When I got a surf skate it improved my surfing so much and it’s not even funny how far I have come just because of that surf skate

As grommets we used to do this all day long when the surf was flat. Didn't realise at the time but probably helped so much in my progression as a surfer. Well done Kale, sound advice mate.

Really great advice, as always!

Love your hints and tips out of the real world, super helpful and just what is needed to progress, thx Kale!!

great tips thank you

Thanks so much for the technical cues. Can't wait to try all these. I took lots of notes!

Thanks Kale

Bro I just want to say thank you for the surf skate videos! I love surfing but I’m landlocked so getting to learn more about surfing on my surf skate is a great substitute!

Great tutorial with a genuine aussie feel. Nice to see authentic surf 🏄🏻‍♂️ movements. I am a South African landlocked in Switzerland, so far skating 🛹 and snowboarding 🏂. Now I am really hooked on surfskating. My hometown is a village next to Jbay so I can’t wait to surf again next vacay! Thanks for the inspiration! Subbed. Yew! 🤙🏻😂

Very cool

Thanks Kale. Love and value your advice. My son (12) and I have been working hard on our surf skate on our purpose built concrete skate park at home and totally have seen the improvement in my surfing. Much love Waites of pekadice kapiti NZ🤙

Thanks for dropping the knowledge bombs! I love all of your videos! What type of wheels do you have on your surf skate?

Thank you for the tutorial :)))

Excellent video. I was anticipating for such video, in addition to the ultimate skate program, adding practice techniques for skate parks. After practicing on flat surfaces for a few months I started practicing in skate parks recently and found out that I need more technique instructions. Keep on with these these amazing videos

One of your best tutorials. Question: How do you relate this to foot positioning on a surfboard, especially surfboards over 6'?

Yeah bro so good thanks from Costa Rica 🇨🇷🛹

That skatepark looks fun can you tell me where it is please?

Loving these videos, Kale! Would you recommend keeping the trucks very loose or rather tight on a surf skate?

I let them play out naturally as the board ages haha

Have you got a video on the bottom turn you're mentioing? 🙂

Is the weight transfer really that much to the back that you lift the front axle straight after the snap? Like in 3:47?

That skatepark looks amazing tho

Hey Kale - I surf and skimboard goofy and snowboard, skate, and wakeboard regular. Is this normal? When I try to get up regular when surfing it is horrible as I can’t get up with my right foot going first. I feel like for surfing the front foot should be what you naturally move first. When I try the other sport goofy I also find myself struggling. I’m at a loss as I’m wondering if the stance is what is holding me back from becoming a great surfer.

What you do doesn't actually look - and sound (screeeetch!) - like the tail slide I was taught, but more like a tack with heavy rotation. I was taught to put all the weight in the front foot, so kicking the back foot would make the unweighted tail slide out and make that typical abrasive sound. You are actually lifting and turning your front leg, with the back foot carrying all the weight and being your pivot. Can you explain the difference and how it translates to surfing? Thanks!

I'm in Australia and gather you are too, but your program on your website can only be paid in USD?

That so called steep barreling bowl is around the same height and radius as the waves you were doing the re-entry on and the slopes are like the shoulder which won’t work in the water as there is no wave energy out there. So how does that work?

Do you know what size and durometer you’re using?

Hi kale!! A few weeks ago I caught one of my best waves yet and it was the second day on a “real board”!! I was in the power zone the whole time was was totally parallel to the shore! Do you think you could make a video on how to pop up quick and at the top of the wave rather than drifting down the face please? I could really use that 😂

Any tips for someone who skates natural but surfs goofy?

I struggle bc I started street skating goofy but when I started surfing I do it regular so now when I surf skate I suck at doing it regular but am decent at goofy

Hi Kale, after watching your surf skate videos, I’m really keen on starting surf skating to practice on land. I don’t have a surf skate yet, but just started to have a go on a regular skateboard (I don’t know how to skate so just starting for the first time). Weird thing is I feel more comfortable on the skateboard Goofy footed, but I naturally surf Regular footed. Do you reckon I should try to force myself to skate Regular footed to better align with Surf Skate training for my Regular Footed surfing?

Very good question Quan. We have had many, many customers over the years with this question. Its all about your popup to start with. When you lie flat on the ground like you are paddling a surfboard, can you pop goofy and natural stance the same? Surfing and skating different stances normally develops from a very early age. We have some solutions you can try but let us know how you go with a goofy popup v's natural popup.

Have to skate regular foot as it’s harder to change surfing stance and won’t get crossover otherwise

@@QuanNguyen-wx9ls it's best to keep to natural stance. It's harder to change your pop up than your stance on a SmoothStar. Essentially it's all about retraining your brain. Your body has the ability to ride natural but the brain doesn't know how to coordinate it. With all the riders that have this issue it's initially very awkward to change your stance on the board back from goofy to natural. There are some simple left/right - heal/toe movements we would recommend to start. Just make small progression each time. It will feel really weird but you will be absolutely amazed on how quick you can transition over. If you have about 1 hour a day of riding, you should be riding fluently in less than 2 weeks. In that process don't ride a normal skateboard. Of all the customers we've worked with, this has worked and they haven't looked back. Interestingly they now can't ride the way they use to... they trained their brain. If you email our customer support, we can give you the full breakdown.

The thing I cannot really understand is: shouldn't I put more weight on front foot instead of back foot while slinding?

What’s your set up ?

Where's the park ? looks insane

I just cant get my wheels to slide more than 20° or so.

Am I the only one who feels SurfSkates are actually counter-productive? The narrower fixed stance, the extreme ease of doing 'advanced' tricks like revs and how loose they are actually end up throwing me off when surfing for real. I'm torn because I love the repetition side of things but I'm actually afraid I'll end up engraining 'unrealistic' habits 😨

Surfskating has actually been incredibly helpful to my surfing. Living in the Netherlands we barely get any good waves, so being able to practice these movements regardless of conditions is great. I was amazed at how much the movements transfer over to the ocean! Regarding the stance: If you think it is too narrow (I couldn't make out from your comment whether you actually ever rode a surfskate or not not), then you need a longer surfskate.
