- Sometimes there are things you learn that take your surfing to the next level. This is one of those things. I also had the pleasure of trying out the new CI Log in multiple sizes which was super fun. I may have also bought one...Enjoy!!!!

I love that comparison of your refined bottom turns to Devon’s!! Makes such a difference to the angle you’re taking and speed you’re generating on the wave, so sick!! 🔥🤙
Yes!! It's funny how much speed it takes to get a longboard to the top of the wave fast. Really really loving working on this lately
@@LongboardSessions 100% !!
@@LongboardSessionsHi mate you need to tee up a trip to Oz, Ben would be awesome to see you guys on an arvo session at Tea tree! Keep it up legends!
@@julianatognolo9072this would be sick!!!
I love this channel, needs more recognition. Keep up your craft sir!!
Thanks so much!! Will do, love doing it!
As a fellow Jersey surfer just beginning my journey at 30, I really appreciate your informative insights and storytelling. Your videos always manage to blend useful tips with engaging narratives, making them a joy to watch. Hope to see you out in the lineup one day 🤙
Thanks so much Kevin!! dm me on insta and we can get a session in! @longboard_sessions
Great watch as always, Brian. I would add to Wayne’s comments re your casual demeanour, that your self-deprecating sense of humour is both engaging and refreshing. Keep it up 🤙✌️
thanks so much!! Yes I do love a good hazing lol
Sincerity I believe is the key to beautiful style. I do 20 min yoga meditation and task concentration warm up every surf. I get corralled into the wave making me surf to midlength style. And as a rule I try to fucus on being polite and having good intentions in the bust manly Sydney area line ups. Really like your vibe
Thanks so much Nathan! Yea for sure, gotta be polite and have fun. If all were like that, surfing would be friendlier. Although honestly, I get pretty good vibes most times in NJ and cali
Brian, looking good on the new board! Keep it going. Devon is the GOAT!
Thanks!! Oh yea he's the best!
You got style brotha. It finally has come. Been watching since the beginning and you’re finally getting it. Turn hard smack the lip set up the line! Great video
thanks so much Richard! My gosh for real, look at the early videos. They were ugly! haha
Cool thing about Devon is that he looks like he’s from the era when all boards were long and it was just “surfing”, not “longboarding”. Tail to tip is a great way of putting it. I really enjoy watching clips of guys like Barry Kanaiaupuni, Phil Edwards and Nat Young from those days
Oh yea for sure. I love Nat young's style!
EVERYTHING is based off a quality bottom turn. Shortboarding teaches this from day one, longboarders never need to learn it....but should.
🙌 100% 🤙
Well said!!
Brian - love it. Enjoy the new board.
Thanks!! really loving it so far
So great to watch you make that connections with the bottom turns. It amazing how much a little adjustment to your style makes you look more effortless and like you've been surfing forever! Keep it up Brian, your doing great!
Thanks so much!! Yea having a blast trying to connect everything. It's not easy! But super fun
@@LongboardSessions for sure! I get it! Only been surfing for 8 months and every time I go out I learn something new! Part of the fun! 🤙
Absolutley
I live in Cali but I'm from Jersey....thanks for riding the East Coast!
awesome! I love Cali.. but really love surfing NJ as well
Slater vs. Curren. Who is more beautiful to watch? Can't put it on paper though. You have great skills. Clear your mind and feel the rhythm of the wave.
Yes!! Gotta feel it. That's how you get in the flow. Still working on that hehe
Growing up surfing in Hawaii, starting at a young age, I already got it! 😉
thats the way to do it!!
Dude, your surfings improving by leaps! Good move going shorter, especially for the beachbreaks. 9'3's arent just for the lighter guys. It's my favorite length in a longboard and I'm 6'1 and 200+ lbs. But I also always surf beachbreaks that are more punchy than soft. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! Yea loving it so far for our beach breaks. It's been really working well!
Looking good! Glad you went with the 9'2"!
thanks! Yea me too haha
So glad, wanted to tell you thru the screen to go shorter than 9 '6" , at 150lb or less like us, that extra board slows us down by large %'s every turn...my opinion of course. Great riding, howdy from NH. Come on up, I'm a block from Cinnamon Rainbows.
haha well there you go! I do feel a ton faster on this thing
Haha, solid video AND you didnt use devon or wayne as clickbait in any manner. Classy classy vid.
haha thanks!!
