I think you are underating yourself Mac.After seeing many waves you rode at the big A and doing very precise turns i might add,I think I'd rate you as an 8.5 to 9 easily

Always rode a short board quite competently, been riding a mal a lot last couple years...... why is noseriding so damn difficult, I seen the videos I've watched the good guys I read the brochure,,, I read the instructions and studied the manual....

I walk the board get near the nose and just ....... The most frustrating part is I've had two or three waves I got up there and stayed up there but just cannot replicate....... why??
do I not deserve it?
what have I done wrong???
how is it so hard??
am I trying too hard???
not hard enough??

Noseriding is one of the most frustrating things to learn as a old shortboarder who stills ride shortys

I was the king of shuffling for so long i was starting to laugh at myself that i couldn't break the habit.

Then it just happens ....sometimes
