QUICK START GUIDE TO SURFING |

|
WHERE
SHOULD I SURF? |
| ANSWER:
THE WHITEWATER AWAY FROM OTHER SURFERS.
Head off down the beach away from any
surfers. What you need when you start is whitewater, the wave after
it has already crested and broken, and is rolling in long even white
lines toward the beach. |
| WHY
THE WHITEWATER:
Everybody, to a man (or woman) starts
in the whitewater. Anyone you've seen riding hundred foot waves on
TV, each and every one of those guys started in the whitewater. It's
just the way it is. (Anyone who paddles out for the first time and
starts whizzing around the waves like someone who's surfed for 10
years, is from another planet, and should be sent to Area 51 where
the Roswell Aliens are stored to be studied by scientists under top
secret conditions.) |
| WHY
AWAY FROM OTHER SURFERS:
It's a safety issue. You're going
to find that moving the board around the way you want is tough at
first, and until you can paddle and move the board around quickly
to where you want to go, it's best to stay out of crowds of surfers.
A good part of surfing is just being strong and agile and being able
to move the board around in the water quickly and with some degree
of control. |
| |
| THE
GOOD NEWS:
The whitewater down the beach
from the crowds of surfers is always uncrowded, and it's like going
back in time to before the 1960's in California when there were few
surfers. Once you're out riding whitewater, you may as well be one
of the pioneers of California surfing, since the waves are the same
as they were back then, it's just the crud (hordes of surfers) that
floats around on top of the water that has changed. |
