This is the best instructional video I’ve seen in years. Good work Ben

[@BenConsidine]

Really appreciate that Nat thanks so much, hope you found it useful!! Yewww 🤙🤙🙏

I understood the physics of noseriding. Thank you.🎉

[@BenConsidine]

Yewww epic!!! So stoked it was helpful , really appreciate the support 🙏🙏🤙 Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to see as well! Always looking for ideas that will be relevant to those who are watching 🙂🙏🤙

Incredible video with so many gems and insights - thank you so much Ben

[@lancemoore288]

Super helpful to think through the high line in comparison to the low line pocket and the steering back and forth. I never understood how some could slowly walk the tight rope down the wave. So much easier to feel the board lift to parallel then step forward. I get stuck because I hate losing my board!Thanks for the insightful commentary, makes a lot sense to something very baffling 😮 Drop jaw surfing those big pocket nose rides out deep. Long swim 😅

[@BenConsidine]

Hey Lance!!! Perfect! Yeah I love thinking about it this way and was definitely a big moment when I thought about it like this as well - hope it was helpful for you!!! If we're stepping forward with the board going downwards it doesn't always go well haha, which I've made the mistake of plenty!!! Thanks again Lance and hope alls well!! yewww !

[@toddmathis7484]

Great video. Where in the fin box do you recommend putting the fin...forward, back, or somewhere in between for a beginning noserider?

[@BenConsidine]

Hey Todd! I love it alllll the way back in the fin box, really helps for hold, the further forward you place the fin the looser and more dynamic the board will be, but for pure noseriding all the way back is the go in my opinion

[@gennarocullari5307]

Hi Ben, your videos are amazing! and you are a great longboarder! can I ask you some suggestion for buying a "noserider" longboard (I mean brand, model and measure)? thanks :)

[@BenConsidine]

Hey Gennaro!!! Thanks for the support I really appreciate it!! And great question, essentially the best noserider that I've been on is the Nova Pro and Nova Stella from South Coast Surfboards - full disclosure I ride for them but have ridden their boards for over 10 years now and love / find they;re epic! As for other longbords - I know Thomas have the scooptail noserider which I've heard good reviews from! Then the Michael Takayama Perplexer is also supposed to be great! As for measurements I have my own take on what we should do for longboards which I'll attach this video for if you'd like to take a look! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJnQqal3gLiMhbM I hope that helps!

Thanks Ben your are a great teacher communicator

[@BenConsidine]

Hey Christopher!!! I really appreciate the feedback means a lot!! Hope you're finding the vids useful/enjoyable!! Yewww

[@AndreSuarez89]

Nice video! I was waiting for any clue about the design of the tail. Actually, I have a pintail (Neo Classic CJ Nelson 9'5). It's pretty tricky to noseride but is possible. Any suggest to improve in these kind of longboard? I was thinking to set a Cali Pivot 11' for more stability. PD: I love your videos hahaha

[@BenConsidine]

Hey Andre!!! Yeah great point, I honestly find pintails are probably one of the more difficult tail design to maintain really good locked in noserides. I often opt for a square or even diamond tail in this instance. The pin will turn better but actually harder to keep water on the tail so can make locking in more difficult. Getting a big pivot will definitely help slow down on the nose and lock in for stability though absolutely! Really appreciate that, super glad you're enjoying them!! Yewww !

[@laurat1129]

This video is very helpful, though I’m nowhere near being able to noseride! For summer here in NE USA, I’m trying a Solid EZ street 9’4”. Not a traditional LB or Log, a pinned tail w/2+1, but it has that single-fin option, good rocker and rounded wide nose. As posted on Brian’s NJ site, I hope it will offer me the versatility to try a noseride… eventually. Anyway, everything you say makes perfect sense. So thanks, Ben!

[@frothmonster9728]

Hey if you were to shape a high performance longboard that can be nose ridden, would you put more or less rocker than a traditional noserider? Also, how would you have your rails foiled?

[@billytuchscher]

Great edit Ben. Thank you.

[@BenConsidine]

Cheers Billy!! No worries at all! Yewww

[@liutommy5575]

😊🤙🏾witch size is better for nose riding if the same with these kinda fins? 9”5 or 10” ??

[@BenConsidine]

Fin sizes? I definitely prefer a 10, more hold and better all round in my opinion, I’ve actually been running an 11 in my boards recently!! Have found it really useful for holding in bigger waves haha 🤙

[@villapanefranz]

Hey Ben. How do I consider board length for a noserider?

[@BenConsidine]

Hey! I think length may not be quite as important as some other features for noseriding, but it depends on your size as well. I would say to be safe a 9'4 would be as small as you might like to go, and from there on and bigger things will just get more stable and secure for the noseride! But as you go bigger of course other factors like weight and manoeuvrability may be affected.

[@markm7632]

Excellent tips Ben. Love the hybrid fin outline you created. What model name is the yellow board you show at the start of this vid?

[@BenConsidine]

Hey Mark!! Yeah of course , it’s the Nova Pro from South Coast Surfboards 🤙🤙 worked on designing it for a while with everything I spoke about in the video in mind - love it 🙂

[@markm7632]

OK thanks for that. I've been riding an all rounder longboard, but I'd like to improve noseriding. I'm considering the Virtuoso model from Sth Coast

[@javiercriado9182]

hello Ben. congrats for your competition on the wsl recenty. great material you have. it's serving me great to improve from basic to intermediate surfing. question: why the three fin system (1 big at the center and two littles at the sides) isn't good for noseriding? greetings from Perú

[@BenConsidine]

Hey Javier! Thanks so much, I really appreciate the support and stoked to hear it’s helpful! From my understanding the single fins can be bigger in length and width which helps to anchor and hold/lock the tail in for the noseride. With the 3 fin setup/ 2+1 the max id really see the centre fin being is an 8-9 inch maybe and definitely following a more greenough (dolphin) shape, which isn’t preferable for holding long critical noserides, I hope that’s helpful!! 🤙🙏

[@davidgraham4362]

Great vid Ben. Your last 6 months worth have been awesome. The Chess one really helped me improve. A question where I surf we have a lot of fat waves....rolling spilling type waves rather than down the line pockets waves. I find I get my best nose rides almost pointed straight at the beach on theses waves but not sure how it all works. These waves are often uncrowded so great waves to practise on. Any tips for nose riding fatter spilling type waves or sections.

[@waynebetts9074]

Ben, what length leg rope do you recommend for long boards. My board is 9”8”. I wear one for the safety aspect of others.

[@billytuchscher]

Might I suggest a 10' knee leash. DAKINE makes a good one.

[@BenConsidine]

Thanks Billy - agreed!!!

[@BenConsidine]

Hey Wayne!! I find the good 9 foot knee leash usually does the trick for anything under 10 foot so I think that should be the go! I prefer knee leashes because they stick out of the toes, but I'm sure an ankle leash would work just as well if you're more used to them :) Cheers!!!

[@TheDude68305]

As far as the rockers are concerned a 60/40 or a 50-50 would be better for hanging 10?
