paddle surfing

Surfing is a phenomenal sport that can literally be picked up by almost anyone at nearly any age. It took me years to learn what good surfing instruction from an experienced coach can teach you in hours today.

If you want to learn to surf, skip the trial and error and get a good instructor. Remember, even when you think you are regressing, you are in fact progressing, some days you`ve got it and other days you don't, the more you use up the bad days the sooner you will reach your goal. Another good reason to not go it alone initially is because surfing, like any sport, can be dangerous for the uninitiated.

The techniques. how to paddle, getting into the lineup, how to get up on your board, how to ride a wave, duck-diving, plus so much more. The advantage of shortboards is that they are short enough and light enough to maneuver the expert surfing tricks. It also gives you time to check for any rips or where the best spot to catch waves is.

Best of all, there are definitely places to find instructors and lessons at a great price. Always surf with someone else.
