I'm on week three of surfskating and I can pump/do basic turns but wanting to start learning to do other maneuvers—can't wait to try all these. Thanks!

day 1 surfskate (literally yesterday) done and mind blown today...jump on the board, switch skate weight distribution, etc...makes sense though-I'm use to regular stance on downhill skateboard and almost ate it hard when i went heavy front foot (my custom longboard with Carver C-7 trucks). Every video you share is so simple and functional. Thank you so much for making beginner's learning fun and enjoyable.

I had just learnt how to surfskate a few months back. These exercises look very useful to progress further. Thanks.

Do you surf as well? Does the swelltech technique translate at all?

[wadifmohamed]

wow your videos were very useful for me to start surfskating at the age of 63. Thanks a lot. It’s a shame not to find any new videos this year!

[SurfSkateAdventures]

Very good detailed video. Will recommend you for sure.

Hey, great tutorial, I am I am wondering where do you look when you jump on the board? Down, forward, ahead?

[claudneysartisessa]

i´m a beginner, is very difficult for me jump to de board, you have a especial tips for make this moviment easy? (the skateboard slips forward or backward, which makes me feel a bit insecure)

[shirtlessGraveler]

this is excellent thank you for this tutorial. I’m gonna try to practice these things especially the switch stance or going up a small bank and then rolling down. I find if I don’t do things like you showed surf skate trucks are very Squirrley and now I know how to mitigate this I want to know your thoughts on, perhaps not having very soft or loose trucks that add to Squirrley Ness and also maybe show us some thing Surf skating on Nick surfaces where we might find debris or cracks and our feet position I have fallen down five times maybe because I was going slow and my surf skate truck buckled, turned and threw me down and I landed on my elbow. This Has to stop. I’m so paranoid now when I’m not skating in a park. Any kind of rock or piece of debris can throw me down not like my longboard great feel more comfortable and relaxed. Any suggestions?

Is surfskate a good off season practice for snowboarding?

[samjam]

I don't think jumps and kick turns are for beginners. I've never fallen off the board skating, but fell really hard kick turning cause I put too much weight on the back foot and my board shot up.

Nice video, however you're not riding switch there, what you're showing is riding fakie.
