Thanks bro, exactly, love the participation and being in the water and the rest falls in place When we least expect it🤙🤙

I would add that something a person can do in the off time is practice their standup maneuver. People think this is just something beginners do but I have been surfing 45 years and I still do it. You should be coming off the carpet and your feet should land in proper position every time. I’m 58 and still ride short boards and get my share of waves at competitive spots. Practicing the takeoff had been key.

@@toddhendricks1727 brilliant! On land practice is massive for sure. Thanks for the share 🤙🤙

Thanks bro! 🤙🤙😎

Geez. Greet question. Yes to the three equal sections… but the wide point, I don’t know enough about board design to answer accurately. I am guessing a board with the wide point back would be more stable popping up further back than one with the wide point further forward. This is just me guessing though. And I am glad you made me think about this. I am planning on shaping my second board shortly, and it’s another thought to include into my design, gracias 🙏🤙🤙

Yes! It’s brilliant there.

How long are you here for? I am based a little further north, Hirtshals… but Hanstholm is my favourite spot in Denmark. I hope to make it there next week. If there’s waves 🤣🤙

@@noseridesnosedivessurfvlog8634 I just moved to Klitmøller, so I'll be here a while 😄 Lets hope for some waves there! I haven't been to Hirtshals yet, will have to check that out.

😂😂. Thanks for the stoke 🤙🤙

Haha! Intimidation tactics 🤣🤣🤙

🤣🤣🤙🤙

Nice! Guilty as charged! 100% born and raised in the Pacific Northwest🤙🤙 Though have lived abroad for years now… so I appreciate the pronunciation lesson! Eh. 🇨🇦🍁🍻

But I must object to that footage from karate kid. That instructor was an asshole.

Thanks. I am not personally familiar with any online problems, but I sure with a little research you can find some. I have had an online lesson with Ben Considine which was excellent, otherwise I know that Longboard Sessions on RUclips has been working on building a platform, not sure how far along they are, but check out their channel and try to contact them through that. A month ago, you are starting off on an amazing journey, enjoy….btw, where do you surf?

What a great story, such a small world when sharing waves🤙🤙

First week of november 🤙🤙

Nice. Thanks for the stoke 🤙🤙

🤣🤣🤙thanks for the stoke

Right on! Agreed, like the tail rocker gets better hooked under the curl and counter balances the weight on the nose. My homemade log is back home and I haven’t had a chance to ride it for half a year! I miss it. TBH…. The best board for getting anywhere near the nose for a surfer of my size and level of competence. Plus, something so rewarding making it yourself 🤙🤙🤙

And they also look cooler… but are still a bit advanced for many of us kooks😜🤙

Sounds like an amazing plan that I too am stoked to stay true to 🤙🤙

Nice. Yes, I definitely like the feeling of surfing off my trail leg and stalling the board to stay in the critical part of the wave… I think that’s mostly what surfing is, just constantly doing the manoeuvres and adjustments to stay in the curl🤙🤙 Thanks for the advice and the stoke 🤩

Bummer about your board. I really like my 9’6 sleep walker although in all fairness it is the board I have used most… my Walden Magic is a 9’6 and I haven’t surfed it often yet because it’s been at my home in Denmark and I have been away for several months… although I had the option of getting a beautiful 10 foot Walden which I regret I didn’t when I got my 9’6… the only reason I didn’t get it was because it wouldn’t fit jn my car🙈🤣… I should have bought the 10’ and then bought a bigger car… lesson learned 🤣 I am a biggish dude weighing in at 98 kilos so I love a longboard with a lot of volume… hope this helps a bit… thanks for your stoke and good luck with the new plank

@@noseridesnosedivessurfvlog8634 OK, thanks for your reply. Useful as I'm about the same hight, weight and standard of surfing.

