Whether you're a pro surfer or a novice on the board, we have some super easy surfing tips for you to keep in mind the next time you’re heading out for a surf!
Large boards such as foam boards offer greater stability for learning the basics!
Try generating more speed and power by taking off deeper or at the peak of the wave. Depending on the wave this can be more challenging so don’t attempt anything you're not confident with!
When attempting maneuvers remember to eye down the section of the wave you want and turn your head the way you want the board to move.
Knowing whether you have the right of way to catch the next way can be confusing! The general rule is the surfers furthest out, or closest to where the wave breaks first, has priority.
Grab any beach rubbish on the way home! Take 3 for the sea is a great rule to strive for cleaner beaches!
Remember to stay sun safe with some sunscreen or zinc.
