SURF SKATE TUTORIAL SERIES | #1: SPEED FLOW LESSON
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 พ.ค. 2024
- Surf skating has taken off in the last few years as one of the primary on-land training methods for surfers to improve their on wave performance.
Without the restrictions of waiting for a wave and lucking into the right position to catch it, surfers can now practice manoeuvres, speed pumping and much more on the concrete. In this series I want to help you master the most important techniques on a surf skate, which also apply on the surfboard, so that you can start ripping in the waves.
This video is brought to you by my best-selling course, THE ULTIMATE SURF SKATE PROGRAM. Join over 3000 students at bit.ly/Ultimate_Surf_Skate_Pro...

I’m going to be 40 this year, I took up surf a year ago and just got my first surf-skate 🥳
same here. good luck . love it
I'm 36 and just got my first surf skate with a future goal of surfing and snowboarding, let's do itttt!!
Nice bro I’m 52 and bombing hills on my long board carving at 30+. Looking to get back in the water myself after30 years.
52! Skate & Destroy!
Enjoy !
I was so pumped to watch this. I had to wait all day as that pest called work got in the way. Excellent tips that I can't wait to go and try out on my surfskate. Thanks Kale for all the awesome work.
Great advice Kale. The best video I have seen. Clear and concise. Thank you.
Great primer, thanks! Been skating forever but skating on a true surf skate is new to me. Backhand, forehand techniques makes all the difference.
by far the best tutorial out there! Kudos to Australia
Been waiting for this series, just built a really cool surf skate with the water born surf trucks, had my own training routine going, and been noticing a difference in the water, now I can add these other techniques into it and hopefully see more results, Thanks for sharing these tips and techniques. Excited for the next video👍
Exactly what I needed in that particular moment, thx for sharing freely your knowledge and experience with us ☮Greetings from France ❤
awesome video! I've been surf skating for about a month and have just been learning from videos here and there but this is a really concrete exercise thanks!
Got my manta ray smoothstar a couple weeks ago. Couldnt barely stand on it, now im genersting speed even uphill. I reckon I've progressed a years worth of surfing already. So fun and convenient especially now I'm a dad. Thanks Kale.
Wow, probably the most important surfskate video I ever saw. I think I will get myself the surfskate program at some stage!
Keep up the great work boss!
Excited to try these techniques in the water. Thanks for the tips!!
You are welcome!
The Tennisball pull tip was it for me! Thanks so much! Now i can generate even more speed!
Kale, you're awesome! Thanks for this video! Super helpful!
Really you are the surf teacher I have learned so much from you! You are best surfer 🏄♂️ I’m definitely going to start surf skating!!!
This is great. Just resetup my surfskate. Definitely a style of skating I want to add to me Adventure. This is helpful.
This video unlocked my mind, now i know how the movement works and achieved to do it. 🏄♂
I have been waiting sooo long for this. Keep it up!
Great stuff! Thanks for the tutorial. Can't wait to watch cutback explanations and training in a bowl. 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Stirling Shepard loves your tutorials bro. Guys showing us how it's done. Here's how and what to do. Watch and learn. Rock on Coach
Fantastic!!! Shared with some beginner friends. Thank you
wow solid! key take away is the lower body provides speed and power and the upper body provide direction.
Surfer's Roadmap surfskate program is sweet. I learned a ton from it when covid started. Thxs bro🤙
Such a nice tutorial on basics. I am definetly need to spend more time on the exercises you talked about it. Congrats
Great tutorial man! Just got my first proper surfskate after riding with a surf adapter on my esk8 for a while. Although i have skated for years and can carve, surfskate is very different to my usual riding style and your breakdown of the technique is perfect! I know what to work on when i have my first session today, can't wait!🤙🤙🤙
Very useful info dude! Great video, thanks so much, it’s always nice to come back to the basics 🤙🏼🙂
Thank you for the amazing explanation. Such a wonderful person you are. I gained lots of confidence and motivation by watching your videos. Appreciate it a lot!
