The only surfing instruction available to us was watching other guys in the water, copying what they where doing, and hanging on for grim death if it all came unstuck, which it usually did. The two main components of surfing are paddling out and dropping in.
You can ditch your board, paddle over the top, dive early or try to paddle under the lip. The internet is a great place to find instructors and research their backgrounds and qualifications. There are many things to learn starting out, like terminology, safety precautions and surfing etiquette.
At a surf school, you will start out on a foamie, or softboard, which will help you learn how to balance your surfing stance. If you re interested in learning to surf don t be intimidated by the sport, or the thought of finding the perfect beginner beach. You will need to do this many times before you get it.
Do not go out too far, even if you are a confident swimmer. Do not go out too far, even if you are a confident swimmer.
