Awesome explanations! Best tutorial I’ve seen yet, many thank 👍🙏🇬🇧
Wow! This is one of the best explanations of these maneuvers I’ve ever seen. I’m writing this comment and than popping on your “front side cross stepping” video cause I struggle quite a bit with that. Please keep on making these lol
Best explantation ever!! Thanks so much
Love the "real"-ness of the video, Tommy! Welcome to CA!
That has just dismantled my entire concept of how I thought nose riding worked - genius! It shows just how important it is to understand the ocean and the dynamics of wave generation/formation to improve the art of wave riding. Many thanks indeed.
Great Tips,cant wait to get out and try it on👍😊
Best explanations I have ever heard. Your examples with the specific visual demonstrations are so helpful. Now let’s see how I do. I will be back Oct. 30!
Super informative, can't wait to try some of these next time I go out.
This is one of the best explanations I have heard, I feel like so many things just clicked into place!
Great video, thanks! 🙏🤙🏼
So excited about this series, just what I need. So helpful. Awesome. Thanks
Very very helpful! Thank you very much Tommy!
Thanks! Just started riding longboard this season and enjoying the heck out of it. Your vids help. Had a great day out there today. :)
Thanks for putting this together. Super helpful and insightful and the real time examples are great!
Thanks so much for making this tutorial! Very helpfull and informative.
This was so epic!! This and Simply Surf’s physics explanations have helped me so much. Thank you!!!! 🤙🏼
Excellent. This is so excellent. Great explanation and the video clips help so much. Taking off into trim and going right to the nose (11:40) is something I will now certainly try with the types of waves I surf here instead of hesitating like I normally do. Thanks
Brilliant tutorial. Thank you!
Una de las mejores explicaciones del funcionamiento del Noseride y Cross Step, por lejos!. Muchos saludos desde Chile!
gracias, muy amable
Love this video! I'm at the point where I could cross step but not comfortable/skilled to stay in the critical part of the wave, and the only way for me to check was look behind me to see where the white water is (which is awkward and often by the time i checked it's already too late), so the feathering visual cue is definitely helpful
nice video man, thanks for sharing
Awesome work guys!!!
Thank you very much for the detailed and simple explaining contents
This is great instruction! Thank you! I have trouble being aware of all things one needs to be aware of while riding. There's no time for much thinking and observing. So, I guess this is my greatest difficulty in cross-stepping: I can't recognize the right moment to do it, and I end up just surfing without making a single step forward... Thank you very much for the videos and explanation. I think the sound in some of them is kind of low, but it works fine when I am using headphones. Aloha!
Sweet bro.. some good moves and tips
This is amazing!
Great tips...Thank you!
great video Tommy! This is my focus right now and you had some great tips. Just got a new board too so am psyched to try them out. Just need a bit of swell tho ....
Great video!
Great insights!
Awesome video! 🏄🏼♂️🤙
Epic tips, pura vida
Thanks a lot, hope I can do some of this one day...
very informative video. Thank you. - Currently learning cross steps and dreaming of hang 5 , Surfer from China :)
Great video! Super clear. Looking forward to the next vids in the series! When you talk about cross stepping - can you give some land or skateboard drills as well? Yew
There is one in part II and will be another in part III
Super helpful video! Such insightful info and great pointers on the small details I wouldn't have known. I was curious if you could discuss the ideal surfboard set up for nose riding (board size/type, fin size, fin type, fin placement, etc.)
Thank You!
This is on my list of things to do :)
Having a very busy time coaching here in Costa Rica but haven't forgotten this CZcams series :)
Thanks for this 🙏🏼 good to get into the bits and bolts!! I’m just starting to cross step now. I’m currently finding it way easier to cross step on a back hand wave though which I don’t really get
Perhaps when your front foot lands it is on the inside rail and your back foot is on the outside rail...helping you get into trim quickly backside but not frontside...That is pretty common
@@TenToesSurf very true!
The best video I have seen talking about noseride! Thank you Tommy! Please keep the good work uploading!
I notice that some of your clip you are riding the Cj Nelson board (I guess is sprout), so if you don’t mind can I ask your opinions about the model 「neo classic 」（the new model of classic)？
cause I have one for myself, but still love to hear you thought if using this model to noseride.
Appreciate your any answer!🤙🏾
From experience, I've only ridden the slasher and the sprout.
The thing I'm working on most with my longboarding right now is noseriding and that's why I chose the Sprout. The Slasher seemed to be more geared towards surfing from the tail.
The neo classic would appear to be an allrounder but (just from looking) seems suited towards point-breaks.
I would ensure you had a lot of surface area on your fin in order to noseride in the pocket :)
@@TenToesSurf thank you for your opinion Tommy! I will make sure I use the right fin🤙🏾
@@TenToesSurf I love the detailed instruction you give on this 3 part noseriding series. Really well done-Thank you ! I , too, also noted you are riding a CJ, and I presumed it was a sprout ( i have one too; riding it here in Cocoa Beach FL) . Are you on the 9'2 or 9'6?
