I am the only surf fanatic in the family so I am in the water trying to catch waves by myself while family floats around on noodles or lays in the sun, so it isn't easy trying to paddle into small waves yourself & try to stand up without alot of forward motion. Would quit and be at the beach every day if I was able too!!! Waves are mushy and it's been a flat summer in Delray, and you have to get the tides just right or it will be super flat, but it is good practice.
SURFER 13 TUTORIAL FULL
Been using this board since water got warm enough in June (I don't have a springsuit yet), but am only able to get to the beach on Sundays since I work full time, which stinks. Practiced with bodyboard last year, & hubby got me beginner 6" Totora foam board this past xmas. Went to Cocoa Beach last year with my bodyboard a couple times and caught some awesome waves.I was instantly hooked.

You are never too old to start surfing!! I have been around water all my life and was always called a little mermaid since I was always the last one to be dragged out of the water, but never had the opportunity to live near surfable waves.Long Island Sound definitely doesn't count! Have lived in Florida now for 25 yrs but never knew we had any surfable beaches after going to Ft.lauderdale/Deerfield beaches for years with really no surf break and I never saw any surfers to be inspired. If you're up for a surf first thing in the morning you should wait until after for your breakfast. Wait at least half an hour after eating before going for a surf. One final thing, like swimming you should never go surfing straight after a meal. You never know what might go wrong even on the smallest of waves, and it's good to have someone who can help you out should you get into trouble. For example, you should never be surfing alone. Safety should always be at the back of your mind. Starter's SummaryĪ good surfer will make paddling, carving and wave riding look effortless, but the reality is that there is a lot of physical work involved in paddling around, getting up on your board and doing maneuvers. Learning surfer slang will help you understand what the other surfers are talking about. Not observing the local surf conditions, rips, rocks and other dangers.Walking out through through breaking waves holding the board straight out in front.Not learning how waves break beforehand.Not preparing physically before starting out.Attempting to surf for the first time on waves that are too big.Not as easy as it looks (Photo: Lee Norberg) 10 Mistakes a Beginner Can Make
