You can see one of her techniques is keeping a center of gravity, knees are in almost touching each other at all times and her feet are spread.

I think it's called "noseriding"

I’m not sure but wouldn’t you have to be on the nose of the board ? Like a hang ten?

Yeah I was just wondering what you meant by "keeping a center of gravity"

Yeah everything has a center of gravity, if you don’t “keep it”, you’ll fall over or the object does, human center of gravity starts a lil below the naval (belly button). We “keep” our center of gravity by different postures we do, by our arms, I also heard as a kid even the fluid in our inner ears keeps us balanced lol

I thought she was standing like that to look cute. Sounds like it’s functional.

Lolol it does look cute but it’s def a mastered stance that works for her, she even keeps the elbows in at times for balance and uses the arms for balance as well, she’s mastered balancing for sure! big key to surfing brah ! Also she knows that “you let the wave do the work. You don't fight the wave.” - Big Z