@@22wer33 9'6 but feeling like I should've got the 10'0
Great explanation Tommy! Thanks so much. Problem I have is weight transference. As I go to lift my back foot up I tend to fall backwards and the board accelerates forwards. Do you have any tips for how to overcome this problem?
lead your feet with your hips, In episode 3 I outline how to overcome this :)
Great vid !!! Quick question: how do you know when to stall the board. Is it when you feel you are too far ahead of the wave ?
yeah, or even better before you get too far ahead of the wave
This is great timing. My cross step doesn’t need too much improvement, but setting up and finding the right waves has been an all day every day practice for a bit now. Is there a way I can send you footage for review to give me feedback?
yes, there is! check out our website tentoessurf.com
Thank You so much for clarity ! I am totally grateful. I have one more question if you could help clarify about the angling of the board regarding nose riding. I've seen some footage on the internet that some boards did not angle so much to the wave and yet they are still able to nose ride, do we need too worry about angling the board for noseriding ? Or less angling in softer waves for nose riding ? Appreciate f you could comment. THANK YOU 🙏❤❤❤
Really good question!
Nose riding in trim vs nose riding towards the beach
The former is preferred in a more traditional style of long boarding
The latter is usually utilised with more performance style nose riding where the boards used don't stay in trim as well and often helicopter when you try and nose ride in trim
Most of what we coach is centred around noseriding in trim
I hope that helps clarify :)
@@TenToesSurf Thanking you big time for the clarification 🙏 ❤❤❤
This video is great and will really help my noseriding (even though I've watched many videos on the topic). Thanks! Regarding the physics, you are confusing Newton's third law with Bernoulli's principle, and water is actually moving downward slightly on the leading face of the wave.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Bernoulli's principle came from hydrodynamics and was then used to explain flight. The pressure underneath an aircraft's wing is greater than pressure over it, creating lift at the right speed. A surfboard moving at speed planes on the surface. Water hydrodynamically lifts a surfboard with speed, which in turn creates higher pressure under the board so it planes on the surface.
Then the Coanda effect is the phenomenon when airr, or in this case running water, pulls curved subjects towards it. School science experiments use a spoon next to running water. When the spoon's outside curve is next to the water it is drawn towards the follow and gripped...the faster the flow of water the greater the attraction. If you flip the spoon it is repelled.
You can also flip your surfboard upside down and hit the bottom with running water...the parts of the rail that are rounded the water will stick to and the parts that are flat/knifey the water will spurt off.
sorry, the part about water being sent back and the board being sent forward? Yes, you're correct, Newton's third law. :)
Hi mate, quick question, what should she have done instead @10:45?
moved forwards through the fast part of the wave and stepped back to cutback at the soft part of the wave
So once your in the pocket, locked in, you can start to cross step. At first it will feel like the board could fall, right? Just wondering what I should looking out for when getting ready
Yes!
Then keep weight on the inside rail as you slowly move forward.
Don’t try and get to the nose straight away, practice getting one or two steps in then moving back first
@@TenToesSurf Thanks dude. Glad I’m starting on the right step 😂
can someone help me.......... is it possible to nose ride epoxy boards?
Absolutely!
Most of the videos of coach Tommy he is riding epoxy
I’m still waiting for the surfing gerbils
Not sure if everyone is experiencing this but the audio is highly muffled?
Sorry about that, this video is on my list to redo :)
If speed and rail friction created nose lift then you could nose ride on flat water. Unfortunately, you can't nose ride on flat water because you need tail roll acting like a spoiler that pushes down on the tail, thus lifting the nose of the board. Even the clips he showed where "no water was on the tail"... there was water well over the tails rear rail creating enough downward tail pressure and thus nose lift. Think he is right? Try nose riding with a reversed tail roll. It will pearl you every time.
Thank you
I'm actually going to redo this video as there are a few mistakes.
Newton's third law, coanda effect, and Bernoulli principle are still my favourites :)
Nar. Just try and put the board in the middle of the crest so your weight pushes the nose down enough to keep it moving forward. The board squashes the lip and submerges the board a bit. A little bit of nose flip on the board will make it more forgiving.
At least thats all I've ever done and it works.
sounds awesome, would love to see a vid if ever you get the chance
How does an English man become a surf instructor in coasta rica
I moved here 8yrs ago, started Ten Toes a little over 3yrs ago
Previously coached in Cornwall, Morocco, Sri Lanka, Australia
@@TenToesSurf amazing
Sound is super low, mate
this guy weighs what 120lbs wet ill bet that board weighs more than he dose weres the 300lb guys hanging 10 that would be something to see
i would watch that video
1. strangest comment we've ever received, congrats.
2. which guy? Tommy? He wishes haha
3. if this comment is sincere you could go and check out Justin Quintal and JJ Wessels for examples of bigger guys noseriding :)
