Surfing Tips for Beginners

As you pick the surfing board and head to the beach, here are the tips to guide you.

1) To prepare months in advance

An expert recommends that you should prepare your body at least six months in advance by doing pool lengths and running. The ideal is to swim twice a week and to run 20-30 minutes also twice a week.

2) To get up

To make a successful take-off on your board, some exercises will be very useful. Do some pumps and stand up, like what you will do on the surfing board. Notice that you need to bend your knees but backs. And you can make them at home because sometimes we’re a little ashamed at the beach.

3) To keep balance

To fit on a board, it is essential to know how to represent your body in space. For beginners, we recommend that you try to “walk on the edge of a sidewalk” or “put your socks on in the morning with your eyes closed “. It is important to close your eyes to make all brain sensors work. Two methods both are effective to plant your balance.

4) To use an extra paddle

This is a tip that can be applied to surfers of all levels. When you’re paddling for a wave and feel the energy of it start to lift you into it, take one stronger paddle. The extra velocity will make it so you’re not stuck at the top of the wave, making the drop much easier.

5) Fall flat

If you’re going to fall, the best way to not injure yourself is to fall nice and flat. Never dive headfirst off your board; try to flop onto your side or back. Even jumping off feet first can be dangerous due to the uneven nature of the seafloor.
