Man you killed it in Venice Beach! Truly inspiring. I'm 26 years old, hesitant to buy a surfskate for fear of not being able to get the hang of it; but your attitude, discipline and modesty are giving me hope. Thank you so much for sharing
Who gave this remarkable progress DISLIKE? I just bought Carver skate board yesterday to learn, and this video is such an inspiration. I am 66 and a half year old woman and will enjoy my Carver. Wonderful young man. Your daughter must be very proud of you!! Much Aloha
I’m 51 and just started surfskating, after watching this video I’m determined to learn properly to improve my surfing and to master this amazing way of skating!!thank you
Very encouraging Steve, I'm 57 and just started longboard two months ago, now because of you I purchased a YOW and I'm doing my first practices since last week, very far from reaching your current level but aiming to that in the future!!!!
Glad to see people in my age group. Started in Jan 2021 at 60. Focused on Carving & Pumping then went on to slides to slow & stop as not feasible on tipsy surf skates as I have waterborne rails on all setups. Next is transition in bowls when there is a chance as there is only bowls in 1 skatepark where I am & competing with roller bladers & skate scooters.
Old head here to! 53 years young. Started skating again in January and discovered surf skate in March. In August right now I’m starting to learn snaps/slides. Old heads unite!
OG here as well- I’m 51 and started a year ago because my 14year old son wanted to skate at park. I figured I may as well join him. Glad I did. I will be getting pads and helmet now. Broke a big toe and herniated back disc but I will be back. Thanks for the encouragement to skate
This program totally works! I (turning 43 and appreciate the age focused insights) can now surf skate bowls, half pipe and pools and can generate speed until my legs get tired! I just followed your advice to the letter. Park wheels were huge in this and your other video about choosing a board were instrumental in that because my skate shop questioned me on putting park wheels on a surfskate! Thanks for empowering me, Steve!
Congratulations Steve! I’m 49 and getting back to skating (surfskate) after 40 year. Your video encouraged me to move forward. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Brazil
well done, you are the best. you really encouraged me. I started surfing a year and a half ago, I'm 63 and a half years old, I started surfskating despite the fear of hurting myself. I now understand why I am not evolving, because I only practice once a week. thanks again
Man, im 29 y.o. Back in 2020 i was injured (break my leg) with my 34" yow with s5 system. so now in 2021 im still struggling with bowls and scare of any small transitions. Your way makes me more confident to start. If you can i will too. Thanks, appreciate what you're doing. Much love from Russia, Igor
You literally inspired me to finally get my carver C7 (had to wait 2 months to get shipped to Australia), I thought I was “old” to start skating on my 30s, watched all your videos, and learned with you how to pump and I’m feeling GREAT with that now, after months skating and going everyday and practicing. And I’ve just started bowls this week and I was so scared but stoked. Now watching this video again, you inspired again 😅 I love so much to see your progression! You did SO WELL!
Just got my first surf skate at 51. Been to my local park the last two days using this as motivation and inspiration. Progress is occurring fast and these tips are awesome. Thanks.
I have gone everyday since my last comment. I’m on day 10 and on a Slide Fish Pavones 32 and have front side and back side turning getting pretty good. I still cannot connect it in a bowl but this video still is a great measuring stick. Super appreciative.
Thanks for thoughtful, useful tips and not just saying "send it". As a guitar teacher I can't stress enough that humans can do anything with consistency in reps, less than 24 hours apart.
Best video you’ve made by far. I’m in a very similar boat where I’m 45 and used to traditionally skateboard and surf. Then I discovered longboarding UNTIL I just discovered surfskate 1.5 months ago. Now I’m all in!! This is the skating movement I’ve craved my entire life of riding with loose trucks. So glad you’re making these vids.
I´m from Brazil 37yo and this video came to me from God, this is the motivation that I want to lost my fears and go for pursuit my dream, learn how to skate a bowl and be able to realize my teenage dream, skate in California next year. THANK YOU !!!!!
nice video man. i have 41 and started skating at 40. i know exactly what are you talking about, and i apreciate so much, theres no age limit to skate, or to surf, or to do things you like. you rocks mate.
Hey Steve, I'm a 53 year old Onewheel rider for almost a year now. I've seen surfskates videos online and been dreaming more and more about actually doing it. So, I bought a Carver Channel Island Flyer C7 just yesterday. Man, riding a Onewheel is so much different than an actual board! I need to re-learn what I know about board riding. As you said, I've been researching and watching tutorials on surfskates and feel confident about it. Your video really inspired me to go for it while being disciplined and consistent. Thanks Steve and maybe I'll run into you in one the skate parks in SoCal someday! 😎🤙
I learned Bowl and ramp skating back in the 70s and we always relied on small kick turns at the top of our carves to make things easier especially with the front sides ! 😮
Dude! This is mega inspiring and I’m super stoked for your journey and accomplishments. Just yesterday I purchased a Santa Cruz Carver board and I am chomping at the bit for it to arrive. I grew up snowboarding and dabbled in skating. Life happened, family, job… 16 years later I stepped foot on a skateboard and broke the seal wide open. After some hard looks in the mirror and a lot of research my 42yo self decided that surf skating would be my next vibe. Now I’m getting hyped watching peeps like you and I’m bout to tear these bowls up in my local area. Keep having fun out there! I’ll be catching up soon!!
What a legend, nice one Steve! I’ve not skated in 20 years. I bought my first skateboard a few days ago. Super motivated to surf skate a bowl. Thanks for this excellent blue print for bowl riding and general surfskate. Inspirational channel, keep it up.
Brother great video. I’m 44 and been surfing for 37 years and skating for about the same time but stop skating for a couple years. This video has got me back into it.
Many thanks!!! Your vidéo is so inspiring, I started today with practicing bowl with C7 carver board. I definitely need hips pads😂, but I overpassed my first day goals because of confident I felt watching your experience. I'm 44, You made it possible in my mind! Thanks from France.
