anonymous surfing

It always looks so exciting when you watch surfers on the shore or on TV. Duke Kahanamoku, an Olympic star in swimming, popularized the sport further by traveling internationally and showing off his surfing style to thrilled audiences around the world.

There are even surf clothing and surfboard manufacturers who cater specifically to women. Some people swear by longboards for their entire surfing career, claiming that they are faster and simply more fun. Another North Shore Big Wave surf spot is Waimea Beach.

The fish is a little smaller than a fun board, with a tail called a swallow tail and fins known as twin, it can perform some feats of water based amazement and is mildly less stable down the crest when compared to the longboard or the fun board. This is one of the most important rules, always stay in waves you are comfortable in and if in doubt, stay out. The extraordinary rock formation underwater is the reason for this break s Big Wave phenomenon, luring many of the world s best big wave surfers to Pillar Point Harbor, north of Half Moon Bay.

You can learn to stand on a board and catch a small wave in a day, or work on form, style and ocean awareness with surfing legends over the space of several days to a week or more. At the end of the day choosing a board is personal and you need to get advice from an expert.
