surfing facts

The only surf school the first surfers attended was the school of hard knocks, heavy wipe outs, and plenty of peer pressure. Like most sports, the best way to learn to surf is to do it.

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. Wetsuits come in two main varieties, short sleeved and long sleeved. The arms of the suit generally are thinner than the rest, allowing the freedom to paddle the board.

Among the most popular boards in the water and for good reason, easy to start on and always fun. Lead with your head. You have more fun surfing with someone else, always have someone to talk to and most importantly proof that you scored the waves you tell everyone about.

Know when to hold onto your surfboard and when to bail out. Never take someone else's wave.
