Just adding to what he said about picking a surfer to watch... If you're a regular footed surfer who likes the style of a goofy footed pro or vice versa, you can mirror their videos to apply their style and technique to your own surfing.
I love the passion you have for not only surfing, but your surf n show brand as a whole. Your production quality has increased so much, and so has your in depth reviews. Thanks for helping the community, excited for the new series.
Thank you for the kind words and noticing our efforts to up our quality. My brother Aarron does an amazing job with camera work, lighting, and the sound stuff. Not to mention his love for surfing.
Thank you for your passion towards helping me become a better surfer. I am 52 and have surfed for forty years, I still learn something every time I watch your videos. Keep up the great work!
Noel, I’m going to school for Physical education, so I see a lot of explanatory videos... this is definitely one of the best ones I’ve seen in surfing! Good work man, keep it up! 🤙
From Argentina...excelent explanation and graphically very clear, keep going Noah , you wil make ourselves better surfers day after day ..!!! tks a lot!!!
Just what I was looking for! Well done. Learned this instinctively when i was a kid but lost the skill at 66 yrs old and looking to get it back. Rode a skateboard recently and was pumping well now i will try to apply to surfing again!
Great videos!!! Got me back stoked on surfing, I live 1hr from BSR and now starting to get back into surfing after 10 years out- Already planning to jump on the jet later summer as well!!! Thanks for re lighting the passion for a sport I once was crazy about... time to log on to CISB and order a new stick!!
Very nice dude. Please keep doing these videos. I love all of your content. This is really going to help me and many other people. Keep up the great work.
Aloha from Brazil! I'm glad to see you here and I remember talking to you in Trestles! Your surfing style is amazing! The videos here on youtube allow me to see and follow with subtitles that make it easier! Congrats Brah!
Oh my god, what a no brainer - Noel Salas, the premier guy you can rely on for articulate, no bullshit information for all things surfing, here to help you with actual surfing tips that aren't going to be shit like from other instructors on RUclips with mediocre surfing.
Can we talk about the use of the rear arm in combination with your compressing and extending of the body. I notice when you are pumping you swing your rear arm up and slightly behind as you extend and then over the top and forward/down as you transition to compression, in almost a front crawl type motion. I've found this is quite an effective body dynamic for pumping on the surf skate as its quite an easy que for the rest of your body to follow, plus it also helps to make you keep your shoulders squarer to where you are going rather than trailing your rear shoulder behind. Its something I'm going to focus on more in the surf.
Good simple information that explains something I've been trying to work on! thanks!. my problem is I'm natural foot on my surfboard and Goofy on my Skate and snowboard. I've got about 20 years experience on them all and out of the three would be surfing 80% of my boarding time. Also my favourite surfer is Goofy footer Craig Anderson. I've tried Goofy on my surfboard but it doesn't feel right.
really really nice explanation!! I have been using the Carver-skate for a long time to train and it is very true, when you go on the wave you find the same feeling and style. Pumping, cut back, lay back are fantastic to try on the carver and then in the water! Goood video! Thank you
@@juufro8952 Hi Juufro C2 on rear truck and C7 on front truck. The rear truck is slightly narrower than the front truck. I keep the front truck soft enough, but it depends on your preferences.
Hey Noel, i really love your videos and think they are awesome. Ive been tossing up between the Happy and Sharpeye’s 77 model. But i noticed there isnt a review of it, it would be highly appreciated if you would be able to do it and im sure many others appreciate to. Keep up the great work !
Your video is really great and explains really well how to pump, why and where to do it on the wave. Brilliant. You say that we should better watch videos with riders surfing the same way / side. Unfortunately I am goofy while you are regular. Have you ever thought about having your videos mirrored (video editing option 😉) and providing a "goofy version"? That would be so much useful for goofy riders. Cheers!
These videos are so helpful. Only issue is im a regular footer and Gabriel Medina is who I wanna model my surfing after. Any regular footers similar to him?
Please talk about when to stop pumping and when to do a maneuver. What do you see in the section that tells you to pump and when to stop pumping for speed? I see so many people pump themselves right off waves instead of cutting back to the pocket. I'm guilty of it too.
Every wave is different, You usually pump for speed in these 2 scenarios. 1. You need to get around a section. 2. You need to generate speed. If you don't have to do either of those then its time to start attacking the lip.
Hi Noel, whats going on with your weight distribution between front and back feet when you pump? I notice when come out of compression your back heel lifts. What happens in the moments before this, especially in the double pump bottom turn, are you driving off your back foot inside rail? (ie what weight distribution split between from front and back foot during extension at about 4:27 to 4:28 in this video). Also for viewers watching on chrome there is an extension tool called" mirror tube". Awesome for us goofy's to watch you surf right foot forward. Yew from Oz!
