Surfing Waves

What do you think is the most difficult surfing manuever?

You missed off standing up

tough call, they are all such different acts.....Though they all take lots of balance.

Getting tubed is the hardest of your list by far cos you need a tubing wave for a start!

Broosta,
Agreed. Tubing waves are difficult to find. I believe that getting in the tube, and getting out are the most difficult of manuevers. Nose riding is also very difficult, to nose ride and survive that is. Any dummy can walk the front of the board and pearl, to hang 10 and survive, there's the rub.

floater looks damn hard

ROFLOL!!! I was going to vote for that one!!

floaters are pretty easy to do, prob one of the easyest manovers you can do, i wouldnt say nose riding is all that hard either if your in the right spot on the wave its pretty easy to get to the nose and hold it.

*snigger!*

i got inside my first tube last time i went surfing, but then after a second it closed out on me, although it seemed like i was in there for ages

Tube, by far. Or trying to ride the froth when you are starting out.

Tube's gotta be the hardest because it takes the most skill at reading the wave and clearing the lip before it pitches. Floaters are a little easier to predict and hanging the tose just takes a lot of practice and and solid wave to push.
