Master Your Surf Stance: Pro Tips & Techniques Ethan Ewing

A lot of surfers are told by coaches to drop their back knee into a specific surf stance. It looks really cool and good. But is it good for you? I don’t think so. Some surfers have a more flexibility and are built differently to others, so everyone will have a different style. If you want to have a style with a dropped knee it is more about technique than anything else. In this tutorial I explain the importance of how to open up the front foot at a 45 degree angle which will then allow for a more natural style with a dropped back knee.

That’s a good one! thanks! Don’t want another torn meniscus because of that tweaked knee

[@shannonainsliesurf]

Yes look after that knee! I’ve torn mine too 😅

[@FluffyAlpaca81]

Would love to see a short video on a couple examples of surf specific mobility that you mention in this video!

[@shannonainsliesurf]

Coming soon!

[@brandona8246]

good advice coach

[@shannonainsliesurf]

Thanks boss 🙏

[@nilekim23]

Thank you once again sir. I’ve noticed on video I angle my front foot like that, and wondered if that was a bad habit to train myself out of. Now I know, it’s just all the other parts I need to work on 😅

[@shannonainsliesurf]

Haha good to know. Glad you have your foot in the right place and angle. Keep it up 🙌😊

Any tips on what to do for surf specific training? (on land)

[@shannonainsliesurf]

Yes I’m in the process of making land based surf specific training which will be ready for my subscribers. But most of it is in hip mobility and flexibility 🙌

Hi ! Thanks a lot for that tip, I had never seen it before. I would love to have your analysis on Ethan back arm mobility. He always seems like his back hand is pointing at the nose of his board and his elbow at a 90 degrees angle before doing his bottom turn. What do you think ?

[@shannonainsliesurf]

Thanks. His back arm faces the beach during the rotation in the bottom turn. This helps with the load up to the top and helps to get higher and more vertical on the top turn and also helps do a more explosive rotation out of the turn.
