Your best video yet. The time you've spent on research and instructionals really shows through. Having that experience distilled into some pointers and exercises that I can keep in mind for my next outing is really helpful. Thanks a ton!
Thanks so much, man! I really appreciate that. Glad you find it helpful.
Another great instructional. It takes courage to revisit and point out where the technique in previous videos could be improved on. Respect where it's due! 👍
Thank you! I have no pride. Just learning and having fun!
Wow the progress of these guys from total beginners. Awesome lesson! Great teacher.
Finally the video I've been searching for! You truly break everything down from stance and weight, to body posture and movements! A real coach! Can't wait to try these techniques! Thank you!
Honestly I've tried all tips and tricks from other videos but this one was definitely the most effective and dynamic!! Keep going mate, love your passion, we share it with you
Fantastic tutorial Steve! The feet stance opens up a whole new motion of the body. Thanks for sharing your surf skate voyage with us.
Thank you! And I'm having fun!
Needed this being that I just started, thanks for another great video!
This is awesome. I've been struggling to find the right flow and these were super helpful tips!
Definitely going to put this in action as soon as possible. Great video.
Wow, awesome video guys! Steve and Liberty, you guys did awesome!
Shane Lai and Kale Brock are excellent recommendations. I've learned a lot from their videos. This is great too, it's so easy to relate to. I see myself in these guys so much
Excellent video!! Thanks for speeding up my learning curve and correcting my technique. Legend!!
Gold medal for surfskate tutorial!!! Cheers from Italy!
It's a small comment in the video but leaning your back knee where you want to go (on turns) added a lot of stability to my turns. Solid video
One of the best Surfskate teaching video, Thank.
Got my first board, a slide, in today. Your videos are soooo helpful.
Steve, Thanks again for all your wonderful videos. I am enjoying them like crazy. Just started and watching videos. Yours are the best for me. They are helping me a lot. Good day..
Can't wait to try these tips!
Fantastic tutorial. Thank you so much. Really appreciate your teaching approach.
"Coffee Cup Arm" love it! Great tip. Awesome 🤙
I am late to the surfskate part.
Appreciate you sharing your lessons learned.
I just made a surf skate video and a lot of your awesome subscribers mentioned your channel to me to offer assistance. Very cool of them. Your community has some rad people in it.
Simply one of the most useful videos on yt and I still haven't seen it all!!!
Respect from Thailand. Thank you for great lessons.

That's a very good video dude, thank you for all these informations !
I'm about to try these
Love the coffee cup idea.
Just got into this fantastic sport, and this tutorial really got me the feeling thx so much for breaking this down so clearly.. i really progressed greatly due to this tutorial.. thx again..
Thanks for this tutorial from Thailand 🇹🇭
Wow, so much information, instruction & knowledge in one video, SUBSCRIBED!!! I'm 66, only had my surf skate one week, & having so much fun but so much to learn! You look so efficient when you skate, every scrap of energy is propelling you forward! Love how stoked you are too! :)
Thanks so much! Glad you find it helpful.
Same here. I am 65 y.y. lady in Calgary, Canada. I love the way Steve explains everything. I Thank S.S. for giving us the opportunity of enjoying life.
@@AlwaysHappy494 Haha, we are of similar vintage!!What board do you ride? :)
Ayyye forms looking good!. And the teaching is on point! Keep up the great work bud!!
I learn by watching you, my friend! 🙌
@@SurfskateLove pretty soon we'll be able to do a duos routine!! Keep on grinding buddy n ill do the same!
OH man! This video is amazing! I'm going to have to watch it again.... 20 times!!
Congratulations, Steve! Great improvement.
Thanks, man! 👊
I use the Kale Brock. It's great. Great vid🤙
Great video buddy!
It helps, as I started to do during the lock down and simply love it!
Thanks, Mark! Much appreciated.
Great tutorial Teacher. Thank you.
Very helpful vid. Riding with my feet at an angle has really helped me getting low on the board for long straight lines at speed particularly being quite tall. I have also found that Surfskating has really improved my balance/control for surfing and drop Knee bodyboarding. Loving it .
"MUST WATCH" video, I like the way you teach! it helps me to image and feel the movement while watching even I was at my dining table.
This makes me happy to hear! Thanks so much for sharing!
I'm just a begginer, starting from zero today, so I'm gonna try to put all this into practice. Thanks.
Huge improvement in performance and style, fantastic tutorial 10/10 !
Thank you! Much appreciated.
Dude, I watched this video and a few of your others, then went and bought a board. I accidentally ran into surf skate videos after looking for videos on longboard wheels which actually turned out to be a surfskate wheel. The best accident ever! I was able to pump all around a parking lot first time on my carver cx thanks to this video breakdown.
Nice breakdown of the biomechanics 👍
great video - thanks for sharing - it made a lot of sense
Great tutorial! I will try tomorrow
Well done! Fantastic job as usual :)
Eduardo, my friend, you’re the one who prompted my progress and this video! Thanks so much!
