anonymous surfing - the basics

Surfing is the kind of sport where the person sits out past the break and is waiting for a wave to come so they can paddle and try to catch it before it breaks so that they can ride it and get a good ride. Surfing lessons are all about taking your surfing to the next level regardless of how much experience, or lack thereof, you may have.

Test the water first, you might be able to get away with board shorts, but I would recommend a rash vest also. Tom Blake, founder of the Pacific Coast Surf Championships that ended with the onset of war in 1941, was the first man to photograph surfing from the water. Reasons, well first they are very stable so standing up will be possible within one or two attempts, they are soft so you won't slash open your flesh with the fin, or crack open your skull on the first wipeout, they are cheap and lastly they are very easy to paddle and generate speed on, which is one of the most fundamentally important part to surfing.

They can help you meet and make connections with others who are new to the sport of surfing, surfing with a buddy who is great for your development as a surfer, you will be able to motivate one another help each other improve your surfing performance. Supertubes beach brings perfect waves that are considered to be unparalleled anywhere else in the world. Things you will definitely need to bring are a bathing suit, sun block, a towel, and water as it is easy to get dehydrated in the sun.

Shortboards and fun boards were designed with the average surfer in mind, and are definitely a design specifically for East Coast conditions. Do not go out too far, even if you are a confident swimmer.
