Brad Jacobson Talks Surfing for Dummies & Localism


I think Brad Jacobson does a really good job describing the basics of surfing and also provides some good insight to localism. So if you're new to surfing this may really help you stay safe in and out of the water. Check it out: 


Surfing for Dummies. Just the basics

Watch this before heading out to try surfing. It's just the basics but it will give you a bit more of an understanding of the surf equipment you will be using. Have questions? Ask away in the comments and I'll try to answer as best as I can. Thanks for watching! I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll sea you on the sand.


Have you tried any of these methods? I don't think throwing your wetsuit in the oven will get you the right results. I pit AI GPT against actual surfers responses and am blown away how accurate it was. Thanks for watching! I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll sea ya on the sand.


Does localism hurt surfing? Throwing rocks, slashing tires, waxing windows and worse. Here's my 2 cents (not worth much) and I'd interested to see how you feel about it. Thanks for watching! I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll sea ya on the sand.

Lifeguards and Heroes - The Steps To Save A Life

 

I had a natural talent for drowning myself when I was a kid. I definitely would not be here today without the quick reaction of the YCMA lifeguard that was on duty when I was two years old. I have a lot of respect for lifeguards and for people that pay attention and take action to rescue people that are drowning.  Check out these videos to see some heroes in action and learn more the warning signs and what steps to take to save a life. 


Ben Gravy

This situation was pretty gnarly. As surfer's we're very intuned with timing sets & waves as they break, but most swimmer's aren't. Today in Ocean City, Maryland Kalani RObb & I rescued a swimmer who was potentially drowning. If we weren't in the same area that he was swimming no one would've have known or maybe even seen his situation happening. I feel grateful to have been there & thank you to Kalani for jumping into the situation like he did. Thanks for the stoke & support! - Ben Follow Us on Instagram: @bengravyy @jverni_


Pro surfer Mikey Wright joins SportsCenter on "Feel Good Friday" to discuss the moment he sprang into action after seeing a woman struggling in a high surf in Hawaii.


Swimming experts said the warning signs could be a lot different from what you might think.


Bondi Rescue follows the work of the elite professional Lifeguards who patrol Australia’s busiest beach. This is Australia’s real life Baywatch! Taking the viewers on their journey through mass rescues, drownings, resuscitations, shark sightings, and all number of the weird and wonderful experiences Bondi Beach dishes up. In ‘Bondi Rescue’ the audience sees the action through the eyes of real characters and lifeguards like Hoppo, Deano, Reidy, Jesse, Maxy, Whippet and Harries, as they catch thieves, perform CPR, make drug busts, break up fights, and even handle a navy bomb that washes ashore one afternoon. Every year throws up new and completely unexpected challenges, and how lifeguards adapt is what makes Bondi Rescue a show that’s about much more than swimmers being saved in the surf.


Forty new recruits out of the Fire Department's Ocean Lifeguard Training Academy, are fully trained and ready to serve on Los Angeles County beaches this summer!
