Why SURF ON THE RAIL | Flat vs Rail Surfing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- Keep the board flat and you will lose speed or not generate any extra speed when needed. Keep the board moving or engaged from rail to rail and you will keep speed and generate a lot more of it.
Surfing the board from rail to rail while racing or while doing turns only helps you surf with more speed, power, flow and even control.
In this video you will see the similarities between a surfboard and a cork and how to use the surfboard better while riding a wave so that you can maximize your ride and have better surfs!

This is outstanding as usual. You need a board sized right so that you can sink the rail and also engage all the lifting forces that work together (board outline/profile, bottom contours, fins, buoyancy). Bigger boards are hard to drive the rail into the water and to feel glued under your feet. Sizing them right allows you to harness all they have to offer.
That’s very true. Good feedback there thanks 🙏
Another banger! Comment of appreciation.
@@jonstnr glad you liked it!
Great explanation Shannon! I was thinking it was just less drag to be on rail, certainly it's faster. I hadn't considered the cork effect, other than corking the tail to take off. Thanks man.
You're welcome!
well explained, thanks again for such a nice short tutorial, even tho it seems to be very simple I never got to this state of surfing 🙈🙈🙈
Thanks for your feedback. I think you need another vacation at a surf destination with long perfect waves to help with repetition on the wave 😊
Yeah. Let’s go
Yes let’s go! :)
SUBSCRIBED!!! 👍🏼

Hi Shannon! I'm surfing a board with pretty thick rails. It does allow me to turn but I feel like the rails don't sink enough to hold more agressive turns like your bottom turn on this video for example. It feels like, instead of sinking, the rails slip whenever I lay a bit more than usual. Do you think getting a thinner board would help me with that?
Hello. Yes maybe a thinner board would help with that. A narrower board could also help too! It could also be that you have a wide stance, or maybe standing too far forward or maybe even weight distribution. So it could be a few things..
You could send me a video to have a look.

Very helpful video! On a really fast and steep section such as pumping in a barrel, do you still get on the outside rail when compressing or do you stay on the inside rail the whole time and just compress and extend on that inside rail?
Pumping inside the barrel is difficult and you don’t want to pump too much because it will change your line in the barrel..and usually there isn’t much room inside the barrel to move around, so when you pump you should have very small strides. Still using both rails but very light pumps 😊
I've a question on keeping an high line when backhand surfing: is the logic just reversed (climb on the heels, drop on the toes)? Also the drop phase looks more "centered" compared to a turn and more side to side, like engaging the inner rail and releasing it again and again. Is it correct?
Best!
Hey. Thanks for reaching out. Yes your totally right. It is reversed. I’ve made a tutorial on racing backside.
There is a different way to race in a steeper section verses a flatter section. Steeper section you’ll be more centered moving the board from rail to rail (up on beals and down on toes for backside), but ln a flatter wave it’s kinda like tick tacking from side to side.
@@shannonainsliesurf Makes totally sense, thanks for taking your time into answering me.
Best!
In the explanation given, isn't that also the same as bogging the rails?
No it’s not. Bogging rail is when you lose control due to wrong weight distribution, mostly around the front foot.
Ahhh okay makes sense,can this also happen if the board has too much volume for the surfer or is it still possible for a surfer to surf on rail even on high volume boards using proper weight distrubion?@@shannonainsliesurf
@@charlesnetzler2262 great question. It’s more with weight distribution and feet placement on the board. You can surf a longboard or sup and still get the board on the rail 😊
Thanks for the info :)@@shannonainsliesurf
@@charlesnetzler2262 pleasure
It's that you brother????
No he is not 😂
