1:15, sorry bad advise; if the wave is anything bigger than, say, 4 feet, sliding down and trying to hold a fun or worse, a long board, sideways, is gona get you in trouble, that board is gonna hit you or someone behind you.

I always duck dive. i personally hate the turtle dive. You can duck dive with a lonboard as well. Just push down really hard and use your body weight

Its up to you, longboards are easier to ride but if start on the highest difficulty wen u get the hang of it ur already there, ur choice

Nooo, after you use a softtop, you got to buy another one. If i were you i would look into NSP's or Minimals. they're for that transition period, they're great for learners. I went straight from softtop to 6'4" DHD shortboard, i took me AGES to pop up on that, so if your commited, then go straight to shortboard. Commited meaning almost everyday. But NSP's are great, they're fun, surf and they surf anything, even the green when you get good enough. :)

Get a foamie softboard like what they rent unless you have a lot of skateboarding and snowboarding experience, then maybe a hybrid, but stay around 8 feet (fo' realz). Then sell it and get a funboard. Forget about shortboards for now. I just went thru this myself. Good luck!

Matthew Bender - 15 years ago

pretty much anyone can do it on a 6'2

Thomas Meehan - 15 years ago

Thomas Meehan - 15 years ago

what does then? skill?

Thomas Meehan - 15 years ago

weight doesnt really matter.

Agustin Centurion - 15 years ago

yeah or you can try laying back a little more so your nosepops out more.

pkoch05 - 15 years ago

how heavy do u need to be to duck dive a 6 2 short board (not epoxy)

pkoch05 - 15 years ago

try poping up as soon as u catch the wave, or u can do an arch thingy (dont know the name). Its kina like a seal streach but on the board so that it does nto nose dieve.

jerseyRJ - 15 years ago

well im confused behind the actual point of ur comment and where ur going with that other than u like skating better, but untill u surf u wouldnt understand. ive skateboarded, blade, bike, wakeboard snowboard, and nothing is better than surfing and snowboarding. ive paddled out on 30 degree days with snow falling in clean 6ft waves, tubed an all and boarded off ramps floating over20 ft gaps and no skateboarder would really understand unless theyve been there and wouldnt be dissin them on here

PixelShifter - 15 years ago

I wouldn't recommend the last one, if your not careful you can hit your head

Hes a pro surfer, hes in good shape already.

niggerdaumos - 15 years ago

these are okay techniques. but like mentioned earlier, only in small waves. go somewhere with big waves and you shouldn't be watching this vid in the first place bc the best way is to start small. in big white water, the first technique will have u in thigh deep water again in no time, when u push your board under, your flat body is getting hit broadside and actually crating more resisitance than if u were to just paddle through it.

Hernan Edwards - 16 years ago

thank you very much for all your advices. I watched `em all. ....by the way.....Mybe you should do a little jogging.
