Next level material right here folks. This is the best surf technique information on UA-cam.
I have been skating on my smoothstar and have noticed that if you have a line (like on a tennis or basketball court) and you rail to rail from heel to toe to cross that line, and then toe to heel cross that line again, you are able to generate heaps of speed and create great movement and leverage. I noticed you doing that at the end of your video. Maybe that was intentional. I have skated with friends and once they do this consciously they are able to do it properly instead of just wiggling the board. Great video. Great series.
This is so awesome. Thanks for making this series.
Fantastic explanation! Thanks man!
Noel uploading on my birthday!! no better gift than that. Kepp it up mate
Thanks for breaking it down, really helps cement the whole flow 'feeling' to now consciously focus on! Will lift my surfing no doubt, Cheers
Super! Una delle più belle spiegazioni viste su UA-cam
Great work and video Noel, thanks!
Next level teaching as usual.
Gracias👌
Dude you rip and have really awesome style, and this video helped me immensely. Mahalo brah 🤙
thank you for being detailed to aspects of the compression/extend technique ... I do it but not as well defined as it's become from watching videos ... my friends can tell a difference ... hahahaha .. that say a lot to me, but most importantly, I can perform better on the wave and I am watching more where I am going ... it all just come together and really get to be more fun ... good stuff Noel (and your brother!)
Great video! Thanks 🙏
glad to see I'm not the only one getting exhausted on a surfskate after 5 minutes 😄
Interesting, i never thought about riding a skateboard like that as a workout. Id always just focus on technique when riding one. Im gonna have to try that, looks like a good fun cardio workout
Noel is just perfect. Like a programmed machine. 👌🏾
Back in the 80's that's exactly how I used to ride my skateboard. LOL, Now I need to get a Carver.
Same here! I used to use tic-tacs (I think that's the term) rather than pushing most of the time when I was a kid. The big difference with the surfskate is that you can extend all the movements and lead with your head & shoulders exactly like surfing, where that can get choppy, crossed up and disconnected on a regular board. I've only had mine for about a month, and it's been a huge game-changer already.
I’m 48 and I just bought a smoothstar surfskate. Can’t beleive I did that 😂
Legend! In my opinion proper compressing/extension is why EVERY intermediate surfer lacks power and throws little spray.
Best tutorials out there! Keep them coming..... look forward to the more advanced ones.
PS: I thought all surfers had a slightly open front foot? Feels more natural when getting your weight forward especially when you open the shoulders towards where you are heading (square front foot feels like you will roll an ankle lol)
I Agree
This will probably sound like a super beginning question, but I think its one of the more important things.
The take off, how to paddle in on different types of waves, angle, not angle, weight on back foot, weight on front foot , steep waves, fat waves, barreling waves, late takeoffs , paddle technique, weight shift, taking off back side, taking off frontside, hand position on board fingers wrapped slightly, hands flat on board. general anything to do with take offs I think would make for a great episode or episodes, after all this where it starts.
But I love the content, and I for one will check out the patreon.
All of that is very important... however most of that is very beginner and I am not doing beginner stuff right now. Right now I am focused on the Lower end Intermediate - Expert Surfers. We might do more beginner stuff in the near future and I am sure some of our community is looking for the topics you are talking about. All in due time.... Cheers!!!
You're actually not supposed to grab the rails on any take off i believe.. i think your hands are supposed to be flat on the deck of your board every time. And with different types of takeoffs, i can't see any way to simulate that on land instead of just real world experience in the lineup
I poorly described what I was after. It was more about the little tricks and tweaks taking off on different waves, breaks and size. As a quick example if I take off on a racing beachbreak with potential for barrel going backside. I would paddle more or less sideways, “beach hand” with fingers slightly wrapped as to assist to jank the board if needed, smaller wave weight mostly backfoot in drop, I also tend to have my front arm slightly infront on the board as it helps me with hip rotation , and so on and so forth. Doing frame by frame on favorite surfers as they takeoff has shown me lot if interesting things, not all work for me but still good. And the Patreon is the bomb! Thanks!
Daniel T Good stuff... thanks for the ideas. Cheers
exactly what i needed atm.
Love all of your videos. Hope to you surfing in hb some day.
Good stuff Noel! I'm going to subscribe to your Patreon!
Yewww!!! Welcome to our Family
Best carver info!!!!
thanks!!!
What an intro!
Thanks Noel. You’ve been solely responsible for the amount of boards I’ve tried over the last 2 years. Really appreciate the content. Will definitely check out patron. Question for u. How do u balance the rail to rail compress extend without catching rail?? Is there also an element of back foot pressure greater than front which we doesn’t really show up on skateboard which is possibly more even footed? From viewing When u break down compress down the wave looks like weight is front footed but when u extend you can see the nose lifts out of the water. So is that like doing a kind of “Ollie” in skateboard terms?
Hey noel! Up until now what are you’re favorite boards for 2020?
Also could you give us some insight to you’re personal quiver ?
thanks so much your brill!
This. is. great!
thank you !!
Hey Noel! Loved this video. Do you mind sharing what Carver model skateboard you were using?
