good stuff

Thanks that helped

Awesome!

The bottom turn is everything

Awesome guide! Thank you!!

From Peru waves !!! Excellent and clear ! Good Vibes !! Thank you !

Thank you for this ... really helped

Noel- So cool that you are taking the time to do these vids. Can’t figure out who is dumb enough to give “payment optional” instruction a thumbs down. It was also nice to meet you at BSR in the summer. Keep up the good work!

Thanks bro!!

That was one of the best communicated surf tutorials around. On ya mate

This is how to properly explain it. Thank you! Very detail and informative.

These tutorials help so much. Once I get a carver I’m definitely subscribing to the patreon for more. Thank you!

Amazing tutorials!

Love the carver skate practice drills. Keep them coming buddy!

Great surfing + surfskating

The mirroring is a really cool idea 👍

well done well done

great tutorial, very well explained; thanks Noel!

Really Well explained and efficient explanations, 0 bullshit, love it thanks

Great as always

Very good video and flow! Thank you for showing some goofy movements, that very useful!

Thanks you !! Nice tuto !🤙

Best explenation I have ever seen, ill work it out on my carver tomorrow! I figured out why i couldnt snap so hard, I compress and reach and hold but my arm never went back before going up to snap.

My break is left cant wait for backdide speed snaps

How much are we pressing down on the tail to sort of lift the nose up and create radical movement? Should the front wheels be coming off the ground to simulate a more radical turn in the water?

New to your videos, you surf really well. Your recovery when sliding down on foamball after tailslide snap looks just like Kellys! haha

I’m walking around my house practicing coiling my back hand on my bottom turns. I feel like this is the equivalent of people who pretend to swing golf clubs with their hands while catching up with Karl by the water cooler

Dude Noel your awesome! Were about to get another run of good surf down in south florida. Ended up getting a Happy with some Kolohe Fins. It feels great to be back on a short board! YEWWW

It’s great to repost vids bc as I’ve gotten much better on the skateboard I can now revisit these concepts an hit them on slopes that I am practicing on.

Are you riding the 33.75" Carver Yago or 30.75"?

There's no need to pay for exclusive content. Australians are giving it for free.

THIS IS GREAT

Wow, same solid style on the Carver as he has in the sea. Well done sir!

Great video. I love how you break things down in and out of the water! Really well done. Curious what size board you're riding in the video, including volume?

G U R U 🤙

How good is this

Looks like Slater in the water.

Looks like I'm asking for a speed carver for Christmas

This guys surfing Frontside regular and goofy like its natural..ambidextrous surfing.!

Love your tutorials, they're helping me so much to understand the movement patterns. And that you show a surf skate drill to practice on land is awesome (especially because you also explain how to set up the cones). A big thank you for this!

Hey man, any plans to review the glazer by Rob Machado?

Yea Noel! Surfskate really does make a different when in between travels, so good maintaine the moves. I know you get alot questions about boards and compare. Maybe a diffrent one: I want to know, whats your top 1 boards ever, in each category? Maybe 2 :) I know you do favorites for each year, but fun to know your all-time best. Cheers / Karl

Noel looks like Slater when he surfs. Makes you wonder what would’ve happened if these two met at their prime.

Super awesome videos! However I am looking on buying a carver, and I notice that you use C7 trucks rather than cx trucks. Do C7 trucks replicate shortboarding better?

absolutely true ! Training with the carver is really essential to impress the movements well before catch the waves. Thx!!

Awesome video. Been watching all your content the past few weeks. I am an intermediate surfer who's a digital nomad so I travel all over the world. Looking for a one board quiver (travel board) suggestion. I am 6'1" 155-160lbs. Intermediate. Obviously with a one board quiver I am looking for something for small waves, big waves, fast wave, mushy waves, choppy waves, etc. What would be your recommendation? Cheers!

When o hit the lip on a speed snap I feel like i get stuck up on the lip ory rail dogs while coming down... Would I need to kick with the back leg more?

Good tutorial.. just can't figure out how much to pump do I pump too much

Hello Noel! Why are you stopped using TRACE surf tracker? I would like to buy it used. Is it possible to use it these days? Can't find App for iPhone in AppStore

Usually when I come out if a cut back I loose speed and can’t stay on :( any tips?

"lets do it again for you goofyfooters" **proceeds to ride switch like it's no big deal**

Hi Noel sorry if you've been asked but have you tried a smoothstar surf skate? I've ridden Carver for years but leaving towards getting a smoothstar as appear to be a better surf trainer?

People these days are bypassing the fundamentals and the soul of surfing just to do snaps.

Just curious, does that guy use larger than average volume boards?

u certainly know how to rip Noel!!

C7 vs CX trucks???

make carver discounts on patreon, smart move😉

Looked like Kelly slater for a sec

You actually surf better goofy.

1:58

Hey Noel I always have a tendency to look at my spray if you will every time I do a turn and I often find myself coming unbalanced any tips to fix this? Cheers

Noel it's a great vid but you're not explaining correctly. You're only mentioning the upper body as controling the movement. Yet the upper and lower work in sync. You need the wind up of the upper but if you don't switch weight on from back foot to weight off you won't get the snap. You need to mention the weight on off offa the back foot and the timing. Otherwise you'll leave intermediates frustrated.

Hoping bs coming soon

Lmao seriously

Believe it or not, this might be the most important post you'll read Everyone of us has broken God's moral law, the Ten Commandments. We have all lied, stolen, hated and lusted. And James 2:10 states that breaking one of the Commandments makes us guilty of breaking them all. Problem is, we can never outweigh our sins through good works because the Creator is perfect in Holiness, meaning His standard is far above ours. And He is also perfect in Justice, meaning not a single sin will go unpunished. And the punishment of sin is being cast into hell, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth with no end. Ever. Fortunately, God is also perfect in love, so 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ left His throne in Heaven and came to this earth as a man. He lived a perfect, sinless life and He so loved us, that He took the punishment of our sin, when He suffered horribly on the cross. Isaiah 53 tells us that his face was marred beyond recognition and that he suffered more than any man. But right before His death, Jesus said "It is finished" meaning the the debt for our sins was paid in full. But on the 3rd day, Jesus conquered death and He was resurrected. So that means now, we can go free from the wrath of God's judgment not by earning it, but rather as a free gift of grace, if you accept Jesus. But, a gift can either accepted or rejected. So if you want to accept the free gift or forgiveness, of grace, and of salvation, this is what you should do: Humbly admit to God that you have sinned against Him, and through gratitude in the sacrifice of His Son, repent (turn away) from your old sinful ways. Then, confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, your Savior. Believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross, was buried, and was resurrected 3 days later. Roman's 10:9 and 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 says that if you do this you are saved. I'm not telling you to get religious, because Christianity is not a religion, but a relationship with God. And the moment you do this, God will grant you a new heart, which does not take pleasure in sin and He will give you eternal life. Nothing on this earth even close to compares to what awaits believers. What you do with this information will determine where you will be for Eternity; meaning accepting Christ is the single most important decision you'll EVER make. And all of us here, believer or atheist, know that this is very true. Jesus Christ wants YOU to come to Him this very moment; don't even think about sleeping until you have accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior, because your tomorrow isn't guaranteed. You could die at any moment. Hebrews 9: 27 "It is appointed unto man once to die, but after this, the Judgment." All praise and honor to Jesus Christ, King of kings, Lord of lords.
