I am trying to learn how to surf; I am able to catch a wave, and ride it on my knees. However when i try standing up on the board I always wipe-out because I am not sure what is the right point to start standing up, also if I manage to stand up the nose dips in the water and I wipe-out.

Does anyone have any tips, or for learning how to surf in general?

ive been skimboarding for a few years now started wood and now on polyeurethane.

im looking to get a new board now and i was reading about the Wombat which i think is a skimboard and body board in one…

sounds too good to be true doesnt one aspect of one sport take away from the ride quality of the other?

anyone with experience with this board, answers very appreciated, thanks!

I plan on buying some blank decks and painting them myself, but I’m not sure what kind of paint to use. I’ve worked a lot with acrylics and watercolors, but I’m pretty sure those would rub/rinse off with the abuse a skateboard gets. I’m mostly going to be using hard shapes with little blending. Do you think spray paint would work okay?

I am currently learning to snowboard and have been taught to travel down the slope doing linked turns.
I have noticed that many people use a different technique where they appear to go down the slope with their board vertical and they seem to ‘rock’ from edge to edge as opposed to doing complete linked turns.
What is this technique and how is it achieved?
