I did my first one at 66 i did 11 of them 3 days ago, but i have small fins and i want to do real ones with real fins, this great tutorial will help a lot! You got a knack. Subbed
Literally the best surf tutorial on youtube. You’re a great teacher! You’re regular surfing looks pretty spicy too. Please do some more tutorials, they’d bring in massive views I’m sure 🤙
i guess im asking randomly but does any of you know a trick to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my password. I love any tips you can offer me.
Cheers man! Best breakdown I’ve come across so far. Always wanted to learn this and have tried just figuring it out myself but with no luck! Looking forward to trying again 🤞🏻🤙🏻
right on. Good luck and on your first go, make sure to go quad or quad front fins only. If you go thruster, maybe take the rear fins out or use a stabilizer fin instead. You want to start by sliding teh 360 so having less drag at the very rear is key.
@@ThomyeSurfsthanks mate! Haven’t been in the water yet but will let you know how I get on! I only ever ride twins so I should be fine okay on those I’m guessing?! 🤙🏻
One really important bit about why you should use the right equipment to make it easier on yourself. If you make it harder on yourself, you run the risk of building bad muscle memory. Once the bad technique gets locked in, it will be 10x harder to fix. I do this with my airs. I have built so much bad muscle memory, I can't seem to fix what I know I'm doing incorrectly.
Yeah that s the problem i get too. I surf better some days and then few days without surfing and then it comes back. Wrong back foot position not looking where i should not low enough on my legs and so on. Surf skate helped me though
Finally something i can relate to. If you continue to put out content like this, your channel is going to blow up. great stuff! -- both video & tutorial.
I was thinking of a short series where I film me trying to learn a air reverse. I have been trying for years now and have only come close once. You think a video like that would be interesting? funny part about that air which was the first reverse I ever landed but fell soon after was that I dreamt it the night before. It was in my muscle memory but after that day, I didn't surf for 3 weeks, I think covid lockdown. Can't remember. Now i totally forgot how I did it. :(
@@ThomyeSurfs absolutely. I enjoyed the fact that it was technical yet simple and there wasnt a bunch of fluff (plus comedy at the end was classic). You got straight to the point and made it relatable. As a decent late 80's/early 90's kid skater who found surfing in his 20's I've been obsessed with those skate moves on a surfboard (360's, backside alley-oops, tail slides, etc.). I think the air-reverse video would be awesome even though I'm just trying to land a regular air lol. I see in your videos that you have good get up and go speed and can generate momentum which I think is half the battle for most of us.
Thank you for this vid Thomye! I broke my leg too. In the most foolish way, of course, landing on the flat of that gigantic kicker they probably still have in Mammoth. But at least I learned to do multiple 360’s on the slope. Not airs. It took me 4 years living in mammoth though. Great tutorial! Keep it up🤙🏼
The hardest part will be that weight transfer, it happens really quick. Just remember, no speed if possible, have your board mid wave or at the point where the top of the wave is at about your thighs, lift your nose up like you are about to kick out, and as soon as you do that, tranfer the weight and put it all up front (another way to put it is go weightless on the back so the fins disengage). Good luck and literally spend the whole day doing it with small fins. :) I did my first, in the white water but it was one of those days where the wave was still forming under the whitewater. You can do it. 🤙
sweet. Glad you found my channel too. My best friend is Irish. He's now been in America longer than Ireland but his Irish accent is pretty strong. He surfs a Seaside too. I think his parents live on the south coast of Ireland. Someday planning to make it out there to check it out.
Nice tutorial, Thom!! As I get older, falling on hard pavement doesn't have the same appeal anymore. The only skating I do now is to get from my car to the bathroom at the beach. LOL
@@pullinside9 not sure. it says it was delivered to my mailbox according to tracking info except, there is no way it would fit in my mailbox. So I have to believe it wasn't delivered, he left it by my mailbox and someone took it.
right on. I'm super stoked for you. It gets so much easier after the first one too. I've only had like 3 people so far tell me that they got one. But 3 is better than none. :)
Outstanding tutorial! And dig the retro skate photos! I’ve done a handful of frontside 360’s here and there, but lack consistency. HUGE takeaway for me here is don’t go so fast 💨 and once I kick the board over 181 degrees on the lip line to remember to unweight my back foot 🦶
BTW, unweight as soon as your board hits that lip line. so before you get to the 180, at about 120. it happens so quick it looks like I'm unweighted at 180 but it is a tad sooner.
