Frequently asked questions
What does 'hang five' mean in surfing?
It's a noseriding move where you drape the toes of one foot over the nose of a longboard, five toes rather than the full ten.
Is hang five easier than hang ten?
Generally yes; with only one foot forward you keep more balance and weight back, so it's a common step toward the full hang ten.
