Hanging Ten and Hanging Five are moves usually specific to longboarding. Hanging Ten refers to having both feet on the front end the board with all the surfer's toes f the edge, also known as noseriding. Hanging Five is having just one foot near the front, toes f the edge. Hanging Ten was first made famous by James (Rip) Carman from the early Californian surfing beaches.
• Cutback: Generating speed down the line and then turning up the face to reverse direction. Has the effect slowing the rider down to keep up with slower wave sections that appear after a fast section, for example a drop in.
• Floater: Popping up on the lip the wave and coming down with the lip. Can be used at the end a wave when the wave section is closing out. Very easy and popular on small waves.
• Top-Turn: Simple turn f the top the wave. Used sometimes to generate speed and sometimes to shoot spray.
