The proper way to post a youtube is to remove everything except what goes after the last backslash. I copy and past the code then place the cursor after the last backslash then backspace to the youtube code bracket.

WOW! great bit of surfing on a finless bodyboard, he does a spin like a skateboard maneuver. Rails are very important. I bet all the skaters are going to look and think "I can do this" when just catching a wave and standing on this board is going to take a lot of commitment and time as in weeks to months.

Ahh, that Beater board has concaves near the rails on the bottom. Check out this flat bottom board. ( fast forward to :30 seconds, Mind blown at 1:50 mark )

In your case Waikikichan the code you need is what occurs after the = so if you move your cursor to between the = and the x then backspace through the rest up to the youtube bracket

Notice the projection he get off the bottom turns ? He does 2 nice ones at the 3:06 mark. Setting and releasing his edge/rail and knowing where to be on the wave. Not relying on fins.
