  • Surfing is one of the hardest things to learn. If you can work on this aspect of surfing, it will make everything else easier. Super fun session, had a blast, learned a lot. Enjoy!!

    do you recommend anything else on balancing?

    • @LongboardSessions
      @LongboardSessions  18 дней назад +1

      Hmm well, your stance really helps with balance. Make sure your shoulders are pretty open, little bend in the knees, and most of your weight on the front foot. Give that a shot!

  • @TromboneAl
    @TromboneAl 9 месяцев назад +3

    You've got such a great arch in your back when paddling. I can't do that any more.
    When you're scratching for a wave and you don't think you can get it (as at 4:22) I wonder if you can drop your head down (slightly more forward) and get your arms deeper into the paddle. That helps me catch more waves. I arch when I've got the wave and am in danger of nosediving.

    Have you ever tried out a pin tail, not like a full on performance longboard like the TJ pro or Gem but something like the neo classic? Ive only ever riden pin tails or diamond tails and just would want to hear your perspective.

    • @LongboardSessions

    There are 2 people in everybody's head, you and your subconscious. The other guy is you slave but he is easily confused by you interfering.
    When you first get to the beach your both working with each other and this is the time to suggest to the other buy to try something different. But after a few waves just let him/her go do the stuff they know. You will bother have a much better time.

      I don't know man that seems like a huge part of the hobby for them. Maybe you and I don't like to do that, but it seems like they're enjoying that aspect. The laughing and joking together makes it pretty clear they're having fun. Maybe we try to see that others approaching hobbies differently than us isn't a bad thing. I don't know about you but I'd much rather be happy laughing with a friend than sitting out there pissed off at how others are approaching this beautiful sport. Just a thought.
