Surfriding ***UPDATED*** To Barrel Roll or to not barrel roll- oceanside

[FearMyWrX]

Well, I am 100% new to surf riding and brought my ski down with me to Southern California where I am doing an internship. Linked up with a couple of the guys down here in oceanside and well here it goes.

Got the GoPro too so I can make the best of my time down here. This is where I am at. Frist video made so nothing too fancy!

Thanks to Jake Bright for the help and laughs.

Looks like a great start. YOU NEED FOOTHOLDS!!! LOL That should be a promo vid for anyone on the fence about putting hold in thinking they dont kneed them lol

 

[INDebtSJ]

A+++++ for trying! If you had hold you would have it.

 

[Kaup_921]

Sweet. Dude you need to get some footholds in that ski.

haha i tell myself im gonna do one everytime i go out! but always chicken out! respect for throwin it down! when i ride with you guys itll probably make me nut up and try it tho!:splatt:

Way to sack up and Huck it!

Great attempts!!!!!!!!! Get some footholds or straps (I am not a strap person) but better than nothing!!!!!!!!!!!

As you go up the wave, crank the bars, drop your left elbow and shoulders. Imagine your trying to look up under your ski.... The ski will follow. Basically lead with your head

"try to stayin, O you dont even have footholds haha" A for effort tho!:splatt:

 

[FearMyWrX]

haha thanks for the words guys. Yeah, I've got some Dakine Straps that I bought I just didn't know how I ride in the "surf" so I didn't know where to put them. That was my second time in the surf and attempted the rolls then because I also just put hood straps on.

I will put the straps on tonight and I THINK Im going riding this weekend. I will deff post my progress with video's. Hopefully Ill land a couple next time out.

Way to nut up and just go for it...I'd be scared chitless!

 

[special fx]

<<< foot holds aren't necesary, just easier.....Never used holds

 

[swapmeet]

Great attempt! I have holds and still chicken out. Keep it up,

 

[Wes K]

I am guessing the end of the video is Jake realizing you have no footholds and laughing
Good job going for it man!!!

 

[NVJAY775]

Yahhhhh! Congrats bro! Way to go for the throw down. Mr. Rolly coming soon I think.

u gotta big sack or small brains to try without footholds or straps . get your straps in and go a little bigger so you can complete you're rotation and you'll be set.

 

[harbor dan]

Wait... Kurt, is that u???

That is pretty much how my barrel roles go with my footholds, can't get past halfway. Hurts like a mother fu€ker sometimes.

 

[ntrsspray]

DuDe...you dont need foot holds...........keep tryin

 

[shaunsteezy]

chargin it! dont worry a couple more times in the surf and youll be rolling, especially with balls like that!
