The secret to nose riding? Let the wave do the work.

Episode 4 of Beginnerโ€™s Guide To Longboarding withย Taylor Jensen: The Nose Ride is now playing on our YouTube channel.

In this episode, Taylor breaks down what it takes to get to the nose and stay there. From reading the wave and setting your board in the pocket, to foot placement, inside rail pressure, hanging five and ten, and finding that feeling where the wave starts doing the work for you.

From New Jersey to global art icon. Todd DiCiurcio Rob Machado

American artist who lives and works in South New Jersey after two decades in Brooklyn, friend of Rob Machado, and the creator behind the work on the 2026 Seaside Gallery. This special collaboration synthesizes Toddโ€™s painting, โ€˜Hunt Your Way In Cut Offs; Prey For Nature,โ€™ and in his own words, โ€œ...evokes a sense of adventure and freedom, inviting surfers to ride not just the waves, but also the expression that enhances their experience on the bubble.โ€

With an accomplished background in multiple mediums, Toddโ€™s art addresses the exo-distortions inherent in the patterns of displacement and excess strewn across American society. โ€˜Hunt Your Way In Cut Offs; Prey For Natureโ€™ is part of a larger body of work that exhibited in NYC 2026, offering profound psychological commentary on connectivity in an increasingly disconnected world, called โ€˜Telepathy Exit.โ€™ This is a reminder of the power of unspoken communication and the potential for art to bridge gaps between minds, hearts, and waves.

Summer just got a lot more vibrant. ๐ŸŽจ ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ Rob Machado Todd DiCiurcio

Introducing the 2026 Seaside Gallery by Rob Machado & Todd DiCiurcio, a special collaboration around the Pipe Master & California style iconโ€™s best-selling groveler built in a full carbon construction. This is the board our friends always โ€œborrowโ€ to keep, and brings together the DNA of a fish with the performance of a shortboard. Rob says, โ€œthe Seaside is a board that will always live in my quiver, and Toddโ€™s art on it makes it come to life that much more.โ€ Todd shared on the collaboration, โ€œsynthesizing my painting โ€˜Hunt Your Way In Cut Offs; Prey For Natureโ€™ through the Seaside Gallery evokes a sense of adventure and freedom, inviting surfers to ride not just the waves, but also the expression that enhances their experience on the bubble.โ€

An evolution of the Go Fish, the Seaside is built to excel in small, weak waves โ€“ the Seaside is more about ripping while the Go Fish is more about cruising. Built to be ridden as a quad, specifically with Robโ€™sย Machado Seaside Quad Fin Set, now available in a Gallery Edition colorway.

A little more foam, a little more glide, and a whole lot more reason to paddle out when the surf is less than perfect โ€“ thatโ€™s the XTRA CADO.

This shape is generously volumed hiding foam in the center of the shape thanks to the domed deck, but has pulled down, thin rails for performance when you need it. The bottom has double concave with vee running down the middle that makes the shape really user-friendly and easy to ride. It rolls side to side but still has lift, and his favorite part of the shape is the tail โ€“ a wide squash tail that foils out to be this super thin rail back through the tail, very similar to the Machadocado and some of his other shapes.

See Rob take his stock 6โ€™8โ€ XTRA CADO for a glide around Seaside Reef in our latest video, XTRA CADO, Hold The Paddle.