Awesome! So sick and fun to watch the gears click!
Would love to get a log sesh with you and pick you mind on surfing 🤙
thanks!! You in jersey?
@@LongboardSessions I am going to be next weekend! But I’m in Massachusetts
Bro love seeing your videos, some sick bottom turns and rail grabs!! I seen you surf Monmouth county, I love my custom log from my buddy who’s a local shaper, I’ll look out for ya in the lineup🤙🏼
And that shaper was right, jersey people are cool
Nice!! See you out there. I can't wait to get back out
If I may offer you a simple solution that will take you where you’re looking to go? Look where you want to go one step ahead of where you are. Before you get to the bottom of your bottom turn, you should be looking at the top of the section you’re turning into. On your way up, you should be turning your head back towards the beach. These head movements will, in turn, move your shoulders and eventually your torso and legs will follow.
In one of the clips, you appear to be looking at the nose of your board on your way to a cutback, rather than spotting the next section of the wave, and it stalled you out a bit. You might be too focused on “doing the trick,” where you’re thinking about what your board is doing or if your feet are in the right position, rather than looking where to go next.
Admittedly, these are definitely more short board techniques for riding waves, where you’re doing faster rail-to-rail transfers and tighter turns. But, if you notice how your friend who you’re trying to emulate rides, he’s riding that 9’3” like it’s a 5’6”. He definitely takes his short board skills and uses them on that log.
Anyway, i hope this makes sense and it helps. Cheers and happy surfing!
wow you are so completely correct! Iv'e really noticed this when practicing off the tops. You for sure have to be looking at the top of the wave while you bottom turn. Still working on this, but staying ahead of the wave is going to be a game changer for me.
Solid!
Thanks James!
glad im not the only one missing points on stance 😂 1:11
haha yes!! We have the opposite problem tho
11:16 is my favorite moment
Timed PERFECTLY with the music 🤌👌
Just kidding 14:52 is my new favorite moment 🥹
haha thanks bro!! Thanks for noticing
I'm more inclined to Dino Miranda's style and free flowing approach to Longboard surfing. Not rules!
Oh i'll have to check him out!
Oh wow! You're basically similar to me in size. I am 5'4" 139. Wanted to ask what size wetsuit you wear?
P.S. On the site already. Love the content. Have learned a lot already.
woah another person my size haha!! So great to hear you're loving the site!! Great to have you
I wear a size small wetsuit normally. I have gotten mens XS before in xcel, but iv'e been using crooked suits latley and their mens small has ben working just fine!
cool
Thanks!!
Took you long enough 😂
tell me about it!
Nice vid!! but longboarding without a leash quite wrong i would say...
Thanks!! Oh yea? How so?
If there is a crowd yeah but otherwise like this sesh no.
Nice vid! Can you stop saying Jersey…it’s NEW JERSEY which you only mentioned once. Jersey, in the Channel Islands U.K is where I’m from and yes most people from Jersey are cool. I don’t know what people are like in New Jersey though 😂
haha! Well now I just wanna keep sayin 'jersey'... you're playing into my rebellious nature!!! haha
Wow, I can't believe how many LBers you brought together in this one video, but if you're a "kook", then I don't know what or who I am anymore.🤷♀️
haha!! Hey, those of us who have fun.. we're all kooks. In a good way
Great ! I hope u r now going to let us be with these nose riding non sense! Can we have a closure NOW??!
haha yes! I'm an all around surfer now. In my mind atleast haha
I like the channel. Great videos. I love the coaching idea, but it feels a bit salesy and maybe better positioned to "you can learn this in x, I'll go into details at the end of the video if you're interested".
Its your call obviously, but I am here to watch the surfing, so I can only say from my experience that it put me off the video a little (and I stopped watching).
Thanks Charles! Definitely don't want to be salesy! That's my worst nightmare haha. I'll keep refining
Your surfing is amazing but it’s truly ur charisma makes me stay 🩵🌟🤙
haha awesome!! Thanks so much
