Struggling to get past small whitewater waves on a longboard? The “push through” technique helps you use your board’s speed and flotation to drive under the foam—without losing momentum or control.

This move is key to making it out the back more smoothly on bigger boards.

Struggling with your take-off often comes down to small habits you haven’t noticed—like using your knees or looking down. Identifying these patterns early and watching your footage in slow motion can help you fix them faster.

Improving your take-off is the first step toward unlocking better, longer rides.

Downsizing too early can slow your progress. Bigger boards give you more wave opportunities, better balance, and time to build solid fundamentals. Stick with the right equipment to accelerate your learning and avoid bad habits.

Choosing the right board isn’t about ego—it’s about setting yourself up for success in every session.

What is your bottom contour on your surfboard?

Your bottom contour affects how water flows, which impacts speed, lift, and control. Flat, concave, or convex designs all behave differently in the water.

Your top turn isn’t just about throwing your board—it’s about positioning, timing, and flow.
 To really nail a top turn, you need to compress at the right time, rotate your head and shoulders, and shift your weight to the back foot to release the fins. If you rush or hesitate, you’ll lose power or miss the wave.

It’s one of the most rewarding moves in surfing—and one of the trickiest to master.

Just completed Barefoots Surf Camp in Nicaragua last week. I am not one to book organized trips, I usually try and figure things out on my own. But I could not have been happier I committed to this one. It was amazing! The beaches were beautiful and the waves were great. The accommodations were beautiful as well. We had a huge open air living room/dining room area with an infinity pool that we all loved. The breakfasts were incredible every morning with fresh fruit, banana bread, eggs, smoothies, sausage and more. The coaching team showed us fun restaurants in town, and spent time getting to know us all as a group. You could tell they were passionate about surfing and about sharing their passion with us. They were a great team, fun and energetic. They were just as excited as we were about all of our successes on the waves. They partnered with wonderful local Nicaraguan coaches that made our experience in their beautiful country even more authentic as we got to know them throughout the week. The instruction with video analysis was unbeatable. I learned so much, and saw huge gains in my surfing. There was so much I loved about this trip. So go ahead and book your trip with Barefoot soon! You won’t regret it.
