CROSS-STEP & TRIM: A PATHWAY TO NOSERIDING A LONGBOARD
Longboarding is a completely different sport to traditional shortboard surfing, like leagues apart.
Shortboarding is all about speed, power and innovation, whereas longboarding is all about style, grace & flow.
In short, pretty much everything you've ever learned about surfing is WRONG when it comes to longboarding.
So if you want to learn how to do it the right way, this course is 100% for you.

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
GET UP WITH GRACE
Rise to your feet as light as a cloud, full of finesse, elegance and grace.
THE SET UP
Noseriding is only possible with the correct set up. We'll teach you exactly what you need to do and when, to put yourself in the spot to make noseriding a reality.
COANDA EFFECT
To noseride, you need downward pressure at the rear of the board, without it, it's impossible.
You'll learn the different ways to generate this downward pressure, and how to maximise it for noseriding.
EQUIPMENT TEARDOWN
Being on the right equipment matters.
Want to do high performance surfing on a longboard? There are boards for that. Want to trim and noseride? There are boards for that too.
All is explained inside the course.
HURRY UP AND WAIT
Shortboarders are in a rush, longboarders are not.
Not just metaphorically (although that's true), but in a surfing sense - and for good reason.
We unpack the way longboarders do less, to achieve more.
ZONAL SURFING
To have any success in longboarding, you must understand how to utilise the different zones of the wave.
Without this, you'll fail miserably.
We'll give you a strategy for finding the zones, each and every time.
