I was so pumped to watch this. I had to wait all day as that pest called work got in the way. Excellent tips that I can't wait to go and try out on my surfskate. Thanks Kale for all the awesome work.
Hi there my friend! So, congratulación for the video really easy tips. I got a Yow SurfSkate (maid in Spain) and it’s so smooth board, I love it! Have a nice day👋🏻🧡
Got my manta ray smoothstar a couple weeks ago. Couldnt barely stand on it, now im genersting speed even uphill. I reckon I've progressed a years worth of surfing already. So fun and convenient especially now I'm a dad. Thanks Kale.
Love it Kale! I am signed up for the Course and only done a small amount of it - this has given me a kick up the bum to start practicing on my Smoothstar. Love the Shovel analogy! :)
Just my obligatory “would you ever get into foiling?” comment Love all the tips! Simply practicing with a surf skate has helped me carve and generate speed on a wave with a longboard and reeeeeeeally ride it like never before. I’m trying to apply it to shortboard but don’t really have the best waves for it.
@@KalesBroccoli Just chiming in here, that's genuinely too bad. I live inland close to a lake, but picked up surfskating to help me with my foiling. Would love to see you on a foil sometime!
So exited I saw this tutorials made by you. So well explained! What distance do you recommend between the cones for a complete beginner? Thanks for creating this video 🤙🏻🌊🛹
Great project in the makings. Lots of people are turning to surfskating as a surf trainer. Personally, I started with a budget board - Decathlon's carver (Oxelo 540) but quickly realized that its trucks are hindering my turns and you can't really go through cones placed close one to another without ending on 2 wheels. Now, I'm using a Smoothstar Holy Toledo and I'm really happy although a deck a bit more concave might help more when attempting to do tricks. In terms of movement, I feel that I need to put a lot of concious effort to generate speed using the proper technique so I kinda cheat a lot by wiggling and not compressing/extending enough (or at all). Would love to find out more about how to correct that. This also affects my snaps on smooth ramps (not bowl) as I can't get to the top part of the ramp. I mostly loose the momentum while going up so the trick usually ends incomplete. Looking forward for the episodes on tricks as well. Good luck and keep up the good vibes Kale🤙
I also started wit the Oxelo 540. Within 4 weeks I changed to Carver trucks on Oxelo board. Now 6 months later have a completely new Carver setup. But I did like the fact that Oxelo got me going and got me to 85% of the efficiency and 100% of the learning.
Wow, probably the most important surfskate video I ever saw. I think I will get myself the surfskate program at some stage! Keep up the great work boss!
HEY! This course is "the best", I'm Brazilian, I found this world of surfskate and I'm never going to leave it again! I use national skateboards manufactured here in Brazil like those from Ballon and Chico's because it is very expensive and difficult to find equipment here in Brazil and these national models are fantastic.... I recommend the course but I leave a suggestion here, respond more often In the comments on the course, I had questions about putting together the cone diagrams for training and I still haven't received an answer!
11:00 - great explanation! Thank you! I've been learning to pump down the wave to generate speed and have made a lot of fun progress this year but I'm starting to get hip pain( right side). I'm almost 50 and it's discouraging. I'll try that compression/extension suggestion. Also, I just subscribed. I thought I already was? Thanks for being a great resource, Kale! 😊👍
try different position of your front and back leg, and see which one hurt less your hip - it works for me (every time I change the surfskate I have this issue, with my hip or with my knee)
Been waiting for this series, just built a really cool surf skate with the water born surf trucks, had my own training routine going, and been noticing a difference in the water, now I can add these other techniques into it and hopefully see more results, Thanks for sharing these tips and techniques. Excited for the next video👍
See if anything i think the penny board helps with my pumping because the front trucks are harder to move, it takes more effort to keep speed coming out of turn which is what I need to work on in surfing.
Hii thanks a lot for your videos, they’re really helpful! 🙏🏼 I have a question for you, I hope you can give me some advise. When I surf I’m regular, but I’m goofy when I skate. Can’t explain it, I just really can’t skate regular. So I was wondering if skating with the other foot in the front really helps me in the waves because obviously all the mouvements are in the other direction. Should I persist and try to skate regular or is it still helpful if I’m skating goofy?
