Longboarders scare the shit outta me when it gets heavy.
thats a turtle roll not a duck dive
bail out
You should never deliberately let go of a long board. You could kill
somebody. It’s not just about your own safety you need to consider other
people too. If it’s too big for you go somewhere else and learn to do it
properly until you’re safe enough to be there.
thats how to eskimo roll………… not duck dive *facepalm*
dafuq? i need something for four/five foot wave crashing on your ass. does
this shit work?
But when it’s really big, nothing will help you.
You’re welcome, citizen!
Not quite correct
this shit might work on a fuckin 1 to 2 foot day anything bigger and your
fucked long boarders just ditch your shit it alot easier
ok, my bad, duh……. Ok, you are paddling out on your long board, you
find yourself in the pit of a wave about to break, slide off the board,
fins away from you, grab the nose so the tail faces the beach and hold onto
the nose as the wave crashes over you. This method, however will not work
on 15ft plus waves. In those instances take a deep breath, dump your board
and enjoy the underwater ride 🙂
i thought it was called a turtle roll
Thanks for your input but can you explain a bit further, how do you turn
the board around so the fins are to the wave? If you slide off the tail is
facing the beach. (assuming you are paddling out). Thanks.
Or dont ditch an get your face smashed in and posably knoked out buy your
board , thats smart….(not). big waves can have incredable amounts of
power, even if youve got strong arms a wave can easily rip your board from
your slipery rail grip.
I have to write this in 2 parts. No disrespect meant, and I am by no means
an expert, but I have been surfing long boards at Ocean Beach in Northern
California for years and can tell you first hand that this method will do
more harm than good in waves 10 feet or more, especially if you are in the
pit as the wave crests. I know this from trial and error.
So ditch it and then risk injuring an oncoming surfer ? Yeah that’s
smart… (Not)
if the wave is bigger than 5 feet there´s more danger trying to hold on to
the board than to let it go…catch it afterwards…
This shit wont work on a big day ditching your board might be the best
option but very risky it might hit another surfer
oops, sorry, 3 parts……….I have found the most effective method to
avoid being dragged backwards or flipped etc is as the wave is about to
come down on you, slide of the board, grab the nose and turn the board on
its side, fins away from you, tail to the wave, nose to the beach, and
tread water with your legs. Now you offer less surface, both body and board
to the water. But remember, the ocean has no limits, KNOW YOURS!

so far the best method i learned on my own is to dump the board and just
let the wave crash over you; after that, catch the board and paddle off
back to the line up…
it goes by both names i heard both! 🙂 hope you get some good wave
I sometimes bail off, turn the board nose facing the beach, flip the board
over so fins are up, grab where the leg rope is attached to the board and
pull down with the board under the wave. If you can’t hold on, let some of
the lead out or just let go….works most times…
I don’t know about you ladies and gents but I learned how to duck dive and
roll by actually going in the ocean and surfing. This may be good for a
reference, but I think the only way to really learn is to go out there and
do it yourself.
