Hey, thanks so much! I really need to get to mainland Portugal in the near future. We'll go find some new cool spots together when I do!

[@jonathanrarick]

Man, awesome footage! I’ve always thought you were a great skater, but watching you rip these spots that’s probably no one has ever skated and making it look so cool and effortless at the same time. Crushing it.

[@MarktheLandlockedSurfer]

It was extra special thinking that I was probably the first person skating most of these spots because I researched a lot before hand and mostly saw footage in the same spots in the cities and kinda sad skateparks (to be fair the population is just over 50,000 on the whole island). I saw some other surfskaters cruising back and forth on the sidewalk and thought "man they don't know what they are missing out on!"

[@MarktheLandlockedSurfer]

@damo9706 Fish tails are for aesthetics, rounded full tails are for performance. If you mainly want to pose with your board for photos on the beach, go fish tail. If you want to shred on it, go with a full tail based off a traditional skateboard. My two cents!

[@RenKevot]

@@MarktheLandlockedSurfer is there any other plus sides for fish tail? Thanks much🙏🏼

[@MarktheLandlockedSurfer]

@damo9706 Less weight might be the only positive thing. But it will be more fragile, worse pop, I imagine it would add flex to an area you typically want stiff to drive power from, and just be a little less secure underfoot for drop ins or tail stalls or slash grinds.

Basically a 180 powerslide or 180 snap followed by a kickturn to bring it back to forward. I cover it as one of the learning steps towards 360 slides in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o57Wg4Jjm9yMo9k

Woke up on saturday morning, saw a notification saying your new video is out and I was hyped for the weekend! Made coffee and breakfast, hit play and enjoyed the video! 😎 There’s some great skating in this one (as is in all of your videos). But the scenery makes this even greater! I find the boardslide particularly awesome, as I haven’t yet been able to land one myself. I always get wheelbite on landing. The backslide to 180 off a ledge is great. I have to try this myself. Your kickflips are legendary, people don’t appreciate how much harder it is to land one on a surfskateboard! The drop in to the bank from a rock was also awesome.👍 Hats off to your wife for doing all the camera work! Mine always gets bored and angry with me after a couple of tries. 😇 What equipment do you use, we can see her running like crazy in a shot, but the video is stable. Is it a DJI Osmo? The aerial shots were great as well.

[@MarktheLandlockedSurfer]

Thank you! The term for that fakie 180 off the ledge is a "half-cab" named after Steve Caballero, hard to do on a surfskate but a fun challenge! For most of the moving shots, we just used the GoPro Hero 10 - the hypersmooth stabilization does an incredible job. Don't even bother with a gimbal anymore.

[@MaTiCeK]

@@MarktheLandlockedSurfer thanks, I have to try it. I can do it on flat. But from a ledge it seems much more difficult to do.

[@MarktheLandlockedSurfer]

@@MaTiCeK It isn't really that bad, the only difference is you have to get the timing spot on. It is almost easier than an ollie because you don't need to travel as far: Basically the trucks you pop from only have to travel a few inches to clear the gap. With an ollie your back trucks need to move at least a board-length because you pop before your front trucks hit the edge and you need to be in the air long enough for your back trucks clear that same edge.

[@MarktheLandlockedSurfer]

I have some Santa Cruz 95a Scudwadz on one of my boards and they work okay but I find them harder to control in slides. Do you find that with the spitfires?

[@DennisSattler]

I couldn't tell you other than Spitfire Formula Fours are the most popular wheels in Southern California in skate parks. I happen to think the slide is a little more predictable than Bones which are pretty much ranked the second preferred brand of wheel. Spitfires have their own sound when sliding. Kinna scratchy. I would not recommend anything harder than the 97a (green label,) since it is a surfskate.

[@moxar2220]

If you are flying out the door to get some surfskate time into your busy day what setup do you take?

@@MarktheLandlockedSurfer basically any trick can go wrong. e.g. 5:27 even simple skating on the grass can throw you to side to the stairs if wheel hit some stone or hole.
