Big thanks from Israel! Great lesson :)
Thanks so much!
Awesome!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you for the video; I am a beginner / intermediate surfer living away from the ocean so I bought a carver surf skate to help me train in land; I only had done roller blades, so a skate is totally new for me; I filmed myself on pumping and trying to make a bottom turn „following“ your tutorial, but clearly I am still afraid of leaning out of my center line.... so not too effective yet’ but your videos and book will help me progress in surf and surf skate; thank you; if you give lessons of surf skate close to Munich please organize a group class 😂
Thanks so much for your comment. If I ever be in munich I will let you know
Thank you for your great explanation!! from Korea :)

Well explained, need to use my carver board more
cool that you are motivated:)
Amazing tips, and you made it short.
Just went and practiced it on my surf skate, improved so much.
BIG LIKE.
Thanks. I’m a 48 year old getting back into skating. I have a Penny high line coming in January 2nd! I currently just have a landyachtz dinghy.
Cool to hear! Keep us posted about your progress.
How is that Dinghy? I like the maneuverability and speed on my Dinghy Turbo but I like the responsive, surfy feel of my YOW Kontiki which makes for the best carving, but well also the stable, straighter cruising of my Landyachtz Dropcats. I find the grace in each. Also, how is the Penny? My neighbor has one with big, squishier wheels that I liked riding.

You you, teacher! Nihao from China!)))

Thank you very much for your useful tutorial videos. Can't wait the next SURFSKATE BASICS #3 4 5 6 7 8...
Thanks soo much!
just discovered your channel. i love it, keep on going!
I'm also from Germany and will move to Aachen in September. Since I saw that you're from the cologne-area: Where do you go to surf? I need some kind of place to surf on a regular basis or I'll get crazy
I live most if the time in south france and south spain,Andalucía (winter time). So I am always close to the beach. You could check out langenfeld wave. Its a standing wave. Its still different to real surfing but its definitely something to check out. But I know a few surfer who go to netherlands or drive down to france for a long weekend.
@@surfcompanions7973 I didnt know about langenfeld wave, thats great! thank you. and yes, I'll probably try that france-netherland thing :)
nice life model, living in south france and south spain in winter time btw :D sounds very good to me
Great!👏👏👏👏
Thanks a lot!
Thanks, Now I can bottom turn!!!
Cool to hear!!;)
This is weird, trying to improve my surfskating and running into the dude that gave me my first surf lesson in France :)
Do you mean me;)
@@surfcompanions7973 no. she meant zinedine zidane
Outrun Easy ride, italian surfskate🇮🇹❤🔝
Great tutorial! It took me a while to realize that the arm reaching and the look are crossing. I was making the mistake to reach towards the point I was looking, to the side, not forward on a diagonal, so that would shift my weight and I would fall backwards. Reaching forward made all the difference.
So great to hear!!!!!thanks for your comment
@@surfcompanions7973 This comment just made me realize I might be surfing with wrong hand position the whole time.
I am a goofie, so my right foot is ahead. I always (no matter whether it was a right or left wave) used my right arm as leading arm - whereas I now suspect I should switch the leading arm depending on the direction of the wave (whether I am surfing my left which is natural and whether it is right, which is backside for me).
Is it true?? :) It might explain why backside waves were always easier for me

