surfing holiday

There are certain terms that might confuse a beginner, and picking out your first board might seem a bit overwhelming. It always looks so exciting when you watch surfers on the shore or on TV.

Make sure your wetsuit fits well, otherwise you could get rashes in all sorts of places. Other famous world class Hawaii surf spots are kammies, backdoor, rocky point, laniakea, jockos and haleiwa just to name a few.

The wind blows over a huge area and then the water rises forming waves and swells that are sent all over whichever the wind blows that is where the swells are headed. It s far safer at all times to only swim and surf in the company of fellow beach goers. There are all sorts of secret breaks and deserted beaches along South Africa s Wild Coast.

The second type of a wipeout and without a doubt the most horrific is going over the falls, this is from not having enough paddling speed to catch the wave early enough, getting sucked up the face and pitched over with the lip. The soft construction of the board ensures you don't get hurt during the spills while you still enjoy the thrills. This contest gives the top names in big wave surfing 24 hour notice to show up and rip, possibly leaving with cash prizes.

So where ever you purchase your next board make sure they provide advice and ask you questions about the factors listed above before you buy. Last but certainly not least, having an instructor to teach you the basics of surfing, safety, and the rules will help you get the most out of your surfing sessions, while making friends at local surf spots.
