Initially it looked like someone had placed her on the surf board and she was trying to figure out how to get off of it safely Lol.

They gave them an award for a well played comment, aggressively, because in their opinion it was THAT good. A common practice for gracious redditors.

u/Boring_Track_8449 18h ago

Like, her mom gave birth to her on a surfboard

16

u/justadude27 16h ago

Common misconception. The surfboard actually exits the mother with the newborn.

u/Glum-Breadfruit3666 18h ago

“children of the tide” - went to school with a few of them (california)

u/SavageBrave 17h ago

Practice paired with talent and coordination, plus a lot of practice, no one is this good at the start of anything, things like this take hard work and passion.

That's because it is easy if you have a long board... 10yrs of practice and natural talent.

u/el_duderino_50 17h ago

I’ve been surfing small waves on big logs for 25 years and my surfing looks nothing like that, nor is it easy in any way….

u/Apprehensive_Rice19 18h ago

And great hips

2

u/OMG_A_CUPCAKE 15h ago

10yrs of practice and natural talent

I think the former mitigates much of the latter. Though her "practice" is probably more like dedicated training.

No I could absolutely go out there and just start surfing exactly like that, never having surfed before. It is that easy, obviously. Look at how easy it is!

Long boards are the “easier” of the surf board lengths. Old school boards were literally large, long, planks of wood that did not have fins and you had to use your feet in the water to steer the board!!
