surfing art

It took me years to learn what good surfing instruction from an experienced coach can teach you in hours today. The two main components of surfing are paddling out and dropping in.

Of course, you don't want to spend hundreds on a brand new surfboard and equipment only to find out that you don't really like surfing. Having a professional selecting the ideal surf break for you to learn, helping you choose which surf board and fin set up is best for you, showing the safest way to enter and exit the surf and the proper paddling and wave catching techniques relieves virtually all of the stress off of a new surfers shoulders and greatly boosts self-confidence so all they have to concentrate on is just catching the wave. It s much easier to learn the right way to do things initially than to rectify bad habits and, you don t want to spend your hard earned money on surfing gear, in particular on a surfboard, before you ve had some training and experience, because you won t know what board best suits your style of surfing.

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. The longboard is the perfect board to learn to surf on, the length and width of these boards are designed to maximise stability and are easy to paddle on. This makes the board easy to paddle, and you can get more speed, making it easier to catch waves.

The type of board you will want to find should fit your skill level, your height, and the type of boarding experience you want to have. Please, know your limits.
