Longboard Clinic The Stall #4
- Lift the nose high, the fin and bottom curve of the rail will slow the rate of descent, allowing the tail to sink down and into the pocket as the section catches up.
- Now with speed reduced dramatically, and the board critically positioned, where no true log could arrive from turning alone, release the pressure on the tail.
- Pressure released, water eagerly takes the rail in a loving embrace. Centrifugal force takes the fin and the board is once again compelled forward and into trim.
This is the stall, and for those working to master its intricacies, there is much bounty to be gained from the precise execution of this move.
- Deeper tubes
- Glorious head dips
- Better down the line positioning and speed.
- Solid nose rides, with the tail set deep in the pocket, enabling gravity defying fives and ten's.
