Exploring
This week is all about getting you out of the white water and chasing down the perfect waves. If the waves are pumping at 7am, you’ll be up for a dawnie. If the waves a peeling endlessly until sunset, you’ll be in. You’ll be exploring and discovering different breaks to challenge and improve yourself.
Green Waves
Your instructors will introduce you to catching green waves, have you working on your stance and turns, paddling technique and ocean knowledge. Video coaching will show you clearly where you are struggling. This course will really boost your surfing, providing you with the skills and knowledge to take it to the next level.
Here are three tips to get you started:
1. Work on your paddling technique. Having the right technique will make your paddling more effective and less tiring which means catching more waves. You want to gain maximum power from your paddling so always check your body position, look slightly up and forward, cup your hands and make deep and powerful strokes. Don’t paddle with two arms at the same time, this will only slow you down. Spotting channels and understanding how to use them safely, makes for an easier paddle out back.
2. Surf spots that match your ability. The lineups can get pretty crowded sometimes, add in a few experienced surfers to the mix and it can create dangerous situations. That’s not to say don’t challenge yourself with surfing harder breaks, just make sure you know you can handle yourself out there. Stay safe and make sure you understand the surf etiquette.
3. Have fun! Give someone a wave and a smile.
