That\u2019s not to say the ocean is more forgiving than the pavement but you would be surprised as to how easily you will be able to pick up surfing with a little skating background. Let me elaborate\u2026 Many aspects of skating, whether you\u2019re used to cruising the boardwalk, showing off your tricks at the skate park or it\u2019s just your form of transportation, translate to surfing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The first being balance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Your \u201cfooting\u201d or \u201cstance\u201d is most often the same as on a surfboard. Whether you are goofy footed or regular you will probably resort to the same foot placement on a surfboard that you do on a skateboard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The next being weight distribution.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">On a skateboard the way you distribute your weight to the front or back of your board affects your speed and motion. Leaning forwards, backwards, side to side effects the movement of the board.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And lastly, the vibes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Skaters and surfers carry a similar cool vibe with them wherever they go. There is a certain \u201cpizzazz\u201d to what they do and they know it. Maybe it\u2019s the shaggy hair flip or just the confidence of knowing they\u2019re doing something not everyone can do. Regardless, surfers and skaters carry a certain aura with them wherever they go.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Types of skateboard we would recommend:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Surfstick by CarveUSA:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This board rides similar to a high<span class=\"Apple-style-span\" style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\"> performance short board.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0<span class=\"Apple-style-span\">Apex 37 by Original Skateboards:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This board rides similar to a performance fish or a micro short board.<\/p>\n<p>Photo by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@sampapers?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Sam Trotman<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/skateboarding?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trade that skateboard in for a surfboard!!