😍
Best videos, most informative and carismatic...we love u kale regards from Brazil
Now i am going to try this sport.❤❤❤
Awesome video as always. Just what I needed to progress! Recently took up surfing and surf skating and your videos are really helpful.
Great to hear!
Best tutorial out there!!! Loved the shovel thing 😂
Great advice!
Thank you so much !!!
Superb thanks Kale!
My pleasure!
My favourite is the Leilani curfboard 🤩🤩
Practice myself in Taiwan, it’s really helps a lot. Thank u so much❤
Bro. I am pissed that TH-cam only just suggested this video . The high/low around the cones was a game changer for me 🤯 thanks for sharing your wisdom, cobba
That was great thanks!
Holy crap, this is excellent instruction!
Thanks!
thanks kale for share this nice content
Backhand 🔛🔝
Thank you
Love it Kale! I am signed up for the Course and only done a small amount of it - this has given me a kick up the bum to start practicing on my Smoothstar. Love the Shovel analogy! :)
Frothing !! Lemme know how you go!
I used to just pump with 50/50 weight distribution on both feet, but I noticed a big speed increase after doing this hula adjustment @4:34 THANK YOU
Hi there my friend!
So, congratulación for the video really easy tips.
I got a Yow SurfSkate (maid in Spain) and it’s so smooth board, I love it!
Have a nice day👋🏻🧡
So exited I saw this tutorials made by you. So well explained! What distance do you recommend between the cones for a complete beginner? Thanks for creating this video 🤙🏻🌊🛹
Brilliant
This is soooo 👍🏻good. Thank you 🙏
Got a Carver 31.25" KNOX QUILL CX. Thanks for the tips, I'm gonna check if i do as you said ;)
11:00 - great explanation! Thank you! I've been learning to pump down the wave to generate speed and have made a lot of fun progress this year but I'm starting to get hip pain( right side). I'm almost 50 and it's discouraging. I'll try that compression/extension suggestion. Also, I just subscribed. I thought I already was? Thanks for being a great resource, Kale! 😊👍
try different position of your front and back leg, and see which one hurt less your hip - it works for me (every time I change the surfskate I have this issue, with my hip or with my knee)
BRAVO kale
I have a Carver. I love my board but the nose dive has been really. In the last 5 months I have done it twice. I strongly advise safety gear to lower heal time.
I hope your video helps me with my speed I have hit a pump track it's not easy at all due to not getting enough speed.
Nice skill 👍👍
Great video! Very well explained🤙51 here on a nitrosk8 rainbow.
good job ! Thank's
I really love the ultimate surfskate program. It helped me a lot with memory muscle and transferring the movement to actual surfing. Are you planning of also creating surfskate videos on a pump track and on ramps?
🙌🏽🤙🏽
you're awesome! Cheers from Ericeira
I just bought the ultimate surfskate course !
Nice skill 🙂🤙🏼
Where was the bit filmed 30 seconds in? Love the run there with the banked turns.
i have been using my surfskate all wrong, i have been treating it like a normal skateboard that just turns a little better... ill have to try this
toooop!!!
thx
Great project in the makings. Lots of people are turning to surfskating as a surf trainer. Personally, I started with a budget board - Decathlon's carver (Oxelo 540) but quickly realized that its trucks are hindering my turns and you can't really go through cones placed close one to another without ending on 2 wheels. Now, I'm using a Smoothstar Holy Toledo and I'm really happy although a deck a bit more concave might help more when attempting to do tricks. In terms of movement, I feel that I need to put a lot of concious effort to generate speed using the proper technique so I kinda cheat a lot by wiggling and not compressing/extending enough (or at all). Would love to find out more about how to correct that. This also affects my snaps on smooth ramps (not bowl) as I can't get to the top part of the ramp. I mostly loose the momentum while going up so the trick usually ends incomplete. Looking forward for the episodes on tricks as well. Good luck and keep up the good vibes Kale🤙
I also started wit the Oxelo 540. Within 4 weeks I changed to Carver trucks on Oxelo board. Now 6 months later have a completely new Carver setup. But I did like the fact that Oxelo got me going and got me to 85% of the efficiency and 100% of the learning.