Dude I got to thank you a lot! I tried just the first tip about forward posture and something in my hip/knee clicked correctly! I've been having some issues with pain in these areas but just as I shifted my stance forward it felt like I've been even walking wrong! Thanks m8!
Thanks! I watched the Brock and Mills introductory videos couple months ago repeatedly and never quite got it. Your last video--even if due to oversimplification--quickly made SS fun finally. And thanks for the posture clarifications here, and taking the time to study and break it down for us. I'm excited to try it outside. I'm definitely sticking with this (and might even try the Brock and Mills programs now have a promising foundation)
Great to hear!
Perfeito instructional video!!! I love it.
Awesome learning videos, thank you!
Many thanks for these great videos, Steve. I haven't ridden a skateboard in years, but you inspired me to pick one up. The market is super tough right now, but I was able to import a Slide Gussie from Europe. Can't wait to get my hands on it and spend this summer learning how to surfskate~
This makes me so happy to hear! Every time I convert someone to surfskating, an angel gets its wings. 😁 You’ll love that Slide! Keep me posted on how it goes.
Very very useful stuff. Thank very much. More technique videos please.
Much easier to bail too... if you're facing forward more. Very helpful video!
This is an amazing tutorial, I subscribed after watching you VDO and I’ve been practicing follow your tips. Btw. I’m a beginner. This is helping me a lot from zero and still counting 😘 much love from Bangkok
Great to hear, Nicky! Check out surfskatingfornonsurfers.com
Very helpful, thank you 🙏
Bravo¡¡¡¡¡ you made a perfect compilation about the perfect satnce on a surfskate board. thanks for sharing GO on¡
Can’t wait to practise!
Thank you for this video🤝🙂
Hello Professor, Very good teaching demonstration, easy to understand and very useful. I will try to practice as good as Training Program. Thanks you so much, from Thailand.
Very interesting videos steve.... Very helpful and informative... 👍
Great to hear! Thank you!
great coach! nice lesson, this guy really know how to ride it
Nah. But I know some Poland dudes who do!
That is one great video Steve!!!
Bro, guys like you already know all this stuff. The rest of us are just trying to catch up. 😂
@@SurfskateLove haha one is never finished with learning ;)
And it’s always great to get other perspectives 🙌🏼
I basically took the same path you did, just 5 years ago already and having surfing in my history ^^
But even after all that time I still learned a lot from Cris and Kale - and you’re Video is one awesome summary!!
These videos are great man, I wish I lived near you all, there are no surfskaters in this town here in the UK, and the tarmac suuuuuuucks!!!
Love it ,Master
Great video! You’re a natural teacher. I’ve been surf skating for about a year and a half and find myself still learning better, more efficient ways to gain momentum and proper technique. For example, I just tried applying the techniques you showed in this video to my own and found carving on turns to be much easier, and I have more confidence going into them when I position my arms the way you show here. I think a large part of it is pulling your center of gravity closer to your body to spin faster, like a figure skater. Wide arms = slow spin. Narrow arms = fast spin. It allows you to carve in a smaller space for faster turn arounds. Arm placement is so important!
However, I do like to put my arm back just to change things up (and because it feels good... like cutting through the wind when coasting).
Always be learning!
Yes, I've been surprised by how much arms influence balance. I play around with it a lot.
Great improvement
this is awesome, thanks so much for this!
Thank you! You're welcome!
Fantastic video, thanks
Thank you Sir!!!🙏🏼
OK! I learned from your first vdo and now this feet stance is unlock the whole new world. Thank!
Yeah, right?
Love it! Thank you so much again and again. 🙏👍👍
You're so welcome! Thank you!
Love so much.
Thankyou.
Thanks for this tutorial greetings from Europe!!
You're welcome! Thank you!
This is fantastic. I used compression and extensions methods technique from you but most of thai tutorial will tell you that its mainly upper body movement which like you said it works but it’s not efficient.
Just started today. No background in skating whatsoever. The slight front-facing feet positioning really helped with stability when doing a pushing start :)
I’ve been using my surfskate loads to improve my forward facing drive and compression for surfing. 1 thing to work on outside of skate/surf is ankle strength and mobility so you can keep the back foot square and roll it over rather than turning foot forward. Lots of 1 footed kettle bell squats and pass across body as well as waking on an indoboard roller or pvc pipe. Think even Chris mills has a vid on pvc pipe balancing etc.
Loving the surfskate for just getting used to facing forward and driving low and compressing etc
Yes, increasing flexibility on all fronts is my number focus right now.
My first wonderful, handsome, super talented teacher 🔥🔥🔥
From Vietnamese student - where this subject is not really known to many people!!! Love it ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Best ลุงสอนดีมาก เล่นเป็น ภายใน1ชม เพราะคลิบก่อนหน้า มาปรับท่าที่คลิบนี้ต่อ 😂😂😂😂😂
Great tutorial. I notice your body looks more like a surfer too. Surf skate is really a full body workout.
Yep! Amazing exercise. I haven't been to the gym in months. I just skate an hour or two a day. 😀
Well done I learnt so much subscribed from abu dhabi
My man Steve brilliant Thanks
You're welcome! And thank you!