Question, I've recently picked up surfing and surf skating and I'm curious about my calves burning. When I surf skate, my calves burn, its a good burn but it burns, kinda like lifting weights with high reps. So the questions is, is this normal and will my calves have that same feeling once I'm able to catch waves and ride for more than 15 seconds?
awesome video! I've been surf skating for about a month and have just been learning from videos here and there but this is a really concrete exercise thanks!
Hey, Kale, great tutorial. Thank you. One question... Do you drive with your back foot? I'm so afraid of the board slipping out from under me... it's happened 3x since I started on Saturday. Thanks, again, mate.
Cx trucks with orangutan purple knuckle bushings is very surfing feeling, more like carving on a poinbreak, also allows you to make long bottom turns with steady speed. I'm not a big fan of snappy turns on concrete. I have a toledo 77, doesn't feel as natural and flowy as my CX
Thanks Kale. I love your tutorials! With this one though I'm having some difficult translating it to my goofy brain. Can you show some goofy students next time?
Yow Skalle 34 Christenson + Smoothstar Toledo 77 ( for everyday ride I use Yow, but for skatepark I want to try more of Smoothstar (i m not there yet ;)))
Since most of the turning action comes from the front truck, how much tension (or lack of) should the rear truck have? Too much combined motion of both trucks together would make it that much more difficult for an absolute beginner with little or no skateboard experience to learn the basics of balance!
I recently bought a Filipe Toledo 77 surfskate board to improve my surfing and your videos will help me a lot, thank you so much! Greetings from the Canary Islands 🤙
Bro. I am pissed that UA-cam only just suggested this video . The high/low around the cones was a game changer for me 🤯 thanks for sharing your wisdom, cobba
Can a regular skateboard be used in the same manner to generate speed? I purchased a skateboard to work on my surfing, but speed generation seems difficult at best.
I surf regular left foot forward. But i skate with my right foot forward so... I am confuse, should I train skating left foot forward even if its really weird ?
How do you recommend to set the distance between cones? I am practicing it for the past few sessions and feel like it is just killing my speed all the time.
I have a Carver. I love my board but the nose dive has been really. In the last 5 months I have done it twice. I strongly advise safety gear to lower heal time. I hope your video helps me with my speed I have hit a pump track it's not easy at all due to not getting enough speed.
Great tutorial man! Just got my first proper surfskate after riding with a surf adapter on my esk8 for a while. Although i have skated for years and can carve, surfskate is very different to my usual riding style and your breakdown of the technique is perfect! I know what to work on when i have my first session today, can't wait!🤙🤙🤙
Hello Kale, I really admire the setup you have. What is the name and specs of the deck, the trucks and wheels you have on the the board that you’re riding in this video. Also where is the skate park you’re at in the beginning of the tutorial. I just put together an Arbor Foundation Series deck with Paris V3 180/50 longboard trucks, Orangatang Durian wheels with Jehu bearings. Thank you for the informative video.
I get stuck on the top of the wave. I turn, on the take off, move up, but then I struggle to bring the board down again. I think I don't compress as much as I think I'm compressing. One question: is it easier to practice speed gen on a funboard or a fish? (I'm a 5'7, 121 lbs, I have a 5'10 potato - thick and round - and I'm thinking about getting a 5'4 fish. I find the 5'10 too slow and heavy, though stable)
I’m going to be 40 this year, I took up surf a year ago and just got my first surf-skate 🥳
same here. good luck . love it
I'm 36 and just got my first surf skate with a future goal of surfing and snowboarding, let's do itttt!!
Nice bro I’m 52 and bombing hills on my long board carving at 30+. Looking to get back in the water myself after30 years.
52! Skate & Destroy!
Enjoy !
Exactly what I needed in that particular moment, thx for sharing freely your knowledge and experience with us ☮Greetings from France ❤
Great advice Kale. The best video I have seen. Clear and concise. Thank you.
The Tennisball pull tip was it for me! Thanks so much! Now i can generate even more speed!
I was so pumped to watch this. I had to wait all day as that pest called work got in the way. Excellent tips that I can't wait to go and try out on my surfskate. Thanks Kale for all the awesome work.
Now i am going to try this sport.❤❤❤
Such a nice tutorial on basics. I am definetly need to spend more time on the exercises you talked about it. Congrats
Best videos, most informative and carismatic...we love u kale regards from Brazil

