Phenomenology of Surfing: 3 Sessions, 1 Morning

Here’s a 10 minute video that documents the last morning in February surfing around the Rockaways. I was coaching Brant Weil who is figuring out how to ride his 6’6” CSC x Barahona Potentia shape. I’m riding the same shape, but in 6’1”. The video contains voiceovers and slow motion. I explain some of the things that I consider while I am surfing — both in terms of overall conditions and particular thoughts and considerations that I have and make while riding waves. The filming is done by CSC student Emory Lee. Emory alternated between their Canon and their iPhone. Surf filming is a great way to get better at surfing, and I mention this in the video. I will be doing more videos like this one, but I will also do some that get into one particular aspect, say wave judgment, or the take off. Not all of these will go public.
