For surfing, get a kneeboard. A pal who’s an amputee, right leg at knee, has rekindled his surfing life. In fact better than before as the foot-fins (even one!) let you paddle to catch waves that are marginal using normal techniques. Swim, catch, slide onto your knees and shred. What’s not to like?

I’m a 54 years old french lady, my daughter in law and my son, who is a surfer and snowboarder, have had the excellent idea to offer me a surfskate for my last birthday in february. My son has shown me the basics and I’m starting to really improve and having lost of fun !Like you said at the begining of your video, my son always tell me : it’s a surfskate, so imagine the wave ! Now with your video I’m going to look after the details and will go to another level for sure 😄 and will hopefully improve my surf at the meantime 😂🤩

@JahCoMusic 8 ай бұрын

I think I made this comment on anther video, but the thing that is being overlooked here is generating speed out of the toe edge turn versus out of the heel edge turn. Both can be done. Non-surfers tend to gravitate to generating their power coming up (extending the knees) on a toe edge turn. But you can also bend down on the toe edge turn and generate the power coming up on the heel edge turn. I guess if you just surf skate on flat bit is okay if you never do this. But if you want to apply it to surfing or snowboarding you should practice it on a surf skate. It is simply a backside bottom turn when surfing. Or pumping for speed when riding backside on a wave. The interesting thing here is that this is what Dave is doing! Notice that he only generates forward motion when he is coming up on his heel edge turn. He bends his knees on the toe edge and extends on the heel edge. Not so intuitive, but it got him moving. For people who only do toe-edge power generation, I would suggest doing an exercise where you are doing circles (or squares) only turning in the heel-edge direction, only generating power when coming up out of the heel edge turn. The exercise can, of course, be done making toe edge circles, but again, you would likely find that easier. Heel edge power generation will also help if you want to take your surfskate into skate parks to start carving in 3 dimensions (transition skating), not just on flats.
