You’re watching Surfline’s Trick Tips and we're going to discuss the floater with your host CJ Hobgood. Pretty much whenever you're doing a floater since you're obviously clearing a section to set up for your next turn, when you come into you want to just have your momentum going forward. Sometimes it’s just to bleed speed if you have too much speed setting up for return and sometimes you need to generate speed to get the next section so you can nail it.
When I'm going up and doing the floater I don't do a big bottom turn. I'm just like kind of a mid-face or just drawing a high line. I just get up on the floater and the whole time I’m on the floater I’m just thinking am I going to come off this floater and need to boogie down the line to start doing a bunch all my maneuvers, or am I just cruising off this floater on my way to my back foot just dropping straight to the bottom and just doing a
big bottom turn kind of hit and pretty much those are your two options.
Whenever I'm doing a backside floater, and in a frontside floater, you always want to keep your head down the line where you want to go. Don't be looking out the back and don’t be looking to the beach, just keep your head down the line where you want to go. When you go up on a floater up I tend to have my front foot up, let it go, and if you're trying to clear section just want to go bam into that. You want to keep your weight and your momentum going forward. Then when you're up on that floater and you got all that speed then you can kind of put your back foot back, and get that tail drop that I'm talking about. Or if you're flying and it's a big section you need to get over it, your kinda just coming up, your foots on the tail just going bam and then like that, that's when you're gonna fly off a floater really quick.
If you're gonna go up there and stay for a while then you have all the speed you can just go up there that's when you can rock and roll and that's when you want to put your foot back and tail drop back down. A good indication that you've done the floater correctly is just as quick as you went into that floater and went up on that floater, you're coming off just as quick and when you land you're actually going faster almost and it's just this good over your board feeling where you just have all this speed and it feels like you're generating more speed.
Well hopefully I was a little bit of on from the floater. I just want to encourage you guys to go out there and do it and just stick one for me all right.

i normally do sinkers..
i got it. you just go BAAAAM!
another one of my favorite surfers along with Kelly slater and Taylor knox
today on a lil stomache high left my friend was paddling for the wave about 10 ft down the line on the shoulder as i was dropping in and when he pulled out it made it a nice lil crumbly section and i popped up on it, like a 3 second floater it was sick haha
Great video. I think I am ready to start trying floaters and I think this video definitely helped. You guys are really experienced.
Thanks man ive been trying that trick for a while and ur tips will really help
Knowledge straight from myspace-time
just like baaaaam!
Love that... think... baaaammm... drop that back foot. Thanks for the tips cj 🤪
Loooovvveee the baaaaaaammmm voice effects
im 6ft - i got boards from 5'8 to 6'10 -different boards for different feeling's/situations -allround shortboard go about 1-4 inches above your height.
If you eat 9 slices of high fibre brown bread in 24 hours the next day doing a floater is easy peasy.
i go to the middle school cj hobgood and his brother went to
@poifectly Yes, but way more difficult ,as the water is actually flowing sideways when you're trying to travel at 90 degrees to it. So it's a 50/50+board slide with a sort of ongoing truck hangup. LOL! Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. ;-)
baaaam and ill stick one for you cj! :)
he's straight up rugged.
Could u make one specifically for the rock and roll
yup/...cus i have a long a 58 fish and a 64 gun you kno..and like some other shits...pretyt much you can surf with any board...it jsut depends on the quality and its damage.
do you need to be able to do botom turn to rock a floater?
que buen video
@youlosez oh haha, ill take that advice then haha(ill learn the bottom turn) cause im so inexperienced and i havent even started practicing yet, im waiting till summer haha. so a bottom turn is easy? cause i saw the surfline vid on it but it kinda didnt help
@OSeanSanO lol you can try, but a bottom turn is the most fundamental move in surfing. Like a child who crawls before he walks, you bottom turn before you glide.
@gasparddm im goofy is there anything wrong with that? actually one time out of a group of 7 people, 1 out of the 7 was regular, and the rest(including me) was goofy
@andrewbennie1 no i said is there anything wrong with that cause he said something bad about being goofy
hows here in 2020
whos*
wats the name of the song
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwsommmmmeeeeee Thxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kinda looks like a grind
@gunfan007
Better than no waves
it does look bruised..
i don't quite get what he said about building speed.he spoke too fast.I can't catch with it
@youlosez scince you said that i kinda want to haha XD(im just getting into surfing)
@joecraackers Dude you're awesome. LMAO.
In fact I'm still lmao.
I went baaam and it didn't work
@lurkthis Ah yes, good one, sort of like a feeble grind. B¬)
what happend to his toe?
@gasparddm wats wrong with that?
@gasparddm whats wrong with that
Not necessarily, but I doubt a person will master a floater before doing a bottom turn.
firewire :(
Little bit of help
i do floater in the toilet all the time..
@bmxdude2471 theres definatly something wrong with you! you should go see a doctor right away, if you dont treat goofy footer syndrom right away it can spread and get alot worse, soon you wills tart writitng with your left hand and only being able to turn left when driving, i had a friend who was goofy and thought it was ok, now all he does is sit in his room spinning in left hand circles all day.. its not worth the pain it causes your friends and family.. go get it checked son
get rid of these ads soooooooo lame
