Your best video yet. The time you've spent on research and instructionals really shows through. Having that experience distilled into some pointers and exercises that I can keep in mind for my next outing is really helpful. Thanks a ton!
Another great instructional. It takes courage to revisit and point out where the technique in previous videos could be improved on. Respect where it's due! 👍
Dude, I watched this video and a few of your others, then went and bought a board. I accidentally ran into surf skate videos after looking for videos on longboard wheels which actually turned out to be a surfskate wheel. The best accident ever! I was able to pump all around a parking lot first time on my carver cx thanks to this video breakdown.
Finally the video I've been searching for! You truly break everything down from stance and weight, to body posture and movements! A real coach! Can't wait to try these techniques! Thank you!
Shane Lai and Kale Brock are excellent recommendations. I've learned a lot from their videos. This is great too, it's so easy to relate to. I see myself in these guys so much
Wow, so much information, instruction & knowledge in one video, SUBSCRIBED!!! I'm 66, only had my surf skate one week, & having so much fun but so much to learn! You look so efficient when you skate, every scrap of energy is propelling you forward! Love how stoked you are too! :)
Same here. I am 65 y.y. lady in Calgary, Canada. I love the way Steve explains everything. I Thank S.S. for giving us the opportunity of enjoying life.
Just started today. No background in skating whatsoever. The slight front-facing feet positioning really helped with stability when doing a pushing start :)
In carving snowboarding, you hear the terms "plus" and "minus" position, relating to position of shoulders to board when looking down from above. So when you are doing a toe-side turn, you are in minus position (shoulders in line with board) and when doing a heel-side turn, you are in plus position (shoulders perpendicular to board), the twist thus induced, combined with the correctly timed knee bend, helping to set up the edge for carving.
Okay, I will shut up after this comment😂… I commented on a couple of your previous videos. I saw a number of potential fixes, but I mostly commented on the lack of instruction on generating power backside (heel edge). I was about to recommend watching Kale Brock and Cris Mills, so I’m super glad you tapped into them on your own . They are both great. Kale really describes the generation of backside speed well with the “digging with a shovel” technique. Yes, the surfing technique will make you look way better which may not matter at all, but it will certainly improve your overall surfskate ability too and that should not be underestimated. it also will be more transferrable to other board sports. Glad to see you spreading the word of Kale and Cris. I also love OMBE, most of his tutorials are for surfing, but he uses surfskate training a lot, very helpful.
I am late to the surfskate part. Appreciate you sharing your lessons learned. I just made a surf skate video and a lot of your awesome subscribers mentioned your channel to me to offer assistance. Very cool of them. Your community has some rad people in it.
I’ve been using my surfskate loads to improve my forward facing drive and compression for surfing. 1 thing to work on outside of skate/surf is ankle strength and mobility so you can keep the back foot square and roll it over rather than turning foot forward. Lots of 1 footed kettle bell squats and pass across body as well as waking on an indoboard roller or pvc pipe. Think even Chris mills has a vid on pvc pipe balancing etc. Loving the surfskate for just getting used to facing forward and driving low and compressing etc
Honestly I've tried all tips and tricks from other videos but this one was definitely the most effective and dynamic!! Keep going mate, love your passion, we share it with you
My first wonderful, handsome, super talented teacher 🔥🔥🔥 From Vietnamese student - where this subject is not really known to many people!!! Love it ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I gotten so good with the back foot pumping that I'm able to pump without the front trucks on the ground, basically a manual while pumping. That was with normal technical skateboards, so i can't wait to get into these type of trucks and boards and the rail 2 rail action, because it's really not the same. I was pumping with stiff grommets doing a type of tap tap motion with the front wheels in a 45 degree angle between each front truck tap, if that makes sense. Once I saw your "cup method", I realized that I have been doing that years but not with these multi-dimensional trucks. Saving up for the Yow Meraki's to rock a lightweight 27 inch long "mini" sector 9 for quick start pumping for pump tracks and easy air time and small launches, and maybe some 360 micro grabs and I'll be happy. But the main reason I'm riding is so I can delivery food much faster in those high rise apartments where you have to walk 80 yards just to get to a persons door. I hate those apartments, but at least I can use people's codes to take advantage of their gyms and pools
Just got into this fantastic sport, and this tutorial really got me the feeling thx so much for breaking this down so clearly.. i really progressed greatly due to this tutorial.. thx again..
