Surf Tips from Clancy Dawson from Surfing Australia

This May, we featured one of the top surf coaches in Australia, breaking down techniques that can help surfers at any level. More valuable tips are on the way but until then, keep your paddling strong!

Here’s a quick recap of our podcast this May:

Check out the podcast video below along with some of our favorite tips from our guest.


“So for this cutback, I want you to start it and just hold. I'm not saying bend your knees, then turn your head and then put your arms out like that and then do this. That might all be true, but the most important thing for now is to hold.”

“You want to know that you can paddle in fast and you've got a good paddle and if you're not confident with that, it's going to leave you with a lot of doubts and that wave, you don't want to have doubts.”

Enter the Basis Paddle Trainer.

I've gone months without surfing and rolled up to pumping swell and surfed 3 hr sessions, multiple times a day, day after day after day, by using the Basis Paddle Trainer.

Train anytime, anywhere, so you can catch more waves and have more fun.

Unlike elastic resistance bands, swimming in the pool, or funky gym workouts these things actually work.
