Learn How To Surf Skate

🌊 Ready to conquer your fear of surf skating? In this video, Woman and Waves will introduce you to the world of surf skating, a fantastic tool for improving your surfing skills. If you've never skateboarded before or are hesitant about surf skating, don't worry. Surf skating is different from skateboarding and can greatly benefit your surf skills. Learn the basics, get started, and have fun with surf skating.

Getting Acquainted with Surf Skates
Discover the key features of surf skates, including specialized trucks and wheels designed to emulate surfing movements. Understand why surf skates are essential for practicing surf drills.

Prioritize Safety
Safety is paramount, even in a controlled environment. Ensure you have the right protective gear, including helmets, elbow pads, knee pads, and wrist guards. Protecting yourself is key to building confidence.

Choosing Your Stance
Determine your surf skate stance – regular (left foot forward) or goofy (right foot forward). Align your stance with your surfing style for the best results. Use a simple test to find your natural foot placement.

Mounting Your Surf Skate
Step onto the surf skate safely. Always place your front foot first, covering the designated bolt for your stance. Your back foot should be positioned closer to the tail of the board.

Learning the Ropes with Support
Start with a friend's support to get comfortable on the surf skate. As you roll, maintain a relaxed posture with a gentle knee bend and constant awareness of your direction. Use your toes and heels to practice turning.

Building Confidence and Balance
Gradually transition from full support to gently pushing your friend from the hip. This allows them to experience the board's balance independently. Introduce turning with your shoulders to simulate surf movements.

Mastering Solo Pushing
Learn to push yourself on the surf skate independently. Place your weight entirely on the front foot while pushing with your back foot. Practice stability and avoid placing weight on the ground during pushes.

Have Fun and Progress
Enjoy the freedom of skating around, turning, and building your skills. These are fundamental surf skating skills. Once you've mastered the basics, you can work on generating your own speed and practicing surf maneuvers to enhance your surfing flow.

Choose the Right Surf Skate
Consider reputable brands like Carver, Yow, and Smoothstar that offer surf skates with front truck rotation. Consult with experts to ensure you select the right size based on your weight and height.
