The first ride - the first 10 seconds, where you fade right and hesitate on the pop up - reminds me of an old Dale Davis movie with Butch Linden on several waves at Radar Tower in Oxnard (he was also a goofy foot). Butch always did that too, followed by the sweeping turn from the tail with the wide stance. Of course he had a D-skeg and had to turn from the tail.

Love this. I learned the angled take off from a pro longboarder who was also giving one to one tuition. It's really worked and I also learned not to grip the rail's but keep palms flat under your shoulders. My pop up has never been swift and I always wait a second or 2 when in trim to pop up fully then remain low till engaged with the wave face down the line. Patients is key, not rushing. This video has taught me some new ideas tho and I need to practice getting into the pocket and staying there as I want to get proficient on the nose. Great video,s, well explained and very helpful.

Wow, wow - great video! Your really nailed it. A ton of information - summarized perfectly. Had to go back and watch it 2 or 3 times. The degree of angle you recommend on fast closing waves at the peak is extremely important. I have been playing with this and I have not taken it to level you indicate but will try. I see it gives you better vision on the wave so you can time your entry. And as you say, keeping that inside rail edge down into the wave is key. If you are not pressing in on a steep wave it will role you , ha ha been there. Bottom line -if your Longboard is aiming straight at the beach and you are going for a steep wave, you are probably going to nose it; because you need the angle to reach escape velocity and launch you along the side wave before it closes on you! I can go on and on about the info you provided but I will end with saying - I think I am going to experiment with the fade turn when I am caught too far out on the shoulder of the wave. It seems to me heading toward the power section of the wave and then cutting back to get in line with the break direction is a possible option for catching a wave on the shoulder where it has less power. Cheer from down under - keep those great videos coming :-).

@LongboardSessions

2 жыл бұрын

Well said Jack! Yes, going straight on a steep, late wave will send you for a nose dive. Even if you don't nose dive, you won't make it ahead of the section anyway. This is one of those takeoffs that's quite eye opening when someone finally executes it properly. It gives you freedom to know you can make waves that you never thought you could make! Yes you gotta try the faded takeoff. It's very weird at first and takes a little practice to learn to do them with speed. Also, just like anything in surfing, it feels way different than it looks. Watch ben considine do them for a better example. He gets some much speed on his. His feet are so close together and he really holds off the pop up till he feels he's positioned perfectly

@LongboardSessions

Well I don't own one so I'm not too sure of the subtle differences. One thing I know is foamy's don't glide as well while paddling or surfing which makes things different. Turning is also a bit different because they're normally tri fins. Basically a foam board acts "clunky" compared to a fiber glass board... but it hurts less to get hit by it haha!

I'm 6ft 3 but felt the 9 4 should be plenty be enough. Feels the like the margin of being too far forward or back is smaller than the 8ft foam.

@LongboardSessions

Жыл бұрын

It is a smaller margin for sure. Also, the length makes nosediving easy if you are angling to straight towards the beach. 9'4" could be big enough, but I would have recomended a 9'8" or larger given your height. Just keep at it trying to find the sweet spot. Make sure you're angling your takeoff and also catching the wave far before it breaks. Since you can get a good glide going on a longboard, establish yourself early before the wave breaks and get up. Hope that helps!

That felt weird, but I had to do it.

haha hey why not

Sorry mate, but a 60 degree take off is a bit of a long shot. Not necessary for late take offs.

Yes, 60 is an exaggeration for sure. But, when I tell new surfers to angle they never angle enough. My point is to angle more than you think on a late takeoff especially on a longboard

feels a lil to over compilated, just go out and experiment thats what surfing is all about.....

Well theres two ways to approach it. The "just go surf" way and the "having a goal each session" way. I did the just go surf method most of my life, but really started to improve when I started focusing on specific things. I think both ways are good, but some poeple are wired differently

Thanks for the great video but…… Liverpool, I’m sure your surfing is much better than your choice in football teams. 😂🤣

hahaha! You an everton or untied fan?

Dude, first i want to say i love your videos. But honestly? I don't think theres really much usefulness in talking about all these details. These seem to be the kind of stuff that only make sense to be theorized you when you already know how to do it. Most of surfing happens so fast that you can''t really think about most things you do while on the wave(all automatic, just like you said on a former video), so i think the majority of it has to be learned on practice. My final point is that i think that any 'tutorial' or 'advice' that goes beyong vague advice will not be useful even if it is right. Good advice is a right advice that can be applied to the situation ;) Greetings from a 1 year longboarder ;)

Ah quite a bit to unpack. Well, I thought the same as you awhile back. However, I started to really improve when I did focus on individual things while out in the water. For example, I didn't know how to cross step so I focused on a specific technique and started to learn faster. If you don't know how to do something and you just go out and try to do it over and over, you will eventually get it, but you'll get it faster if you use the "focused" practice. This is all my opinion though, other people do disagree with this. It's worked for me thus far tho! A second note, If I didn't dive deep into these ideas, I'd have nothing to make a video about lol. Let me know if this clears up my approach.

Dont forget the board pop where you reach forward pull back and sink the board into the wall and bounce out pop and go. Its a fast takeoff!
