Haha thank you. She’s 8 now and totally ripping double blacks and trees.

Really appreciate it. And glad you find value. feel free to reach out with any questions.

I’m not really sure but There’s a way to reset the remote and then pair it again. If not contact the company- 3 months you should still have warranty.

Thanks my friend. No much publishing this past year but will be back asap

Great! I truly believe that understanding movement brings us better results and more reliable progression

Amazing to have you here! Hope I can help in any way- feel free to reach out Please check out the more updates surfskate videos on the channel.

How can I help?

You are lucky! what an amazing little town :)

Me too do u go to school still

ha! true that

Great- good start. Now turns - which are a crucial part of snowboarding and the most fun :)

Amazing- keep going and you'll see progress in no time! And as always feel free to reach out with quesitons!

so, just so I understand correctly is this you? For this case I would say, take a step back just for a bit, and check my video on the proper stance. More specifically I'm referring to forward faced position, with the arms more forward leading. Squaring the hips and upper body is crucial in good surfskating and surfing!

My pleasure. Glad it helps!

Awesome. Thanks so much and feel free to write with any questions

Thank you! Yeah I love the shorter boards and are def easy to move around with. However this was super stable and felt safe (as these things go) in higher speeds

Thank you!

Yeah it was fun riding it

Thanks for the comment! always happy to get feedback. You are semi-correct. in fact, I'll be making a new video on this explaining more. It is true it should pass, but as you lean, because of the angle, if I take a picture and draw a line it will look as the elbow is in front. In any case, it's a little more fluid than you make it sound, but I hear you.

Yep- I actually transitioned to the yow myself. I might film that later in summer. But I would at this point recommend the yow over the swelltech. Definitely for beginner and definitely if you plan to practice in skate park. It’s still loose but not at watery as the swelltech

@@ALLaBOARDvideos Thank you so much for sharing!

So glad to hear. Keep going and feel free to reach out with questions. I’m not posting much - promise I will, but I’m here to help if I can

Glad you found it helpful. Feel free to reach out with questions

Thank you so much! and Great suggestion! i'll try to get it by this summer. I can definitely understand the challenge!

💪🏼

You're welcome! Feel Free to reach out with any questions!

Yeah I heard it’s a nice board Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to try it. But I am currently on the Yow and it’s fantastic.

Thanks my friend! Feel free to send questions if you have any

Great! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Please feel free to write back with any questions!

I do surf. I would say intermediate working in cutbacks and snaps. - The swelltech is very fluid. Very loose and I found it very surfy and definitely fun. I think after riding several surf skates on both flats and parks I would say that what made the difference for me was working on the park on a long wall or ramp treating it like a wave. You can see what I mean in the Kickturn video: th-cam.com/video/jXw8zOuAC_M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NnEFl2QmtJP7uR3Q I’m now riding the Yow, I find it to have a great balance between looseness and resistance that is close to surfing. Both systems would be a great choice but if you plan to practice in a skatepark area I would say the Yow might be the better choice. In regard to surfing - you can practice speed generation on any surfskate. And I would say that for more advanced maneuvers it would be far harder to learn the movements of the waist hands head and balance of snaps if I didn’t have Surfskate. When I surf I know exactly what I’m looking to do- it might not always work but at least I have the movement in mind and It brings a definite advantage to the process.

You represent my favorite stories. This is why I do this!

Most welcome!

Great. Make sure you check out the newer videos on generating speed and turns. Go over my surfskate foundations to help establish good habits. More advanced maneuvers - snaps, will come soon.

@@ALLaBOARDvideos yes, definitely and thanks.

You made me so happy. Thank you!

Awesome friend! Keep going- you’ll find the right amount of weight and of course all depends on the board. Feel free to send any questions my way!

Haha thanks

Don’t give up. I still have some sessions of only paddling. It happens Be patient and consistent and it will improve .

Great I’m so happy to hear. Feel free to send any questions as you continue on your progress

@@ALLaBOARDvideos thank you. Applied your simple shoulder and arms - it was challenging and fun…and tiring 😆…also temp hot so didn’t want to push myself. Included your video in my you tube video that I’m editing now and will tag you in it.

Great happy to hear that Feel free to send any questions

Thanks for your comment. I’ll def take it into consideration- however this is one of my first videos - I purchased the SurfEars myself at full price and only after a while decided to do the review. It’s my way of giving informative and honest opinion. I still used them regularly and had zero communication with the company, at least for now :)

Thank you! So happy you found it helpful- yes I hit some major holdups on new videos- but I already filmed a few and will edit and release in the next several weeks. Some reviews and more tutorials for snaps. Stay tuned- it will come. In the meantime feel free to reach out with any questions!

@@ALLaBOARDvideos That's good news, can't wait to see your new videos . I hope you will overcome any problem ... 👍🏼

@@wadifmohamed thank you, my friend

@@wadifmohamed I wasn't able to see the video- it shows up empty. Feel free to email it to me at: watch.allaboard@gmail.com

Thank you my friend! I’m always around for any questions.

