body surfing the essentials

Surfing is a popular and fun activity to enjoy the warm, long days of summer, but it can be a little intimidating if you don't know the first thing about it. The best way to learn how to surf is first hand, so after reading this article, go out there and surf, surf, surf.

People of all ages are drawn to the majesty of our beautiful oceans. The Quicksilver Eddie Aikau Invitational competition is held here annually, with wave requirements being 20 feet or higher. Surfing, although curtailed in the aftermath of WWII, revived as always by the 1950s.

Some surfers really like longboarding, while others prefer the maneuverability of a shortboard. Supertubes beach brings perfect waves that are considered to be unparalleled anywhere else in the world. 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.

But this is not always the case as some surfers prefer different styles of boards depending on when they paddle into a wave, how strong they are at paddling and how good balance they. If you want to improve then you need to be in the water surfing as much as you can.
