Shane, I’m a 65 years old man and thank also to your shared videos, I’m really having so much fun and sense of flowing like a surfer on the street almost every day here in Rome. So much inspiration from you! Thank you!

[@dingledorthefirst]

Cracking video buddy. I practiced this yesterday on my surfskate and then in the water and it definitely helped tighten my cutback up. You do this weird thing with your pivoting arm's hand where you turn the palm to the sky and sort of point where you want to go with your thumb. When I did that it mate a BIG difference I think it helps open the chest up, not sure, but it 100% helped me. Cheers.

[@davidrace1050]

thank you Shane, so many nuggets of knowledge in here.

[@1ajdelacruz]

Good Job Shane! It takes microseconds in the waves and is hard to practice but in fleeting moments - but with practice on land is priceless! Many thanks

[@shanelai2515]

Thanks mate !

[@AlexisDaddy05]

Shane, super grateful for your tutorials! I'm 50 yr old dude in LA who used to surf and just started getting into surfskating because it such a welcome opportunity to get out of the house during quarantine and feel the effects of surfing w/o lugging all the gear, wearing a wet suit and the rest of that major production which I don't have time for. What I appreciate is that I can do it every day for like an hour with my music and it is like that one hour of freedom and exercise for me that I consider essential. BUT. I have never gotten so many injuries in my life! My last major one was eating it on my elbow (not once, but twice) and falling improperly on my wrist. As an older guy, it takes twice the time to heal compared to when I was in my 20s. A lot of people are telling me NOT to do this because I will more than likely get injured again but I can;t help it because I am now addicted to it. But I know like all sports, your body and your senses need to acclimate to certain types of injuries (like in football or rugby) and you develop a sense of how to at least avoid major injuries as you get deeper into a sport. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind a) talking about your history of injuries with surfskate and b) if possible, do a video on how to fall and avoid falling (i.e. skate, wear proper gear etc.) My first injury was because I didn't know that I should kick the board a little before I enter a driveway with a major ledge. I know it sounds like a dumb thing to do, but as a beginner, I had to learn the hard way, and boy did I get hurt bad. Honestly, I'm lucky to have all my front teeth. Sorry for the long message but I think it's an important video to get out there because I've recently heard due to quarantine, lots of people are picking up skating and getting horrendous injuries. if you can't no worries. I had to ask because I dig your vids. Thanks for doing what you're doing Shane!

[@shanelai2515]

Thanks for sharing! Sorry to hear about your injuries. Your commitment and perseverance is really impressive though. thanks for the video suggestions, added them to my list 😊

[@craigcurry848]

I'm almost 50 and I live in LA too have broken ribs right now lol.. but I'd like to surf skate with you anytime. Keep going !

[@Mindrol.Lhakyi]

Love your channel, for us regular skaters out there I found a cool tip. If you have trouble watching goofy footed skaters and applying to your practice use a mirror to flip (or if watching on a desktop, use a flip the flip option on your display settings. U can Google a tutorial) I love this channel but I'm regular footed so I just wanted to put this out there just in case people are having a hard time. Thankyou Shane. You are an amazing teacher.

[@asicjc]

I like how you turned to the max your neck, shoulders, waists, hips, knees. It looked a bit creepy, but I like it! So grateful for all your sharing!

Your vids have helped me a lot. I just upgraded from longboard to a carver cruiser & am getting much more comfy. Just need to practice getting sharper turns without being scared to fall lol.

Into it man, could use a few more on water roundhouses in my life but sure am stoked to see you showing people how to get their practice licks in on land. Keep it up! _Scott

[@SchmozzleGTO]

Super channel, best Surf Skate content on KZbin... @Shane- I'd love to see how rapidly your surfing could progress if you got a good run on decent waves... a month or so of regular (daily?) surf... A series with Kale Broc teaching you to surf would be great!! Keep up the great work 💪

[@fitforfreelance]

Great example with the body turn! 😂

[@EdsEssentials]

Awesome video Shane! Just started with surf skate so your videos are a real inspiration 🙏🏽

[@manuloriot3150]

Very impressive, ... and usefull ... Thx, I'm gonna try the "without the arms" and "with a stick" to improve ... Right now !!! 👍 Thx and hello from France 🙏🖐 (Suscribed and liked !!) PS : I find that the sequence where you stand back and show how much you can turn front, step by step, is very pedagogical ... if that word exists 😂

[@J3unG]

Brilliant, mate! Cheers!

[@JosephJujnovich]

Good stuff Shane! Really like your flow. I actually taught my girlfriend the no-arms turning technique when she was learning to surf skate earlier this year. Also, nice idea to use a stick :P

Thank you, great video. Had to stop an go back a few times, because it was difficult to watch you perform and read the instructions at the same time. Maybe a voice over would be helpful.

[@dresx240]

Hey Shane what wheels do you recommend? I keep sliding out on my board when I turn aggressively. Awesome tutorials! Thanks

[@shanelai2515]

I always prefer softer wheels with more contact patch. If you want to maintain grip when you turn, lower your stance and smoothen the carve a bit. The more sudden and fast the change in direction and bodyweight, the more chance the wheels lose traction

[@zachcuden]

What’s the weight distribution between front/back foot during the cutback? More weight on back foot or more 50/50ish? Thanks!

[@shanelai2515]

Visually speaking, it's more 50/50 ish But practically, you'll feel it more on back foot as you drive through it

[@DutchNewbJr]

Depends what you wanna do ? Just cruising with a surf style Or surf training? Also depends on your stance and weight

Shane Lai it would be for surf training and I’m under 35kgs.

@@sophiainnis4740 you prob be good with a 30inch board and c7 trucks if you go a carver. Smoothstar has the same trucks. Most websites who sell them will have a guide for height and weight ✌️