I recently bought a Filipe Toledo 77 surfskate board to improve my surfing and your videos will help me a lot, thank you so much! Greetings from the Canary Islands 🤙
Have been snowboarding for ages as regular, started to surf and I’m naturally comfortable with goof stance. Don’t want to change stance to regular, surfskate was really helpful to work on arms and placing/ pushing from back foot on the back wheels. Still a lot of work, currently loving how Carver Proteus rides on CX trucks. Great stuff Kale, love your drive!
I have the same issue, I surf goofy but skate regular 🤷♂️. I can't workout why.. Sucks because I really want one of these skateboards
@@tukuhuirama2871 what surf break you’ve learned on? I think I screwed up my stance because I was learning on left hander and it was easier to learn to surf facing the wave rather being back to it 🤷🏻♂️
@@aler8910ye lefty break Raglan NZ, I try and hit the beaches here cos my backhand skills are terrible lol
@@tukuhuirama2871 ah nice! I’ve learned at Muriwai haha. Yeah, skate really helps to work with hands to guide, compress and release body. If can’t get the whole board, maybe trucks on a wider (peralta like) skateboard should work!
@@aler8910 haha true not far at all, okay ye I'll look into that cheers bro
Hey, Kale, great tutorial. Thank you. One question... Do you drive with your back foot? I'm so afraid of the board slipping out from under me... it's happened 3x since I started on Saturday. Thanks, again, mate.
I finally got my Smoothstar here in the US and after just two skate sessions I can tell this is a game changer for my surfing. Thanks for the amazing content, I can’t wait to learn more
Hi, how did you get Smoothstar in the States? Could you tell us where you purchased it from? Thank you
Hey, yeah I ordered it off of the AU website. It shipped out the same day and got here in like a week
@@haleytruslow7200 Thank you kindly.
Thanks Kale. I love your tutorials! With this one though I'm having some difficult translating it to my goofy brain. Can you show some goofy students next time?
Muito bom obrigado = très bien Merci
HEY! This course is "the best", I'm Brazilian, I found this world of surfskate and I'm never going to leave it again! I use national skateboards manufactured here in Brazil like those from Ballon and Chico's because it is very expensive and difficult to find equipment here in Brazil and these national models are fantastic.... I recommend the course but I leave a suggestion here, respond more often In the comments on the course, I had questions about putting together the cone diagrams for training and I still haven't received an answer!
my favourite surf skate (smoothe star) is the 32'' flying fish(;
Hey Kale have you tried a double king pin truck? Thinking it would be pretty close. What do you think?
Hii thanks a lot for your videos, they’re really helpful! 🙏🏼 I have a question for you, I hope you can give me some advise. When I surf I’m regular, but I’m goofy when I skate. Can’t explain it, I just really can’t skate regular. So I was wondering if skating with the other foot in the front really helps me in the waves because obviously all the mouvements are in the other direction. Should I persist and try to skate regular or is it still helpful if I’m skating goofy?
good
What size board do you use? Love your videos by the way.
I wonder if pushing mongo is actually BETTER for surf training? You plant the back foot first when you pop up right?
Going shopping
Yow Skalle 34 Christenson + Smoothstar Toledo 77 ( for everyday ride I use Yow, but for skatepark I want to try more of Smoothstar (i m not there yet ;)))
Just my obligatory “would you ever get into foiling?” comment
Love all the tips! Simply practicing with a surf skate has helped me carve and generate speed on a wave with a longboard and reeeeeeeally ride it like never before. I’m trying to apply it to shortboard but don’t really have the best waves for it.
Haha I tried briefly and didn’t like
@@KalesBroccoli Just chiming in here, that's genuinely too bad. I live inland close to a lake, but picked up surfskating to help me with my foiling. Would love to see you on a foil sometime!
I've broken my ankle badly using surf skate. Doing a uturn. Sergery, hard wear, up to long recovery now.
