The popularity of surfing starting growing in the1960's when movies like Gidget and Beach Blanket Bingo, which exposed the rest of the world to a sport only known to locals who were lucky enough to live near the beach. One of the most difficult and also the most important decisions that every surfer makes is choosing their surfboard.
Softboards are ideal for surfing newbies because they provide the best buoyancy and stability for beginners learning how to surf. While there is definitely a lot more to surfing, these are two things to master. Save the drinking for after your surf.
This winter wonderland of monster waves is also one of the most dangerous surfing locations in the world. Also, wetsuits are often provided with your sessions, but you can always have your own. Without the ability to paddle you will not only never catch a wave, but more than likely never even get to the line up. So many times I have seen a beginner surfer spend a stack of coin on all the latest gear and then spend an hour getting thrown around in the white water, wondering how everyone else made it out the back, it is 90% in your paddling ability.
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. If you are surfing on a patrolled beach make sure that you keep within the designated surfing area.