When you reach forward, throw that weight into it. Shifting your weight really fuels the pump. Thank you for these videos! I went out today for the first time and was carving all over the blacktop like I was surfing again. Thank you for your amazing guidance-I wore my Surfskate Love hat too 😁
Nice! Love it. 🙌
Hi Melissa, quick question, when you say throw that weight, do you mean before scoop, or after scoop? Struggling a bit with it at the moment. Not sure if the scooping or extension after scooping actually gives the forward mementum. Thanks a lot!
Okay, I will shut up after this comment😂… I commented on a couple of your previous videos. I saw a number of potential fixes, but I mostly commented on the lack of instruction on generating power backside (heel edge). I was about to recommend watching Kale Brock and Cris Mills, so I’m super glad you tapped into them on your own . They are both great. Kale really describes the generation of backside speed well with the “digging with a shovel” technique.
Yes, the surfing technique will make you look way better which may not matter at all, but it will certainly improve your overall surfskate ability too and that should not be underestimated. it also will be more transferrable to other board sports.
Glad to see you spreading the word of Kale and Cris. I also love OMBE, most of his tutorials are for surfing, but he uses surfskate training a lot, very helpful.
Excelente vídeo 😎 un saludo afectuoso desde Chile 🇨🇱🏞️
Thank you!
So I tried it and the advice with the arm as leading the balance is quite amazing. I just need practice but that’s good advice indeed.
Good to hear! It sure has made a huge difference for me.
In carving snowboarding, you hear the terms "plus" and "minus" position, relating to position of shoulders to board when looking down from above. So when you are doing a toe-side turn, you are in minus position (shoulders in line with board) and when doing a heel-side turn, you are in plus position (shoulders perpendicular to board), the twist thus induced, combined with the correctly timed knee bend, helping to set up the edge for carving.
I gotten so good with the back foot pumping that I'm able to pump without the front trucks on the ground, basically a manual while pumping. That was with normal technical skateboards, so i can't wait to get into these type of trucks and boards and the rail 2 rail action, because it's really not the same. I was pumping with stiff grommets doing a type of tap tap motion with the front wheels in a 45 degree angle between each front truck tap, if that makes sense. Once I saw your "cup method", I realized that I have been doing that years but not with these multi-dimensional trucks. Saving up for the Yow Meraki's to rock a lightweight 27 inch long "mini" sector 9 for quick start pumping for pump tracks and easy air time and small launches, and maybe some 360 micro grabs and I'll be happy. But the main reason I'm riding is so I can delivery food much faster in those high rise apartments where you have to walk 80 yards just to get to a persons door. I hate those apartments, but at least I can use people's codes to take advantage of their gyms and pools
Thank you!!
best video !!! I’m having such weird chopstick posture gotta fix it
Now that 2 guys from ep. 1 are pro now . I learn a lot from this vdo. Tks
Amazing.
Much MUCH better!
Awesome!! Bro, Thx a lot
Bravo ! Très bonne évolution. Bientôt sur un surf ?
you get better and better! awesome!! i take some of your moves to our next workshops. the coffee cup hand is easier to understand then our T-Rex hand ;)
I'm having fun, my friend!
Your technique is very good 🤝
I think a lot of surfers would disagree. 😂 But thank you!
That was great! Thank you very much! Kale Brocks “Ultimate Surfskate Tutorial” helped me a lot too, but my pump still looked awkward. This is going to help a lot! Are you a physical trainer or coach? You coach /teach like you are! I’m a swim coach so I can tell you’re awareness of the body and body mechanics is spot on! 👍🤙👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I appreciate that! I've been a basketball coach and a life coach but that's it. My awareness of my body came from surfskating.
At least, this makes you want to try. And I’ll try this tomorrow.
Niiice😍. Now I thinking about my technic, movement and mobility... Man, I have to much questions to myself after your lesson 😂 really good material Mr. Professor👏🏻
Bro, I watch you Polish dudes over there shredding, and you’re all much better than me!
@@SurfskateLove but U able perfect describe and teach, what we do in fact. If U hear us how we explain to each other what to do U'll be disappointed our knowledge and skills😂😂
@@matjaworski9960 To be honest, the teachers of the courses I’ve taken haven’t been great for me. I have to kind of figure things out myself and then find easier ways to teach them.
@@SurfskateLove You are on good way, cause I seriously started thinking about my technic. And what's mostly important I understand what U talking and showing to take the better position.
The way is U know what want to tell, because I see Your progress, so now U only have to share your experience in normal, understanding language.
Subcribed after this video. I am just learning how to pump and this has been eye-opening. Great work!!
BTW, do you think that better technique will make pumping easier on your thighs? Every time I finish a pump session, I feel like I finished a spin class.
What I find is that I trigger different muscles as I practice and change/improve my form. My back leg, particularly my calf, gets very tight.
I think it may just be your body getting used to it. Give it a few more weeks with daily practice and see how your body responds.
Hey Steve I enjoy your videos I just pulled the trigger on a YOW Pyzel I'm hope it's the one cheers...
Nice! You’re going to have a blast!
