The science of surfing’s fluid dance. 


The noseride is one of surfing’s peak moments; part fluid dynamics, part magic. 

But how does noseriding actually work? What makes this suspension between sea and sky even possible? The Physics of Noseriding explores the question through the eyes of Namaala, a young surfer whose people were flying on water long before the world even knew what surfing was. 


She takes us on a journey from mystery to mastery, as the wave, the surfboard and the surfer come together for surfing’s iconic dance with levitation.
