- I flew to El Salvador just to ride this? The Carver Surf Skate Wave Ramp is has been on my bucket list for years and the location couldn't be more ideal. Seeing that they offered advanced surf skate classes, I signed up for one to really make the most of my time there. Instructor Stanley Perez from Puro Surf breaks down 10 things you can do to make sure you are making the most out of your body mechanics and riding.
I'm an average board rider out of North Florida who loves surfing, skating and being stoked on the small stuff. This channel is documenting my journey as a better rider and sharing what I learn along the way. I also do tons of awesome travel vlogs and interview people in the industry who share a similar stoke for life. If that sounds like a path you may be on, consider pressing the subscribe button!

One of the best vids I’ve seen on applying surfskating to surfing!
Thank you very much sir!
61 years old and have surfed since i was 10. Took a 40 year break from skating but saw the surf skate and started again. I love carving bowls and skate parks when the surf is flat. Love you channel and your stoke. You get what it is about and it’s awesome you are pimpin’ stoke.
You’re an inspiration Derrel! I hope I can be as active as you at that age. I love the freedom that the surf skate gives. The generated speed just creates such unique lines in the environment. Thanks for being rad and I really appreciate the support 👊🏼
57 myself and similar. I lost interest in skating when it went to narrow boards, tiny wheels that didn't roll, and lost any connection to surfing.
I used to go everywhere with an '80s Alva pool board. I would tic tac to generate speed without pushing. It was a lot like surfing around town, which is what I wanted.
I respected what the new school of skating was doing in the '90s but I no longer had any connection to it.
I have bought and sold longboard skates. They always disappointed me. I bombed a big bill road once or twice, but it was a busy road with lots of blind driveways, so I quit quickly due to the genuine risk of death.
Surfskating has really rekindled my interest, both in playing asphalt with bigger soft wheels, and now, messing around in transitions on my latest build (which is why I'm watching this).
Huh? All skateboards are surf skate boards. Especially if you grew up in the seventies...
Surf skate is all about that back shoulder pump. That open shoulder feeling is definitely different from everything we have learned in skating. But that back shoulder pump really gets the flow of the surf skate flow.
I like the phrase, "actively getting low."
You did an awesome job explaining everything. Always enjoy your narratives. Stay Rad Sir.
Definitely feels like a whole different world. Now that I see the difference it’s hard for me to go back to a more skate style stance. Glad to hear the information was well received! The actively getting low is definitely one of the things I need to work on with flexibility. Thanks for tuning in, have safe travels 🤙🏼
Awesome vid. Other hand, ey? Gotta try that too! What bugs me as a beginner surfskate bowl carver is how we do these crazy things with our arms and shit… then you see a streetskater zooming through the bowl with hardly moving his body at all?! I know bowls are different than these “surf” ramps but tbh I always thought those exaggerated arm movements weren’t nescessary on a skateboard. My surf teacher in France said a surf board is much heavier to manoeuvre in the water, so you need that whole body movement but surfskaters just look silly! 😂 Long story short: This is the first video that brought across the point of surfskate for surf training. Well done buddy, thanks for sharing! 🤙🏻
Totally hear where you are coming from! I think that’s one of the things that stopped me from progressing much sooner. I saw my board doing the motions and making it happen so I assumed I was getting the full value of the practice. I also used to laugh at the over exaggerated movements but now seeing the benefits, I guess I’m going to be one of the silly looking ones myself haha. Thanks for taking the time to comment, glad you enjoyed the video!!
*You boys are ripping!* 🔥
Super fun session!
My gosh I want to try that thing! I gotta work on opening up the shoulders and leading with my eyes way more. I also have to build a surf skate haha!
The setup was perfect! I’d go back and forth between the pool and skating haha. I think you’d really like a surf skate. They make longer ones that you could use as a mid length trainer. Maybe something in the 34-38” range. Let me know how it goes!
Love it bro, I need to get some chalk to start drawing out lines!
For sure! I was watching some other videos of people using chalk and some of them will use different colors as indicators for different speed sections or personal reminders. The limits are pretty endless
Right on man!
I can't wait to see the coconut bowl.
Yeww thanks dude. That bowl is a gem 💎
@@WorkForAvocados have fun down there and keep us posted.
Definitely have to try out that back hand forward thing the next time I get out! Thanks for sharing this!
It’s crazy how much of a different plane it puts you in to operate out of. Really feels like from that position, every pump and movement makes a huge difference. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching! The new upload schedule begins Oct 30 with videos now releasing every Sunday morning. If you found any of this information useful or you have some other suggestions/techniques, please leave a comment below!
great content!
