Surfing Santa Cruz -- Noseriding Clinic

[@imaboarddork3911]

Such awesome rides and tunes by Stoopid. I find myself coming back to rewatch this over and over and.....

[@TheMijify]

Love going out there with longboarders, they're so much more chill than people at like trestles or oceanside

[@gmant1236]

Agreed The people at trestles are usually pretty hostile it sucks

[@dcram76]

I've never had issues at oceanside as a longboarder--not yet. I heard bad things about Trestles though.

[@ramiro94g]

TheMijify yee that’s why I go to Old mans or Dana Point haha

[@NOOORGE]

I now understand why, its just a beautiful place, with great wheather all year round, just a place full of love

[@ernestedwards8563]

That's the truth.

[@brotherpine7867]

Thanks so much for sharing this! Must have came back to this video over a hundred time by now. One of the best logging videos out there, really caputures the soul involved in the art that is longboarding.

[@kurtcat09]

3:22 04:20 I've actually seen this guy on the beach. He is a really cool guy who greets even beginners who came to surf for the first time and picks up trash on the beach after surfing. No wonder he has such a fantastic surfing style.

[@dennisralph2199]

I rode the Cruz back in the sixties, stationed in San Francisco, USN. I left a 7 foot Dave Sweet in that town after Nam never went back to get it! Was fond of the Kelp keeping the water glassy. No crowds small waves, cold water live five!

[@foonatt]

better go back and enjoy it before some warm water blob comes and murders it all like in socal. sorry for bad news...

[@tahoe4beauty]

Smooth as glass ✍️)).... a 9' 6" single fin, this music, a sack of oranges, and a running Volkswagen; what more could I ever need?

[@theheebs100]

great choice of music. slightly stoopid is so great. You guys make nose riding look so easy. I'm pretty new to surfing still, but best I've ever done is getting like a foot away from the nose.

[@nalunui6714]

Cool old-school longboarding in fun small surf (at Pleasure Point?) including some good nose riding, especially by the Dude in the Farmer John wetsuit; time that ride beginning at 1:05!

[@Cryptocaryon]

i've been watching this video before every session.... great inspiration, and the music sets the mood for a relaxing sesh!!

[@nathanielbeardon8818]

After moving away from the beach 3 years ago, I’m getting my license today and that means I get to surf regularly now. Happiest I’ve been in a long time!

[@brotherpine7867]

This video is great, must have watched it a hundred times by now. Just wish there was more log vids on ye old YT

[@antonio_mr7]

5:27 "Sitting down Drop" > Galera Itapiruba Surf & Fotos.

[@leishasb2821]

wow they make it look so easy - i have just started aged 41 and it is NOT easy.......i shall keep trying though! great film

[@seanbowers1076]

Leisha SB keep at it! I just started as well, been at it for a year now. Always learning!

[@robertdawson2743]

I,m from the UK and don't live by the Sea but travel to Cornwall and Devon to surf. Longboarding means I can catch more waves, ride longer and practise these skills. Tho I,m not proficient at noseriding I do walk my board and have noserided even tho I don't stay on for long. It's fun just to walk the board to keep in trim. I also skate Longboard and want to incorporate nose riding and cross step into my skating tho slaming on concrete or Tarmac(ashfault) to American folks hurts way more than falling on a wave. I,m 46 and surf and skate simply cos it's fun. Lockdown has meant no surf trips or even swimming which I do to keep my fitness up so I,m Really missing water time. Got to get waves over winter and next spring. Stay safe and well out there.

[@JohnKittlesen]

Thank you for the video, the young lady was graceful and had great style!

[@patrickjaroch5084]

the soundtrack on this is amazing . damn i need to check this group out

[@DaDavid15]

was listening to the same song just before clicking on this. exelent song choice brotha!

[@manuelaestevinhagonc]

it's so good to watch good surfing &music videos when there's no surf home ;)

[@RobCummings]

That looks like the break between the Hook and Capitola -- Sharks? Can't remember what it's called. Nice schmello spot and the kelp beds on the outside keep it glassy most days.

[@howhow16]

pleasure point

[@mikesmenagerie6392]

Ya, that's what I was thinking, surfed Capitola in late 60s.

[@mikesmenagerie6392]

Ok, maby it is cals.

[@robertlapin813]

38th Ave.

[@mariocfurtado]

Love to watch this video...............nice surf.........nice music........all is peace.........thanks to post............Mario (Brazil)

[@awbjr9871]

I'm just learning to surf, and I cannot fathom how they can catch such small waves. So frustrating!! But a great video.

[@thekristenkchannel]

Wish I could give this video more than one thumbs up! Great music, surfing & vibe.

[@carlosdanger2013]

that old dude's nose was so high compared to the others, looks awesome, like he's floating.

