yep good luck.....im still struggling with cross stepping,i can surf switch(sorta kinda badly),yet that cs stuff just ****s me...i can go forward like a pro...still prefer to shuffle.
yet the the step back has almost killed me that many times its not funny. hang 5 easy peasy...both feet.
as they said volume is your friend

Cross stepping isn't the easiest I agree, especially heading back. I had wicked fun riding switch this morning, do it quite a bit snow boarding so it isn't too unnatural. I am yet to hang five with my left foot, leg rope is a tad too short for that one.

Good luck. Still the best feeling when you have nothing in front of you but water. Yew!!!

I got one yesterday! Was only quick but still had ten over. When I started heading back I slipped and fell right at the end haha

Hopefully a few more when I get a new mal in a few weeks! Also coming into surf season, hot offshore days with 3-4 feet lefts, could not be keener!

Hey Teacake,

Read this, couldn't find a link to the webpage - this is a microsoft word doc. Tom Wegener's thoughts on noseriders.

www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CC4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Ftomwegenersurfboards.com%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fplb%2520suctiong%2520%252B%2520tension.docx&ei=9W6ZUqHrK-nZigev8YCQCA&usg=AFQjCNFNVnEod5ujsi04T0KfRRxOAI7ANw

Once you get a good noseriding board Teacake you'll be able to get more extended noserides instead of running up and back so quick.

I will get a log soon just for those small fun days but then I will get a performance mal as well. It is a pain running to and fro all the time...

Happens too often! Can't say I have tried it on a sup though...