Stoked you liked it!!! I am using the Yago Dora 30.75' Model with the C7 Truck.
Surf n Show Reviews thank you!
very informative information Noel thank you for the video unfortunately us older guys thats a little harder to do and skateboards i havent been on one in over 40 years
Jody Blackwell Then just soak up the surfing tutorials. I recommend applying 1 thing from our lessons to your surfing and you will see improvement. Cheers
@@surfnshowreviews7777 thank you Noel i plan on it being in the 65 and older group and been surfing for 60 years im still learning i do not consider my self an expert in any way even if i have been in the surfing life style for so long.
I'm 62 and skating my concrete half pipes down here in Mexico most every night. This tutorials are gold!
Great!!!!
Could you explain when to pump rail to rail vs when to bottom turn and top turn? In your first example, you pump but then your second example, you bottom turn first.
Crisby Creamby It’s all about reading the wave.... I gave you two different scenarios.
I have a carver and find it very beneficial as a way to cross train and practice different maneuvers while on land. What is your best advice for cross training for paddling fitness? Obviously just surfing would be the best option to stay in good paddling shape but being on the east coast us where it isnt super consistant doesn't allow me to do that. Especially during summer. I've thought about either just swimming or paddling on a board up and down the beach on days when it isn't rideable. I appreciate any input. Thanks!
j m Yup... swimming and paddling are the best ways to cross train for surfing in my opinion.
The best
Trying to understand the compression part. I am not a surfer, more a hardboot snowboard carver, which has some parallel to surfing technique (extreme carving came from it). At 10:27 when you are showing compression, you show compressing on toe and heel side equally, but as you get more into it at 10:37 it looks like you are favouring compressing on your toe-side more than your heel-side. is that a surf thing, i.e., is it more efficient to compress then push on toe-side because of the mechanics of the ankle joint? Or do you favour one side more than other (which is the same for snowboarding for most people unless you are pro). Or am I not seeing it correctly? :-)
Beatiful video for learn but it’s possibile for italian people ... subjet in Italy 🤪thanks
Is that board any different to a smoothstar or similar? I find when it gets bigger, and you have alot of speed transfuring good habits from those boards can go out the window a bit. When you get too much speed on those boards the 'surf feel' goes out the window, so training for those high speed critical turns is difficult. Have you got any insights into using those boards for some 5ft+ fast point breaks? Also what board was the checkered one it was looking great under foot
Samwise The Carvers are better for speed carves as you can tighten the front truck. I agree that the Smoothstar is not good at high speeds.... it’s hard to control. I like the C7 truck on the Carvers, you can ride it super loose for tighter turns at slower speeds and really work on tight wraps, carves, and round house cutbacks. Then tighten it up and do some high speed carves. The checkered board is the Hayden Shapes Miscellaneous.
@@surfnshowreviews7777 you are all over it like a fat kid on cake!! Thanks. A twinny, who would have thought, it just looks like you are on a great thruster
Same thing in the empty pool!
thanks for these great videos. how does your point ~9:00 about keeping the front foot squared off for rail pressure jibe with advice to keep a more hips-facing-forward (rather than ‘poo’) stance?
Keeping your front foot square will make for sharper turns…. The way you bend your back knee and opening your shoulders and hips with proper arm positioning will give your technique proper and solid.

1-do u feel real different between epoxy to pu. In rail to rail?2)what is this boards u ride there
Thanks champ 👍
surfer EPS has more pop, it’s lighter.. so I can put it where I want faster to generate speed or do maneuvers quicker.The fist board is the Seaside and the second board is Akila Aipa Winged Twin in PU/Poly. Both boards are insane!!!
@@surfnshowreviews7777 akia board is insane man
Thanks for the answers 😊
🐐 you should do in persons lessons, I’m from hb and I’d be down to pay your price for some lessons

Can you please review the Hayden shapes Hypto Krypto
Nolan Corengia Yup... I just go one. It will be a bit... other boards are in line before it but the review is coming. Hang tight
I ride D2 and BV2 trying to ride more on rail feel like I ride more flat at times or struggle to put board on rail. Any tips with the boards I’m riding to help accomplish that ?
Make sure your back foot is all the way back on the tail kick or tail block.
Another important thing is increase heel and toe pressure for each rail turn
You need to explain those Buried Board Bottom turns better? Compression? The board is submerged an probably nearly ready to snap under the force an then You pull a finslidey skip sheet spray at the top with nothing but a thin slice of fin. Beautiful Stuff.
I bet You don't remember whappen most surfs. Your supersessions when Your in the Zone on fire. So Psyched Now.Unreal.
We will get into bottom turns soon... right now I am trying to lightly talk about them as tow side rail turns. One step at a time... stoked you liked it.
Love the video! Getting good at pumping on my skateboard and these tips really do translate well to my shortboard ie it works!! Any specific tips for pumping on your backhand would definately be appreciated or how to simulate this on the skareboard. Got forehand pumping dialled now 🤙Thank you
kiterJ Becime a Patron and watch episode 2. I give you the Carver drills backside and dive deeper into front side.