Frothing !! Lemme know how you go!
I love this tutorial of skateboard 🛹❤️
Thank you so much !!!

Yes thanks bro I needed this because I am getting a surf skate for my birthday on Friday so yeah. Also first here.

Does anybody here have a Quicksilver surf skate? They look good and cost half of the price in NZ. I can’t find any reviews online.
Got a Carver 31.25" KNOX QUILL CX. Thanks for the tips, I'm gonna check if i do as you said ;)
This is great. Just resetup my surfskate. Definitely a style of skating I want to add to me Adventure. This is helpful.
Does surfskating properly carry the trained ability to the water?
Dommage que beaucoup de cours comme celui là n’existent pas en vf
If I use a penny board for this will it just create bad habits because i use my front foot too much?
See if anything i think the penny board helps with my pumping because the front trucks are harder to move, it takes more effort to keep speed coming out of turn which is what I need to work on in surfing.
Stirling Shepard loves your tutorials bro. Guys showing us how it's done. Here's how and what to do. Watch and learn. Rock on Coach

Just a specific form of fitness you’ll get there!
What’s your height and weight for comparison and what do you think of the the 34” 77 Smoothstar vs the one you have here?
Hi, Great tutorial. I’m getting a bit confused do you do the tennis ball and Shovelling together or are they separate all the time?
hey Kale what do you think about think about the infinity loop (ua-cam.com/video/5hW4OOgC2A0/v-deo.html)? is it useful for surfing? thanks
Is it a big difference between CX and Yow? CX probably is harder to accelerate.
Very useful info dude! Great video, thanks so much, it’s always nice to come back to the basics 🤙🏼🙂
What surfskate are you using?
awesome video! I've been surf skating for about a month and have just been learning from videos here and there but this is a really concrete exercise thanks!
Do you know if SmoothStars are available in the US. If not, what else would be a good option?
Use the link in description and just select international shipping from Australia
I have smoothstar and obfive and i think obfive is better have u tried it
I prefer SmoothStar personally 🙌🏽
by far the best tutorial out there! Kudos to Australia
Hey, Kale, great tutorial. Thank you. One question... Do you drive with your back foot? I'm so afraid of the board slipping out from under me... it's happened 3x since I started on Saturday. Thanks, again, mate.

I've broken my ankle badly using surf skate. Doing a uturn. Sergery, hard wear, up to long recovery now.
I wonder if pushing mongo is actually BETTER for surf training? You plant the back foot first when you pop up right?
Thanks for the very gooooood tutorial. I am learning to surf on my new surfskate and I'am grateful for the tricks and help. Thank you very much.
Happy to help!

Hey Kale have you tried a double king pin truck? Thinking it would be pretty close. What do you think?
do you live in Avalon, it looks like it :D
I used to just pump with 50/50 weight distribution on both feet, but I noticed a big speed increase after doing this hula adjustment @4:34 THANK YOU
Can I do this on a regular skate board?
No sorry
Can a regular skateboard be used in the same manner to generate speed? I purchased a skateboard to work on my surfing, but speed generation seems difficult at best.
I don’t own a surf skate but I own a couple long boards. Would I be able to apply these techniques to a long board?
Nope sorry
Just replace the trucks of your long board to carver CX or C7. It works, will make it feel like surfing a midlenght
Great video! Very well explained🤙51 here on a nitrosk8 rainbow.
I surf regular left foot forward. But i skate with my right foot forward so... I am confuse, should I train skating left foot forward even if its really weird ?
Have to skate regular too in order to benefit
How do you recommend to set the distance between cones? I am practicing it for the past few sessions and feel like it is just killing my speed all the time.
Great stuff! Thanks for the tutorial. Can't wait to watch cutback explanations and training in a bowl. 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Like
simple and brilliant. i like the easy going way the lesson is described. the best surfskate video so far
Glad you liked it!
Where was the bit filmed 30 seconds in? Love the run there with the banked turns.
i have been using my surfskate all wrong, i have been treating it like a normal skateboard that just turns a little better... ill have to try this
are these exactly the same speed generation movements for surfing a wave? What differences are there if any?
My favourite is the Leilani curfboard 🤩🤩
Hello Kale
I see some 8” cones from Amazon - is that too big ; yours look a bit smaller 🙏
I have a Carver. I love my board but the nose dive has been really. In the last 5 months I have done it twice. I strongly advise safety gear to lower heal time.
I hope your video helps me with my speed I have hit a pump track it's not easy at all due to not getting enough speed.
Practice myself in Taiwan, it’s really helps a lot. Thank u so much❤
Really you are the surf teacher I have learned so much from you! You are best surfer 🏄♂️ I’m definitely going to start surf skating!!!
This video unlocked my mind, now i know how the movement works and achieved to do it. 🏄♂
dad bums everywhere

I don't skate, but I'm watching this now.
Fantastic!!! Shared with some beginner friends. Thank you
Great primer, thanks! Been skating forever but skating on a true surf skate is new to me. Backhand, forehand techniques makes all the difference.
Kale, you're awesome! Thanks for this video! Super helpful!
Nice skill 👍👍
TOP 💥🔥💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Do you think I could start with a carver ?
could i use a cruiser board or will it have some restrictions ?

Imo backhand feels better when you do a big turn but I'm better on my forehand

Smaller board easier yeah - smaller crafts turn more easily
wow solid! key take away is the lower body provides speed and power and the upper body provide direction.
Holy crap, this is excellent instruction!
Thanks!
Grazie ottimo tutorial
Some time stamps would be great
Thou will flip the pizza!
thanks kale for share this nice content
All this snow needs to go away
Kale are you riding the 33 or 34 inch? It's a brilliant board 👌
Love the digging dirt approach!
I believe 33 !
