Thinking of buying a new board or are you learning to surf. When starting the search for your board, you will need to honestly assess your skill level.
A surf instructor will be able to offer professional surfing advice and guidance along with the added safety of being emergency medical trained. Not only that but you can always talk it up with your mates over a few cold ones after. Regardless of your reason for seeking out a surfing instructor there are a few things that you should consider mandatory, a long history of surfing, up-to-date first aid certification, proven surf rescue experience, and a thorough knowledge of wave, weather and wind conditions.
It's a great way to test out surfing, and make sure it's an activity you would like to pursue before you put a lot of money into it. This is one of the most important rules, always stay in waves you are comfortable in and if in doubt, stay out. Crowds of over 40,000 spectators gather to watch these surfers take on the cold water, unpredictable and strong current conditions of this paddle-in contest.
Take note of where you should be surfing before you go out, and make sure you stick to it when you are out. Be sure to get wax for your water temperature, as otherwise the wax can melt off or become slippery.