Really glad you found it helpful 🤙🏼
The video is worth watching again and again - every time I learn something new. Thanks so much for sharing.
That really means a lot to hear, thank you for that!
Great video. Fun time!
Yewww absolutely! Plenty more of the trip on the way
I've noticed when I started to surf skate my surfing progressed, but this thing you mentioned about leading with the back end just melted my brain. Also the slashing of the hand coming down. Will definitively try those soon. Thanks for the pointers!
It really makes you feel like you’re making the most of every movement when you do it that way. Still things I’m working on myself but total game changer. Glad you enjoyed it and found it useful, thank you!
Awesome job editing!
Many many hours 😵💫😵💫
goofy footed here thanks for the tip, for the right hand lead
Yo Bruce!!glad the tip worked for you. Hope it’s helping you with your skating. Thanks for the watch and the comment
Amazing video and explanation of things that seems obvious but are not.
Thank you for the comment. It does seem pretty obvious once you know, but man was I in the dark for the longest time before he showed me!
Great video! That place looks like a dream. I surf skate everyday because I live on the Gulf coast of FL. It's a sanity saver.
You guys have it even tougher than we do in NE Florida! Would love to do some more skate trips out that way. Any where you’d recommend for a surf skate? Thanks for watching
@@WorkForAvocados I’m in Pinellas county. The best non skate park spots consist of two causeways. Both have endless banks that you can kick-turn until you’re kicked out because you’ve lost track of time from having such a good time.😄 My go to spot lately has been Fred Howard Park beach causeway. ✌🏼
Awesome, I’ll definitely check that out thanks for sharing!!
@@WorkForAvocados Sure man.✌🏼
@@WorkForAvocados Oh yeah, that second spot is Courtney Campbell causeway. This is the one you’ll get the most out of.
So freaking crucial to pivot with the leading arm!!, thanks sssooooo much
It’s one thing I need to remind myself about again and again, but it’s a world of difference!
Wow, gonna train that back hand !
Man, love your channel. Ive been following for a year or so for goofy surfskating. Keep it up.
Thanks for the comment Eric! It means a lot that there are people like yourself who have been following along. Crazy to think about. Happy skating dude
Dude, you’re epic! This is Mason from Sea Oaks right around the corner from you. Love your videos. Yeww
Yo what’s up neighbor!! Appreciate the support man, you go to stone too right?
Super cool! Looking forward to the regular uploads. Something I’ve noticed, and you touched upon it, was how some surfskaters approach surfaces very vertically. I even remember in one of your previous vids you talked about parallel/carved approach. Of course, people are free to express themselves however they’d like. For me, I don’t really see my surfskating style as particularly applicable to my surfing, outside of generally improved balance and conditioning. When I’m in the water, I’m always on a barge. I could surf a bathtub fart on the thing 🤣✌️.
Awesome point. I should have clarified a little more , this was from a short boarders perspective looking to maximize training efforts. I equally enjoy sitting out on a tank some days and letting the wave do all the work. Thanks for watching dude! Always appreciate the support
Bathtub 🛁 💨 fart. Died. 😂💀
amazing video broda!thanks for sharing!
Thank you!! More on the way
Awsome brow, nice video, rich lessons...
Appreciate it, glad you found it useful!!
Nice one mate, just getting into surfskate. This is inspiring
This was really cool. Thanks for sharing legend!!!!
Happy to see you and your channel progress! Keep on rolling!
I appreciate it! Thank you
Bro really did look like he was surfing on concrete.
Great video, great vibes and great tips.
I especially liked the throw leading hand up part.
keep rippin!
I wish I could have gotten a second lesson from him! Glad you enjoyed the video, still working on a few of those things myself. Thanks for watching 🤙🏼
This is gold! Stanley is a great trainer
He’s awesome, hoping to go back for another lesson one day
I'd love to go here. How do I get info on this place?
Watching the pros technique helped me alot and your explanation!
Awesome to hear. For me it was seeing his clips of him in the water and his technique on a board were just seamless between each other. Hope that your journey is going well, appreciate the comment
My frontside cutback was sticky and your analysis is just what I needed. Got to practice it and this was the missing ingredient to my infinity loop. Way stoked! Thanks!
thank you so much for that video! helped me out a lot
Yeww thank you, stoked to hear it!
Sick! Love the short clip of you frowning and putting the camera down when you saw the footage😂 great touch because we’ve all been there👍🏻
😂😂 didn’t have to dig very far for inspiration on that acting scene . Too close to home! Thanks for watching dude!