Going to buy a surfskate board now 😁👍
Cool to hear;)
Can you please release / offer 'The Intermediate Surf Companion' book in PDF form! That way you avoid the COVID-19 restrictions (such as with Australia).
we are sending again to Australia:) because of the "working with your book" concept, take notes etc.. we decided at the moment not to do a online version. By the way: The book is produced CO2 neutral and is printed on recycled paper.:) Thanks so much for your comment.
Hi Daniel! I would like to start skate a surfskate but I won t spend much money and have a good compromise. Which surfskate do you suggest me? Greetings from Italy
They are several brands but important is to look for a deck which allows you to have the same stance then in your surfing. I rather would invest a little more into quality instead of cheap. I love smoothstar which is my eyes the closest you can come into surfing, if you want to have the „cheap“ version pf smoothstar you could check out slide, but I am not a selling advisor. I can tell it only out of my experience;) hope I could help;)
Thanks so much for these videos, can you please let me know where I can get the Miller Division Kirra Surfskate 31.5 X 10, because everywhere I look online is sold out?
I think because of the high demand surfskates in general are low on stocks. But I don‘t know right now where,except , the internet you could find it. Support your local shop I would do and check skateshops and surfshops. They can also give you an answer for delivery times,that what i would do. ;)👌
@@surfcompanions7973 Cheers for your quick reply... yep, already thought of & done those things.
I did notice that on the Miller Division site, when you try to register to leave details for restock notifications, that it requires some sort of number (DNI)? Which when I looked it up is a Spanish thing, so I am assuming that Miller Division is based in Spain then?! (seems like a lot of mucking around to leave simple details to be notified)
If I were you I should also check carver surfskates. I love them! And any good skateshop should know and have them. They are a bit more pricy but worth every cent.I only speak from experience. ;)
@@surfcompanions7973 Hiya... cheers for the suggestion... I already have a Smoothstar 34″ FILIPE TOLEDO #77... I was just wanting something different, smaller with more traditional skate/cruiser trucks setup... I managed to find a Miller Division Kirra Surfskate 31.5 X 10 on Spain's Amazon.
Hallo from Germany!
Heey!! Nicee explanation!! From which book are those surfing drawings??
From our book!:) Just check out
surf-companions.com
:)
Thank you 3000!
:) your are welcome
Hey, do the book will usefull for someone like me who's learning to surfskate? Everything apply to it or a lot of it is only usefull for surfer?
The techniques what we show in the book is possible to transfer it on the surfskate, but all illustrations are for surfers;) but every surfskate tutorial I make is be a better surfer.
🙌🏻 👏🏼👏🏼🤙🏼
Can we get me details on the back hand bottom turn?
Mine's solid on the surfskate, but a mess in the water for some reason...
Hey Ka Nahn, the movement on the surfboard is the same as on the surfskate: Compress, Reach&hold.
In the water it feels of course a bit different,because every wave is different and if nature (the waves) are not allowing deep bottom turns it is also hard to train it. If you live on a fast barreling wave it is hard to work on a bottom turn,so maybe check the wave form and conditions if the waves allow it. Keep working with the word cues;) Let us know if it helped;) thanks for your comment;)
Oh wow this is gonna make my sharp turns easier in general
Great to hear;) if you like that video then you should check out my whole course:
surfcompanions.com/the-surfskate-course
Does a surfskate make sense when you already have a proper longboard pumping setup? It does look super fun, but surfspots in central europe are scarse and a surfskate is 200+€.
The techniques we show are possible on skate longboards, too but its harder to perform them. Its the same in surfing: if you surf a longboard but want to peform like you are on a shortboard. Its way harder. If I would be a „landlock“ surfer with less acces to real waves I would rather invest in a surfskate,because it will give you the closest feeling to real surfing. My opinion;) Ask a friend or in a skateshop to try one out than you feel the difference;) hope I could help;)
If you get a surf skate, every hill and slope is a wave
I wanna learn surf maneuvers on land with my Carver. My only dilemma is that I surf regular but skate goofy ☹️ I tried to skate with regular foot but it feels so so awkward like I'm gonna easily fall ☹️
Hey maria, some people switch on the skateboard. Don‘t worry;) just train on that side you feel most comfortable with. Safety first;) 🤙💪
Hey! When i tried to turn with my board i am actually fall down. I do no know why but i loose my orientation and find myself on the ground. Do i do something wrong? It feels like the board has too much turning when i lean to one side... :)
Hey and ach, yes if the trucks are too flexible it could be that you fall over. When you bend the trucks are your wheels touching the bottom side of the board?
Is the surf skate maybe also too small? Sometimes that could also be the reason
@@surfcompanions7973 No the wheels are not touching the board. And i guess the board dimensions is just ok for me. But i will try to squeeze the trucks a little bit. Like you said maybe they are too flexible right now. :)
Cool let us know if it worked:)

Great! Can you teach How to top turn now?
Work in progress yes!! ;)
Can you tell me the brand/model of your helmet?
If I remeber it right than I got it in decathlon. Cheers
I haven't been able to understand what is a bottom turn , then I realised it's a surf lingo and won't make sense on flat ground ...
Then when you explained it , it all made sense
Edit : obviously I haven't surfed before
Great to hear!

Hello Sir!! Whats ur surfboard brand?
Do you mean what surfskate brand or surfboard brand? I surf different surfboard brands but from now on only smoothstar surfskates.
@@surfcompanions7973 Thank you Sir..
@@layneaic2076 no worries!:)
I find it difficult to reach and hold the ground without losing my balance and falling off at the same time because the surfskate is not as stable as the more usual skateboard ... : ( I still have a long way to go before I can do this efficiently without thinking consciously.
During the ride you don‘t have to touch the ground. I showed it without the skateboard to give a feeling what reaching forward means;) compress,reach forward and hold. Let us know your progress;)
@@surfcompanions7973 Wow ... many thanks for your help. It's also about balance, coordination, and muscle memory. Practice makes perfect. I am looking forward to seeing more videos from you ^.^ Danke
Watching as I’m wanting to begin to surf skate but don’t plan to actually surf just want to do it on land:) lol
Cool if you like the video than you will love the whole surfskate course I developed: surfcompanionscoaching.com/the-surfskate-course
What if you are a light weight
Do you mean what surfskate to choose when you don‘t weight so much?
Omg. His wink 😉 I think I fell in love with him 😅
Thank you for your share, 非常感谢你的分享~\(≧▽≦)/~
You are welcome!
so actually you could put food on the floor and then you have to reach the food 😅
Nice visual thinking;)
SURFCOMPANIONS hahaha thank you 😂
You re very cute :)
he didn't do it
What do you mean with that?
th-cam.com/users/shortsaIFBBwys-Ss?feature=share
Would it be correct to say that the term bottom turn refers to a turn to the inside of one's stance, with the hand on the side of the rear foot reaching.. This would mean that the bottom and top turns are in the opposite direction for the goofy footer, like me. Can anyone let me know if this is the case?