Thanks! I watched the Brock and Mills introductory videos couple months ago repeatedly and never quite got it. Your last video--even if due to oversimplification--quickly made SS fun finally. And thanks for the posture clarifications here, and taking the time to study and break it down for us. I'm excited to try it outside. I'm definitely sticking with this (and might even try the Brock and Mills programs now have a promising foundation)
This video has been super helpful! One nit-pick though; heels-down toes-up would be the equivalent (in surfing) of a back-side bottom turn. Some people may find it more natural to do the opposite: toes-down heels-up. This makes sense then why, in your bowl riding videos, you have trouble with your front-side turns in the bowl. You're almost exclusively practicing the back-side turns on flat ground. Seems like the recommendation should be to practice both as equally as possible.
When you reach forward, throw that weight into it. Shifting your weight really fuels the pump. Thank you for these videos! I went out today for the first time and was carving all over the blacktop like I was surfing again. Thank you for your amazing guidance-I wore my Surfskate Love hat too 😁
Hi Melissa, quick question, when you say throw that weight, do you mean before scoop, or after scoop? Struggling a bit with it at the moment. Not sure if the scooping or extension after scooping actually gives the forward mementum. Thanks a lot!
Steve, Thanks again for all your wonderful videos. I am enjoying them like crazy. Just started and watching videos. Yours are the best for me. They are helping me a lot. Good day..
Very helpful vid. Riding with my feet at an angle has really helped me getting low on the board for long straight lines at speed particularly being quite tall. I have also found that Surfskating has really improved my balance/control for surfing and drop Knee bodyboarding. Loving it .
This is an amazing tutorial, I subscribed after watching you VDO and I’ve been practicing follow your tips. Btw. I’m a beginner. This is helping me a lot from zero and still counting 😘 much love from Bangkok
Hello Professor, Very good teaching demonstration, easy to understand and very useful. I will try to practice as good as Training Program. Thanks you so much, from Thailand.
Great video! You’re a natural teacher. I’ve been surf skating for about a year and a half and find myself still learning better, more efficient ways to gain momentum and proper technique. For example, I just tried applying the techniques you showed in this video to my own and found carving on turns to be much easier, and I have more confidence going into them when I position my arms the way you show here. I think a large part of it is pulling your center of gravity closer to your body to spin faster, like a figure skater. Wide arms = slow spin. Narrow arms = fast spin. It allows you to carve in a smaller space for faster turn arounds. Arm placement is so important! However, I do like to put my arm back just to change things up (and because it feels good... like cutting through the wind when coasting). Always be learning!
youtube gold! pumping is solid. the only thing missing i think is, and coming from a surfer POV is for the big maneuvers is looking at the point you want to turn. also looking over the shoulder for cutback turns.
These techniques improved my pump specially the stance but as go fast it’s hard for me to control the movements I also don’t know how to stop lol. Great tutorial keep making of this!
Good vid steve. Nice excercise is the take a bucket in the hands, take inaginairy water and throw it away on the other side, maybe a little over the shoulder. That way you also learn how to shift weight from front to back
Dude I got to thank you a lot! I tried just the first tip about forward posture and something in my hip/knee clicked correctly! I've been having some issues with pain in these areas but just as I shifted my stance forward it felt like I've been even walking wrong! Thanks m8!
This is fantastic. I used compression and extensions methods technique from you but most of thai tutorial will tell you that its mainly upper body movement which like you said it works but it’s not efficient.
@@SurfskateLove nope but i figured out you gotta be a bit more in front of the board. How bout a video about the best kind of wheel size/brands, ie orangatangs
Many thanks for these great videos, Steve. I haven't ridden a skateboard in years, but you inspired me to pick one up. The market is super tough right now, but I was able to import a Slide Gussie from Europe. Can't wait to get my hands on it and spend this summer learning how to surfskate~
This makes me so happy to hear! Every time I convert someone to surfskating, an angel gets its wings. 😁 You’ll love that Slide! Keep me posted on how it goes.
@@SurfskateLove haha one is never finished with learning ;) And it’s always great to get other perspectives 🙌🏼 I basically took the same path you did, just 5 years ago already and having surfing in my history ^^ But even after all that time I still learned a lot from Cris and Kale - and you’re Video is one awesome summary!!
you get better and better! awesome!! i take some of your moves to our next workshops. the coffee cup hand is easier to understand then our T-Rex hand ;)
Thanks for the vid. We all respond to different things at different stages in our progression, so for me, the part I connect to the most right now is the one about hip motion. Once you get the feeling in your hips, arms don't matter that much, I find. Coming from a martial arts background, I'd say focusing on one's center of gravity (below the navel) helps me get more free when it comes to form, which in turns improves flowiness and overall feeling. As far as I'm concerned, watching Pau "Loski" of "Loski Sessions" has been both a treat for the eyes and highly instructive.
