The surfing maneuver in which a surfer places all ten toes over the nose is called a hang ten.
A hang ten is associated especially with longboarding, because a long, stable board provides enough nose area for the surfer to walk forward and position both feet near the front. The maneuver requires the rider to maintain trim along the wave while keeping balance as the board's nose approaches the breaking section.
The name comes directly from the ten toes that extend over the board's nose. A related maneuver, the hang five, places only five toes over the nose, usually with one foot forward. These terms describe foot placement rather than a particular type of wave.
Longboarders often combine a hang ten with cross-stepping, the controlled movement of the feet along the board. The maneuver is difficult because moving weight toward the nose can cause the board to pearl if the trim is not carefully maintained.
