wake surfing

People in Hawaii made huge wood boards and would get in the water and paddle themselves out in the water and then paddle and ride the waves as they broke over the shallow sand or reefs. When paddling out to surf, you have a few different choices to make.

There are even surf clothing and surfboard manufacturers who cater specifically to women. Bud Browne, an accomplished surfer and waterman, created the first surf movie with his 1953 Hawaiian Surfing Movie. When the wind is right and the swell is from the northwest usually presents the best conditions for this beach.

Paddle into what ever you want and hang ten all the way to the beach. Rash guard shirts were yet another great addition to a surfer s arsenal. Practice jumping up in one motion, standing side on and keeping the board planing if possible.

Now, get out there. Start in the whitewater, practice paddling your board and catching waves to start with.