Yaya Margie's skate park 🤙
Hey Kale! Thanks for the video I'm really looking forward to the series!
I recently started training on a surfskate and realized that I am regular when skating and goofy when surfing. I don't think it is an issue per se but I'm wondering whether I'll be able to apply surf skate progress on my surfing if I have a different position in both. Do you have any insights or advice on the matter? Thanks a lot !!
You’ll need to commit to goofy on both
(Harder to change surfing)
Since most of the turning action comes from the front truck, how much tension (or lack of) should the rear truck have? Too much combined motion of both trucks together would make it that much more difficult for an absolute beginner with little or no skateboard experience to learn the basics of balance!
could i use a cruiser board or will it have some restrictions ?
Hello Kale, I really admire the setup you have. What is the name and specs of the deck, the trucks and wheels you have on the the board that you’re riding in this video. Also where is the skate park you’re at in the beginning of the tutorial. I just put together an Arbor Foundation Series deck with Paris V3 180/50 longboard trucks, Orangatang Durian wheels with Jehu bearings. Thank you for the informative video.
SmoothStar 🤙🏽
are these exactly the same speed generation movements for surfing a wave? What differences are there if any?
Do you think I could start with a carver ?
I like carver CX7
How do you recommend to set the distance between cones? I am practicing it for the past few sessions and feel like it is just killing my speed all the time.
Cx trucks with orangutan purple knuckle bushings is very surfing feeling, more like carving on a poinbreak, also allows you to make long bottom turns with steady speed. I'm not a big fan of snappy turns on concrete. I have a toledo 77, doesn't feel as natural and flowy as my CX
Does surfskating properly carry the trained ability to the water?
Kale,
Have you ever tried a ripstick? It reminds me greatly of surfing. I’m curious if you think it’s similar.
Not close to surfing really!
Great easily digestible content with perfect delivery. Well done! Subscribing for more.
This is one of the few tutorials that I have seen separate backside and frontside speedflow, with extension full through the opposite side of the turn, rather than extension only to the middle “inflection” point. This makes the most sense to me for translation to surfing but seems to limit speed generation on flat ground. Curious if you see a place for the more common compressing on each side of the turn (ie. combining frontside and backside flow together)? I’m coming from a place of having very limited surfing access so would prefer to practice techniques that won’t screw me up when I do hit the water. Thanks!
Not idea to compress back and forth doesn’t translate well to ocean
Thanks for confirming! Just watched your episode #3 and it covered just how erratic most surfakate surf “training” routines are. These 2 videos have really helped fill the gaps for me. Pure GOLD! As I get more reps under me I’ll look more into your complete surfskate program. Cheers!
Can a regular skateboard be used in the same manner to generate speed? I purchased a skateboard to work on my surfing, but speed generation seems difficult at best.
Kale are you riding the 33 or 34 inch? It's a brilliant board 👌
Love the digging dirt approach!
I believe 33 !
Hey Kale!
Love the tutorial. Just a question, I'm a beginner surfer and snowboarder and doing it regular.
But in surfskate, I am goofy. Have you met this case already? Do you think it will still improve my surf or do I have to swap in surfskate or surf?
Swap your surf skating to natural :)
@@KalesBroccoli feel like I have been wrong in surf all along. Gonna give it a try next time in goofy in surf, because I'm really doing great in surfskate! (your tutorials help a lot thanks!)
Hello Kale
I see some 8” cones from Amazon - is that too big ; yours look a bit smaller 🙏
What surfskate are you using?
Do you know if SmoothStars are available in the US. If not, what else would be a good option?
Use the link in description and just select international shipping from Australia
Hey Mate, I have been looking into getting one of these and stumbled on your video. I notice your local. Would love to come along to a workshop if you're doing any around town. Going to have a look today down the mainstream if any of the surf shops have them.
I move around a lot kalebrock.com.au/surf :)
@@KalesBroccoli Yes, I see that now. Ha, I'm in Margs.
Ps I bought the Smoothstar manta and loving it.
Hey kale! Where abouts is that little pump track skatepark in the video?
