This is very funny as i have always put my fin right forwards, i just feel that i can surf way more freely than when i have moved it back. Forward looser, further back the tighter the turning feels. Fin forward kind of makes a long board handle and react more like a shorter board. For me it's fin fully forward. I always have used raked fins. And my favourite board is a thirty year old 10 foot mal which i have surfed in every condition from ankle snappers, to pumping Noosa. The fin is 9 inches and more raked than a Greenough fin, which i have on my eight foot board, that is a 10.5 inch fin. Now yes i have changed them to compare the different fins on the different boards but it's really weird because i didn't really like the boards with the other fins in, the ten foot board did feel different in a slightly better way, but my eight foot didn't like the smaller fin. I just put it down to what you are used to. And what works for me might not work for you.

Hi Hen I have been surfing for the last 8 years in an shortboard . I am staring now long with a 9.2. Thanks for the advice ).

Is this techniques ok for mini malibu boards also?

It would appear You keep the back part of the board in the white water while the front part stays out in front.

Sweet song and Sweet 10, well deserved like.

Thanks dude, love your videos, cheers

Hi, thanks for the videos. Do you have any more videos on wave selection on you channel?

Super 🎉

I just picked up a longboard for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I can't believe how fun it is. And this channel came about recently and shows me what i have been feeling in the water. These big board can be ridden dynamically. Thanks!

I simply wish to be in Australia

Awesome advice, thank you!

So great!

Nice. 🤙 way to stroll on a wave and make it so easy

Locked in!

Nice little runner, I definitely must find/get myself a good nose rider. 🤙

Beautiful!

So good 👌🏼

Love it! Toes truly hanging

Thanks for the great tips.

Thank you for such helpful video, can’t wait to implement this to my next surf session! I tend to be pulled over if I stay on the top third of the wave and I feel like I’m going at the fastest when I’m at the bottom third. Am I missing something? Or would it just be that I’m too up high on the top third?

😂 is there still hope if I surf like a top Turd?! 😂😂😂

Thanks Ben 👍

I love your channel Ben! I can tell you how helpful your videos have been. I grew up logging at Doheney and Sano but never had a coach or anyone to really help me grow. I wish I’d had this as a kid. I’m now 36 and getting back into surfing after a 10 year break but I feel like I’m already better than I was when I stopped thanks in large part to your videos. Keep up the fantastic work!

So here is the tricky part how do you know where to angle your board which way will you go. Right left. Especially when you surf multiple breaks. So cal. Lol

...your videos are putting subtitles next to my misteakes ...if that makes sense...seriously!thanks a lot!great job

Good morning Ben, that yellow board is obviously a favourite one of yours at the moment. Is it the CJ slasher model ? If so is ther any shops in Queensland that stock these model boards ? Not that i need another surfboard, but i say you can never have enough surfboards.

Nice edits! Can’t wait to get to practicing some of these tips. 🤙🤙

🛎Hey everyone! If you're interested in progressing your surfing feel free to check out Longboard Sessions at longboardsessions.com/ yewwww!!!

Your a gifted teacher, Ben. This was clear and cogent. Great information.

Preferisco il surf del circuito JJ Simmers medina Colapinto....questo quando avrò 90 anni ....superato 😊

Very cool.🤙

Over paddling is something I realised I was doing. My take is, you can't catch a wave, the wave catches you and you decide if it does that in a way that allows you to ride it with control.

My tip from an old bloke who was a shuffler for way too many years. When first learning to cross step, practice all the time, not only while in the water but on a white line on the parking lot, on a gutter edge anything just get used to the actual motion of the cross step. After many years of practice, well you could say it's just like riding a bike. 🤙

You’re the best!! Thank you!

I've done head dips but foot drags....that a new one. Nice ride.

Smooth

Dang never seen someone hit the front ebrake

Hi ben, could you make some subtitles on your video ? It's easier for stranger people to understand

Tuneeee

Will you do a deep dive on this? How sharp are the rails? Nose concave, rocker?

Real surfing

This is sooooo good to know!! My board definitely has the wide point to the back which might explain why I find nose riding easier on steeper/faster waves??? I feel the tail latching on way better compared to gentle waves. And I honestly struggle with these soft, kind waves. I feel like my surfing level decreases massive.

Awesome video 🤙🏼

Did you just invent that ❤

You are so inspiring 😊😊

Love watching all the different variations of this drop grab nose twizl 🎉

Hey Ben! It doesn't seem like you're very far back on the board, how did you manage to not bog the rail in those sweet turns?

It felt smooth because it was smooth. 👍🏼👍🏼

bro.... I wish I could feel what you felt just once in my lifetime....
