Kook VS Shortboard

  • Опубліковано 3 сер 2024
  • Today we find out the age old question "Can a Kook (me) ride a shortboard?" I'v been surfing for a total of around half a year maybe! I started on a longboard then moved down to a 6'10 fish board and now a 5'9 Pyzel short board (The board Im riding is a Pyzel Sure Thing which is one of the more beginner friendly shortboards) . I'v only ever ridden my friends shortboards for a couple waves so this was a new experience! Will I be able to even stand up on a shortboard??? hmmmm!

    i have a tip for your surfing
    don't paddle to the bottom of the wave
    paddle and as soon as you feel the push pop up

    It’s all about the right board for the right wave. I ride anything from a 6’5 to a 9’8 and I’m 6’4, 225 pounds. Depends of wave height and power for which board I ride. Longboarding really helped me develop style and get rid of poop stance. Most importantly Have fun out there. Yew !!!

    Thanks for sharing your progression with surfing and showing how you work down from a longboard to something slightly shorter to actually getting to a shortboard I'm on my journey from wanting to work my way down from all soft top and longboards to eventually being a Cherbourg Surfer myself, thanks for sharing.

You will start wishing that people enjoy the things that they have, rather than being bitter and salty because you can't have them yourself. This kid has worked hard for where he is at.

Cool to see you back tho! and i think the reason that the 5'9 caught as much as your 6'10 is because of volume, 30.1L is a lot of volume for a 5'9 which will help a lot for paddling onto waves. Ur surfing is improving tho.