At 4:27 and 4:28 i am moving my foot back to hit the bottom turn. Moving my feet is more advanced and we will be talking about that as we go deeper into this Series....
Hey Noel thanks so much for these. I picked up a carver recently and have been really enjoying applying you and Nick Carroll’s surf training tips on it. After around 10 days of being pretty into it and going 10 mins at a time a few times a day my lower back gave out pretty fantastically. Is there a likely culprit in form that you’ve noticed leads to lower back issues with the carver training?
Sebastian Royer Never heard of anyone having this problem. Maybe going 10 minutes a day is too much for your body at first. I think going easy at first is best.... remember your using new muscles and to work them hard can cause soreness, cramping, tightness. I do light stretching before surfing or Surfskating so I don’t get sore or hurt too. Sorry to hear about your back.... get better quickly.
Great content ! Before I subscribe to your patreon page, I would like to know how many tutorials videos a month are you planning to post ? (I am not interested in the other videos like the boards comparison videos, but I am super stoked about the tutorials !). Thank you again.
Nice tutorial Noel! Some good tips there on speed generation. As well as compress and extend, I find weighting and unweighting the board really helps too on small waves. weight on compress and unweight on extend with a throw of the arms forward. what dya reckon? :)
Very nice explanation. When you are getting speed in frontside wave, do you go rail to rail? 4:25 minute. Because you do it with your skate after and in a footage of a flat sección, but you say that yo set your inside rail, in a non flat wave and it looks that you don’t go rail to rail, only compression and extension
Xabier xabi Mostly the inside rail surfing on a wave on your front side down the line. When you skate on a flat street it’s rail to rail. If you skate a cement bank it’s more like surfing a wave with mostly your inside rail and not your heel side rail on your front side. Skating a bank... when you go down your board is in a neutral state as gravity pulls you down.
Tried the rail-to-rail/compression technique after watching the video on a carver and definitely generated more speed. Imagine it's good training to built muscle memory and strength/endurance.
Great video. Can we expect a driver 2.0 review sometime soon? I've heard conflicting opinions on the types of waves it goes best in, and how it's different from the sub-driver and original driver. Cheers
Existing user Yes a Driver 2.0 review is coming eventually... this covid-19 is a joke. Lock down and our beaches closed makes it tough for us to get reviews done. Hang tight
Stoked to see you do a technique series Noel, been a fan of your board reviews and I can easily see you excelling in this area too! I have a question though, how do you get to the bottom of the wave from that athletic compression stance @4:40? Does that stance alone get you to the bottom or is there more to it such as subtle weight adjustments with toes, heels and rails? (Like a mini weight shift to outside rail?) Basically, what areas of the shortboard are you engaging in the wave to get it to go to the bottom from the high line once you're in that stance?
Amazing content top notch advice bro, although I fail to see how those carver boards help with surfing, looks like a fun toy but surely if you cant get in the ocean due to being landlocked etc your better off spending your time keeping your fitness up by surf specific swim training in a pool ie head up front crawl so when you get back in the ocean at least your still somewhat surf fit?
Piers Woodford If you haven’t tried a Carver then you need too. Very similar movements in compressing and extending and it’s an excellent tool to sharpen your surfing. I agree with swimming and staying fit but swimming and other sports don’t help your surfing technique much.
Will most carver surfkskate boards work? What would I need if I'm 5'9 160 lbs? I'm liking the idea of subscribing to your patreon site. Would the carver CI flyer surfskate work? I've been surfing for 23 years and ride a 5'8 board but not much skate experience at all. Thanks,
@@surfnshowreviews7777 Thanks, out of curiosity have you tried the Ripstix Ripsurf? I'm curious what you think if you have, looks easier to get hurt on though.
@@surfnshowreviews7777 Thanks again. I saw a used Swelltech blackout premier for sale locally and read those are good for compression and extension but they may be a tad looser than the carver with cx7. ruclips.net/video/MGpMYfFAB4w/видео.html Do you know anything about them and would I fare ok with your exercise and online video lessons with one of those?
madscientistdan If it’s a surf skate then yes... if it’s a regular skateboard then no. You need to be able to generate your own speed with all wheels on the surface for it to work. If this board does that then get one
Epic! It seems that Carver is better simulating frontside(or it’s just me?)Because when I compress, I naturally put a lot of weight on my heel side, and vice versa. How do I practice on my back side with Carver? Thanks.
