haha well thanks!! Love turnstile

I grew up surfing very small summer waves in York Beach Maine, and The Wall in New Hampshire. I used this same technique, not because the waves were fast, but they were very weak. In certain circumstances, the pop up can be used as a mini "pump" to accelerate into the noseride. Veedster does this really well. I needed to get to the nose fast because an 8" wave doesn't have a long ride anyway. It maximized my noseride time. Another really fun technique that uses your quick pop-up/ one step to the nose. Do a long fade turn, but instead of a sweeping bottom turn to set up for cross stepping, do a short pivot stall and then run to the nose like you did in this video. It creates a speed variation (fast on the fade, almost stopping on the pivot, very fast once you hit the nose) that I think looks and feels really fun. I also think this works really well on shifting sand beach breaks like New Jersey/ Long Island/ OB/ South Bay

@LongboardSessions

10 ай бұрын

So true about the small waves.. faster you get there the more hang time you get! Wow I'll have to try that pivot fade thing. I believe I know exactly what you're talking about. Iv'e somewhat experienced that hard stall to a nearly 0 speed cross step, to insane acceleration on the nose. It's hard for me to get the timing down as I typically will just lose the wave because I didn't get to the nose fast enough.

Been surfing since I’ve be 8 years old. This is such good content! First min already hooked!

@livingcoastalinventura

10 ай бұрын

To really set up an excellent steep locked in nose ride or ten you need two things. 1 enter from deep and steep from behind the pocket. (The nose ride is a stall it’s self) so you want to enter with speed and once you step onto the nose in the five or ten position. You need to be going slightly faster then the wave, so when the “stall “takes place you end up in the curl. Now the second part. You need to be familiar enough with this feeling to surf from the nose, and 3 maneuvers work well from the nose to speed up or slow down. You can poke the nose down with your weight or press the nose into the pocket. You can do speed pump or wiggle the five position scraping under the lip. Or you can step back into the cheater five to turn under and around the section.

I love how you handled this! I know the beach break struggle all too well surfing in the North East. I'm just happy when I can make my way to the end of the board with both feet, even if I'm an inch or so away from actually getting my toes off the nose. There's such a short window of opportunity to make it happen, but I appreciate your realistic approach. I will be trying this two steps to the nose approach, makes a lot of sense. As surfers we're always looking to improve our skills and look more stylish and graceful while doing so, but ultimately we're all surfing because it fricki'n FUN! Who cares if you don't get them toes off every time?! Not me! :)

Fantastic video. Distilling criticism in to suggestions or advice can be difficult. Especially from rando internet "authorities". But you sure did it here. You rose to the challenge of getting toes over the nose. Toes on or near the nose is already difficult. And that extra couple inches can feel like a mile. There are plenty of people that reach a level of skill that seems to satisfy them. And they're content with that for life. And I'm glad they're out there having fun. But I'm like you. I'm always working on learning a new skill or relearning one I didn't get quite right the first time. Unless you're in a contest or showing off to your buddies you're only surfing for you and your enjoyment. I recall you saying in earlier videos that you were documenting your progress at long boarding. You're still doing that. Keep up the good work and keep having fun

The beach break is so expansive, I can use these 1-2' waves to focus on fundamentals and practice basics, such as my popup. (Nowhere near noseriding yet for me.)

Thanks for another great video, sooner or later critics will come thats the price you pay when you become youtuber. My kook advice, you should sprint to the nose as soon as you finish your bottom turn and the nose is pointing to the shoulder, as you did when you got it right. otherwise theres no trimming to hold you on the nose, you should know that :) surely depends on the wave also, so I thnk the the speed of bottom turning and trimming is important to and not just the speed of the stepping. Keep pushing you.

@@LongboardSessions So would it be ok to say that the Chingona is not an specific nose-riding design regardless of your being able to nose ride thanks to your skills? My board has long parallel rails and sort of narrows at the nose and with my (poor) skills at surfing there is no way for me to reach the nose so I am really over-thinking desing in order to get my new board. I am OBSESSED with nose riding and that is were I want to put all my effort (and money) in.

Ahh…the myth of surfers being laid back, caring, and at peace with the world: bullshit. This Nose Dodgers “expert” seems to embody, unfortunately, what so many surfers are really all about. Brian, your video is a brilliant and inspiring middle finger to the “nose dodgers” of the world who get all jammed up at us kooks having fun in the water. Keep the videos coming!

haha thanks!! Well as for cameras, most things are shot on a sony a6600, but the in the water gear is different. Bryan uses a panasonic gh6 I believe, but I'm not exactly sure. I forget the brand of housing as well.. but the whole setup aint cheap !

I think he's right about a 5 might be but at the same time you can ride a longboard and enjoy just the glide. But if Iyouwant to make a real hang 5 this is how you need to do and train for this. You already done the harder part to cross step to here already 😁🤙🏽

Agree !! Yea it actually does help to worry about what's going on at the end of your board. It almost makes you more aware of things. However for people just learning how to get to the end of their board, it's the last thing they should think about lol

Exactly. You got it!

We are all kooks ... That fin is crazy. Do you think changing it out will give you more stability for the nose ride?

This fin is actually extremely stable on the nose. Even though the base is not so wide, the heavy rake brings the stability. It's a very cool fin.. review is coming haha
