ok, so i'm alright at choosing and catching a wave now but at this point (around 1.23 on this clip) my nose points down to the water and I get worried that I'm going to nose dive so I slide off the back of my board (I know - chicken, right?!?!). Is this nose-pointing normal and should I just ride with it?? PS - love these vids, great for newbies!

These really are great vids. I've been practicing for about 3 months and these videos helped me pick up things I didn't necessarily learn by myself

Awesome. I learned on a 7'2. i would def say move back a little bit, that board is big enough to hold someone 250 lbs or so easily... so if you are lighter (im 190) you should have no issues with nose diving other than with distribution of weight factors. Just keep your back foot on the pad or about 8 inches from the back of the board and then stand shoulder width apart from that or a bit more if it helps you squat better. if you stay back you can turn and 'pump' the board easier too.

@chupathang45 i learned with a 7'6'' longboard

@Reesesp13ces Hey man... You should try standing back a little bit on the board. What size board are you using? You can also move your body to shift weight to your back leg if you have to.

I can turn and catch the wave and I have the right position. However almost every time I catch it when I'm ready to pop up the nose goes into the water and I wipeout. Help?

@GuyGroovey how did it go?

Another common error (i think) when catching the wave.... is sinking the nose ... Im currently learning to surf and i've been there a couple of times (total wipeout).... hehehe Thanks for the videos... really good tips man!
