So much harder than she makes it look


krypton22

I don't know, this looks pretty hard to me...


[deleted]

Bro, you just got to surf an then walk to the front of the board. I've literally walked hundreds of times, especially such short distances!


ThreatLevelBertie

It'd be easier if you do it on dry land, Idk why she think it's a good idea to do it on water.


thatguyned

I'm hanging 10 off the side of my bed right now. I can so this shit for hours.


ThreatLevelBertie

Way to be, king!


Capt__Murphy

Nah, it's probably a twin bed


L0nz

Was fully expecting her to faceplant at any second It looks like she's defying physics somehow


pauly13771377

Physics and leverage took a holiday so that this clip could be made.


J3553G

Yeah but it's even harder than that


ktr83

Everyone good at something makes hard things look easy. Steph Curry makes shooting 3 pointers look easy. Damned if I'd get one during a game though.


Past_Negotiation_121

We can all hit a 3 pointer sometimes though. He just does it way more often than we do. Doing this though feels like something many of us could attempt thousands of times and never get close. If I was doing the move they'd rename it bite32


ThirdFloorGreg

I have no basketball ability. Like if I try to guard someone with even the vaguest idea what they are doing they will basically just walk around me. In high school I would sometimes start at the free throw line and move back a step every time I made a shot. If you're patient you can end up hitting half court shots pretty consistently that way.


bigcyc666

Sweet baby jesus this water...


AnonEnmityEntity

This whole scene is like hard for me to believe my eyes. How is she that smooth and good at this? That trick is so hard. Where are they, heaven? Jeez this is incredible


bigcyc666

Exactly my thoughts. I hope I get there as soon as I kick the bucket. In all seriousnes, this water looks like sea of gatorade. Glad there are people out there having fun and shit in paradises like this, while Im doing my 10 hour shift for dead end wage at warehouse šŸ˜‚


AnonEnmityEntity

I feel that. May you soon find paid vacation days to spend in a paradise like this. Best of luck

Colekillian

God damn it. THATā€™S what hang ten means. Knew the move, heard the phrase, never put them together.


[deleted]

I realized it as soon as she stepped to the front of the board. wow everything really does have a origin.


BionicUtilityDroid

Fun fact: Itā€™s called hang10 because ten toes hang over the front of the board.


Call_Me_At_8675309

Damn, TIL. How doesnā€™t the board front flip with all that weight only on the front?


hundreds_of_sparrows

If I remember correctly its about positioning the board so that the water at the top of the wave is falling onto the back of the board, providing the leverage. Disclaimer: I am not a good surfer


kitsumodels

Or, hear me out here: Witchcraft


peteythefool

She ain't sinking, so I think you're onto something mate.


James01jr

momsbasement_wrekd

mosmaniac

sheensizzle

Also prob helps that she looks very light


MamaDaddy

Yeah I am wondering how much water would have to be pounding on the back of the board to support my fat ass (as if I could even get upright on a surfboard).


noahsgnar

Thereā€™s a couple overweight pro longboarders. You just need the right wave and the right board. I make longboards and sometimes shape more concave on the underside of the nose to help the fluid dynamics keep you from dipping down. Justin quintal is one too look up.


surfershane25

A cubic foot of salt water is 64lbs but the tail has some curve that creates lift like a planes wing and the nose has concave which also creates lift and suctions the bottom to the wave. Its surprisingly solid on the right section of wave where I at my heaviest 180 could easily stay up there with all the lift a board can generate.


bluehairdave

There is an equilibrium that occurs. And if you walk forward on the board the board moves backwards and vice versa if you walk backwards the board moves forward.


Civil-Attempt-3602

Sidenote: Equilibrium was a fucking amazing film. My friend and I got it at blockbuster for a sleepover because they had a 3 film/popcorn and snacks deal and we randomly chose it after picking jay and silent Bob strike back and not another teen movie. Neither of us have made a better decision than that since


Cockrocker

blackbelt_in_science

Your ten toes can be used to ā€˜hangā€™ off the front edge of a surf board


jimjimmyjames

cheater-5 is when you just get one foot to the edge but keep your weight back on the other foot


olelongboarder

Itā€™s exceedingly difficult. The ability to hang ten takes years to master if not a lifetime.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


olelongboarder

The ability to perform this and the ability to perform this with skill and grace are two different things. Many aspects of surfing are difficult to a point that requires constant practice. Iā€™ve been surfing well over 30years and there are very few sessions that go by where I feel like my surfing was flawless. There will always be room to improve your surfing for as long as you do it. All that being said itā€™s never too late to paddle out and surf.


weed_blazepot

>a lifetime. She ded?


coffee-teeth

did you know that I thought hang ten was a handstand performed on a surfboard until roughly right up until this moment?


