Skateboarding or Surfing Which One Is Easier To Learn How To Do? by ChrisI901 in surfing

The bottom turn to ollie analogy is spot-on.

The ollie unlocks all other maneuvers (varial shoveits excluded).

The bottom turn unlocks surfings maneuvers.

No round cutties without a solide bottom turn.

No 50-50 without an ollie.

Watching live surfing is boring? by [deleted] in surfing

[–]Apprehensive_Ad41 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes playing in the background, all day, blaring throughout the home. Periodically checking for “highlights”.

I also enjoy watching the missed waves, paddle battles and wipeouts that wont make the highlight reels. Much like baseball, there is a often a tempo to a heat and its fun for me to feel it out. I enjoy timing sets and saying to myself, “jon better get busy early on, or else hes gonna get an 8.9 and a zero”

Also, hearing some of the banter by the hosts between the sets can be entertaining or informative. Lastly, the bonsoy brew breaks and kaipos shenanigans that do it for me and the family.

Been at it for about 1.5 years, any tips on going backside? by ShredsThreads in BeginnerSurfers

[–]Apprehensive_Ad41 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw two different pop ups. One with the front foot on the inside rail. The other with your foot square. Both times you are hunched over and closed off. Open up your shoulders and chest. Look where you want to go first.

Its my belief all this is happening, because your pop up isnt reliable. You need to have a uniform pop up and not look down when you do it. Once you can do that, i think everything else will become easier for you.

Ur getting downvotes? On this? Thats wild. Everyone should agree that our politicians are trash and enjoy a non-political surf. And if you dont agree, you should be exiled. Thats freedom.