Any tip on being right handed/footed and surfing goofy? I asume most regular footers are right handed. My backside it's way more solid than my frontside.
Juan Durrieu I am the exact opposite of you... I am dominant left handed and left footed and surf and skate regular stance. No secrets to give you.... just work on compress and extend through turns and learn to generate speed through turns and maneuvers
Been riding thruster for 25 yrs trying to give riding quad fin an try. How is transition from thruster to quad ? Does it take an while to get the feel for quad? Going backhand feel so different.
Brett Weeks Yes it takes a bit... sometimes the board feels like it’s going to slide out without that Thruster Pivot fin. Hang there though... you get the hang of it and the speed and release in a Quad is addicting. Get a good set of Pivot Quads.
Hey I’m curious, with such an extensive quiver, how do you even choose which board to bring out on a given day? I know every board has its own purpose but with the amount I’ve seen on the show, there’s got to be dozens. I’m a Florida surfer, so swell isn’t a common occurrence, so picking which board I want to use is often a difficult task.
Bradley Pinto I am always moving on to the next board review. I have started keeping some of my favorites. We sell most of the boards when the reviews are over... I don’t have time to ride them all.
thanks alot for the tutoriual, super insightful and great verbal/visual direction. Which carver board AND truck do you suggest for surf training?...they have 2 different trucks. Thank you Noel!
Noel! I see a lot of surfers during the take off reach out and grab the water. Is this a style thing or is it functional? And is it something I should work into my takeoff? Thanks
Usually going front side, with there trailing hand, a lot of guys reach out and touch the wave face. Is it a style thing or functional? Like should I get in the habit of doing that? My surfing is progressing and I’m trying to pick up on little things other surfers do. Thanks man, your content is the best.
Rick M Episode 1 is free for all on You Tube. Episode 2 and deeper in a series is only for our subscribed Patrons. Watch the video I did on the Introduction to our Surf Better series so you understand it well.
Noel. I don't have a ton of time or the climate to get out on a board regularly. I don't want to spend allot of $$ upfront and just want to see if I can make it work with what I got. I have an old deck kicking around - it's about 40 inches. Do you think that would work if I just picked up the carver trucks and put them on that deck?
I have a 34 inch sector 9 and a carver, i bought the trucks for the sector and the main thing i would tell you is the clearance between the wheels and deck. You need a bunch of spacers? between the truck and deck otherwise the wheel is going to bite it when you carve. Those extra inches might be an issue for how tight a turn you can pull, but imo its worth it to get the feeling. I for one can vouch for the impact it can have on your surfing, it opens your eyes on what you have to do on a wave at any given moment. It just clicks
@@patrickdykmans7384 I agree... it will be about the spacers needed to keep the trucks from rubbing. I believe you get the spacers needed to use the Carver C7 or CX Trucks when you buy them from Carver.
@@surfnshowreviews7777 yes, you do get a couple, but for that long of a board you need to really dig those rails so a couple more will come handy. The ones you get Allan are a bit rubbery, and special size to the truck, so you might not be able to use the ones you have on your board, but you could improvise. Good luck!
I stuck a YOW surfskate converter on an old longboard and cut the deck down a little bit, it works brilliantly. It’s definitely possible to convert an existing skateboard deck with the right trucks/converter, at the end of the day it’s just a piece of plywood.
Awesome video! Thank you very much. If you'd allow me to share some humble feedback, I'd tell you that I'd be very happy to pay the USD 5 a month should the classes not require the carver equip. I understand its awesome to have but as of this moment I cant get my hands on one. What I mean is that you put 2 obstacles for me to get acess to the content 1- payment 2- equipment. And in the middle of the pandemic those are not prioritized for me to get around. Anyway I understand how awesome it is to be able to learn from you, I deeply admire your style and the way you articulate your speech. Much love brother.
I understand these are hard times.... the Carver Surf Skate makes it easy to build new habits and I know they are expensive. You don't have to use one to apply what I am showing you in each tutorial... just do it when you go surfing. Most Surfers don't surf every day so the Carver Surf Skate enables them to work on it even if all they have is 5-10 minutes a day to practice. Subscribing to our Patreon for $5.00 is the only way it makes sense for my brother Aarron and I to give of our time and talents to make each episode. We both have full time jobs and family's so doing these extra tutorials on top of our Surfboard reviews takes a ton of our time..... not to mention answering all of the questions from our community. Surf n' Show requires full time hours now.... hopefully when this covid-19 crap is over things will turn around and you can afford to get a Carver and join us. Cheers
Pushing too hard off the surf skate I had the same issue too especially if you have weaker knees try to ease into it and work on hip and ankle mobility
Ryan 506 Most surf skates are front footed.... I like that you can tighten the Front truck of the Carver and loosen the back truck to drive it off the tail when we are working on maneuvers. I highly recommend the Carver..... I have never seen or tried a Surfskate.
