In a recent 2023 video, a journalist named Levandov shared how a surfing simulator can help such surfers learn to surf. Demonstrating how a surfer was learning surfing using a simulator, this video became viral, gaining plenty of views.

Levandov shared this video on Twitter in February 2023, captioning it  “Surfing simulator for surfer newbies.”  This video depicts how a surfer is surfing smoothly on a machine, learning how to balance. So how does the surfer learn surfing through this dry simulator and what are its benefits?

The video portrays a surfer, dressed in black, surfing on the dry simulator. Wearing a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and gloves, the surfer tries to maintain balance on the blue machine. 

The technical term for this type of dry simulator is brush boarding. This video depicts how the surfer is gliding on the machine when the brushes are rotating at a tremendous speed. A benefit of this type of dry simulator is that the speed of the brushes can be changed based on the rider’s abilities.
