I'm not sure what is greater; Leo's incredible advice or his genuine humbleness although he's a beast!

[@whoaitsjape]

Pretty blown away by how good this video is! Your explanation was thorough, easy to follow, and really flowed effortlessly. Cheers, Leo.

[@leofioravanti]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@paaamm007]

Bottom turn tips!!!!

[@arthurM97]

Yeah, Leo! 🔥

[@mikesamouel4791]

I was in the skate park trying to figure it out, and stumbled upon your video, and I literally learned how to curve front side right after your video 🤙
Much love and respect ❤

[@hellogoodbye4894]

Subscribed! Thank you for making these videos! This is the kind of analysis from a pro i've been searching for for years.

[@joshuanabarrete2066]

You the best! Mahalo!

[@101alexv]

So good Leo! Frontside Snap/Re-entry would be sick to get your take on it.

[@a.lame.username.]

Excellent 🙏

[@NerieFlorent]

Thanks Leo for your comunicative good mood and for the quality of your advices !

[@leofioravanti]

Glad you like them!

[@Griffdoggshreddy]

[@docnslim]

Wow. That was pretty extensive and in depth. Will definitely tune in for more 🤙

[@leofioravanti]

Awesome, thank you!

[@ravingmad765]

How nice is it to hear him talk about his own thoughts on his surfing. True champions are humble.

[@dylanhamilton8241]

Thank you Leo. I really liked how you told us some more advanced carves once you improve on your normal ones! Defiantly going to try the tail drift carve!

[@leofioravanti]

Glad it was helpful!

[@YotamAbramson]

Just love how you explain everything! And in a very easy and simple way to understand.
You've got to make more videos like this one !

[@layneandrachelharrison1542]

Hi Leo, I only found this video now and was really hoping there would be more episodes. You did great explaining things so I hope you will make more of these in the future.

[@LucasRmy]

[@kevolab4356]

Hey, thanks Leonardo. Was watching you surf in ericeira last year from the beach. Love the way your surfing has 7:43 evolved. Top explanation on the top turn. Wishing you the best for 2023

[@frattsmarkfuentes961]

Pro Tips ❤ thanks for sharing

[@MojoP]

Just by chance came across this page - this is incredible - straight up instruction from Leo!!!! One of the worlds best 😳, def subscribed ✅
GRAZIE LEO!!!!!!!! 🤙

[@vantvu]

This is sweet! In future videos could you also talk about how you think about the pressure you apply to your feet? Back leg vs front leg, toe vs heel - etc? Also what you're looking for in the section? All the key FS and BS turns (cutbacks, re-entries, carves) and generating speed are what I'm interested in. Thanks!

[@philippemalvaux1196]

Super cool Léo ! 👏👏👏

[@RobCGilliam]

Shared via Threads my friend. Thank you for a lesson from the nicest guy on tour! Loved the piece of you and Gilmore surfing Italy a while back.

[@leofioravanti]

Glad you liked it!

[@francescods9921]

Complimenti a te Leo ed a chi ti aiuta nel far questi tips, sono veramente utili e c’è solo da ringraziare perché non tutti mettono a disposizione la propria esperienza per gli altri. Ottimi i consigli per quando non si è in acqua. Aspetto i prossimi!🤙🏻

[@leofioravanti]

Grazie Francesco mi fa davvero piacere sentire queste parole!

[@giovannis1629]

Ma perche' lo vedo solo ora questo video?? Grande Leo, ti aspettiamo a Manly :)

[@averygreene-o5n]

I was watching this video of Chris Ward and he was talking about using a RIKT to help him have more control. I think I'm going to buy one!

[@outdoorprimaladventures]

Numero 1

[@asabretonic9816]

You are a legend

[@arthurprandi5315]

Great vídeo.

[@robscanlan]

Thanks Leo!

[@matteodigregorio6965]

Ciao Leo! Grazie per il tutorial! Finalmente potremo seguire un po' di tuoi consigli. Interessante anche la parte degli allenamenti fuori dall'acqua e in palestra.
Facendo un passo indietro io sarei curioso di vedere un video sul take off avanzato, come farlo velocemente senza perdere l'equilibrio, senza arrivare troppo avanti sulla tavola o con le gambe troppo larghe( come spesso mi capita) e poi sul Bottom turn. che è un po' la base di tutte le manovre. Grazie mille e continua cosí!🤙🏽

[@andrewcannon8552]

So good!! Thank you

[@clayc1445]

Great breakdown of a powerhouse move. Leonardo rips it!

[@luismambrini18]

we're all waiting for a backside tutorial . great video on how to ..., keep them coming please!

