Want to start your first attempts as a surfer and yet you dare? Need to know where to start? We’ll tell you in a few lines everything you need to know before starting to surfing. Need to go through some rather boring first step to then start the fun.
Have you seen the surfers on the beach and feel like practicing? We reveal the top tips from those who have learned from their experience.

Choose the board
Many often start with a board provided by a friend or had used but that is not appropriate for beginners. This makes it very difficult to take the first steps, above all, the more we are waiting, to stand on it. I suggest using one that is long, float, rounded at the tip. Ideally be between 3 to 3.5 meters (10-12 feet). You must also choose a wide, according to your body.

If you are buying a second hand, pay attention to it is not too yellow, beaten or have holes. It is recommended polished with paraffin wax base, which it sounds it could make it more slippery, actually prevents you slip when you catch a wave. It is important to apply wax on the part where the feet go to keep you from slipping when trying to stop you riding a wave.

Select the beach
Especially if you make the most of the day, begins in the morning and in one day quite sunny. Most importantly, there must be a moment too windy if you want to achieve some stability since the first attempts. When you’re more experienced, you will have the option of choosing more turbulent climates and optimized.

Find a beach where the waves are not too large. If you do not know her well, check with the lifeguards and warns that you will begin to practice. Check the ground to avoid areas that are low or rocky bottoms. It is also important to try a bit crowded and thus prevent accidents. Do not forget to use waterproof sunscreen.

Hiring a service class is usually a bit expensive but many choose to do so in the first few times to gain confidence. It is a good choice if you’re not who you go with.

How to stand on the board
To exercise mode stand on the board, so do it in one step: you go from sitting on the board to position quickly jumped up, trying to fall with both feet at once (one below to give stability). Remember to support your hands flat and not sipping from the edges. Your torso should be leaning slightly forward and your knees bent, do not have to be completely straight. We recommend looking at other surfers whenever you can; you help a lot to learn.

First steps in the water
Finally came the moment! If you do not want to spend the day going to pick up the board on the beach, tie it to your ankle. To do this, use an accessory called “pita” or “leash” that is available in any shop. Start to paddle in the frothy area. Do not forget to keep looking around you to get used to measure times and distances until they do it naturally. You should lie down without getting too far forward on the board so that the tip does not sink, not far behind, because you clog the swim.

When you feel ready, go to where the waves break. To get there, you pass through the breaker by pushing the end of the board down with his hands, so you will pass beneath the waves. To get up, repeats the same sequence as essays on the sand. Courage, will take time and much practice you achieve merge.

Sharing water with other surfer (without crashing)
Now that shares the sea with others, and in the streets, you must follow certain rules, which in this case are implied. If you’re the closest to the wave, you have priority to pick it up. In some cases, people come asking for it with a cry. On both occasions, we must take a side.

Do not be afraid and trust in the ability of others. If you think a surfer is coming too and can hit you, let me dodge, do not try to get out desperately. This decision will be the safest. Look, ultimately submerge under water if you think you can spend on top.

Some people are aggressive and do not want to share the area with others. It is better that we stay away and not respond to provocation. In some parts of the world, this is even punishable by law.

Benefits of exercise surf
The exercise of the surf, as well as recreate and give us the opportunity to enjoy a great way to sea, help improve our fitness and balance. These skills can be transferred to other sports to practice. It is also an interesting way to meet others who share your interest and passion for the ocean. Now what are you waiting to try?
