mama I made it!

they DM’d me for board dims and if it was okay to repost but I thought they were just gonna repost in their stories, when I saw it was an actual post I almost cried bruh.

I think previously skating sort of helps but sort of not. Surfing is completely different and the body movements are so different that sometimes it feels like skating hinders improving on surfing maneuvers... but i do think being flexible and active helps when learning to surf better. Honestly, i think the cholo has helped and being so obsessed with surfing that your wife threatens to divorce you! I think that will improve your surfing a lot. Video review and an unhealthy obsession

I have a cholo on the beach watching me surf. It does help and makes it so I know what is actually happening on a wave. Some people weirdly enough have no clue of what's going on when they are surfing. Yuri is on the cholo train too and we can all see the results

Dude! That edit from Racer was so sick. Makes me wanna go there. Waco should do a repost too. lol.
Need to save up some funds.

Waco reposted mine in the their stories and I was surprised cause the music has swear words, but then I saw they deleted the story after a couple hours

I've seen several skaters pick up surfing relatively quickly later in life. Maybe skating itself doesn't help, but the fact that skaters are tough duus and have the right mindset.

I think the cholo can help but it can't teach the feel. You really need to feel the movements. I think about this a lot, ackshually. Did I need video to learn muay thai? No, I did not. I needed reps and to learn the feel. Then again, I had an instructor too.

I've been practising Muay Thai by watching Rodtang videos then hitting a heavy bag.

he sometimes surfs a pool in a mall in NJ. The waves look awful, as bad as his local but in a different crappy way.
Maybe he should apply to become a founding member of Subway's Sarf Country Club on Long Island! If the wave is half the quality of what they sold Subway, Yury will improve in no time. LOL

 

[ehiunno]

Lmao that mall pool is like Waco for ants

 

[Northern_Shores]

This thread is beyond any topic by now, so I might just ask here.
- Is there a distinct cholo physiognomy?

The neck and head of several specimen appear to be attached more at a forward position. Not right on top between the shoulders as observed in whiteys and even Mongolians, both aquatic and steppe dwelling.

 

[menobrah]

That mall pool in jerz costs $200 per session...100% not worth it. Would rather watch Always sunny and eat chips on the couch.

Ryan Sheckler looks like he is having a hard time picking it up. He's getting better, but not picking it up that fast. I think you are absolutely right... you have to feel it. Maybe watching yourself on Muay Thai would help you?

 

[2surf]

I’ve been asked a thousand time, “what’s the most dangerous thing about surfing”?
Well it’s other surfers, specifically adult learners.

One only has to visit Swamis on a head high swell to witness firsthand the truthfulness of my statement.

If you have his contact info, can you reach out to him for me and tell him to quit? This is my advice to adult learners (except you)

I don't do it anymore. Most of my progress was watching and imitating. Speaking of that, I watched the groms today and they really go huge rather than safe.

I grew up skating from about 8 and didn’t start standup surfing until 14, but used to bodyboard from around 8 as well. I could read waves and the ocean and had been barreled many times. Whoever said bodyboard first was great advice. Also I learned how to eat it by getting rolled in the shorebreak on my Bodyboard.

I think skating actually hindered me. Sure the balance was there, but my stance has always been really narrow from starting on the skateboard. Also in skating, it’s kinda bad style to use your arms, I think that’s why I still barely rotate mine.

i surfed my best when i was training muay thai. knee sparring so fun!

Yup! Totally different body mechanics in surfing than in skating. My stance is narrow too from skating and I notice my turns wanna go more horizontal (like a tail slide) instead of under the lip.

There are very few people that can rip on both. Curren Caples is pretty gnarly at both surfing and skating, but i think hes a better skater than he is surfer.

Also a skater before a surfer, and I have a narrow stance for it.

One benefit though: I do think skating gives you really strong feet and a good sense of foot control which I think is really helpful when surfing. probably more applicable to tranny skating.

ivan Florence is a good example of someone who rips and looks natural either surfing or skating.

 

[Northern_Shores]

my turns wanna go more horizontal

Me, you and Yuri all on the cholo

-Coincidence or a lack of Ki?

 

[Bob Dobbalina]

If you're not skating a pool there's not much carryover.

one thing skating does is get you comfortable sucking at something for long periods of time.

Ah shucks... thanks PRCD

Definitely lack of Ki. Or at least that is what i like to tell myself.
