What is a duck dive in surfing?
It's a technique for pushing your board's nose underwater and diving beneath an oncoming wave while paddling out, so it doesn't wash you back to shore.
Can you duck dive a longboard?
Not really; big buoyant boards are too hard to push under, so longboarders use a turtle roll instead.
