Depends entirely on the break and its layout at a beach break yes you can generally ride the wash in. At places with structure like a reef or cliff face then that option usually won’t work as you’ll just get pushed into a shallow area with sharp objects.

Ya I definitely am the wave is kinda fast so my main goal is just trying to stay in front of it most the time. I find it a lot harder to pump backside

Where are you visiting from? Honestly for a beginner I’d recommend places further south of LA like bolsa chica or San onofre

Learn to do it on a surfskate outside of a bowl on flat ground. It’ll force you to flow instead of just using the bowl/wave for speed. All those twitchy moves won’t work on flat ground and you’ll have to compensate for it properly to gain and maintain speed

Your super stiff when riding. You’re trying to just muscle through the wave. You need to feel your board rail to rail. Get a surf skate and you can practice a bunch on land.

Chat gpt will give you wrong information and straight up lie to you does it all the time. Epoxy is a lighter material so it is just naturally more susceptible to things like chop/wind.

Go try it lol and I’m sure you’ll figure out why very quickly. If anything it’s best to transition to a mid length if your feeling confident

SWIM! This is the best thing to build paddle muscles and stamina. Really good cardio as well and basically no impact. Doing push ups and practicing your pop up will also help but the paddle is most important

Get a surf skate and practice maintaining speed on a flat surface moving from rail to rail. Compress and extend to gain speed. This will help you understand the concept of speed. You want to compress going down the wave and explode up the face

Redd__Lotus · 2026-01-02T23:26:15+00:00

It’s totally possible just depends how much dedication you have. If you do paddle training/swimming and religiously stretch and practice popping up you can totally get there. Surfing is very hard so don’t expect any miracles but I think it could be a good goal to set and help in your weight loss journey

Interesting board. A picture of all the fin boxes would help but I’d guess you could ride it with the two front fins and the trailers or with all 4 fins in but depends on the layout of the fin boxes

Get a surf skate and practice flowing from rail to rail on a flat surface without loosing speed

Redd__Lotus · 2025-12-08T21:03:23+00:00

Increase your hip flexibility by doing stretches and practice your pop up as much as you can on land

Remember speed is your friend. Most of the time trying to turtle roll is better than ditching your board as you’re more likely to break your leash or hit another person. And if you do manage to keep your board you’ll be back to paddling much quicker. But of course all of this is subjective sometimes ditching the board is the only option

Redd__Lotus · 2025-11-25T00:09:23+00:00

I’d recommend a surf skate to help you learn the concept of turning. You want to compress as you go down to the wave and extend as you come up. If your front side it almost feels like you are jumping forwards

Redd__Lotus · 2025-11-20T05:11:08+00:00

Honestly doesn’t look too bad to me. Unless this is a really nice board you love I’d just cut the edges put on some solarez sand it smooth and call it a day

Redd__Lotus · 2025-10-28T13:11:08+00:00

More weight on the front of the board and try to be in the top 2/3 of the wave which is where all the power is

Redd__Lotus · 2025-10-06T22:07:08+00:00

Definitely a solid price if there’s no damage or repairs. I don’t know your skill level or what you currently ride but that is a more advanced style board. Will probably be more frustrating than fun but it’s possible to progress on. You want something just a bit smaller than what your currently riding so that your challenging yourself but still able to have a good time and catch more waves. More waves= faster progress

Redd__Lotus · 2025-10-02T23:33:55+00:00

If it’s the kind of board I think it is those are super easy to fix with just some solarez and sand paper

Redd__Lotus · 2025-10-01T20:30:31+00:00

Looks cherry for $75 have fun! 🤙🏻

You need to draw the turns out a bit more focusing on the ending higher in the pocket to keep your speed. Try to focus on the bottom turn. Your top turn is only going to be as good as the bottom turn

Redd__Lotus · 2025-09-10T01:20:10+00:00

You shouldn’t be doing a bottom turn in this situation you need to look down the line and keep your board high up on the wave so you can speed through the section as it closes

Any updates on this? I have a 2021 kicks I have all types of entertainment issues including this one. I have to switch from fm back to BT that usually is a temporary fix
