MY FIRST HOUR ON A SURF
•
NEVER SURF ALONE
: surfing is an adventure
but it is often better lived with a friend or in a school.
•
Certainly,
THE PASSAGE THROUGH A
SCHOOL
breaks down the myth of lone wolf surfer
but you will find there really passionate teachers
who will pass the virus on to you. They will also
save you time with your learning curve and you can
connect with other budding surfers.
•
Remember that
WAVES CAN BE DANGEROUS
,
even small waves. Twisting an ankle while jumping
from the board is common among beginners.
So, we go out only when we are sure not to put
ourselves in danger.
•
ASK FOR ADVICE
. It’s poorly viewed to be sitting
on the peak spouting off at the mouth waiting for
the show to start. Surfing is an individual sport of
individualists ;-)))
•
BE DISCREET
. Surfing is a communion with
nature, not a party. Stay cool, simple, sober,
efficient.
•
DO NOT PLAY THE FOOL IN FRONT OF
OTHERS
. This is often why so many people do
not start surfing: the fear of embarrassment. Just
tell yourself it’s that guys turn. Stay out of peoples
way, and you’ll be fine. In order to do that, it’s simple: keep your eyes open wide ... and respect the priority
rules.
•
OBSERVATION IS YOUR BEST TEACHER
. You can / must spend hours watching. So you can learn by
imprinting and copying what you see others doing on the spot. It’s a well-oiled machine : the good guys do
it like that, the 80% of other as well, and the beginners they progress... slowly ;-)
