Maybe an odd question but is there a difference in technique if you don't have a bowl to skate. My park only has ramp, like half a half pipe. Doesn't have a corner section to bank around.

I've been practicing and feel like my legs are too extended at the top of the turn, thinking maybe I'm trying to do too much compression and extension, watching this over it appears Ant is just gently bending that back knee to drop in and turn and I feel like I'm over compressing and then over extending and putting myself in impossible to make situations.

Good, went back today for my 2nd hour of practice. Trying to stack more over my front and lunge instead of squatting. Also trying to keep my coffee cup out in front. I was projecting more towards 11, rather than 10 o'clock today, not quite 12 yet but was getting an extra few inches of elevation on the extended upwards. Watching my videos from today I realize my left (trailing) hand was rolling down windows, so next time I'm taking a stick with me to work on that and keeping those hands leading.

Just was able to make my first 3 in a row of these today. Never skated a ramp/bowl before so it took a few attempts to make my first one without falling off. I will say kissing the knee made it feel more fluid and making the farting sound with my lips made it happen. Stoked to keep working at it. I used to skate goofy foot, am now learning natural stance since I surf that way, and my first time on anything with any elevation to it to work on compression and turning to hand off the coffee cup. EXCITED to keep working at it. Yeeewwww

Think I'm in this same boat. I stand on a skateboard and feel so much more balanced with my right foot forward. I've been trying to learn skating natural footed and it just feels sooo awkward to me. I do pop-up better into natural footed when surfing though... think I may have to train that pop-up to be goofy as well. Tried skating on a ramp today for first time and natural footed felt impossible well goofy footed felt much better.

What do we do if we have no bowl to skate?

Booked my 10 night stay at Turtle Bay on Oahu for next September. Now just to figure out how to surf MUCH better before the trip. So stoked to take my girls to Hawaii...yeeeewwww

Just took video of myself for the first time on the carver. While I don't have the poo man stance I am for sure a wiggler. I was really confused on what footed stance I would be as I surf regular and skate goofy. After watching the video I know finally realize I should be skating and surfing regular stance. It has taken me way longer than it should have to figure this out... for sure video yourself cause your perception is not always reality.

Very helpful video. Have watched this 3 times while I try to learn to switch from goofy to regular footed skating/surfing. Wish I had a bowl like this for the practice.

This is actually the most I've learned about surfboard shape.... unrated how helpful this is.