@@WorkForAvocados hilarious 😂
Thanks for an AWESOME inspirational video! As a new surfskater this info is great to get from the jump so 🙏 thank you
Stoked to hear it was helpful for you Carsten! I wish I didn't have so many bad habits that I had to break. Good luck on your journey! I've got some other tutorial videos that you may find useful
Great vid and thanks for sharing!!!! We definitely need some of those style bowls all over our skate parks. Keep those cool vids coming!
🤙🏄🌊
Yeww thanks for checking out the new video dude. I would kill for one of these in the SE. fingers crossed one day. They did just build a massive snake run a few hours from where I live though so that could be the next thing. Stay stoked!
This is very timely for me. You explained a few things here-simply-that helped me with my stance, allowing me to FS slash better. Thanks!
Awesome! Nothing like a good frontside slide grind. Favorite trick for sure
Nice progression here man!
Okay, my mind is kind of blown and I definitely put this place and coach on my list!
In the meantime, I will practice from watching your video. Thanks for sharing
It’s an amazing area for skating! There are a few other bowls in the area as well. Glad you could learn from it 👍🏼
awesome video! it’s great to see a another surfskater skate the same park as me
Thanks dude! It’d be cool to eventually have enough people to do surf skate meet ups. Would love to do an event like that one day. See ya out there 🤙🏼
Surfed on and off since the mid 70's, couple of years ago got back into it again . Went to a wave pool to brush uo on take off mainly. Being 63 not so supple so while I was there lot if guys bombing around on skateboards. Anyway food out there are surfskate now and cant wait to get one and start sorting out my bad habbits. Your video is on the top of my saved list for an excellent reference, luckily lived on skateboards when we were kids so really looking forward to putting those basic drills into use. Top shelf stuff cheers Martyn UK.
Hey Martyn, thank you for the comment! I’m stoked to hear that you’re still charging the concrete and the water. Super inspirational. I find surf skating to be far safer than other styles of skating I’ve pursued. Maybe it’s the ambiguity of a run vs tricks. All the best to you sir
Yeah not into dropping into big bowls but would smaller half pipes etc ago. And not to proud to wear all the safety gear. wear a rugby scrum cap when I surf which is good not banging my head. Also being a big bloke and with the scrum cap on I've been told I look a bit intimidating so dint get many guys dropping in on me. Haha. Thanks for reply.
I keep coming back to this. Thanks.
it helps all around and remind me the proper postures
All about that kinetic chain! Glad you liked it
Wow such a great video for someone like me starting out. Correct that bad technique before it becomes engrained.
Thank you so much Drew! Glad to help you get a speed boost on your journey, best of lucj
Good video brother!
Thanks Cam!
Wow. Such an informative video thank you for your investment and sharing this with us. This was awesome.
Right on man! Makes me happy to hear so many people are able to improve their riding through Stanley’s lessons. Looking forward to seeing your progress on Instagram!
@@WorkForAvocados yes sir!!!!!!
Bro, I have the Exact Same Skateboard, Powell Peralta with Independent trucks, Ricta Cloud Wheels...Got it for $30 on Facebook, I couldn't believe it.....One of my favorite now
thanks for sharing your experience and introduction of this cool surf hotel!
Pure stoke I love it. Goofy footer riding dropknee on my bodyboard and regular skating. Surprisingly ride both sup surf. That surfbowl is fire and alot of good tips. *SUBBED* 💯👍
Yeww right on dude! Been loving the bodyboard lately. Stoked you got value for the video, appreciate the sub!!
Awesome video and I definitely learned something new! Just picked up my first yow. Gonna try some of these tips! Much love from Pensacola✌️❤️
Stoked you could get something from the video! Congratulations on the new board. Keep us updated!
Epic video🤙very useful, I will definitely try to focus more on technique
Thanks Shannon, have you noticed any improvement in implanting these techniques? Best of luck!
Super useful
Glad it could help! What was the most helpful part for you?
Sweet vid . just learning. very detailed and helpful. Thanks brother.
Thanks for the comment dude, I'm stoked to hear that you got some good information out of it. Happy riding
Wow really helpful
Yeww! Glad you could get some good value from it
Loved this, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Depois que adquiri o meu surfskate ..... O surf ficou fluido
Very helpful info!