[@venjaminaranguiz8613]

epicccc, one speifi in bottom turn should be amazing

[@TwinsTv-sx6zj]

Love it explained to deepth and simple to understand and implement next session! thanx so much Leo ! are you gonne do more of these tips ?

[@giuseppetaccini]

grande leo grazie!!

[@leofioravanti]

Prego!

[@jeanchristopheiacobazzi6951]

Uno dei migliori tuto sul frontside carve. Grande Leo 🤟

[@leofioravanti]

Grazie!

[@Padellone1]

Grande Leo!!! Grazie per il video!!! Nei prossimi video potresti parlarci del take off (la base) grazie ancora ciao a presto

[@pablofranciscodelamotatori9180]

Thanks for sharing this content Leonardo. Next time instead of trying watching the spray, I'll let my friends tell me about it after I rejoin them at the peak ;-) !

[@ewenmahevas3473]

nice one !!

[@leofioravanti]

Thanks!

[@maxmonterumisi]

Super bellissimo!!!!! E poi veramente tecnico e tosto.
Siete veramente ad un ultra-livello voi del WSL.😎
Grazie mille. 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Attendiamo il BS carve, cutback, layback....
Una sola richiesta, naturalmente se la ritieni ragionevole: onde perfette tu ne hai a tonnellate, noi qui...un pò meno...magari un ritaglio piccolo, con un esempio visivo, di come adattare le varie parti della manovra su mari...."meno performanti".
Ancora grazie.

[@leofioravanti]

Grazie Max!

[@nextofsearch]

Loved this video. Why not making more of this series?

[@PianoFAB95]

Merci pour tes bons conseils… je vais travailler ça la semaine prochaine aux Estagnots 😄🤙🏾 En attendant tout mon soutien pour le Pipe Master 💪🏾💪🏾😎🤙🏾

[@janah_2.0]

[@maxsurfoil]

Hey Leo, it's a very helpfull tutorial ! Can U do a video about the pumping also see u on the surfskate ?? 🤙🏄‍♂️

[@leofioravanti]

Thanks for the request! 👍🏻

[@gianmarcoscatizzi9952]

Grande Leo !! What about barrels for the next episode ?

[@ryanlowe988]

Thanks for the tips definitely need to work on getting lower 😉🤙🏼

[@luizarruda2873]

[@nicolomastronardi253]

Thanks Leo! Layback snap next time please. Spacca!

[@nirreubens12]

Great Video, Pls upload more how to videos

[@alberto0]

Bravo Leo. Nice one. Clear and easy to follow. Loved the variations and the idea of which gym exercise to help with it. I would love some inner super technical tips. E.g. rotating the front hand, pushing with back knee or stuff that is beyond the basic of the movement. I would love a bottom turn video talking about the different lines to take from the top of the wave.

[@leofioravanti]

Grazie Alberto! Magari possiamo pensare di fare degli approfondimenti per i più avanzati, grazie del commento!

[@mobilesuit2000ster]

Great video thanksi

[@leofioravanti]

Very welcome

[@edgarplnt]

love this kind of video

[@leofioravanti]

Thanks!!

[@paolobaragatti9718]

Sono un super principiante e ho iniziato a 40 suonati e 2 figli, ma seguirti è troppo gasante... Daje Leo!

[@leofioravanti]

Grande ! Non è mai troppo tardi, ci si diverte sempre 🤙🏼

[@janachs5905]

Very nice clip. Please more HOW TO.....

[@Theonda97]

Ciao leo! Grazie per il tutorial, davvero utilissimo
Un video che apprezzerei tanto sarebbe il take off perfetto e come migliorarlo da terra. Credo che un ottimo take off sia il 1° divariò tra un beginner e un intermedio; dove mettere le mani nel surf per spingersi, posizione e angolatura dei piedi, posizione e distanza delle gambe, quanto stare compressi. Personalmente ho notato che non so fare un gran take off, non per forza ma per tecnica, e devo aggiustare la posizione sull'onda perdendo tempo. Ti sarò grato se farai un video a riguardo!

[@leofioravanti]

Ciao! Grazie del commento, terrò sicuramente in considerazione il take off tra i video da fare in futuro!

[@samueldoeslife]

Great video Leo. Saw you at coxos on Saturday, ripping man. Would help I think to talk about arm position and foot placement on bottom turns to generate drive up the face before a top turn/carve.

[@xFUZiiONZx1]

Keep the surf pro tips series going! I think it is a space in TH-cam that is lacking

[@leofioravanti]

Thanks Andrew!

[@Andy_XT]

Grande Leo! Really well explained.
Any tips for a decent surf skate without spending a fortune?
