The first thing you need to surf for the first time is a sunny day. Of course my friends do not give this detail, and in winter they go to the pier and look for the best waves. Not me, I am not a penguin’s chest like them, I’m chilly by nature.

With the sun rising and a good board you start. The basic movements are actually a very simple thing to say but somewhat complicated to implement.

First advice to learn to surf: the table. Do not even start with a short board, choose the widest according to the thickness of your body and with the points outlined. The table must be properly waxed. The paraffin-based wax is used not to make the surface more slippery table, by contrast, is used to prevent you from slipping when you catch the wave, so you should apply in the area where his hands and where they will put the feet.

That said, let us now see the movements. The basics are being accurately cast into the balance point of the table, ie the distance from your arms to the side edge is the same for both sides. The second movement is rowing, paddling very hard to pass the surf.

Above all I recommend practicing how to stay upright on the table on land before venturing into the sea. The movement to put in place must be very fast, never put his hands on the edges of the table, you must support both palms at the base of the table and get out of a jump, leaning forward, never try to stay upright, have the legs bent and your torso leaning forward. This, again, best practice several times on the mainland.

Well, the next consideration is location. You start surfing on a sea as calm as possible, and sandy beach. And that if, stay away from the reefs and rocks, need plenty of space to fall.

Although everything seems very simple to make, it is actually quite complicated. Surfing is pretty boring at first, you spend more time going to sea and waiting for a good wave surfing, but with time and practice you begin to enjoy