Thanks man. Sometimes we adopt healthy habits that don’t make any sense at the time we are forced to do them… life’s strange like that… I am in the same boat🤙🤙

Great question, the rule of thumb is, whoever is closest to the peak(where the wave is breaking)... but this can also be very confusing especially for a novice. If you are missing waves then the more experienced surfers tend to take it as a sign that even though it might be your wave, instead of letting it go to waste, they might as well go for it too... which if they are good surfers and you actually catch the wave then they will give it to you, but if you miss it, then they will be in position to take it and not let it go to waste. Depending on the lineup, it's usually tough out there if you don't know anyone, because no matter how friendly you try to be, most surfers(male and female) think of you as the competition and keep their poker faces on... which is kind of ridiculous... but there are a lot of people that surf and only so many waves... I too notice that there are a lot of egos that just padle at everything, so I actually to be honest can't give you any other answer than you have just as much right to be there as them and that sometimes being a little egotistical in an ego driven sport is necessary. Although I am still the kook that is giving everyone a friendly nod and smiling and trying to share the stoke... the absolut best thing I can recommend is to padle out with a couple of good mates, every surfer hates it when they have a lineup where they think they know the pecking order and then a group of three new surfers join in... it's usually enough to interrupt the flow of the lineup and frustrate the ego maniacs so that they will padle in with disgust Lol! Good luck and stay stoked!

@@noseridesnosedivessurfvlog8634 the sad things is, i surf by myself so the line up things really confuse me, sitting on board all day, couldn’t even got a chance to catch one

@@fghkufzc9833 sometimes, if I surf a spot that has a great peak where everyone is sitting… then I look for a spot that is not great… but still provides an okay wave from time to time… better to feel confident and catch something than to be in an overcrowded lineup and catch nothing…

Haha! Yes, Denmark is littered with those silly spinny things. Almost always spinning relentlessly.

Good job with the surfing, always fun

@@jimbojamm thanks 🤙

Thank you🤙🤙

Hang in there bro. Learning to surf is so grounding.. for me, every time I wipe out and surface, I laugh at myself because it reminds me of how much of a beginner I am. The beginner mindset is something I need to be reminded of often in surfing but also in my everyday! One of the things that helps remind me when I am struggling is, that even though it appears like everyone else has it all figured out, we are all going through personal struggles, so nobody has life figured out! Imposter syndrome and self doubt...funny, the more I learn in my field of work the more I realize the less I know, perhaps the imposter syndrome is just your inner demons smiling at you and saying, no matter how much you think you know, keep going because as cheesy as it sounds, you can always learn more. Perhaps confidence comes from knowing that you are still in the process of learning? Fuck! Sorry bro... don't mean to preach, I am just trying to figure it all out too! Good luck with your surfing and in the grand scheme of it all, you might as well believe in yourself because you have absolutely nothing to lose! ... there I go again... I'll stop now! Thanks for the stoke!

Very cool 🤙🤙

Thanks 🤙🤙

Yeah, Shortboarding would be a challenge for me for sure🤣!

Thanks surfing is such a journey. Enjoy it🤙🤙

I couldn’t agree more🤙🤙

I hear you… that’s why I love Dawn patrols … makes the rest of the day a walk in the park 💪😎🤙

Thanks for the feedback. I focused on it a while back and had some results, now I feel like I no longer focus on it and the lead foot lands mostly 45 degrees between the rail and the nose. Sound advice, and thank you for your concern🤙 and thanks for your stoke

Thanks man… yes I learned to surf in messy waves… and there is an art to it for sure… and fun for sure, but as far as improving faster.. good conditions are a must🤙🤙

Exactly, tomorrow’s a new day! Thanks for the stoke

Yew🤙 thanks for the stoke

I am jealous! 😃 But great to hear you are getting some epic sessions in! And yes, really fun to practice onland... almost like it is a completely different hobby that benefits surfing as a bonus. 🤙🤙

True🤣👏… but the enjoyment factor when not hitting the asphalt is worth taking the chance🙈🏆🤣🤙 Hope you are good🤙

Agreed! Let the kid out sounds about right🤙🤙 always more fun playing and goofing around, laughing at yourself so that you take yourself less seriously! Thanks for the pep talk, much appreciated🤙🤩

🤣🤣🤣🤙

Nice to help. Thanks for the reply and stoke🤙🤙

Thanks man! Yeah… I had a lesson when I started 6 years back, then have had some pointers from some good friends, but otherwise I have been just learning by doing do it myself kind of stoke. But to actually have an expert analysis and give me professional guidance. Ben is the best, a genuine legend. Would recommend this for sure🤙🤙

Nice👌🤙

Thanks buddy🤙🤙

Balance and smooth movements, yes… always looks so effortless. Love it 🤙
