Testimonial: "I love the NOHO Surf Trainer. It has helped to elevate my surfing much faster than I imagined. I basically decide what it is that I want to perfect. Then I watch a surf video that highlights that specific maneuver. Next, I practice the specific sequence on the NOHO and take what I have figured out to the waves. Amazing results! Thank you for your invention. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon it." Andrea Kabwasa, Los Angeles (9/16/2009)

Company Origin & Mission Statement

I believe the beauty, the sensation, and the physical challenge of surfing is unmatched by any other sport.

As an avid surfer for over 30 years, my ability and technique had reached a plateau many years ago…..and that is how I was inspired to invent the NOHO Surf Technique Trainer. The biggest barrier to improving my surfing technique was the difficulty of doing enough repetitive training while out in the water. A crowded line-up, poor surf conditions, or a busy schedule kept me away from my goal of becoming a skilled surfer.

I wanted to find a way to do repetitive training while out of the water.

The NOHO Surf Trainer gives all surfers, from beginners to the sponsored professional, the ability to do training in the warmth and comfort of their home. The NOHO goes beyond enabling surfers to practice one specific technique by giving surfers the tool to repeatedly practice a sequence of maneuvers that are the same as when actually riding a wave. For example, with the NOHO you can practice doing a drop knee turn, cross-step to the nose, hang-ten at the nose, and cross-step back again to practice another turn. The ability to do this “Sequence Training” is the key to executing great surf technique and locking that feeling into your muscle memory.

“Sequence Training” is the key to great surf technique and building muscle memory.

While other existing products emphasize improving balance, the NOHO enables surfers to practice and improve their technique, in addition to their balance. In just seconds, the cutting edge innovation of the NOHO transforms your own surfboard into a surf technique trainer.

Transform your surfboard into a Surf Trainer in just seconds!

Even when the waves are perfect, it’s often too crowded to catch enough waves to practice your technique. With the NOHO, surfers can practice their technique, style, and balance, while experiencing the simulated rail-to-rail motion of riding on water. The NOHO promises to dramatically improve your ability, so when that perfect wave comes, you’ll be confident and ready to cross-step to the nose and hang ten! This is my mission.

Mark Carlson, Avid Surfer & Inventor of the NOHO

What Is Sequence Training

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:32:44 Z

What is Sequence Training?

Surfers can repeatedly practice a sequence of maneuvers that are the same as they would do if actually riding a wave. Repetitive sequence-training firmly establishes muscle-memory which dramatically improves a surfer’s skill level on the water.

Examples:

A beginner can repeatedly practice the sequence of paddling for a “wave”, standing up on the surfboard, and then turning the surfboard.
An Intermediate level surfer can practice the sequence of cross-stepping forward and backward on their surfboard, then do a drop-knee turn, and then repeat the cross-stepping maneuver.
An intermediate level surfer can cross-step to the nose and practice hanging five or hanging ten, before cross-stepping backwards and doing another turn.
Advanced level surfers can practice switch-foot and cross-step maneuvers ,heels-over noserides, turn-arounds, and any other maneuver you can imagine.
Advanced level surfers can practice and enhance their style development.

Professional Longboard Association Ready to Kick Off Gidget PLA Pro and Ventura Pro Classic

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 23 April, 2009 : - - With the swells rolling into Ventura Beach California at the right time, the Professional Longboard Association is ready to kick off the 2nd annual Gidget PLA Pro and Ventura Pro Classic presented by Noho Surf Trainer. The PLA which is in its second of five events of the 2009 season has been hard at work adding sponsors to help build the events for both Pro Men and Pro Women divisions.

An announcement earlier this month, saw the PLA partner with Gidget Worldwide as the Title sponsor to the Pro Women’s division, allowing the PLA to raise the LQS rating to a 2-star event series, while on the Pro Men’s Division the PLA has recently partnered with NoHo Surf Trainer for the presenting sponsor to the Ventura Pro Classic, and remaining on as a key sponsor for the remainder of the season.

“I am excited and honored to be the presenting sponsor for the Professional Longboard Association’s Ventura Pro Classic. We are dedicated to teaching people how to surf, and I can’t think of a better way than partnering with the PLA to help build our brand in the surf community. I look forward to a great year”, said Mark Carlson, owner of NoHo Surf Trainer.

The PLA will kick off the events on Saturday morning, seeing the opening round of the men’s competition get under way, as well as the complete Gidget PLA Pro event take place throughout the day. On Sunday the Men’s seeded rounds through finals will be held.

The competition will be held at “C” St in Ventura, and if unable to make it to the event, both events can be seen on the PLA website surfpla.com , as well as the heat draws and schedule of events. All links found on PLA homepage.

Product Launch Press Release (November 1st, 2008)

Surf Training in the Comfort of Your Own Living Room...

Innovative new surf training product revolutionizes on-land technique training

The NOHO Surf Trainer

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—Cupertino, California Stoked on surfing for over 30 years....with often an over-crowded line-up, unpredictable or poor surf conditions, and too busy a schedule to get beyond the plateau he had long-ago achieved, Mark Carlson invented a way to do repetitive surf training while out of the water!

The NOHO Surf Trainer is a new tool that gives surfers of all skill levels the ability to practice surfing in their own homes and on their own surfboards. In less than 10 seconds, the NOHO transforms any surfboard that has removable fin(s) into a training platform. This revolutionary trainer enables a surfer to practice the techniques of standing, drop-knee turning, cross-stepping, noseriding, switch-foot surfing, and style development, all while experiencing the simulated rail-to-rail instability of riding a surfboard on water.

According to Inventor and avid surfer, Mark Carlson, "What makes this product unique is the ability to do "sequence training". Surfers can repeatedly practice a sequence of maneuvers that are the same as they would do if actually riding a wave." Sequence training rapidly builds muscle memory and dramatically improves a surfer's skill level on the water. Beginning surfers can practice basic maneuvers like paddling, standing, and turning; and advanced surfers can work on complex maneuvers such as forward and backward cross-stepping, drop-knee turning, noseriding and switch-foot surfing. Repetitive sequence training, without wasting time in a crowded line-up, allows surfers to gain muscle memory and learn the nuances of these techniques before perfecting them out on real waves. You will have been there many times on the NOHO.....so getting to the nose on that perfect wave, will be second nature.

Unlike other training products that lack the ability to more accurately simulate the surfing experience, the NOHO is safe, lightweight, and enables you to practice on your own surfboard. Made up of four carefully engineered pods, the NOHO is not just a balance trainer, it is an entirely new class of training tool that better simulates the surfing experience. The NOHO Surf Trainer vastly expands the potential of on-land technique training, taking its benefits to an entirely new level.

The company is now taking purchase orders and seeking reviews of this revolutionary advance in surf training. For more information, please visit their website at www.nohosurf.com or contact Mark Carlson at (408) 209-1817.

What Surfboards Can I Use

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 23:16:18 Z

What Surfboards Can I Use with NOHO?

You can use NOHO with any surfboard that has removable fin(s) and a typical glass, epoxy, rubber, or foam finish. All surfboards, if used as instructed, are safe to use with the NOHO.

The NOHO pods and rail hooks have been professionally designed and engineered to disperse the weight load on your surfboard so that there is no damage to the bottom surface of your board. The NOHO pods and rail hooks are overmolded with soft rubber for safe and non-abrasive contact with your board.

The NOHO pods and rail hooks are designed to work with surfboards of all lengths, widths, thicknesses, and rockers. The NOHO pods are attached close together to provide strong support along the length of your surfboard. The rail hooks can be easily adjusted to accommodate thinner or thicker rails by applying hand pressure to the rail hook.
