Agreed, not a fan of the "pump" and i dont do it myself but plenty of other good stuff in there... You should just be happy i'm not panning modern longboarding
Fark some of you boys must surf heaps better then what I thought....
Not a big fan of the chop hop but the turns are awesome.
I think... It's Brazil's first world champ in an Old clip. 2010 titles at Makaha maybe.
And Andy IMO modern longboarding is trying to hard to look cool in the carpark, choosing biatds on look and then boating in and just standing there doing **** all. hardly even resembles surfing... more like a fashion parade..
A HP longboard is as close to a 5'11 if your my weight so why not treat like one and bash the lip,you can aways trim but trimming is for guys who can't turn or are not strong enough,lack skill and all that
That chop was basically saying cope take,tucks into a barrel on the shore and steps off on the beach,outstanding wave riding.
I love all forms of longboarding,some of us are built like tanks and have little chance of hanging 5
No glide, different turning circle, completely different drop in and entry point. Completky different placement of turns and generating speed.
And I'd ike to see you get 60 odd liters into a surfable 5"11..
For me It's a worn out excuse, I don't complain about being light and having to turn a 9ftr so walking a biard is no different if you are heavier, 99% technique and practice...
Taylor Jensen is well over 100kg and has one how many titles? Tyler Hatz??? Bexon,.
SP said.. But why would you want to? It's a longboard.
If you wanna surf like a short boarder then Ride a shortie. They do it 1000times better.
That 906 is the same as a 9' for someone of 70kg.
Why because I can
If I was 70 kgs Id be right into that nose riding capper
Best to ask Lacey I can't and don't really want to see myself riding a wave,it could make me give up
look only the extreme top end can make a long board do short but why.
boys I got into that 6'dhd switch blade which is light,responsive, fast and well everything else is moderate comparing.
to say a 9.06 is like a short board is saying i've lost the plot in my twenties. no contest if ya talking carves, turns, speed and stuff.
by nature lb are meant of slower weaker waves the travel better at slower speeds generally speaking.
nose riding is fun and fills the gaps and if ive been turning out a lot of shortboard sessions and dwing and im tired its good to surf and rest but give me pumping fun beachies on my shorty any day