I feel like skating has messed up my foot placement while surfing. When I pop up I naturally place my feet too close together and I'm standing both feet on the back half of the board. It's like putting on the brakes. I have to really think about putting my front foot in the right spot while popping up cause it doesn't happen naturally. That's my biggest problem right now.
Stretch out your stance on your Carver. When your paddling on your surfboard make a effort to be way forward on your board so when you pop up you will be more centered or forward.
Your style looks like Kelly's because you are bald like Kelly, so am I, maybe I have a chance... Joking aside I study your style on boards reviews, it's really clean and makes everything look easy, which has to be the hardest thing to do in surfing.
This dude rips. I love his style and how he explains everything and relates it to moving the Carver. Good stuff sir !
Nothing helps surfers better then fellow surfers sharing techniques and things they have learned.
Excellent! Thanks Noel.
I'm a firm believer that skateboarding is the best training for surfing. Looking forward to the next video.

Steven Yao I cover that on episode two. Click the link to our Patreon page and you can watch episode two.
for me it's a game changer - thank u!
Any tip on being right handed/footed and surfing goofy? I asume most regular footers are right handed. My backside it's way more solid than my frontside.
Juan Durrieu I am the exact opposite of you... I am dominant left handed and left footed and surf and skate regular stance. No secrets to give you.... just work on compress and extend through turns and learn to generate speed through turns and maneuvers
Surf n Show Reviews thanks! keep safe!
Nice from Perú 🇵🇪
The one dude who disliked rides a SUP
Hahahaha, a foil SUP!
Haha foil sup kite!
and wingfoil.. ew
Been riding thruster for 25 yrs trying to give riding quad fin an try. How is transition from thruster to quad ? Does it take an while to get the feel for quad? Going backhand feel so different.
Brett Weeks Yes it takes a bit... sometimes the board feels like it’s going to slide out without that Thruster Pivot fin. Hang there though... you get the hang of it and the speed and release in a Quad is addicting. Get a good set of Pivot Quads.
Hey I’m curious, with such an extensive quiver, how do you even choose which board to bring out on a given day? I know every board has its own purpose but with the amount I’ve seen on the show, there’s got to be dozens. I’m a Florida surfer, so swell isn’t a common occurrence, so picking which board I want to use is often a difficult task.
Bradley Pinto I am always moving on to the next board review. I have started keeping some of my favorites. We sell most of the boards when the reviews are over... I don’t have time to ride them all.
I had the same struggle. I grew up in Cocoa Beach. Just need a good groveler board in florida really.
Surf n Show Reviews Thank you for the info! Might I ask if you’d name a few of your favorites currently?
Damn Noel...good vid again. I wish you were around when I was in my 20’s!!! I would have progressed much quicker!
thanks alot for the tutoriual, super insightful and great verbal/visual direction. Which carver board AND truck do you suggest for surf training?...they have 2 different trucks. Thank you Noel!
Noel! I see a lot of surfers during the take off reach out and grab the water. Is this a style thing or is it functional? And is it something I should work into my takeoff? Thanks
Not sure I understand what you mean by grab the water??
Usually going front side, with there trailing hand, a lot of guys reach out and touch the wave face. Is it a style thing or functional? Like should I get in the habit of doing that? My surfing is progressing and I’m trying to pick up on little things other surfers do. Thanks man, your content is the best.
@@jameskagel2317 I would have to see what your talking about. I think I have only seen that on big hollow waves… like Pipe
I have just ordered a Carver Knox Quill, which truck do recommend for surf training the C7 or CX?
Stephen Bogusch C7
Good content thanks
How do you keep your seaside so white?:) Mine turned yellow in 3 weeks even though I really cared of it
My boards never turn yellow that fast. I keep boards for roughly 1-2 months in my testing process.
Which carver board/trucks were you using?
Kyle Birkfeld I like the Yago Dora model 30.75” with the C7 truck.
Which model carver skateboard do you use.? What truck combination do you use ?
Hey Noel, I thought these tutorials were only available on your patreon page, with a subscription? And as always, great stuff!
Rick M Episode 1 is free for all on You Tube. Episode 2 and deeper in a series is only for our subscribed Patrons. Watch the video I did on the Introduction to our Surf Better series so you understand it well.
