Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I just watch more tutorials?
Watching is passive. You might think you understand, but without seeing yourself, you don't know if you're actually applying what you learned. Most surfers have a gap between what they think they're doing and reality.
Which YouTube channels do you recommend?
Check out our guide to the best surf tutorial YouTube channels. Barefoot Surf, How to Rip, and Surf Simply are great starting points.
Do I need to watch tutorials first?
Not necessarily. AI feedback works on its own. But combining tutorials (theory) with AI analysis (practice feedback) accelerates learning significantly.
What if the AI says something different from a tutorial?
Our AI focuses on universally-agreed fundamentals. If there's a difference, it's likely about nuance or style preference. Use both sources to inform your practice.
