Line Up Hierarchy EXPLAINED (& How to GET WAVES When it’s Crowded)

Crowds aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, and unless you venture to the furthest reaches of the world in search of waves, surfing in crowded lineups is something we just have to deal with as surfers. So how do lineups actually work, and how the heck can you actually get waves when there are a hundred guys out at your favorite pointbreak? In this video, I break down what a line-up is, why hierarchy exists, and how to get waves within it.
