How To Pop Up on a Longboard with @SurfingwithBen

 

I really like this foamy board design by @SurfingwithBen and I think you'll like it too. The top deck has a mellow stylish vibe and the contrasting bottom is totally physchidelqic and win-win combination! If you are a beginner surfer that wants instant style points then you should go give one a try!

The Physics of Noseriding - The Math Adds Up!

 

Here's a clever film about the physics of longboard surfing. Don't worry there's no test at the end, and it's fun to watch, so let's get to it...


The noseride is one of surfing’s peak moments: part fluid dynamics, part magic. But how does noseriding actually work? What makes this suspension between sea and sky even possible? The Physics of Noseriding explores the question through the eyes of Namaala, a young surfer whose people were flying on the water before the world even knew what surfing was. Her curiosity invites us to examine the sensation of levitation that unfolds as wave, surfboard and surfer come together for surfing’s fluid dance. Written and directed by Lauren L. Hill. Director of Photography: Jai Anderson. Starring: Namaala Slabb. Supporting surfers: Belinda Baggs, Ari Browne, Leah Dawson, Lauren L. Hill, Rosie Jaffurs, Lola Mignot, Josie Prendergast, Matt Cuddihy, Elise Trigger, Crystal Thornburg-Homcy, Dave Rastovich, Crystal Dzigas and Kelis Kaleopaʻa.

No pro surfers here today...


Sometimes it is worth watching a few surfers that might not be up to your level, just as a humble reminder about how far you have come... Oh and the water is a chilly 57 degrees (that's like ice water). So with that in mind here you go! check this out: 

There isn't one pro surfer in todays surf episode. Filmed 5-8-2024 I headed to the beach today after checking the reports and seeing that we had fun surf. The waves were not epic but did have enough to give the local crew a fun time. Thanks for watching. I'm Brad Jacobson and I'll sea ya on the sand.