I been riding my Carver for day. Style and body mechanics depends on the person. Like there's no specific direction you need to hold your palms in? I took my board down to da Venice Skatepark today and carved the hell out of everything I could. I honestly didn't feel any real advantage as far as carving goes. My regular set-ups seem to have the same carving abilities, just with a slightly different feel. I will say they are good for generating speed without putting your foot down, I was easily able to s-turn my way down most of the Boardwalk. It's a fun ride. But they do have their limit's...
holy crap great video and tips. having the pro was super helpful too! I'm not sure you saved much money over the amount of concrete that was there tho XD
I think bringing the back arm around helps the overall rotation but also drives weight off the back leg so it's a bit looser. That one skid @5:07 was sick
You can’t beat one on one instruction! Great point on the back arm thing. That makes a lot of sense. He may have mentioned something like that but I’m not quite fluent! Glad you got value from this video, thanks for being a part of the community 🤙🏼
This was very helpful!
Awesome! I’m glad it provided value for you
So much good stuff here! Thanx bro
uff thanks for sharing! 🙏
Great video 👏🤯
Also using my leading hand the wrong way for 2 years 🙄
Thanks 🙏
Glad it could help!
Thanks
First one ever!! Thank you so much
No worries brother! There's loads of value in this vid! Much appreciated
That's a ramp? The alley behind my house is nicely concaved, like this ramp. Last time I checked waves come in all sizes. This would be like 1 foot or less surf...best spot I've seen so far for Carvers is the snakerun in Venice.
@@tonyn5055 sometimes the best spots are the natural ones we discover on our own!
@@WorkForAvocados 100% agreed. I do the majority of my skating out on the streets. I've always had a sidewalk surfing style. No matter what kind of board I ride. 10-15 years ago kids kinda laughed at my style, it was unique to them. To us older guys it's more natural feeling, because most of us rode them like surfboards way back when we learned. I had taken a 15 year break and didn't realize kids didn't skate like that anymore... But I stuck with the style anyway, on regular boards. I just purchased a small Carver Surfrider yesterday and am headed out to really test it. And have some fun. I had no problem adjusting to it yesterday and carved anything I could, and tested how long I could generate s-turns and keep the board moving without pushing with my foot. Endless once I got it going. I think it's perfect for sidewalk surfing. I wouldn't trade my regular set up for one, but why not add one to the collection. Can't hurt.
stoked
THANK YOU
Something that helps me open up to make better frontside turns is to pretend I’m holding two big heavy bags of groceries so make better use of my arms and chest
Interesting ! I’ll have to give that a try, thanks for the advice
Cool video man. I’ve seen a lot surfers on SurfSkates and though they may have, “great techniques”, their styles always turn me off. The best surfers don’t look like surfers when they surf, they hide all the same necessary arm movements and positioning mentioned here, the same way the best skaters do. I think the instructor, or I hope, is exaggerating for the purpose of demonstration. Otherwise, I’d say take your skate style and just mildly adapt the points of divergence between the approach in skating and in surfing. 🤙
Great point. I think sometimes we need to be thrown into an extreme end of something to notice what the exact opposite would be and scale it back from there!
@@WorkForAvocados yea, you already have the board skills and more style than the guy teaching you. Adapt the techniques to suit your needs without compromising what you already know.
I wish I could convert what you and him were doing to regular stance. I cant figure it out even though its the opposite side.
Surf skating is different. You gotta face hips forward , get your back arm out front, and look where you want to go .
damn this place is awesome, sign me up!
So cool! Do you know how long is that wave ramp?
Yew!!
Waiting on that next swell while the temp drops 😬
what an awesome tip about the arms! Does he make any reccomendations for surf skate setups for trainers, e.g. a preference for type of trucks or board shapes? asking as a short boarder
That one was my favorite! Made so much sense and explained a lot. Honestly that is something that we didn’t touch on at all. His board was pretty chipped and beaten up too so I couldn’t even tell you what kind of deck it was. I assume it was some version of a Carver though
Is there anymore video on this with training from this surfer
I don’t believe he has his own , but if you are ever in El Salvador check him out at Puro Surf!
Is Puro Surf the resort where that surf skate wave is in the video or is the concrete wave somewhere else. I went to his Instagram and I don't see any info on Puro Surf
Was that the full warmup or could you do a separate vid if poss?
There were a few other exercises and drills I didn’t include because I didn’t want to give away Stanley’s entire program. Best of luck!
what type of trucks are you using?
In this I’m using the Carver C5s
IS THAT THE CX OR THE C5? AND WHAT SIZE WHEELS?
🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻
What more do you need? 🇸🇻 🫓
Thanks
Drew, I'm sorry Im just seeing this. Thank you so much for your donation. It means a lot that these videos are helping people so much. All the best on your riding, Stay stoked my friend.
