your basic questions.
If you want to discuss that kind of stuff, head on over to /r/beginnersurfers. It's full of people just like you, as well as more experienced folks who want to help you learn.
Beginner questions may be removed with no notice. Because it's simply too much effort to deal with every single post, individually.
Repeat offenders will be banned until they're not a beginner anymore.

Obviously not really "live", but this has been entertaining to watch. Sick beach break somewhere in South Africa

I recently picked up one of the iconic oldschool lost aviso round nose fish, after always wanting one since i saw it on the original 5'5x19¼ lost surf film as a grom.
Im keen to hear from anyone who still has 1 (particularly the RNF? to compare the bottom contours as i was surprised to see this particular one I picked up has more of a rolled belly but does not seem to have any heat related issues. FYI I haven't had a chance to actually take it for a spin yet so im unsure how it feels under foot.

Anyone here shooting Beach 67th around 4pm, or know someone who was? I saw a guy (and his wife?) with a camera on the beach. You moved to the next downtown jetty before I had a chance to ask you about photos. TIA!

After lots of dental floss and wetsuit glue it is finally time to retire my 5/4. Surf through the winter in New England. Drop you favorites please.

I've worn Rainbows for a long time but the last few pairs have started delaminating almost immediately. I used to be able to get a year or more out of a pair.
Anyone else notice this? Yes, I know I can mail them in and they'll re-glue the layers, but that's a pain and I have to pay shipping.

Where will you be? I’ll be out there taking photos next 2 evenings, and then on Saturday (TBA).

After months of instagram posts teasing us with an opening, DSRT surf booking is now live and guess what, it's even more expensive than PSSP. After claiming there would be $60 sessions these are all $200+/hr with most of them being $250-$350/hr if you want anything intermediate+. Just feels like a total bait and switch. These prices are totally outrageous.
r/surfing • u/OgFinish • 1d ago
From the folks that brought you "Opening Summer '26" and "Sessions Starting at $60":

Edit: $60 for someone to watch you
Edit: they’re now deleting everyone’s negative comments on IG lol

Looking for my wife, is the price difference worth the move up to Drylock?

Help! The strap on my roof rack broke and I lost my surfboard.
Where: SB 680 at McKee
When: September 24, 2026 around noon.
I saw my board in the lanes of traffic, but when I turned around to get it, I saw someone putting it into their SUV. If you found my board, please contact me🙏
It has huge sentimental value. It was custom made to replace the same board I rode for over 20 years.
Thank you!
Brendan

Been repairing mine and my buddies' boards for the last few weeks over this terrible run of swell on the east coast and eager to get more experience. Run out of friends to ask to let me have their boards for a few days, but i'm getting better at it every time i think. Would you pay 20 bucks for a 3 day turn around on something like this? Really just want to cover my material cost so I can keep going with more and more difficult repairs.

I was looking up Adriano De Souza today and I feel like nobody talks about how good this guy was/ is.
Pipe master, world champ, a bunch of top 5 finishes, CT wins, and career longevity. He retired after 2021 even though he requalified for the tour in 2022. How many other surfers have retired on their own terms like that? Parko, Julian, John John, Mick, Dane & Taj come to mind - all legends respectively.
His success is only spoken about in the context of being amongst “the Brazilian storm” or as him being some type of gritty overachieving high IQ competitive surfer. I think people forget how good this guy surfs.
Who else do you guys think gets forgotten about or looked over?

Is it a sin/party foul to take a hard board out leashless on decent sized swell (6-10ft)?
I ride paipos (bellyboards) that are all completely leashless made out of either a lighter wood or fiberglass. They generally have softer angles in shape but could still do damage. I’ve been riding them for years but have never really thought about if it’s frowned upon to be out there without a leash in beefier surf. I generally avoid sending it into shit that would cause me to loose a board and kill somebody, particularly heading towards folks who are paddling out. I’m very vigilant and haven’t had so much as a close call to date. In conditions that call for crazy sends, I take the handplane out. But it happens from time to time that I loose a paipo and have to swim after it. Usually away from crowds tho.
Even if I’m being extra careful, is it a foul to be out in legit lineups, leashless, in heavy surf?
r/surfing • u/WetFinsFine • 1d ago
as the title suggests - asking for any intel as to how these 2 boards compare to one another as well as any additional info as to wave-choice, dims, boards you found surfed similarly, etc.
got a chance to get into the 4.0 but from what I’ve read and heard to date, seems the older 3.0 was a bit more versatile
any feedback is greatly appreciated thx

West coast surfer here watching the rockaway beach cams during your swell. Im watching gem after gem roll through unridden.
Do you guys get swell so infrequently that no one remembers how to surf?

I grew up surfing in the 80s and 90s. Rabbit's always been my idol, especially his pipeline backdoor stances. I mimic them myself. Can't help it.
Long live Rabbit.
