Hanging Ten is a surfing maneuver and is considered one of the most impressive and iconic stunts one can perform with a surfboard. Hanging ten is when the surfer positions the surfboard in such a way that the back of it is covered by the wave and the wave rider is free to walk to the front of the board and hang all ten toes over the nose of the board. Usually this can only be done on a heavy longboard.
Hang Ten can also refer to a skateboard move called Hang Ten Nosemanual or to a BMX flatland move. It can also refer to when a basketball player dunks the ball and hangs onto the hoop.
Famous quotes containing the words hang and/or ten:
“If, then, we would indeed restore mankind ... let us first be as simple and well as Nature ourselves, dispel the clouds which hang over our own brows, and take up a little life into our pores. Do not stay to be an overseer of the poor, but endeavor to become one of the worthies of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It costs more to maintain ten vices than one virtue.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