Bro I’m 30 skated street for 7 years, I’m going to the bowl this week but I’m a little hesitant but after watching your videos I’m hyped thank you for the support bro !
Me encantan tus vídeos Steve, toda una inspiración y motivación para la gente.Que suerte haber encontrado tu canal.Saludos desde el País Vasco, un abrazo bien grande.
You on day 1 would be me on day 29. I'm 53, in the late 70's and all thru the 80's I stayed on a board while it was more of the Alva, Jay Adams and Peralta style of riding, noone knew of Ollies and such yet. Back then, OG Kryptonics and OJ's were considered very decent. I'm just now discovering Surfskate boards and getting educated on them. I'd probably stay with the cruising style of skating as I know of it, but have always wanted to skate an empty pool or bowl. I'm in SC, not much of that here. May have to travel one of these days. Great video
This video gave me the same motivation to do the same in 30days (over a few months). I'm part way there! I keep coming back to this video for reference.
Well done man great video, and reading the comments you have inspired loads of people including myself. Lived on skateboards when I was a teen in the 70's . Bought a Slide and can't believe how good these surfskates are compared to the ones we used. Keep those Videos up.
Great energy, so positive. I have some injuries on my back that totally were stopping me to think about bowl skating, but to enjoy only cruising. Thanks for sharing this video, very inspirational.
very motivating im 54 just started last week ride everyday great excercise n fun i rode in the 70s n early 80s,,,,willget a carver surfskater i got a longbiard pintail 33 with redz bearings, bushing app to my weight 163 and new 72 mm wheels
Excellent video. Day 1 bowl riding for me. I've ordered hip protection after your recommendation. I'm very much like your day 1 except I'm getting frontside and backside turns. Thanks from a stoked 53 year old!
Hello. Thank you for your videos, for your contribution and commitment. Looking for a new way, I found surfskate, and at the same time you. I learn something new every time I watch your content. Well done💯🤝
Totally inspirational, I’m on the same journey as you, and have just started riding parks. To see what is possible in 30 days is just amazing! My big learnings are that a) you were totally focused on the goal for 30 days b) repetitions to perfect your technique (and hip pads!). Great stuff, keep up the incredibly good videos.
Inspiring! At 47 I restarted skating after more than 20 years and I'm having a blast. There are lots of skateparks now, so I'm really motivated to try bowl and pump tracks, so I'll surely watch your videos. Keep shredding!!!
Hey Buddy, I like a lot this video.... the music and the video played during your day 1 was so funny 🤣 😆 😂. You explained very nice a clear your journey to finally achieve your goal and the best of all is end it up in Venice Beach!!! All my respect to you my friend and keep rolling 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
I am born 78 and I saw the "jmk free skates" bought them and learned to ride the bowl. Than second summer I meet someone like you with a surf skate, fell in love since it's a similar motion. I LOOOOVE the movement of the free skates and it just gives me JOY, if you try them once you know how to ride, you'll see that the pumping has some similarities. Anyway, thanks for your videos, got the carver green room today and it feels sooo good!
Congrats on taking the bumps along the way! Skating's a tough sport to master and you've hung in there. I'm healing from a torn hamstring and slight femur dislocation from a fall where one foot stayed on the board causing me to do a split. Unintentional splits will ruin your day. LOL.
Awesome progression, great video, and really closely matches my own learning experience - I love the flow you've got at the end! One more tip - for me the breakthrough was a Shane Lai video showing that there are two pumps on every turn - I was only doing one at first. One pump to go up the transition, then compress again at the top and pump again to speed out of it. Once I was doing both pumps everything started coming together really quickly :-) Oh and for the frontside turns, pass the coffee! (OMBE viewers will know what this means...)
Amen brother! I was hanging in the the extension at the top too long. It's a quick extension at the top then a second compression and extension on the exit transition.
This is very encouraging as I’m getting started with surf skate as a 30 year old. I recently just started skateboarding a couple of months ago and I’ve been dropping in some half pipes and it’s nothing like doing it on the surf skate.
Makes perfect sense when you say it and I can watch the process. Great flow and logic to the video. Motivates me to keep up my development... And buy a bowl board.
Wow, You are such an amazing presenter and makes this old guy even more motivated to keep progressive. Thank you so much for the EXCELLENT content, taking the time to doing this. You are a wealth of knowledge sir. I ordered a smooth Star Manta Ray. (I am a surfer and I have a 23 '' stance) love it and took it to the park . It is very very different from skateboarding (I skated as a teenager for years).It is really more like surfing and being on a gliding feel, and your videos has helped me tremendously. I just have issues with getting the speed in the beginning as I do NOT drop in and totally scared of doing that.
Great and helpful content, Pat is such an amazing guy, replied to my email on a Sunday with swift response and turnaround. Amazing customer service and product, love Waterborne!
You're a bloody legend. I need to do some research to find me some hip pads, and some good nee elbow pads. Apart from a helmet, I have nothing, and would love to get in a bowl, early in the day, when nobody is there.
I‘m 38 and love my surfskate. But two weeks into surfskating I broke my shoulder while trying bowl riding. All I can say it’s awesome, but I should have gone slow and should have taken small steps into bowl and Halfpipe riding. But.. there’s a point where you have to drop in finally or where you have to take the risk to progress. Anyway. Now I’m lying here in late summer, waiting impatiently to go surfskating again. I really like your channel!
Mate !!! You shred !!🔥🔥
Bro! I can't believe I just heard Shane Lai tell me that! You just made my day. 😊
Man you killed it in Venice Beach! Truly inspiring. I'm 26 years old, hesitant to buy a surfskate for fear of not being able to get the hang of it; but your attitude, discipline and modesty are giving me hope. Thank you so much for sharing