[@mikeanctil7063]

michel junod bitch

[@jaileesurf]

2:34 damn that cold water looks refreshing right now!!!

[@TomAce82]

Glad watching it is making your surfing more enjoyable!

[@Bravoaloha]

The song is Girl You Is So Fine by Slightly Stoopid

[@leesolomon7959]

All the boys from the neighborhood. Nice vid. How did you get them all out there on one day? Well done.

[@Ninja3198]

Long boarding is very pretty:) I don't get why short boarders knock on it all the time, I've done both and they're both fun in their own ways! But long boarding motions are far prettier in my opinion, more about flow than top to bottom speed!

[@JasonRobertsgoogplus]

Love the soundtrack to this video. Can I buy these songs somewhere?

[@toastylad4043]

I believe that’s Reilly stone with the blond hair such a good surfer just so smooth and technical best one then and still is now

[@jonimcgirr5403]

Wow epic I just watched this 3 times over

[@nikmacd]

Bigger board = less drag (amount of your body submerged in the water) Which means its easier to catch waves. As you can see the surfers in this video barely have to paddle because there is minimal drag holding them back. And because their boards are big, the weight of the surfer is also distributed over a larger surface area and that keeps their body out out of the water. To cut a long story short. Get a bigger board.

[@runejl1]

That looks like a ton of fun!!!

[@dshizzlelongway9981]

1:15 dude shredded that

[@dcram76]

it's so funny I always thought noseriding was meant as a cool trick we longboarders do. I went surfing the last couple of weeks and I actually got better leverage over the waves when i rode the nose.

[@elielsonfnsc]

Belas imagens, muito surf para vocês !

[@Mismag78]

Great video!

[@TomAce82]

Yeah Reilly! You're rippin' in this one!

[@casianosd]

This is great. Thanks.

[@nameynameusername]

This is so sick! Random question, Can you nose ride on a foamy?

[@madrad020]

Dope vid bro👌🏼

[@gv54te4]

Longboarding and noseriding really makes my a happier person. I am eddicted :)

[@chrisbinns6546]

What model longboard were the orange one used by the teenager and the blue/red one

[@CristianRav1]

Soundtrack Pleeaase, cheers from baja México...

[@隼-v9v]

この小波で完璧なポジションにロックできるのがスゴイ！

[@FrequencyHorizon]

It's cool to see all the seaweed in the background.

[@presentfuture3657]

thanks for this Gem !

[@TomAce82]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@presentfuture3657]

TomAce82 Yup ! Stay gold ✨✨✨

[@3sgtepwnzr]

who's the old timer? he's got crazy awesome style!

[@TomAce82]

Good to hear!

[@Elyfairy]

I really want to learn how to do this!! I'm a 5'4 thin girl. What size board would you recommend? I could I do it on something int he 8 foot range? I would rather not have a board over 9 foot.

[@bernardaustin1842]

beckersurf.com/becker/mitchatint31 suggest something like this

[@MrRcDumper]

no go bigger 9ft nose rider or 6'6" you will get more waves more enjoyment and more stoke all it takes is practice and determination and once you become a surfer after a few thousand waves or more have been caught you will experience the same joy and happiness that us surfers enjoy " just dont tell anybody how great it is we like to keep it a secret"

[@imacuppycakeful]

What break is this in Santa Cruz?!?

[@freddy112sk8]

Hi, what´s the soundtrack? Great vibes!:)

[@longboarder3210]

This video is perfect

[@JessicaColecello]

i so wanna hang 10! not quite there yet. this beach looks so fun!!!! where is it? looks like doheney but better

[@felixjones5054]

Doheny is way better! I love doho, do you go there often, the rock reef is perfect!

[@JessicaColecello]

yes I do!

[@teganmacey7996]

+Felix Jones I KNOW DOHO IS THE BEST I LONGBOARD THERE ALL THE TIME!!!!!!! OMG I LOVE DOHO!!!!!!

[@987654321ck]

Where's this?

[@kukukev]

Charles Kang - Pleasure Point, Eastside Santa Cruz...

[@keonijohnson8320]

What beach is this?

[@TomAce82]

thanks Dylan

[@chrisgarrettmoon]

Where is this? Capitola or 38th ave?

[@TomAce82]

Thanks! Check out the Surfing Santa Cruz channel and be sure to share and subscribe!

[@benjaminparker6131]

Is this the hook?

[@TomAce82]

Haha! Curious which surfer you're referring to?

[@Lagarme]

Is it Easyer to hang 10 on a 9ft long board or 10ft longboard???? Thx

[@nicktreiber]

Depends on your height and weight kinda

[@brianfleming978]

I would say 10 for sure! i have been riding a 10 foot modern retro and it has made nose riding easy almost!

