| 298287 | 16537 | Learning to accept that you don't rip | 96 | Bruce Fowler | Nov 26, 2023 | 2023-11-26T18:29:13-0500 | I'm not Australian, but I think there is waaaay too much attention to noseriding and all the antics connected with being up front. Grant it, it has its place but it shouldn't be the whole context of why you ride a longboard. If you look at the fluid connecting of turns & cutbacks, drop knee turns, on rail ala Phil Edwrads, Midget Farrelly, Mike Hynson, Nat Young, Dora, Barry Kanaiapuni, Jay Riddle, early day Bobby Patterson, Cooper, Peck and others..... there was a far more pleasing balance and relationship to harmonzing while surfing a wave than when we got OCD w/Nuuhiwa's up front antics........ even tho his weighting & unweighting w/feline grace was both beautiful & impressive. Billy Hamilton's cutbacks, Cowboy Henderson's parallel stance shuffles....... |