They are also easy to do on take offs of waves that are not too step or to big, as you start dropping in just put your weight forward and kind of kick out you tail as you kind of turn upwards, your fins slide, you get backwards, you stay low and spin around. Love the feeling of them, once you get one you will understand whats needed and not too hard after that. I personally think a wider stance also helps, it's really just a 180 slide of the front half of your board like that last slide he does on a skateboard, biggest mistake is people trying to lift their nose and turn off their tail like a skateboard 360.
agreed. i think people don't unweight their back leg quick enough. it happens so quick. but it is funny that once you do it, you look back and question how you were doing to before that wasn't working. You almost forget.
let me know how it goes. I had a few people tell me they were able to do it so hoping you can too. Start by taking the back fin out, it really helps and once you get the feeling of it, you can do it with the fin in and incorporate it into you surfing. Cheers
nice breakdown...love the last photo with the Christian Hosoi board doing a classic air..got into surfing at 33 and then skating at 42...I stopped after 4 years cause i found out i have minor arthritis in the one knee...it was fun and very risky for injury...wished i started younger
Yeah, after that last example/fail, I think I want to start skating again just to see if I can do it. So bad that I can't even do a sliding 360. I used to do that at full speed. I wonder if my wheels are just to sticky. I did change them out for my kid. By daughter laughed her ass off when she saw my video.
@@ThomyeSurfs Hey tony hawk is still doing prety much all the same tricks he invented past age 50 im sure youd have no problem doing a few things. im deffinately gonna do some easy skate stuff again...i remebered the other reason i stopped skating was also because i use to start work at 2pm so id have the skate park all to mmyself...but now i work mornings.
@@MrAeroled99 I wonder though if Tony Hawk stopped cold turkey and then got on a skate after 30 years, if it would feel awkward or would he go right back to it. I have a carver board that I use once in a while to skate to my mailbox. But no tricks or ollies in 34 years. anyways, I don't ever plan to stop surfing. I think it is the only reason I am still somewhat limber. But I should stretch more.
@@ThomyeSurfs good question becasue the stuff he was doing 30 years ago was insane for the average skater...yes i have a carver too..the monter carver with the front truck on a swivel thing....i think just doing front sides on a half pipe is good for surfing.using the same muscle... after learning and doing that over and over on the ramp my surfing top turn felt way better and i am not a big carver in surfing...warm up and stretch more before surf and id stretch after too. get like a tennis ball and putt it against the wall and loosen up your back and shoulders and tricp ect. deep tissue massage stuff. i use to see mick fanning before a heat just before he retired bent over doing light swinging motion with the arms to get the blood flow...id always thought when your in the ocean and your cold and waiting a while...then you go into super explovies paddilng... cant be good for your body.i saw JOB last vlog were he did 4 hour sess at pipe and he does hot steam room and then sits in a ice cube bath for 3 minutes for faster recovery... basically When you sit in cold water, your blood vessels constrict; when you get out, they dilate (or open back up). This process helps flush away metabolic waste post-workout, i was think about doing this for my arms.
@@MrAeroled99 I have the Monster Carver too. I should try an ice bath, or just take my wetsuit off and go back into the ocean. haha The very thought scares me.
Thanks a lot for the video. I really want to pull a 360. I tried many times and I am not even close. I am changing my fins to small and using my groveller next time.
good luck, let me know how it goes. just remember, as you get it a quarter turn, put all your weight on that front foot and try to slide and not carve.
Tried my first attempts this after noon at el porto. I need to keep working. I think I need to transfer my weight to my front foot. Ill keep trying!!!! Thanks for the tips!
@@franmarch also remember to pick a steep section. although I learned and did my very first in a fat high tide day in the white water. white water that was still rolling where it not guttered out. almost like a san o crumble.
I've never thought of it that way, but it could help i guess. I do it more as a pivot point, the same thing happen when doing a bottom turn. it's almost like you want to go around your arm.
Hi Thomye, I'm back here to thank you for this clip. Following your tips I finally land a 360 a few weeks ago! I was so excited. I´m now 46 years old and this maneuver was on my to-do list. I thought this would stay on that list forever! I was surfing for 30 years at an intermediate level, I guess. I grew up watching other kids and videos doing 360s. Of course, I tried from time to time, but never with this methodical approach. In my case, the key was focusing on fin release. Truly, this was a life lesson for me. I don't think I've ever felt so motivated to surf. So, thanks Thomye!@@ThomyeSurfs
@@elcanut right on, stoked for you. Now onto the air reverse. :) Let's GO!!!! I'll have to stomp that one so I can put out a part 2 to my how to air video. :) Congrats brotha, happy for you.
Nice video! Will give it a try today. Would you recommend taking out the back fins from the Machado quads on a Seaside? Or rather stick to the full quad setup? When tryiing to learn these... Thanks!
used to surf 21 but that place zoo'd out lately so I have been going a little further north to about 23. Funny thing, these last few swells though have been pushing south so I end up at seasalt which is basically 21.5.
@@ThomyeSurfs so I'm not really sure, cause is more a fun trick than a serious manouver, but it's similar of yours, the different is that I make on a right wave (I'm goofy like you). I don't make the full rotation, I wait a little while surfin backword, and than I turn. On frontside I made also in only one move, without surfing backword.
Your not old until you give up having fun. Old people think eating is fun. I'm only 65...

neither. i think i'm low to the water but i don't use my hands at all. At least not for the turn itself. Balance yes.
