What is the NOHO Surf Balance Trainer? 

  • The NOHO Surf Trainer is simply a series of curve shaped pods which are easily attached to the bottom surface of any surfboard that has removable fin(s). Once attached, your surfboard can now be used as a training platform.
  • It is the curved shape of the pods which enable the rail-to-rail motion a surfer experiences while surfing. No rolling cylinders are needed to create the rail-to-rail motion. As a result, the NOHO is a safer and easier method for practicing your balance and techniques.

                 How is the NOHO different than other balance trainers?

  • It is superior to other balance trainers because you can use the whole length of your surfboard to practice your footwork and balance. 
  • The length and pace of your steps are exactly as they would be while surfing. As we all know....sometimes a wave requires a fast and long cross-step to the nose and other times we can take a slower and shorter step to the nose. 
  • A surfer is able to repetitively practice a single move or a sequence of moves (sequence-training). There is no other product on the market which enables you to practice a sequence of moves that a surfer does as he/she is catching and riding a wave. With the NOHO, your imagination is your only limitation.  

             For example, you can practice the following common sequences of moves:

    • Pop-up and cross-step into a nose ride
    • Cross-step into a hang-five and then step into a hang-ten and cross-step back
    • Cross-step backwards into a drop-knee turn and then cross-step forward
    • Pop-up into a switch-stance and cross-step to the nose
    • Cross-step into a switch-stance and cross-step back

NOHO Motto – “Every day that you surf is a good day. The day you surf and improve your skill is a great day!”
