The OPTIMAL Position for Noseriding Your Longboard
Discover the optimal position for noseriding by learning why staying in the critical section creates necessary lift and tail-anchoring force to prevent nose dives.
The art of stabilizing the board from the nose. Focuses on achieving the optimal sweet spot and using the fin for pivotal hold.
Discover the optimal position for noseriding by learning why staying in the critical section creates necessary lift and tail-anchoring force to prevent nose dives.
Master backhand noseriding by learning how to rotate your chest, adjust your gaze, and use the heel-side rail to position your longboard in the wave’s critical section.
Learn the fundamental two-part skill of noseriding: mastering wave positioning (the stall and fade) to get the board critical, and practicing the cross-step motion itself.
Master how to recognize the perfect nose ride section ahead of you and use the “threading the needle” approach to position your longboard for success.
Master the art of cross-stepping and noseriding on your longboard by learning essential wave positioning, setup maneuvers like the fade turn and stall, and proper footwork technique.
Master the two core factors for noseriding: perfect cross-step weight distribution and timing your hang ten for the steepest wave pocket.
Noseriding differs significantly by wave size: learn to stay high and angled on big waves versus getting low and critical on small waves for maximum stability and speed.
Master the four fundamentals of noseriding: optimal board/fin choice, high/low wave positioning, and the essential differences between hang five and hang ten.
Discover the two physics concepts (Apparent Flow & Coanda Effect) that provide stability for noseriding, and learn five methods to position yourself in the critical pocket.
Ben Considine gives a full POV demonstration of the longboard noseride, detailing what to look for on the wave, how to correct bad habits, and the timing needed to commit to the nose.
