annonymous surfing

Surfing is popular largely because it requires no formal training, a minimum of equipment and can be enjoyed by almost anyone at any age. Maybe you are just visiting the golden state's coast and want to give those renowned waves a ride.

While in the 1960 s through the 1980 s it was unusual to see women in the water you can go to the beach now and see sometimes up to half of the people in the water are female. Putting in a good amount of time in the kiddies pool will mean that you are more able and experienced to take on the back break when the conditions are right. Obviously, if you have a longboard it will be much taller than you, but the six inch rule is a standard.

A modern replica of what the sport was started on. Made from a special lycra material, rash guards are made to be worn in the water and dry very quick. But this is not always the case as some surfers prefer different styles of boards depending on when they paddle into a wave, how strong they are at paddling and how good balance they.

If you are paddling out then keep hold of your board, you'll get out back to the line up more quickly and you will not put anyone paddling out behind you at risk. You must know how to spot a rip before ever attempting to surf.
