Forget hanging ten—it’s hang heels time: noseriding through history

Description

Inspired by our convo with Laura Day of The Surf Société, we’re diving nose-first into the history of one of surfing’s most stylish (and strange) maneuvers: nose riding. From Waikiki legends like Rabbit Kekai to California icons like Dale Velzy and Donald Takayama, we trace how “a sport within a sport” captured the surf world’s imagination.

We’ll talk cheater fives, hang fives, hang tens—and the forbidden fruit of longboarding: the hang heels. Plus, how nose riding actually works (maybe), why Nat Young hated it, and why we’ll always stan Kassia Meador.
