stand up paddle surfing

The local surfers out on the waves can lose their patience with newbies who don't know the rules and big surfing no no's. These are the guidelines you should always follow while surfing.

Your instructor should also be happy to give you some advice about where to start. 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. Practicing yoga and learning to focus and balance will not only help you master the mindset side of surfing but will also help to avoid injury and increase flexibility.

375 miles to the west of Cape Town is Eastern Cape, home to Jeffries Bay, or J-Bay as it is known, is a pristine spot for consistent surf with famous curls. You may need all the strength you have at some stage. 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.

Having an experienced surfing teacher will help take a great deal of the frustration out of your learning curve, and you will improve quickly. It's like learning to walk, you will fall at first, but you will get better and better.
