Nose riding

Is it possible to nose ride an 8'4 board?

I've had an NSP 7'10 and didn't find it that great for me, just wondering would anyone reccommend one of those 'takeoff' board, epoxy/custom?


Appreciate any advice

yes, its all in technique. do some google searches on noseriding--just work your way up.

I've seen someone noseride a 6'8" egg, so that should show you how easy a 8'4" is(in comparison, still not easy)

If you really wanna nose ride then get a noserider, like the ones on this site

the 8'4" i had ( i still have but im trying to sell it, if your intersested https://surfing-waves.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4775) i would hange 5 on it on a regular basis(it was a big tricky tho), i never tried hanging 10 but now i think about it, if i could get the board in the right possition i could of dun a few hang 10's.
