Nollie Starts & Ollie FS180

A nollie start is a dock start where you pop off the nose of the board instead of dropping normally. It's flashy and builds nose-press control. The ollie FS180 combines a flat-water ollie with a frontside 180 rotation — pop off the tail, spin 180, and land switch.

Key tips

• For nollie starts, shift your weight to the front foot as you drop from the dock
• For ollie FS180, initiate the rotation as you pop — don't wait until you're in the air
• Both tricks require confident switch riding for the landing
• Practice in both regular and switch stances