Hi @wadifmohamed , thank you so much - you are very sweet. If you are surfing, and feel somewhat confident on a surfskate, and you want a Carver board, I would go with the C7. Having both lateral and leaning movements, both of which you can adjust and surely the more "surfy" out of the two. However, consider that there are other surfskates brands out there; I'm actually currently on the Yow, which I find much surfier than the carver. However, that also comes with less stability for beginners. So, it depends on your comfort levels. If there are surfshops in your area that you can try them you will feel the difference immediately. They are both very common in most shops. Your English is great- I'm actually moving to Portugal, so we are going to be neighbors :) Super impressed- 63 young! woohoo!

@@ALLaBOARDvideos Thank you very much for your generous response. Finally I start with the Carver C7 when I am comfortable I will move on to the You. I give myself the means with a skate coach. Are you moving to Portugal permanently or just temporarily? It's nice to feel you nearby. I often spend summer holidays in Albufeira. best wishes .

@@wadifmohamed I do not like the word permanently, as I don't know what will happen haha :) but we are fully moving, the whole family, in 2.5 months. We will be near Ericeira. Albufeira looks beautiful!

amazing- thank you so much and I'm super happy to hear you found it helpful. Although there's a gap in video production, I have a few on the editting table now. More will come on snaps, cutbacks, and extra work on turns. In the meantime, feel free to send any questions my way!

It’s easily confused- and to be honest it’s possible you’ll find a few answers out there. But to keep it simple think about drawing the letter on the snow. In J turns you start in either heel or toe side position. It doesn’t matter, but depending on that you’ll open or close your knee and shifting your weight to the front foot and start by going downhill. Then you initiate either the heel side or the toe side - get to that edge and stop, which will give you j turns - once to the heel and once to the toes. Your starting position doesn’t matter. You can start on your heel go downhill and turn to your heel edge and stop. That a heel side J turn. I started on my toes because if you do sequence of J turns to different side each time you’ll always start on one edge and then make the J turn to the other edge. Makes sense? In C turn the starting position matters and will determine which c your doing- heel to toe or toe to heel. So you start by traversing on one edge, (unlike J where you start by going downhill) then you shift your weight forward to go downhill and then open or close your knee to move to the new edge. So heel traverse- downhill- turn to toes. And then the opposite. (As if you want to write the letter C to both directions).

You always look ahead. Maybe for now you’re doing S turns and coming To a full stop on your toe edge. Bit as you feel more comfortable you will center your self a bit more. Meaning, your board won’t be completely on the toe edge but slightly diagonal pointing down hill so you can maintain speed and not slow down so much. Either way. Always look where you’re going. Again, unless you fully stop in toe edge

Absolutely! Better late than never 😂 keep going, and feel free to reach out with questions

Sure; in fact I got one now😅 so I usually set up my board in a goofy riding orientation but when I ride I realize I comfortably ride down slope as a regular. So my question is does board orientation really matter?

​@@macarioswilliam219 haha that happens - and again, better late than never. Believe it or not I just heard from 2 people that discovered that after years of riding, and only realized once they decided to learn riding switch. Anyway, if you feel your natural stance is regular that set up as regular. that will affect your bindings positions and location on the board. If your board is true twin (ie identical on both tips) then it doesn't matter, but if it's directional than it has a front and back which will mean your front foot, whichever it is, has to be on the front side of the board. As for the bindings, after a lot of research I found that you don't want your total binding angle to pass 27. So although many ride +15-15, it's considered somewhat bad for your knees. As you progress you will find different angles for different boards or different riding (all mountain, vs park etc). I ride +15-12 at the park, so close to perfect duck stance, and freestyle on mountain i ride +18-9. For carving i go posi-posi at +39+27 which is a completely different world. So you see, you need to know which is your front foot to you can adjust your bindings accordingly. I suggest, if you go regular, start with +15 front foot (so now that would be your left) and -12 for the back foot, and then try different things once you got your turns solid. I will mention that since you rode goofy until now, that's great!!! continue and practice your switch riding, in which you can do regardless if your angles are +15-12 or +18-9 or whatever. Phew, does that make sense?

It's true that you look where you're going. But sometimes for the maneuver itself you want to look at the place you perform it, ie the wave in this case. Part of keeping your head back to the wave in this case is helping with the counter rotation- that's what's creating the snap; one side of the board is stopping while the other (the tail) is continuing. So your upper body is throwing your energy up, decompressing as you're leaning on your heel edge, and the board starts to turn. The head remains to help with the counter rotation. In addition, if you turn the head, you will not only get a small drift movement, but also you are more likely to fall over. Since all the energy of the board is turning, if you don't counter it you'll have too much of your body wait turning with it and you'll fall over. Think of the head as somewhat of a stabilizer in this case. in the backside, your back arm is the one doing that work by pulling back, while the front arm pointing to where you'll go next. Makes sense?
