Surfline TV: Trick Tips - Generating Speed

[Mrbiggerthanlife]

He is a beautiful surfer to watch. There aren't enough power surfers around, none of tat poncy trick surfing.

[MrJonny844]

WATTA A MEAT HEAD!

[OurTroopsRule]

So you go up and down to get speed?

[pmegyerdi]

@OurTroopsRule yeah suck your weight up to the top then while going back down to the bottom bend your your knees, (keep repeating untill have enough speed) once u learn this a whole new world of surfing opens up.

[ello717]

i think it it is easier creating speed fronside idk why i am goofy i have a 5-4 chemistry so im not bad at surfing or longboard but i hate facing the wave it just feels awkward

[Ripcurl4Life1]

@ello717 thats how i felt i just drop in an whatever sections not crumbling i just go for

[sanjak]

How can you do this when riding backside?? Please help! :)

[ochocino85boy]

@sanjak move your weight up and down by bending your knees, then extending.

[StolteJ]

its good thanks mick

[xohevx]

Can I do this with my 6,10 surfing board?

[NJproSURF]

@xohevx no

[stickybelvedere]

get out there and burn like fire ...yew!

[FallenKain]

Dude, generating speed frontside is easy, it's backside that challenges you.

[mattvsjohnny]

i learned tht to gain speed u wnt to pump the front of ur board up and down the water and u r still able to turn thts how i get speed

[extradutyfelt1]

turbo fanning..

[rockandpoll]

[Onbonsluvfer]

[pitted4lyf]

[mollylewislongboard]

mick fanning!

[DinosaurOps]

I didnt know spiderman could surf 0:26

[JMort95]

these videos are chill

[ropegreg]

Spongers suck!

[dallyson]

what the expert didnt touch on is that its more of letting the wave do its thing. when you pump up, youre essentially jumping and letting the wave bring your board back to the top of the wave, so your just flowing off the waves energy. i find, as simple as it sounds, that thats what surfing is all about, is using the natural energy and flow and how to shift your body weight to your advantage.

ps surfing sucks, dont try it

[dyeballer0012]

@dallyson ya no more kooks in the lineup please

[TheGreatCorneliuski]

After starting skateboarding at a new killer park and doing very good right away I thought I was going to pump waves much better after surfing for 25 years now. But instead I drew the same exact lines I would have otherwise and so nothing different happened. It's all about drawing the right lines and knowing how to handle them. If u ride high where it's steeper u accelerate more. If u stop cutting across (straighten out) you accelerate the most to the bottom. IF ur pumping the wave is too small

[stokular]

Is that Pinback playing in the beginning of the vid?

[OKAFORE]

mick would not be a mean drinker. he is a pro!

[marleySux]

this mofo can really surf

[allupinyourgrillxxx]

mick fanning scares me. i'd hate to piss him off when he's necked. which i hear is often.

[heroin2]

I agree, he seems to be one of the more harder looking surfers out there. I bet hes a mean drinker haha! Fucking pro's eh

[jordyboy056]

too be honest you can start off by keep pushing down on the tail (easier with shortboard) its called thrusting !!!!

[sbP144]

uhm, i don't surf with my right foot on the tail , the left one so -.- i stay on the same xD,

i have the same trackion pad as him xDD

[derigativ]

so do i

[c4t2f0]

HAHAHA....u goofy bastard!!!!!!!!JK.

[randommfilms]

how do you gain speed on your backhand?

[duood]

u do everything backwards lol

[sickwaveshredder]

lol, couldnt have said it better myself. 'nuff said.

[shwang69er]

Heel toe Heel toe will get you up and down the wave when you have got that down you can work it more and pull of crazy tricks as soon as i learn t that it all made sense

so Heel toe heel toe that easy

[MrLeeMrLee2]

hmmm that sounds like it will work ill give it a try thanks

[shwang69er]

no problem

[SmoothSkating]

i think its more about shifting your weight to the top of the wave and down again over and over using gravity to your advantage

[bennitocore]

what do you mean, in more detail?

[brodouglas]

@shwang69er should u put ur weight on ur back foot or front

[skateboard325]

@shwang69er Heel Toe Heel Toe Heel Toe Heel Toe Heel Toe Heel Toe Heel Toe Heel Toe Camel Toe Camel Toe Camel Toe Heel toe

[jakebra221]

@shwang69er i wil try that

[DaRd92]

not so difficult

[MrLeeMrLee2]

i wish i could do that, probs the best surf move out there

[blobbobash]

the correct position is what you feel most comfortable with.

[lovestospooge42]

this is quite hard to do i will admit but what most surfers do wrong in my opinion is not having their feet in the right positions one directly over the fins and the other right in the middle of the board hope that helps

[bababacardi]

Thanks man.

over the fins? in a three fin configuration you mean over the two or between the two and the single one

[killpaiman]

can you do this on a longboard

[dam0z]

You can't do anything on a longboard.

Lazy prick.

[theremoteholder]

probably the funniest truest thing i have read all day

[Sktebordkid]

@dam0z

Depends oon what size ur board is mane

[elderlyschool]

@dam0z i can i kick ass on longboard

[DinosaurOps]

@elderlyschool congradulations

[elderlyschool]

@DinosaurOps haha yeah but now a shortboarder and i suck wish i woulda learned on shortboard a long time ago

[kadend96]

[shelmer007]

just go out there and try it!!

and yes you can

[bababacardi]

yes, specially if is a modern longboard, 3 fins , concaves, narrow ..

[ausloverxo]

im no expert but what i do is get the block of wax snap it in half then wax useing the bit where they were joined together try to was in a circular motion from outside to inside

[xacrululu]

he just said 'just up and down'

great

[P0WER10]

LOL what else was Mick supposed to say? Watch his technique on the video, it speaks for itself.

[isurfvan]

i find backside easier...but it could very well be that my home break is a left. I mean i really dont kno...i mean im trippin...if anyone wants to kno where this point is, talk to me man...i pretty much live in the middle of no where...great surf. ecuador.

[duood]

yea its like with a shortboard u just throw your board around but backside ur throwing ur legs opposite way

[inwadd231]

what songg plz tell someone

[maryland218]

sick. but easier said than done, it takes alot of feel more than "you have to do this or that" haha

[machograpes]

very true

[xdam0zx]

Not really, he explained how to pump properly, watch when he's building up speed and you only need to do like 6 up-downs and you're flying.

[sdpadresfan]

cool vids.
