How To Frontside Snap | The ULTIMATE Tutorial (POV + Skate Simulation)

[@MatheusRodrigues-gr8ko]

I guess that was the best surf tutorial I have ever watched so far! For sure I will be coming back soon to recap, many, many times! Thanks a lot!

[@SurfingWithNoz]

Stoked to hear that man!! Means a lot. Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏽

[@miagossling3780]

You always do such a good job of breaking down every key point. Most tutorials I see say something like “bottom turn, and snap.” But you do an awesome job, love your vids!

[@SurfingWithNoz]

Thank you so much Mia!! I try make my tutorials the best on the internet because I grew up watching those useless ones that didn’t help me at all 😂 I really appreciate the support 🙏🏽

[@bluesea6692]

@@SurfingWithNoz NOZ THANK YOU!!!

[@gabegoldswain]

Ive always had good backside snaps although ive never understood how to approach frontside snaps. This video helped out alot, thanks!

[@SurfingWithNoz]

Thanks for sharing Gabe and yeah FS is harder cause you have to turn behind yourself whereas on your BS you’re turning the way you’re already facing. Stoked the video helped and thank you so much for the support 🙏🏽🙌🏽

[@ethanashbrooke]

so helpful been on the lookout for a good snap tutorial but most are super long and i can’t be bothered watching but this was short and sweet and just what i was looking for🙌

[@SurfingWithNoz]

Thank you so much for the kind words Ethan! Stoked you found it helpful and I’ll be keen to hear how you go out in the surf 🙌🏽⚡️💪🏽

[@vezzy7301]

Thanks Noah! I’ve learned the frontside snap just from slowing KZbin videos of good surfers and trying to replicate their movement, the frontside snap has weirdly been the hardest thing to get down for me, on the backside I nailed it pretty quickly and don’t even think about it anymore whereas I always mistime the frontside. I will test this out in the water, but I will now focus on the back foot pivoting the board before I transition to the front of the board and also know the timing. Appreciate it brah 🤙 Ant

[@SurfingWithNoz]

My pleasure bro!! That’s a really smart idea. And yeah I think backside turns are easier as you’re pushing forwards (where you’re already facing/looking) so on FS turns it’s like going behind you. Thank you for the kind words and sharing the story bro and I appreciate you watching to the end! Go smash some snaps yeww ⚡️

[@stevenyao8660]

ANT! The multiple views make your tutorials so unique! Please keep them coming! Question: what’s the difference between a re-entry and a snap on steep wave face?

[@SurfingWithNoz]

Thank you for watching to the end and for the kind words bro!! Regarding your question, the surfing world has completely stuffed up when naming tricks. I think if you look it up it says a re-entry is in the lip, a snap is on the face… but it’s literally the same move so I’ve stopped saying the word re-entry altogether… I just call them snaps haha

[@Sky-me3oe]

So helpfull.. Im quite a good surfer.. I do good front and backside carves, floters, cutbacks but I've strugled with the front side snap my hole life.. Realy well explained man... Thanks... ANT

[@SurfingWithNoz]

I’m so glad I could help and so stoked you found the video helpful 🙏🏽 keep ripping it up and I’d be keen to hear how you go out in the water!! And thank you for watching to the end legend! 🙌🏽

[@jonathonhiggs4875]

I've been surfing for about a year and your pov vids and tutorials have been so helpful cause I can only get down to the beach once a week. Definitely the best surf channel on youtube. Keep up the great work noz. Ant 🏄🏄🤙🤙

I don't comment much - your vids are really high quality and this one was special. I am pretty sure when I subscribed you had under 1000 subs... congratulations how you developed your channel! ANT

[@SurfingWithNoz]

[@ChrisDamara]

Love the way you break down technique and a lot of unique pointers. 1 weird Q for you: What's the difference between a snap and a re-entry?

[@SurfingWithNoz]

Thank you so much legend!! From what I’ve gathered (and I had the same question years ago 😂) a re-entry is when do it up in the LIP - like a windscreen wiper. A snap is when you do it a little more on the FACE. But to be honest I think Americans/Aussies say it differently and it’s the exact same thing haha I never say re-entry

[@kylejames1071]

Dude this was the best front side snap tutorial I’ve ever seen. The multiple camera angles help so much. One question for you in regard to foot placement; at what point do you put your foot on the back of the stomp pad? Or is it always back there?

[@SurfingWithNoz]

Thank you so much legend I’m stoked to hear that!! I keep mine back there a lot. But when you put it should come a bit more forward, then as you setup the bottom turn it should press back against it 🤙🏽

[@arunr5529]

Excellent analysis mate. I’ve been surfing four or five years and just want to start learning snaps. You break it down beautifully. Also thanks for the tip with the bottom turn. I often have this problem with surfing too horizontally which is a typical problem I guess for intermediate level, it sounds like that could be because I’m not starting my bottom turn by first pointing towards the shore to help with the angle up the wave? I guess I’ve been worried too often about ending up in the flats 😅

Excellent FS Snap tutorial, excellent explanations, great variety of camera angles and also great video examples! 🤙 My only constructive feedback would be to slow down the step by step summary just enough so you don't have to rush it for maximum effect. 🙌 Love the common mistakes section and surf skate land practice also great examples of land practice. Will try and practice this in smaller onshore/offshore conditions before using in bigger sections.

[@SurfingWithNoz]

[@howie6666]

I always feel like when I get to the lip and all out of whack. Could I be too straight or not getting deep enough on my bottom turns?

[@SurfingWithNoz]

Sounds like something to do with your setup before the snap. Maybe a lack of speed? Try and get some video footage of you. Probably the best way to learn what you’re doing
