i never surfed. bought a surfskate since i thought it will be nice for transportation as it have greater maneuverability than a regular skateboard (... it turn faster) and since then i watched a few tutorials trying to see how you generate speed without pushing... every single video was targeted toward people who already know how to surf and it just "do THAT like on a surfboard" except yours. thank you. excelent video! cant wait to go out and attempt it tomorrow!

@@mingclv Smoothstar is the best for it! Smoothstar come the closest to surfing! The compression and decompression plus throwing your arms are the key fundaments to generate speed, if you throw the arms into the direction you wanna go, you automatically but more pressure on one the sides. So, on the rails. you can also generate speed by only change the pressure from front foot to heels without arms, but that's not the technique we are teaching for surfing. But it definitely works on surf skates / surf trainer. If you have more question feel free to ask me on instagram @surfcompanions, I am quicker there with my response! Have a great day!

In surfing you need to decompress your legs and throw your arms shoulder high to the directions you wanna go. In the book is nothing specific about surfskate, BUT all word cues for any maneuver which we shonin the book you can try it exactly like that on a surfskate. Thanks for your great comment.

Is it a "usual/only correct way" to throw your arms when you have weight are on the toes and compress on the heels? Or does it work the other way round too?

@surfcompanions7973

3 жыл бұрын

Hey hey, for surfing it is necessary to throw the arms to have the proper technique to generate horizontal speed. With the surftrainer / surfskate it is also possible to not use the arms but then you will have a problem in the water, because you can‘t transition so quick from heels to toes on your surfboard. You automatically put pressure on rather the toe or heels side by using the combination of de-compress and throwing the arms. Let us know how your experience is.i will do in the near future another video about it;)

I have a question thats been bothering me for a while. I've been surfing for about 2 years, and surf with the regular stance (same as when I learnt to Snowboard as a child). However when trying to surfskate or even just cruise on a pennyboard, the goofy stance feels much much more stable and comfortable. Is it common that you have opposite stances in surfskating vs surfing? I want to surfskate to learn the proper technique for surfing, however I feel like its hard to translate it to surfing if I have to do everything the opposite way around. Would you recommend switching surfskate stance even if it feels unnatural and much more difficult?

@surfcompanions7973

3 жыл бұрын

A few people feel exactly the same as you. Maybe someone in the community can explain this in more details,but I would recommend to skate in the same stance as on the surfboard, so your body has the perfect muscle memory, although if its feel totally unnatural and its not working out then skate in your goofy stance. Some people can do both sides;)

You want to maintain speed during your turns so you should stay in your „chest over front knee“ - position. That automatically gives you more weight on your front foot. In longboard surfing, or with bigger boards,yes, there you have to shift your weight quick back for turning,but immediate afterwards you have to bring your weight again forward ( in longboarding usually followed by a cross step or shuffle ).

@@surfcompanions7973 sweet!!! thank you!

Hey, I've never surfed before, but I have always had the feeling that I want to. Do you think as a beginner I should buy a surf skateboard and then possibly transition to a surfboard later on? Can I transfer my knowledge of the surf skate to surfing? Thank You!

If you are a total beginner in surfing first thing would to get at least a whole week if surf coaching. Because you first have to learn about safety,take-off paddle etc… the surfskate is for practising maneuvers on land for your surfing. So once you reach intermediate surfing you definetly could use it for improving your maneuvers.

What is the brand of your skate board ? It looks like tiny

Usually I ride smoothstar: www.smoothstar.com/?ref=2 But in that video I had a miller, yes was a bit too small.

Would you say you'd use your ''strong'' leg on the board and push with your ''weak'' leg? Because with writing I am right and feel like i'm more stable with everything on my right side. So would I put my right foot on first? Yesterday I bought my first board ever (a surfskate) and I'm kinda nervous 😅

Thanks for your message. You should think not in weak or strong. Rather explore which feet is in front of you surfskate. If you are a „regular“ ( left feet in front) or a „goofy“ (right feet in front) I will make an extra video how to find out if you are a regular or goofy soon;)

You got any recommendation for buying a surf skate? I am already comfortable on a longboard to get from a to b, but I don't do tricks or jumps (so far). Just use the longboard for cruising. Want to get the surf skate to improve my surfing technique. I am currently at the point where I have to learn generating speed to then start practicing some maneuvers in the waves. Figured out that Smoothstar is kind of the best but also pricy. Cause you never know how often you gonna use something which you never tried out before. Is there a cheaper but good working alternative?

Sorry für die späte Antwort. Der Ferrari unter den Surf Skates ist meiner Meinung Smoothstar, da es dem Surfen am nächsten kommt. Von dem her check mal Smoothstar.com , aber andere marken sind auch gut. Ich spreche nur aus meiner persönlichen Erfahrung und Coaching Erfahrung. WICHTIG ist nur wenn du dir einen Surfskate besorgst, dass die Größe des Decks deinem Surfstand beim Surfen entspricht, also nicht zu klein gehen. Entschuldige nochmal die späte Anrtwort. LG Daniel

Would this help with snowboarding? I've been dying to find a off season hobby as a snowboarder. I'm scared to death in the ocean (mainly cuz i cant find anyone to go with me). Then I found out about surfskate. I saw lot of ppl riding surfskate without pushing, and they go very slow. I was thinking maybe this is the safer option. I find skateboard and longboard to be scary. I tried skateboard once and fell it was no fun. Maybe 10x more painful than snowboard.

i never surfed and my first time doing this. just injured my pinkie and kinda scared tbh. i struggle carving

My apologies if this question has already been asked and answered but what kind of shoes are you wearing? They look like VIVObarefoot shoes to me. Are those good for skating, reason I ask is I’m in the market for new skate shoes having just bought my first surf skate (Carver x Carson Proteus). I had a pair of Etnies before that I used on my electric longboard which lasted me two years, but they were really gross after rides, since they don’t breathe well

Too be honest, yes for this video I used my vivo barefoot, because I want to have the closest feeling to surfing,which is no shows. I usually skated with flat shoes ( nike sb, even reeboks,) but when I train on my smoothstar I use actually now shoes. Gives me the best feeling, but I don‘t recommend it to someone who is just starting surf skating. So vivo barefoots are a good option, but barefoot is the best;) hope I could help. Cheers daniel

If you are a surfer than you should definetly go on a surfskate/surftrainer because its an easier start and the movements are surf related. Be careful to choose a deck size which is the same as your surfer stance. Dont go too small;) thanks for your comment;)

Why are the front trucks positioned the wrong way? Is there some sort of benefit to doing so or are the trucks specially made so that everything feels the same as when the trucks are 'normal'. (Doing this on a normal board makes it near impossible to turn so I'm a bit confused 😅)

With a more flexible truck comes more maneuverability which you need in your practice in surfing. This millor surfskate was more a cruiser than a surfskate. There are even more flexible surfskates.
