I like the way you put a bit of practice into each session by not ruining having fun of surfing. I did the same when I practiced angling takeoffs and it worked well! Now I’m following your video to lean cross step! 🎉
Thank you! I’ve yet to learn to cross step, I’m going to try doing this, thank you so much, great to have heads up on the not rushing before I even start! Excited to try this. Thanks for all your great content 🤩
Thanks! Whenever I’m unable to surf for about a month, I feel like I’m starting over. With this video, I realize I just have bad fundamentals. Do you think that after a rainy season out of the water, I’ll get to the point that I’ll actually come back and surf?Other sports I do better in, surfing I feel like I just start back from square one! By the way, yesterday, I surfed with a single focus; seeing the wave both on the paddle in and watching the wave build down the line. Fun! It was a lot easier to keep the board in trim.
Any advice on getting away from the shuffle?? I will start the land practice again on my board, I used to do cross stepping on a 2 by 4 piece of wood when I was inland at college. Cant seem to get past that mental block of crossing in the water. Great vids as always, thanks much!
Yeah definitely - this is beyond her takeoff probably what I help people with most! There’s a few different problems that happen with the cross step so what you need to do will depend on which issues you’re having - the key things though is not setting the board up properly on the wave and maintaining a downward angle towards the flats as you step, then starting from the middle putting you at an increased risk of nosedive after the first 2 steps. It’s important for success in the cross step but also stabilising the board - it’s not all about how good you are at balancing on narrow surfaces but how good you are at stabilising the board on the water! (E.g. locking the board into proper trim) If you haven’t checked out our Longboard Sessions site you should have a look through and would be super happy to work with you in there, it covers all of this in a lot of depth - or happy for you to shoot me through a message elsewhere if you have more questions too!

Thanks a lot Ben for all your advices, it helps me a lot. I have a question a bout positioning the back foot du ring the turn. Is it better To put the foot right over the fin or just in front of it? I'm surfing a 9'4 single fin. Thanks again, Florian
Hi Ben, I got a question, what about your look direction? Do you normally look at the wave or look to you nose? Is this something we should also practice?
Hey Ben, this is really helpful. Do any of your videos show the steps from above so we can see how your shoulders are aligned and where your feet land? I’m practicing a lot on land and want to make sure that the awkwardness when I’m in the crossed position is normal and that I don’t have my feet in the wrong place. Thanks.
I find it helps to shuffle a step back first before initiating the first step But i do find it hard on the wave face more likely once it has broken at the end of my ride

Absolutely! Definitely helps to bring us further back on the tail which is a great starting point!
