DYHere are 6 beginner tricks ranked easiest to hardest.
Comment ‘fundamentals’ and I’ll send you my free guide to building proper fundamentals.
This is the exact progression I teach my students to get to the 360. Every trick builds on the one before it.
1. Ollie in the flats. This is where it all starts. You’re learning proper alignment, how to create your own pop, and how to keep your upper and lower body working together.
2. Floater. This gets you comfortable at the top of the wave. You’re learning how to pivot off the top and get back into the push.
3. Chop hop. This combines the ollie and the floater. You’re creating your own pop off the top of the wave. It’s the bridge between tricks in the flat and tricks off the top!
4. Air. You’re using the wave to help you get air, but you’re also using the ollie to create your own pop off the top. You need the foundation from the first three tricks to control it.
5. Lipslide. This is where you learn to disconnect your fins using your hips. Your upper body stays aligned with the wave while your hips drive the tail towards the boat. This is the gateway to the 360.
6. 360. Everything you’ve built leads here. The pop from the ollie, the comfort at the top from the floater, the fin release from the lipslide. If you’ve followed the progression, the 360 becomes the natural next step.
If you build proper fundamentals, you can progress forever. 💪🏼
