What this video teaches
A foundational breakdown that walks through placement, the tail snap, and the front-foot slide in sequence, using barefoot demos to show weight distribution.
Key tips
- Back foot on the tail, front foot between the middle and the bolts
- Stand on the balls of both feet, weight toward the big toes
- Snap the tail down hard while jumping off the back foot
- Release pressure from the front foot so the board can rise
- Slide the front foot up to the nose as the board lifts
- Raise the back foot to level with the front at the peak
- Front foot near the bolts for control, near the middle for height
