good video but not long enough or complete no views of the jump up or turning

Surfing made easy
Learning to surf with surfer joe makes surfing seem like a sport for everyone to learn at any age.
There's a lot of information about what surfing entails - learning about currents and winds, and exercise besides surfboards and other gear.
It's a great teaching movie,easy to follow and encouraging. It should probably be distributed to schools, so kids and adults as well, can learn what surfing is really about.

Watch Surfer Joe. . . then get a board and go!
I watched Surfer Joe a couple of times before a friend lent me a board and took me out. Part 2 was especially helpful. The instruction is really thorough. I liked that the moves are repeated on different waves so you can begin to internalize the movement. I felt confident when I went out because I could fall back on what I had watched after I did something stupid or was too late or too slow. There's so much going on when you get out in the waves, especially when it's rough, it's reassuring to have an image in your head about what you should be doing or not. Anway, the stuff about waves and boards was really interesting but much more meaningful to me after I'd tried surfing a couple of times. Surfing looks so easy, I had no idea there was so much to it. And I love the Surfer Joe character, he's so cool...and it all looked great on my equipment.
