Great tip! Kind of reinforces what I naturally tend to do when I pop up, which is let my feet fall where it seems comfortable. I've been trying to pop up and get my back foot all the way back, and it's always felt a bit "forced" when I do it, so I'll stop doing that and just adjust with what I need once I'm up.
Great video, this is something I’ve been working on alot as I’ve noticed my foot placement has been affecting my ability to really get those crisp turns. Thanks!
I was skeptical, but this is excellent advice. I've been told to think of the tip where he described moving to the end of board when paddling like choking up on a bat in baseball. That move is especially important in small surf. Do it!!!
This is an awesome video! Thank you. I struggle to move my feet once I’m up without falling or losing speed. I guess in time it will get easier. Sometimes I try to just slide it without lifting it and it gets stuck with the wax and then basically the wave ends or I try to lift it and fall. It’s a definite struggle. Especially if I try to move my feet right after the drop when I have so much speed, it is very difficult and I usually end up falling. Although it happens more when I pop up with my feet off-centre rather than just a bit too far forward, so that could also be why.
SUPER HELPFUL TOPIC coach !! I think the majority of intermediates struggle on this part, I sure do, and it's killing me ! Thank you so much for helpimg us out, ! foot placement is super crucial ! God Bless !
It’s easy when you have clean 🏄♂️ surf but it’s essential here in south Florida when it’s 25-35 mph wind chop were you put your back foot, you need to giddy up and go.
Noel, your videos are simply the best. I have a question: Sometimes when moving the backfoot all the way back the tailpad I feel the stance too wide, quite uncomfortable. How to avoid this when moving back the back foot?
@@surfnshowreviews7777 thank you very much.i can buy only lost Merrick or payzel.any suggestions please?dont like rnf.its afish. something like hybrid or shorboard. truster only
Find a shorter board design that does performance turns. Like the RNF 96, Dominator 2. Get a longer Surfskate that will help you widen your stance a bit.
Kool relevent stuff but lacking the details on how to move the foot. was hoping for some info on moving your feet in boots where once your feet are planted they are pretty much stuck there with the extra grip..is this just me and is my wax too sticky..)
Boots are tough to move your feet with. When I use booties I move my feet in the same places on a wave that I showed in this video. I even put a wave of me moving my back foot around with boots on. One trick to moving your front foot with boots on is to keep your wax on the light side. Don’t use too much wax and definitely don’t use super sticky wax with booties.
What is the skatiest/ loosest groveler you have ever surfed? I’m a skateboarder who likes really loose trucks and I’m having trouble finding a short board loose enough… any help would be much appreciated 🙏😅🎉
Hey Noel what happened to the Carver boards? You’re riding slide Surfskate boards now? Do you think Slide boards are the closest to surfing? Have you tried SwellTech or Yow?
@@surfnshowreviews7777 hey Noel which model slide would you recommend? I’m looking for a surfskate that I can cruise on but still be able to work on tech training. The swell tech takes a while to get used to, it’s generally considered the hardest surfskate to ride. And you can’t cruise on it or use it for any transportation at all. It’s very sensitive But I also have one of the first Carver Surfskate’s called the Monsta that they made with Proctor surfboards. Great board but it doesn’t really feel like surfing like the swelltech but it’s a great cruiser that you can pump on. So I guess I’m looking for a little of both. Is slide the board I’m looking for? If so which model? Thanks for everything Noel. Im looking for coaching but what do I do if I don’t have anyone to film me?
@@scottcuttre9705 I suggest hiring a video guy who shoots surfing already. Pay that photographer for 2-3 hours to get some clips and get those clips coached. Maybe do that a couple times a year. The Slide skate that I recommend comes in a bunch of different graphics. It’s really about the Slide trucks and how they work. It feels very similar to surfing and easy to shred.

What we all would do without Noel???? Great video as always!!
Kook surfing ? XD HNY24 all and stay safe on the water!
That half trac pad trick is probably the best advice I have ever heard

Awesome video thank you Noel! Congrats on 50k subscribers too!🎉

You are the best men 🤘🏻
Always great stuff. I have seen you surf at Bolsa, on a small day and you were cutting and turning like crazy. Really fun to watch.
Cheers for the kind words
Great video. This is exactly what I need to work on. I never have my foot back far enough.
Cut that pad…
fantastic
Happy New Year 🎆

Move back a front foot a little too.

hello champ.i need your advice.can you tell me what models boards can i buy for point break ? at least 4 models you suggest please? thanks
Rusty Deuce, RNF 96, Dominator 2, SharpEye Storms Twin Turbo
@@surfnshowreviews7777 thank you very much.i can buy only lost Merrick or payzel.any suggestions please?dont like rnf.its afish. something like hybrid or shorboard. truster only
Hey Noel, when starting the bottom turn, should the back foot be as far back as possible? Or just centered on the tail grip?
I like mine best all the way back to draw sharp percise lines
@@surfnshowreviews7777 that makes perfect sense. thanks for the reply!
Any tips for a shorter heavyer rider (with a short stance) that has to ride longer short boards to get the Vol right.
Find a shorter board design that does performance turns. Like the RNF 96, Dominator 2.
Get a longer Surfskate that will help you widen your stance a bit.

Just use twin fins with a really small trailer
And Boards with lots of double concave between fins with VEE out the tail
Hey Noel what happened to the Carver boards? You’re riding slide Surfskate boards now? Do you think Slide boards are the closest to surfing? Have you tried SwellTech or Yow?
The Slide boards feel most like surfing to me. I have not tried Swell Tech yet.
The Slide skates are a lot better than Carvers.

Is for that reason that I bought an hamboard years ago.
Easy to move your back foot at slowers!😅.
I move my feet more at fast beach breaks.
Cut the pad...use tampons😊
This is just an infomercial to sell a specific band of skateboard.
Really… what a waste of my time then.
