Surfing: Innovative longboarding?

Question

I've been surfing for 7 years and longboarding for 6 months, I am really good at it now and I'm trying to figure out some innovative stuff, I can cutback, floater, bottom turn, top turn, nose ride, hang 10 and it's only been 6 months, I really want to get some innovative stuff going though, I'm gonna enter an all longboarding contest on the east coast.

Answer 1

if you can do all those things on a long board, don't worry about innovation---work on consistency. if you enter ALL the longboard contests on the east coast, you'll win a good share with that bag of tricks. you'll be top 5 when easterns come around---h**l, you could probably take 1st or 2nd at ECSC. when you start entering all those contests, you'll have about a year under your belt---you'll be solid.

i only really know about surfing shortboard contests, but i'm pretty sure that riding the nose and hanging 10 are big point maneuvers for longboard contests.  

Answer 2

Just practice all those things in bigger more advanced waves. Also practice helicopters and fins first.

Answer 3
