#SeeaTipTimeTuesday
Take your time - longboarding requires us to slow down our movements, compared to shortboarding. With more board to control and redirect, the movements to do so are more drawn out. Here, @leahloves waits for the wave to stand up more before taking the last step to the nose. Noseriding works best in steeper sections on the wave (so the nose doesn’t penetrate into the wave when you’re on it!), so paying attention to what the wave is doing in front of you will dictate when to cross-step to the nose.

If there’s other people noseriding in the lineup, pay attention to their timing, and where on the wave they are cross-walking and noseriding. Visually absorbing and calculating from others is a great tool for enhancing your own surfing!

If you’re learning to cross step, imagine a string pulling up from your body through your head, keeping your balance centered right over the board. Push through your feet as you move your feet, this will help maintain balance and center of gravity connected to the board.
