How to generate SPEED - 5 Proven Steps for Beginners and Intermediates

Hey guys! I am Manuel, a surfskate instructor and passionated surfer from Ericeira, Portugal.

In this video I want to share with you my 5 go-to tips, that helped my students a lot in generating speed on a surfskate. This technique will also help you to ride smoother, once you start integrating the upper and lower part of your body. Whether you're just starting or cruising at an intermediate level, these tips gonna lift your ride to the next level.

🌊 Step 1: "The Fishy Roll" Imagine your foot as a fish guiding your board through water. Start by gently moving your ankle up and down to kickstart that roll. Each move sets you on a course forward.

🏄‍♂️ Step 2: "Front Leg Power Play" Ready to ramp it up? Add your front leg to the mix, adding mass and force to your motion. Feel that energy transfer as your front leg pushes ahead. You're in for a smoother ride already!

🌟 Step 3: "Back Leg Timing Magic" Timing is everything. Add your back leg with a slight delay – syncing it with the front leg's push-pull action. As your front leg surges forward, the back leg gives that precise backward boost.

🌀 Step 4: "Whole Body, Whole Momentum" It's a full-body affair now. Engage your core, arms, and head by pointing them all toward your desired direction. Your body becomes a compass, steering you where you want to go. Feel the synergy of movement!

🔥 Step 5: "Knee Compression Thrive" Master the apex of every turn with this ninja move. Compress your knee toward the turn's peak and release that compression after the apex. It's like unleashing stored energy for a burst of speed.

These steps are your roadmap. From fishy rolls😂😂 to knee compression, we're dialing in the details for maximum momentum. If you're ready to revolutionize your ride, hit that like button, subscribe, and ring that bell. Let's ride smoother, faster, and together. Stay stoked, riders! 🤙🏄‍♂️
