Live Surf Cams

Surfline Live is a 24/7 glimpse into the world’s surf.

This stream moves through Surfline's global camera network, showing spots where it’s daylight and rated Fair or better.

What's The Deal With...?

Surf Lingo & Slang

What’s the first trick I should try to learn after popping up?

After you’ve got your pop-up dialed, the next move to stomp is trimming down the line. This isn’t a fancy trick, but it’s everything. It means angling your board along the open face of the wave, finding that sweet spot where speed and flow connect. Master this feeling of riding the green wave, not just straight toward the beach. It builds your wave sense and balance for every maneuver that comes next. Think of it as learning to carve on a skateboard before you attempt a kickflip.

How do I progress from kook to competent surfer?

Commit to water time, even when it’s small or messy. Get the right board—often a funboard or mid-length—to help you catch more waves and learn to turn. Watch tutorials, but more importantly, watch the water. Study how rippers position themselves. Focus on one skill at a time: paddling, pop-up, bottom turn. Fitness helps massively. And always, always practice wave etiquette.

How can I start practicing airs without eating it too hard?

Start small and on the right wave. You need a nice, pitching lip on a medium-sized wave. Begin with a straight air, or “straightie.“ As you approach the lip, generate speed from a bottom turn, hit the lip with your front foot, and try to lift your board. Keep it simple: board and body together. Don’t spin yet! Practice the take-off and landing in the soft whitewater first. Commitment is key—hesitate and you’ll be gobbled up. It’s all about repetition and getting comfortable with being airborne.

The Surfing Life

Can my surf gear be recycled?

Stoked to say, yes—more and more! Old wetsuits can be turned into laptop sleeves or yoga mats through specific take-back schemes. Broken leashes and flip-flops get a second life as new products. Even your dead stick isn’t necessarily destined for the landfill; some visionary shapers and organizations are grinding them up to make new board blanks or community benches. The key is to seek out brands with solid recycling or repair programs before you buy.

How can I eat well while on a surf trip to remote spots?

Planning is key! Pack non-perishable staples like oats, nut butter, canned fish (tuna, sardines), and whole-grain crackers. When you hit a local market, load up on fresh fruits, veggies, and eggs—they’re versatile and don’t need a fancy kitchen. A portable immersion heater or camp stove can be a game-changer for quick oats or soups. It’s all about being resourceful and making smart choices when you have them, so you’re not stuck eating junk food when you’re hungry after a session.

What’s the first thing I should focus on to really improve my surfing?

Ditch the obsession with ripping turns and focus on the foundation: your pop-up and positioning. A smooth, consistent pop-up sets you up for everything else. More importantly, learn to read the ocean—watch the sets, identify the peak, and understand where the energy is. Being in the right spot, the “pocket,“ is 90% of the battle. Master these basics before you even think about hitting the lip. It’s all about wave knowledge and a solid stance, brah.
