Wouldn't it be nice to Hang Ten one day? In this episode, we unpack the origins and legacy of one of surfing’s most iconic maneuvers. From Dale Velzy’s legendary nose-walk at Manhattan Beach in the 1950s to the rise (and fall) of noseriding’s golden era, we trace how hanging all ten toes over the nose became the holy grail of longboarding. We’ll also touch on the gear, wave conditions, and style required to even attempt this dance with the sea. Spoiler: it’s harder than it looks—and totally worth dreaming about.