I'm 34, just started. Never too late!🙌
Great and very inspiring! I am now almost 49 and have just ridden my third bowl session. Best regards from Dresden Germany

Helpful stuff for another old geezer getting back into skating after 30 years.
Venice pilgrimage... positively based.
Thanks for making this channel man, really good resource.
As a 43yo learning to skate this is very inspiring. Thank you

This is so inspiring! I am soooo proud of you and your hard work!
I just saw Venice skate park for the first time this July. The one thing I will say is it is a LOT deeper than it looks in the video. Great job Steve!
I just graduated from school and your channel caused me to impulsively buy a surfskate to treat myself. Hope to be on this level soon!
Amazing vid! I’m 43 just learning to surfskate now. Such a blast.
persistence pays off! inspiring!
Pump tracks really hammered my frontside turns down 👌
Brother great video. I’m 44 and been surfing for 37 years and skating for about the same time but stop skating for a couple years. This video has got me back into it.
Many thanks!!! Your vidéo is so inspiring, I started today with practicing bowl with C7 carver board. I definitely need hips pads😂, but I overpassed my first day goals because of confident I felt watching your experience. I'm 44, You made it possible in my mind! Thanks from France.
love it. zero to hero!!! surprise with the upper body and hand movement progress. sick!!
Thanks man! I got into longboard cruising at 36, downhill at 38, and now at 40 I want to try surf skate. You’re a huge motivation man! 🤙🏽
This is your greatest video ever! This is so helpful for new riders. Cheers from Argentina!🙌

Amazing! Especially loved watching your line selection progress!
Now it's time to start to practice slides
I agree!
Love that ending, so smooth
Very well done mate! Inspiring for all surfskaters above 40
Amazing video and story Steve! I bet you were smiling all the time when bowl riding in Venice. Love it.

Great job Steve! Now we need your tutorial on how to drop in on a surfskate 😁
Yessir! Working on it.
Bravo! Practice, practice, practice.
Glad I found your channel. Thank you for sharing your journey. Very inspirational.
Dude this was AWESOME!! Many thanks for sharing! Best regards from Brasilia, Brazil.
Congrats on taking the bumps along the way! Skating's a tough sport to master and you've hung in there.
I'm healing from a torn hamstring and slight femur dislocation from a fall where one foot stayed on the board causing me to do a split. Unintentional splits will ruin your day. LOL.
Amen to you addressing imbalances🎉
Best advice ever! .. Get mobillity! Yoga will do it :-)
Day 30 .. damn what a ride. U nailed it.
Very inspiring! Im an old man who want to learn bowl skating too! Keep it up!
Complimenti! Grandi progressi!!
Nice video very inspiring. I love surfskate .good job sir from new zealand 🇳🇿.
Yet another great video- this one’s gotta be one of my favorites. Keep shredding 😎
Awesome progression, great video, and really closely matches my own learning experience - I love the flow you've got at the end!

It's a quick extension at the top then a second compression and extension on the exit transition.
So inspiring, i like your dedication and hardwork to your surfskating journey, thank you for sharing
Wow so cool to see all of us greybeards in here!!!!! I just joined Club 50 and I am trying to improve my surfing. Tough to do when landlocked 😂