Noel. I don't have a ton of time or the climate to get out on a board regularly. I don't want to spend allot of $$ upfront and just want to see if I can make it work with what I got. I have an old deck kicking around - it's about 40 inches. Do you think that would work if I just picked up the carver trucks and put them on that deck?
Allan Maybe...
I have a 34 inch sector 9 and a carver, i bought the trucks for the sector and the main thing i would tell you is the clearance between the wheels and deck. You need a bunch of spacers? between the truck and deck otherwise the wheel is going to bite it when you carve. Those extra inches might be an issue for how tight a turn you can pull, but imo its worth it to get the feeling. I for one can vouch for the impact it can have on your surfing, it opens your eyes on what you have to do on a wave at any given moment. It just clicks
@@patrickdykmans7384 I agree... it will be about the spacers needed to keep the trucks from rubbing. I believe you get the spacers needed to use the Carver C7 or CX Trucks when you buy them from Carver.
@@surfnshowreviews7777 yes, you do get a couple, but for that long of a board you need to really dig those rails so a couple more will come handy. The ones you get Allan are a bit rubbery, and special size to the truck, so you might not be able to use the ones you have on your board, but you could improvise. Good luck!
I stuck a YOW surfskate converter on an old longboard and cut the deck down a little bit, it works brilliantly. It’s definitely possible to convert an existing skateboard deck with the right trucks/converter, at the end of the day it’s just a piece of plywood.
Awesome video! Thank you very much.
If you'd allow me to share some humble feedback, I'd tell you that I'd be very happy to pay the USD 5 a month should the classes not require the carver equip. I understand its awesome to have but as of this moment I cant get my hands on one. What I mean is that you put 2 obstacles for me to get acess to the content 1- payment 2- equipment. And in the middle of the pandemic those are not prioritized for me to get around. Anyway I understand how awesome it is to be able to learn from you, I deeply admire your style and the way you articulate your speech. Much love brother.
I understand these are hard times.... the Carver Surf Skate makes it easy to build new habits and I know they are expensive. You don't have to use one to apply what I am showing you in each tutorial... just do it when you go surfing. Most Surfers don't surf every day so the Carver Surf Skate enables them to work on it even if all they have is 5-10 minutes a day to practice. Subscribing to our Patreon for $5.00 is the only way it makes sense for my brother Aarron and I to give of our time and talents to make each episode. We both have full time jobs and family's so doing these extra tutorials on top of our Surfboard reviews takes a ton of our time..... not to mention answering all of the questions from our community. Surf n' Show requires full time hours now.... hopefully when this covid-19 crap is over things will turn around and you can afford to get a Carver and join us. Cheers
Amazing!!
Great stuff! I thought your style was like Kelly's because you have the same haircut :P
ps. i have the same "haircut" too
Super helpful legend \m/
just mirror the video and put it out as a goofy version so I can have you be my inspiration. heck I already watch all of your videos anyway

5 days a week?
After an hour long session on the Carver, I can't walk straight for 5 days.
Pushing too hard off the surf skate I had the same issue too especially if you have weaker knees try to ease into it and work on hip and ankle mobility
In your opinion is there any advantage to using a Carver over a Surfskate?
Ryan 506 Most surf skates are front footed.... I like that you can tighten the Front truck of the Carver and loosen the back truck to drive it off the tail when we are working on maneuvers. I highly recommend the Carver..... I have never seen or tried a Surfskate.
I feel like skating has messed up my foot placement while surfing. When I pop up I naturally place my feet too close together and I'm standing both feet on the back half of the board. It's like putting on the brakes. I have to really think about putting my front foot in the right spot while popping up cause it doesn't happen naturally. That's my biggest problem right now.
Stretch out your stance on your Carver. When your paddling on your surfboard make a effort to be way forward on your board so when you pop up you will be more centered or forward.
can you review a DFR?
Shane Pathania I had a DFR years ago and it has too much rocker for waves I surf.
Hey @Surf n Show Reviews, how many videos per month will you post on this Patreon platform?
Please try the hamboards
Do rip surfs work for these workouts instead of the carver skateboards
Not exactly... those seem to be a bit more front footed and the concept is a little different. Get yourself a Carver.... and let's get it going ASAP.
Perfect
Your style looks like Kelly's because you are bald like Kelly, so am I, maybe I have a chance... Joking aside I study your style on boards reviews, it's really clean and makes everything look easy, which has to be the hardest thing to do in surfing.
Hahahaha, I really thought Noel was Kelly for a few episodes!
