Duke Kahanamoku, an Olympic star in swimming, popularized the sport further by traveling internationally and showing off his surfing style to thrilled audiences around the world. The only surfing instruction available to us was watching other guys in the water, copying what they where doing, and hanging on for grim death if it all came unstuck, which it usually did.
Having a professional selecting the ideal surf break for you to learn, helping you choose which surf board and fin set up is best for you, showing the safest way to enter and exit the surf and the proper paddling and wave catching techniques relieves virtually all of the stress off of a new surfers shoulders and greatly boosts self-confidence so all they have to concentrate on is just catching the wave. You can find a private surf instructor by simply searching the internet for a surf instructor in the area in which you want to learn how to surf, they will surely be knowledgeable about all regional beaches and together you will choose the surf break best suited for you. Perfect for the person who likes the feel of a longboard but wants more maneuverability.
This winter wonderland of monster waves is also one of the most dangerous surfing locations in the world. Basically a rubber cord that attaches from the fin area of the surfboard to the ankle, a leash keeps a surfer s board in arm s reach even after a wipeout so he can quickly retrieve his board without a long swim to shore. If you re a little more serious about your surfing, or want the complete surfing experience in the hands of a true professional, there are many professional, ex-professional surfers who can guide your development as a surfer and help you to get the most out of your surfing experience.
Practice jumping up in one motion, standing side on and keeping the board planing if possible. Watch out for sharks!
