Le surfeur se tient généralement allongé à plat ventre sur sa planche, les bras de part et d'autres. Il rame (comme en crawl) quand il repère une vague qu'il souhaite surfer afin d'acquérir une vitesse suffisante pour que la vague puisse l'emporter. Quand il sent la vague le soulever, il rame plus rapidement puis pousse avec ses mains, et s'appuie sur son bras droit (ou gauche) pour se redresser en avant dans la bonne direction. En même temps qu'il redresse son buste, sa jambe gauche (pour un regular) ou droite (pour un goofy) vient se placer devant et sa jambe droite (ou gauche) à l'arrière de la planche. Il adopte une posture penchée sur ses jambes fléchies. Une fois debout, les bras servent essentiellement à maintenir l'équilibre et aider à changer de direction. Les jambes jouent un rôle d'amortisseurs. On désigne généralement par regular un individu qui se tient sur la planche pied droit en arrière. Les personnes se tenant pied gauche en arrière sont appelés goofy. Le pied arrière est généralement le pied sur lequel on prend appel lorsqu'on saute. Un surfeur regular donc qui mettra son pied gauche a l'avant sera frontside (face à la vague) sur une droite (vague qui déroule du pic vers la droite quand on est debout sur la planche), le même surfeur regular sera backside sur une gauche (qui déroule de droite à gauche). Pour un goofie c'est l'inverse.

From Jaws to Mavericks, Puerto Escondido, Punta Lobos, Ghost Trees, Belharra, Shipstern Bluff and Todos Santos, these riders have set up a new scale in the definition of giant waves.
"Code Red" Full Movie - Surfing Goes Huge At Teahupoo Tahiti
On August 27, 2011, the Billabong Pro Tahiti event on surfing's World Tour was placed on hold due to a massive swell bearing down on the famed big-wave spot, Teahupoo. With forecasts calling for unprecedented surf, some of the greatest surfers in the world descended on the island to be in the water, despite a "Code Red" called by the Tahitian Coast Guard, which sought to keep everyone on shore. See the historic day through the eyes of two surfers -- the young gun Laurie Towner and the veteran Dylan Longbottom -- as they catch some of the biggest, most dangerous surf ever recorded, much of it captured with the super slow motion Phantom Camera for never-before-seen imagery.
Los Angeles is right in our backyard and we're happy to present our first video really featuring downtown LA. We really did not show the clean parts of downtown in this video but rather a very grungy, slightly dirty, and colorful arts district of LA with Ari ripping the Fattail. You may recognize Ari from the "Swirling Samas" video; he has a very unique dance style that is very entertaining to watch. What is impressive is that he can still bust out intricate footwork moves on a smaller, more sensitive board like the Fattail. Stoked to present this video to you all. It has a very "Sunny Side Up" feel with fast cuts of B-Roll on the beats. We focused on doing a lot of follow shots to create a dynamic vibe with lots of movement and action. I had fun playing around with city sound effects for this video. Adam S. killed it with the filming, and Ari jammed on his board.

Roadtrip in Spain with the Longboard Girls Crew / by Juan Rayos
In this last chapter we travel up north to Galicia’s Costa da Morte (coast of death), name given to the area in 1920 due to its treacherous rocky shores, full of cliffs and battered by brave storms. Land of massive green landscapes, filled with legends and tradition. The Art Surf Camp in Razo receives us, and we later join A Coruña local skaters for a day cruising.
[7 female riders, 1 van, 15 days, 4.300km, 416 GB of raw material… culminating in one video, divided into four chapters. The film documents the adventure of the trip, portraying the girls, their lifestyle and their passion for longboard.]
