Surf Your Best Ep. #1: How to Improve Your Surfing Style

Any yoga or martial arts guru will tell you: Relaxation in the lower limbs will come from relaxation in the upper body. The only place to work on this is in the water, and the best thing to break down upper body tension is this: Go get a big old longboard and teach yourself to cross-step. Not shuffle - but actually cross one foot over the other on the way up and down the board. A surfer whose upper body is tense will simply not be able to pull this off.
Nick Carroll breaks down the most common style problem in surfing -- and how to fix it.

What a great video tutorial! Perfectly composed and accompanied with images that exactly represent the message at the right time. Waves coming tomorrow. I cannot wait to put this to test! Thank you for the tip 🤙🏽

[@Fitandover40]

This series comes right at the perfect timing for me, it have not made sense before. Excellent articulation of the the unconscious process to keep progressing towards "conscious proficiency". Thanks a lot!

I've met many yoga teachers, no one told me: "relaxation in the lower limbs will come from relaxation in the upper body" although this is really an interesting tip.

Imagine thinking style is something that can be taught 🤡

[@dannynysus]

Imagine being so arrogant that you believe that you have nothing to learn... 🪵

Imagine believing it can’t 🤡

[@averagejoegrows]

yeah makes 0 sense you either have it dont.. i rather have one move than look like a brazzo and do backflips

[@nadavkatz5458]

of course it can... style is more seen as the better as your technic gets. when your technic improves so does your style IMO anyways

[@CLANK...]

For some, certain styles are natural, for others they work on it. But everyone learns subtle shifts/technoques to improve their performance and style. Griff colapinto is a good example. He's a huge Parko fan, so as he developed would apply subtle parko techniques and eventually surf just like a new age parko. So yeah mate, maybe get off your high horse and actually pay attention, might learn a thing or two
