SURFSKATE PROGRAM From Zero to Hero
Do you want to improve your surfing quicker or pick-up a new badass hobby? Surfskating might just be your new favorite thing! In this 7-step program, you’ll learn to surf on concrete; develop your techniques, correct your bad habits and posture, build muscle memory and unlock your maneuvers. You'll be mind-blown to realize how much this translates into your surfing.
Every time after watching a tutorial, you will need to put it all in practice. Some of the skills you might master in one day, others might take a week or more, depending on how fast you learn and how many hours you spend on the board. It helps to film yourself, so you can compare it with the footage of me doing the same thing, correct yourself and then try again until you’re happy with what you see (or how it feels).
***IMPORTANT: The tutorials are shown as a goofy footer. This means right foot in front, left foot in the back. For regular footers, everything is the same, but just mirrored. With surfskating you wanna have the same foot in front as when you surf.
I just wanna warn you that surfskating might be as addictive as surfing. You just wanna do one more round, and then one more… and one more… ;)