Yeah, Loski Sessions is incredible. So much fun to watch. I wouldn't say "arms don't matter that much" in any context. I have been really feeling into how much arms affect balance. Critical to keep them out ahead of you instead of flailing around behind you.
@@SurfskateLove True dat. Arms do matter, what I mean is that I don't really obsess with them anymore, they mostly just follow or accompany, rather than lead.
@@koaballero2794 I found that I had to really exaggerate what I was doing with my arms because I tended to have them very stiff and lifeless. Started noticing it more and more as I watched film of myself.
@@SurfskateLove IMO, that's all the thrill of it, trying to figure what works best for each one at any one point. What feels right for me now might not once I move on to new stuff...
Niiice😍. Now I thinking about my technic, movement and mobility... Man, I have to much questions to myself after your lesson 😂 really good material Mr. Professor👏🏻
@@SurfskateLove but U able perfect describe and teach, what we do in fact. If U hear us how we explain to each other what to do U'll be disappointed our knowledge and skills😂😂
@@matjaworski9960 To be honest, the teachers of the courses I’ve taken haven’t been great for me. I have to kind of figure things out myself and then find easier ways to teach them.
@@SurfskateLove You are on good way, cause I seriously started thinking about my technic. And what's mostly important I understand what U talking and showing to take the better position. The way is U know what want to tell, because I see Your progress, so now U only have to share your experience in normal, understanding language.
One thing I think folks should be mindful of is the butt wiggle style. There are small subtle types of pumping in all types of waves, and on all styles of surfboards, but the surf skate lends itself to mimicking the small wave thruster butt wiggle style of pumping very easily, and that's not the most aesthetically pleasing. Smoothing the mechanics of the whole body, and remembering, less is more, can go a long way. It is just about impossible I think to breakdown how the body moves while surfing, it is just something that needs to be done, and done for a very long time on a variety of craft to truly interpret well on a surf skate. If though you are stuck being a visual learner, I'd say watch guys like Alex Knost as opposed to ASP pros
OK here's my experience. So tried out your suggestion and the feeling is really awesome. Is fun and a good way to train surfing. But feel if you want faster speed and acceleration from start off then the "old" style works.
Thank you for all your great videos :-). Would you mind doing one on surfskate trucks tightness for the optimum pump and generating speed? It is so hard for the beginner to understand it.
Your best video yet. The time you've spent on research and instructionals really shows through. Having that experience distilled into some pointers and exercises that I can keep in mind for my next outing is really helpful. Thanks a ton!
Thanks so much, man! I really appreciate that. Glad you find it helpful.
Another great instructional. It takes courage to revisit and point out where the technique in previous videos could be improved on. Respect where it's due! 👍

Thank you! And I'm having fun!
It's a small comment in the video but leaning your back knee where you want to go (on turns) added a lot of stability to my turns. Solid video

Congratulations, Steve! Great improvement.
Thanks, man! 👊
Simply one of the most useful videos on yt and I still haven't seen it all!!!
When they did the “snaky” thing at about 17:25 it looked much smoother and with more power to the pump!
Definitely going to put this in action as soon as possible. Great video.

It is just about impossible I think to breakdown how the body moves while surfing, it is just something that needs to be done, and done for a very long time on a variety of craft to truly interpret well on a surf skate. If though you are stuck being a visual learner, I'd say watch guys like Alex Knost as opposed to ASP pros
OK here's my experience. So tried out your suggestion and the feeling is really awesome. Is fun and a good way to train surfing. But feel if you want faster speed and acceleration from start off then the "old" style works.
Much MUCH better!
All the way from the Philippines 🤙🏻

My man Steve brilliant Thanks
You're welcome! And thank you!
Well done I learnt so much subscribed from abu dhabi
Thank you for all your great videos :-). Would you mind doing one on surfskate trucks tightness for the optimum pump and generating speed? It is so hard for the beginner to understand it.
Great idea, Alice! I'll do it!
Love it! Thank you so much again and again. 🙏👍👍
You're so welcome! Thank you!