@@surfnshowreviews7777 thank you
any suggestion for kind of skate to use ? brand? ty
I chose Carvers for good reason... they are great for speed drills, excellent carving similar to surfing with C7 truck, and most user friendly in all the Surf Skate drills we do in our Tutorials.
Interesting, almost every other surf video that discusses stance advices against having feet facing forward.
🤙‼️
If the front door "naturally" places itself in an angle why would I want to change it to an unnatural way? If the body does it, isn't because that's where it feels more comfortable at?
Are the next classes on vimeo? There is no way to translate the subtitles like yotube?

@@surfnshowreviews7777 Is it possible to put a caption and translate it on this site?
Eduardo Ribeiro Maybe in the future... sorry
It blows my mind that you suggest putting the feet squared to the shoulder. In my surfing/skating/snowboarding education, it's always been the case that front foot having a little bit of positive angle is a good thing. Back foot can stay at neutral (0' degree). Anyone cares to explain?
Everybody's body's are kind of different too. Some people have very tight hip muscles that can cause they're feet to point outwards too. But simulating on land gets you practicing good habits for when you're actually in the water
Fully agree! I surf, skate, windsurf, kitesurf. A square front foot is not natural, limits you opening ya shoulders (very important for all heel side carves/backside bottom turns) Also makes it hard to weight your front foot, and finally less balance.
*think Noel might be referring more to the carver skateboard with the parallel stance....
@ccoovvii I was also surprised to hear that. I know while surfing on your backside opening the front foot can help open your shoulders to get more speed down the line. But there might be something to what he said about a more parallel stance allowing for more torque and radical maneuvers. You should watch the pros and see what their stance is like. See if it changes from frontside to backside. Noel's content is the best for sure, but there is a lot we can do as viewers to answer some of our own questions by closely observing surfers we like. Noel can't explain every step to the whole internet, he's close though.
Noel, are you noticing a big difference out in the water? With muscle memory, improved mobility, etc. You already rip the foam off the hinges & send it!!! Just curious if the Carver exercises are amping up you’re already explosive & lit sessions?
Great question.... yes, I am noticing smoother transitions from rail to rail with more speed and flow. I love working on surfing waves top to bottom and really working on getting smoother rail to rail with more speed. I will get into what I am personally working as we go deeper into each series so our Patrons can see my struggles and break through on my personal goals.
Are you riding a quad setup or thruster on your seaside and aipa, and all your main boards? Thx
dan alvarez Seaside is Quad only... Aipa is Twin + Trailer
I get stuck on the top of the wave and rarely can come down again. I give one to two pumps and BAM: I'm stuck on the top and can get down. I go up and can't come down....
You might have too much foam. How much do you weigh, how tall are you, and what are the dims and volume of your board?
@@surfnshowreviews7777 (thank you!)
I'm 5'7, 114lbs(??) and I surf a hybrid fish 5'8, (30l).
Maybe I don't press my heels too much or at the right time, or I don't compress as much as I think I'm compressing...I definitely need to work on this.
@@ivydune4185 You are riding too much foam. When you get to the top of the wave to come off the lip the board is to buoyant for your weight to push back down the wave quickly. Here are some Liter ranges at different skill levels to think about.
Pro/Expert = 18-20L
Advanced = 20-22L
Intermediate = 23-25L
Beginner/Intermediate = 26-28L
@@surfnshowreviews7777 Thank you, thank you! (Or maybe I could eat more LOL)
Should we really be surfing with both feet square? I swear everyone seems to open their front foot 🤔
I think we all have the front foot open a little but being more square is better than being more open in my opinion
@@surfnshowreviews7777 that's interesting. Why do you think square is better? Snowboarders only ride square if they have a symmetrical board such that they can ride it switch. In that case they want to be square to make switch and natural as efficient as each other. However when they have more of a directional board (i.e. for slalom) they have the front foot (and often both feet) opened and pointed in the direction of travel. This allows the hips to point more in the direction they want to go rather than the knee and ankle joints being overly twisted and restricted. So why do you think that being square in surfing is better considering boards are only designed to go in one direction and not ridden switch?
@@Stomperproductions Keeping your front foot more square makes your turns sharper with less effort. I find that when my front foot is more square it creates more twist or torque as it creates more torque with my lower body resists my upper body movement
@@surfnshowreviews7777 hmmmm valid point. So you restrict some vision to benefit from body tension transferring to your board more efficiently. Do you find it harder to go down the line on your backhand with the feet square? I.e. if you have to twist to look down the line you end up transferring that twist to your board and turning when you might not want to? Or do you just rotate your head separately by an extreme amount? I'm 1/100th of the surfer you are, but found that opening my front foot really helped me to be able to look down the line on my back hand. So now I'm thinking I should try and unlearn my recently learned habit....
@@Stomperproductions I have a tendency to drive my back knee into my front knee when I’m pumping for speed backside down the line and that helps me open my shoulders to look down the line easier. Remember I said I try to keep my front somewhat square but it’s still a little open but not on purpose.