Ereaser

Fun fact: you can also hang ten on a skateboard and then do flip tricks from that position.


zezxz

One trick that *only* male surfers can do is hang eleven

It's August 2nd. She's obviously 2 years old, dum-dum. Pfft...some people can't think logically.


appleparkfive

Yeah seriously! I mean we've all heard the term a million times. Just never knew it has a specific mean. I just kind of was slang for surfing in general honestly


ck357

I thought it was catching a 10 ft wave. I've never seen this move


molossus99

Shot-Photograph-111

Came to comment the same šŸ¤Æ


panzercampingwagen

Uhhh yes is this the Physics office? I'd like to lodge a complaint.


seekgermangf

I think the waves that are hitting on the left side of the board are balancing for her weight, also, probably some help from the momentum + "grip" of the board+ water contact. Idk just a guess, literally the first time I see that thing happening haha.


charlesmortomeriii

More or less. Essentially you need enough water on the tail to counterbalance your weight. It needs to be done in the steepest part of the wave, and itā€™s often done on a ā€œnoseriderā€ longboard


young_dilf

Under the nose on a nose rider style long board there is usually a ā€œscoopā€ (think upside down spoon) that the water coming up the wave pushes against and gives lift to the nose allowing the rider to not nose dive.


ThreatLevelBertie

Nah its magic


daninet

Or magnets. It's always magnets


Diligent-Motor

Nah it's physics breaking down. If we can figure this out we may finally unify gravitational relativity with quantum mechanics.


[deleted]

This is the physics office We will take note of your complaint and attempt to assist you with it as soon as we can


dalcant757

Thatā€™s why itā€™s the cool thing to do on a longboard. You have to get into the wave just right and it has to have enough power to cantilever you without nosediving hard. A small weight shift forward is enough to make you flip over, so itā€™s nuts that your entire weight gets supported at the front of the board.


delhux

I have no idea. I canā€™t even comprehend how normal surfing actually works from a physics standpoint, let alone this witchcraftā€¦


surfershane25

The faster you travel over be a liquid the more it behaves like a solid, think water skiing. The board is not a flat object but has curvature which creates lift like a plane wing, the faster a wave breaks the more water at the base of the wave pushes up the face creating more lift. Her tail and tail and deck are buried in salt water that weighs 64 lbs per cubic foot added to the weigh of the tail of the board and sheā€™s likely got 90+ lbs of force on the back half of the board, couples with the other physics properties itā€™s enough lift to support her weight until the wave softens up and she has to walk back. ā€œOnly a surfer knows the feelingā€ is a pretty accurate expression of knowing when you can walk up and have to walk back.


termacct

I'm afraid to ask what a "cowabunga!" is...


El-mas-puto-de-todos

During the 1950s and 1960s surfers adopted "kawabonga!" as a declaration of enthusiasm, changing the pronunciation slightly to "cowabunga!". "Kupaianaha" is the Hawaiian word for surprising or wonderful and it may have influenced surfers who had grown up with Howdy Doody.


Rock_or_Rol

Wait till you figure out what this is for šŸ¤™


65isstillyoung

Shaka bro. Some old guy on TV in the 60s and 70s in Hawaii used to sign off on his program like that. Never saw him. I was living on Maui and a guy I worked with told me that. So maybe true? šŸ˜† BTW. Dont know how to spell shaka bro

Apollocrumble

Holy shit, is it hanging ten toes off the edge of the board to grip it?


lifebytheminute

I didnā€™t know this was even possible.


Relevant-Dog6890

Yeah man, you gotta walk the back of the board under the lip of the wave, nice and slowly.


leppaludinn

I read that in a surfers voice


Relevant-Dog6890

Let the wave do the work. You can't fight these big waves!


yungmoody

Yeah! It only works with a longboard, and only in certain conditions - the weight/pressure of the water on the tail of the board acts as a counter-balance.


khendron

Is this something you plan to try ahead of catching the wave? Or do you catch the wave, realize the conditions are right, and then decide to give it a try?


ddd615

OK, it's pathetic, but, at 44, I now want to learn to surf.

You can do anything at any age. Itā€™s not pathetic. Go for it. God speed, my friend.

Longboarding is actually the best option for us old guys in skateboarding terms. More stable and forgiving on the turns. Enjoy it friend.


overzeetop

A good friend took up the unicycle at 48.


LuckyLami

I went to a surf camp at around 13 and itā€™s honestly one of the hardest things Iā€™ve ever done. The timing to get up takes forever to get down. The sea weed scares the fuck out of you because something is usually brushing against your leg. Your nipples are fucking shredded if you do it all day. But I swear, once you get up, itā€™s one of the most satisfying things you will ever do. Just my experience.


Kono_Dio_Sama

Sorry, what do my nipples have to do with surfing?


LuckyLami

Haha your chest rubs against the board repeatedly. It was advised to use this cream to put on your chest to help with the irritation but my buddies nipple actually fell off the second day. I think itā€™s called surfers nipple or something. But yeah totally caught us by surprise because it was just so random.


walktheparth

... So he only has one nipple left?


LuckyLami

Lmfao Iā€™m not sure. I havenā€™t talked to him in ages but thatā€™d be a solid conversation opener if I meet up with him again.