[@oliverarragon4073]

I ride a 6ft I can't really nose ride

[@secretmuse420]

10 foot is the way to go. Volume, width, all help or hinder but the longer the better. I struggle to hang 5 on my 9'4" but I wrap the nose with my toes all day on the 10' log

[@timsaysurf2532]

excelent surfing

[@alpinehillsmantarays6714]

what beach is that in Santa Cruz?

[@jeffreybeman5806]

did u find out what beach this is ?

[@SamDwarf8]

I'm 99% sure that's the Hook, I heard it got its name due to the abundance of kelp as you can clearly see. It's just a little further down from Pleasure Point. First ever wave I caught was at the hook when I was 10. LOVE Santa Cruz!!!

[@NoName-io7wb]

how can this possibly be better than short boarding

[@owenwhitfield9475]

surfing about having fun. to me anything that i do that makes me happy is the best. whether it be riding a log or short boarding.

[@NoName-io7wb]

Owen Whitfield respect for you doing you bro, but i highly recommend short boarding for the full experience.

[@snapamole]

Try short boarding for the full experience? U can't ride the front half of a board if it's short. My can ride the back or front of a log. That's the full experience

[@nalunui6714]

Mathew Dos Santos Don't see many "better" comments, just different, like guavas and lilkoi, relaxed vs more intense and frantic, different stokes for different folks ( though I submit that when Mom Nature is sending a swell that small, longboarding is more enjoyable than constanty pumping a shortie.)

[@jaileesurf]

Mathew Dos Santos it's not. just different. and conditions dictate what you ride. Are you gonna go shred 1-2' surf on your shortboard, get irie on the longboard or stay home?

[@chrisgarrettmoon]

me too!!!! i learned on this fomie fish! we should learn together!!!!!!

[@jstefanik98]

Awesome

[@joeskawinski954]

Surf's up!!!

[@golds04]

Would watch this any dah over tow in surfing. When grace was da king.

[@obyone67]

fun in the sun!!!

[@manitsmatt]

I prefer longboard videos over the showboated shortboard vids

[@TomAce82]

yewww! share it with your friends!!

[@johnsmith-gu4sn]

ya baby

[@TomAce82]

You'll figure it out.

[@kirkkanukie]

pure fun!

[@ユージィー]

Look like fun

[@carlosgarcia-landa7659]

soo dope

[@TomAce82]

neither! close to both though

[@steveflynn8311]

i bet you spent the whole session thinking, if only it was a foot bigger

[@nzsoulman]

or 3

[@henrywalton5967]

You can't have that attitude in surfing though, anything is better than flat. These waves look really fun and are very clean :)

[@hrburrell]

@@henrywalton5967 exactly. On the gulf coast of Fl where I live I would be happy to get consistent waves like that.

[@wineexpressions5497]

These are very playful long boarding waves.

[@Sidetrackification]

that's the smallest Santa Cruz I've ever seen. ..i hope it's not too big when I get there. ..

[@superbasedtaskforceagent8544]

so sick. hell yeah.

[@ala-bp9lj]

I prefer heavier boards to lighter ones...you can't ride the nose on those things

[@aptossoccer]

Really Tudor at 38th. That Riley kid is getting good. Better paddle more Tom Local opinion like the NorCal style boys better

[@sandrovera4567]

But Yall!.....I've tried!...done step by step as I'm supposed to and I sink or crash Everytime!....Oh wait!....Right!...I just need to do it 1000 more times and I'll start to look like these guys just after 1007th time...lol! ...sigh...okay...patience and perseverance.....just 913 more times to go...

[@SuperAmin1950]

Santa Cruz, the coldest water I've ever been in, in my life. I get outta' the car and I'm sweating; I'm a Florida surfer and this is my first time north of L.A. County. I look to the lineup and everyone is wearin' a freakin' wetsuit, but I NEVER wear an effin' wetsuit! I run up to the shore-break and stick a foot in, just to get acclimated. Instantly, my foot goes numb, and turns an icy blue?! Eff' me...WTF! I hate surfing COLD water, I never get loose; I don't want to get my body 'in' any more than I already have! At my local "Inlet" (Sebastian) that's not an issue; not even a concern.

[@Surfmus]

Try NJ at 44° water.

[@lukealvarez530]

@@Surfmus Try it in early March in NJ, its 38. :)

[@lkhoward24]

I once barebacked it there one summer day while riding an old time finless wooden board that must have weighed sixty lbs. It didn't seem so cold, the board blasted through sections like you could never believe (couldn't turn hard or you'd spin out) and had about the most fun I've ever had there. Every surfer should try doing that; we'd all have a great deal more respect for the history of this great sport.
