Can't wait to give drop knees another shot! Very helpful. I always wanted to hear you explain those drop knees where you really push the board out and straighten your back leg.
Omg Beno, I was literally just talking to my mate this morning about your drop-knee turns!!!!! So amazing to see this video! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! Keep on shredding! Yewwww 🤙
Haha no worries at all Dunja!! Hope you’ve been getting out in the water :) and glad you found this helpful, should give it a go in your next session! Yewww 🤙
Along with working with you, this is a great follow up on the drop knee turn, Ben! I appreciate your clarity and simple explanation. Looking forward to more and good luck in all your heats!
Thanks so much John, touched on a couple of things that we had gone into depth about in our session! Really glad you enjoyed, hope you guys got some good waves at the point the other day, and thanks heaps! Yewwww 🤙
Good stuff mate, your drop knees are buttery smooth so it's cool to hear what goes into it! The drop knee has always eluded me but excited to give your insight a try! Cheers
Thanks heaps Chris, hope it’s been useful and you’ve been able to get out there and try a couple since! Let me know how it goes would love to hear, yewww!!
Nailed my first decent drop knee cutback today thanks to this vid, thanks again bro you are killing it! I was putting back foot too far off the stringer, and trying to put all weight on back foot, but this vid showed the true way of keeping weight mostly forward and ball of back foot on the stringer!
So am I right that a drop knee turn is a three step procedure: 1. Angle the board with front foot across the stringer to begin the turn 2. Step back with toe in the middle of the board 3. Slowly place weight on the back toe Thanks 3. Slowly
hey garry! Yeah absolutely right, that's for the more beginning stages of the drop knee. There's more complexity with advanced drop knees in terms of arm position and tail kick but this here is a great place to start! I hope it is able to help your surfing! If you have any further questions at all or wanted more depth/clarity on anything please don't hesitate to message - email is longboardcoaching@outlook.com if you did :)
Hey Odin!! Have tried to add some more slo mo stuff to the recent vids - hope thats been helpful - I agree way better to give better examples of how things are done , yewww!

this is the second time I watch this video, and the question that rises is this: does it matter what foot is in the back to turn right or left? If I turn left, my backfoot may be the right, correct? From watching you surfing it seems that sometimes your back foot is the right and you turn left... what matters is turning your chest to the direction you want to go?
for beginners, get a board from local shaper(more expensive) or standard brands(torq/nsp/surftech)? Also should we go for noserider model or all rounders? Thanks a lot!
Great question that I may cover on tip time soon! I would say getting a board from a local shaper is always worthwhile as they know the area and conditions where you will be surfing, you can also tell them your level of competence which they can design the surfboard around! Although some of the surftech boards can also be a good place to start. I would definitely start with an all rounder model so you can get the benefit of learning how to position and turn the board correctly, as sometimes the noserider models can be super heavy and cumbersome which can make these aspects difficult. I hope that helps, please let me know if there's anything else you'd like to see or if I can clarify any further, yeewww!!!
Hi Ben, Does it help to place your back toes to either side of the stringer with the drop knee turn? Specifically, on the side of the board in the direction your turning? Some surfers raise their arms up when dropping a knee, like a ref's field goal gesture, is this overdoing the weight transfer? Thanks!
Hey mate I'm 69, fit, sailed dingies all my life and I'm committable on a SUP, what board do I get to surf, Foamie of 8 to 9 or what do you think is the best combination, will be surfing at Crescent Head.