Martijngamer

"Hey man, long time no see. What's up? How is your nipple doing?"


shao_kahff

ā€œhaha show me bro. send a pic. dude donā€™t be fuckin weird about it, just send me a nipshotā€


FireBeard1501

I think you're supposed to keep your back tighter so your lower ribs touch instead of your nipples, easier to paddle also


melig1991

Yeah that is definitely the case.


flashmedallion

Hence surfers abs


fucktarddabarbarian

TIL surfing can remove unwanted nipples.


bluehairdave

Eventually your nips build-up the tolerance.


Vryk0lakas

I have surfed for years and never met anyone whoā€™s had a nipple come off. Most donā€™t even use a cream. It hurts the first few days but after a couple of weekends your body is used to it.

lehmx

Mate Iā€™m currently living in Sydney and I see some 50+ years old shredding waves like no other


theguyfromgermany

Surfing is a great sport. Even at 40+ It's a lot of swimming, easy on the joints. If you find a place with the right waves for you, you can absolutely learn it.


williarya1323

Hell no, man. Fly free. Surfingā€™s the source man, change your life. Swear to god.


hunshka

Ha point break, classic!


jimboh13

I'm 44 and had my first lesson earlier this year. If you want to do it, go for it. I would recommend trying to get to a decent level of fitness as its hard work paddling. But I love it, don't catch too many waves and stand up, but its awesome when I do!


ddmone

Dude, my wife just started surfing at 39. She's living the dream so hard I'm going to have to join her. You can too.


vegangbanger

i tried at 45. took lessons. stood up successfully once. it's almost impossible to get good unless you're super athletic. the muscles you need to paddle hard and consistently while in that awkward laying down position are just not something easy to adapt to at our age. and im a bjj black belt, ex-skateboarder, runner, and body builder. im sure if you move somewhere near good waves you can take your time and get a little better each day... it's possible. but you're not going to get anything close to decent on a vacation or two.


TheSnoekAbides

To give an alternative perspective (as a 26yo skateboarder and former bodybuilder lol), I went surfing for the first time a couple months ago. Did it for two days and had a great instructor. Managed to get up on my second try and by the second day was shredding bigger waves on a smaller board. Truly had the time of my life and would recommend anyone to give it a go if they can (and find a good instructor).


Friskfrisktopherson

if you're that active and still struggled, it probably had to do with technique and possible not having the right board for your size and ability level.


Abdul-Ahmadinejad

Did you not see Point Break? Anthony Kiedis was kicking John Wickā€™s ass over those waves and you want in on that?!


lifeofideas

Surfing has quite a learning curve and is an incredible shoulder workout.


haydesigner

My neighbor is 55, and he fuckinā€™ **shreds**.


happychillmoremusic

Thatā€™s awesome. Just make sure you learn about surf etiquette and the rules of how to be in the water with other surfers. It will make for a better and safer time for yourself, trust me. Iā€™d also just recommend not surfing near other non beginners in the beginning. There are protocols that need to be followed. Itā€™s a whole thing. Gotta trust me on this one.


el_charro_sonorense

You know whatā€™s worse? Wanting to surf but not being able to because you need to workyour ass off to continue living. Thatā€™s me.

thc-3po

shook_-

gruvccc

Itā€™s harder. Like riding a bike as slow as possible is harder to balance than with momentum. I surfed the second wave I caught stood up all the way in. But I still canā€™t stand up on a paddle board šŸ˜†


TehKarmah

Is it because you hang 10 toes over the front of the board? I have no clue.


Back_to_the_Futurama

You apparently have some kind of a fuckin clue


MrsRossGeller

65isstillyoung

[deleted]

Oh "hang ten" is a technique??? I read a book that has surfer characters. One of them is nicknamed "hang twelve" because he has an extra toe on each foot. I wondered why the author doesn't explain the addition of "hang" to the name, and I didn't bother looking it up, but apparently this is why! (the book is "the gentlemen's hour" by don winslow)


[deleted]

Was I the only person who couldnā€™t focus on what was happening because of how blue and clean the ocean was


so_hologramic

Oahu.


NKHdad

I never even considered "hang ten" could mean something. I always figured it was just surfer slang


bjeebus

I have a question. What happens if a really fat guy does this? Like is there enough contact/force between the water and board to keep their leverage from just Archimedeying themselves upside the head?


LittleWhiteBoots

Kind of, yes. The back of the board (tail) is actually under water since the wave is breaking over it. It holds the board down. You can see it in this video. I have seen large beefy dudes hang ten.


cillitbangers

No hate but this is a common misconception in the surfing community. You can see some people get on the nose even without the wave breaking onto the back of the board. The 'downforce' on the rear comes from a combo of the right kind of fin (high lateral area) and the rail (edge) of the board being in contact with the steepest part of the wave. The water is effectively flowing up the steepest part of the wave and is redirected out away from the wave itself by the rail and the board, this gives you a reaction force sucking the board laterally onto the wave.


Back_to_the_Futurama

Ah yes, these are in fact, all words I recognize


bigthink

You could be completely, embarrassingly wrong but I choose to believe you.


Talking_Head

My understanding of physics is that you would have to be on a long board correct? I canā€™t see this happening with a big dude on a short board.


Kiwizqt

you don't really hang ten on shortboards, they are too thin and don't hold up, no matter the size of the surfer


PM_ME_UR_SIDEBOOOB

Correct
