THE UNTOLD METHOD to Turning a Big Board

[@LongboardSessions]

Improve your surfing even faster at www.longboardsessions.com

[@aussiert]

This method changed my surfing completely, been surfing for a longtime and has always been mediocre at turning, it changed now, tried this in the last two sessions and it’s so easy.

[@LongboardSessions]

Wow that's so great to hear, glad the video helped!!

[@anjelicayoder1177]

This was hilarious and so well done, including the acting! Plus, great tips for turning! Always look forward to your videos, my lunch entertainment haha

[@LongboardSessions]

haha thanks so much! Glad you liked it🤙

Your videos are seriously hilarious and so well put together. Somebody get this man 100k subscribers.

haha thanks Patrick! One day 😂

[@marcalexandremaurice]

Alright. That's it! You need to start making movies. You are seriously talented, committed and hungry. I want to see your productions on the big screen !

hahaha! Thanks so much Marc, really appreciate it!

[@constanceegert269]

Hi from New Zealand, mate I am an avid watcher of all your clips but this one takes it to the next level, Cheers!!

Oh awesome thanks! Yea this was a fun one to edit

[@nikosskouroliakos5816]

Man this video looks professionally made!!!! Well done!! It must have been a loooot of work.

[@LongboardSessions]

thanks!! it was soooo much work. Must have been 30+ hours of work to make this video lol

[@ridzalwal2251]

Started surfing about 2 months ago on 8' soft tops, never been able to turn, always heading straight down to the beach and occasionally if i angle the take off right, i i could go straight down the line. After i came across this video, i went out the next morning and I tried this technique on the very 1st wave that i caught and i was able to make left and right turns easily like i have been doing it for a while. It's crazy how all the coaches I had, didn't mention this. They all had the same "look to where you want to turn" advice which is quite vague i think. So, thank you so much for this and I still can't believe your method worked on the first try.

[@LongboardSessions]

wow this is awesome! So glad it worked out!! This is the simplest way to explain a turn and works out well when it's simplified. Yeww!!

[@greyhairsoft]

I've been a long-time subscriber and this is by far the *best* post I've seen from you! "I'm no longer a danger to the line-up" is GOLD! "Turning Prison" is PLATINUM!

[@LongboardSessions]

Thanks so much!! Haha yep, that was written and performed by the great Gilad! He killed it

[@greyhairsoft]

@@LongboardSessions You're also the reason I've gone to single-fin now on my longboard (vs always surfing with thrusters). Keep up the *great* content!

[@fsoileau]

I love it, I like your storytelling but especially your breakdown of the basic stance. I am 62 Hawaiian, born there with a Hawaiian mother that took us to the beach since I was born. My first board was at the age of 10. What you presented in this video took me 20 years to learn. Square of your shoulders, short stance. Wish there was youtube back then. Can't wait for the section on getting comfortable with the face of the wave and dragging yourself into the barrow.

[@LongboardSessions]

Thanks so much!! Very cool story. Yes, youtube has made it much easier for surfers these days haha!

[@DaliaGlo]

One of the best videos I’ve ever seen!

[@LongboardSessions]

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it

[@stephenberry6191]

ShoreSurf Redemption is Truly brilliant!!! My longboard fin has become a shortboard fin after years of getting nowhere by wearing it down on rocks however I now plan to use it to help control my board to turn. Plus I just got a new fin to polish up. haha The rehabilitation path to turning prison is clear now and I hope to escape (one day) by etching into my muscles memory the movements shown & lessons learnt. Thanks Brian for all of your videos, always great to watch , lighthearted in providing such informative & helpful information for everyone’s surfing progression. Gods honest truth,I’m sure Morgan Freeman would be so proud to have been part of your video. Love your work, Thanks again.

[@LongboardSessions]

Thanks so much Stephen! Really loving making the videos... glad people seem to enjoy them! Makes it all worth it

[@Adam-hn3qp]

Hi there ! thanks for your awesome videos . I only discovered them today while home isolating , recovering from Covid. I'm 55 , been surfing about a 1.5 yrs and really only getting it together in last few months . I'm riding an 8ft board. thanks again. Adam New Zealand 🤙🏽🤙

[@LongboardSessions]

Awesome Adam! 1.5 years is not a long time, so if you're starting to get it than you're on the right track. Surfing is the one of the hardest things to improve at. Takes so many wipeouts and horrible days to finally start getting the hang of it. It only gets better!

[@nznige]

I am 44 (also from NZ) and just started a couple of years ago, I ride a 7ft Soft beastie which is pretty good for most days on the east coast as long as I stay out of the 5ft plus range, prefer to ride around 2-3 ft, I am considering going up to an 8 ft ish (and picking up a 6 2' or something for the non longboarding days) but am wondering if I should go a bit bigger, I like to work the wave a bit rather than just cruise the face

[@richscoza4362]

I just started watching your channel and the level of entertainment is through the roof! You're making the informational portion so much fun to watch and it really sticks because it's easy to watch. So well done! I'm actually thinking of pick up my first long board at this point. Cheers from Seabright! 🤙🤙
