How to surf for beginners?

EQUIPMENT KNOWLEDGE

Understanding how to surf for beginners is knowledge of important things. We are starting with choosing a suitable surfboard. The main barrier for beginners is starting on an unsuitable board. We have many surfboards of any design category, volume, and dimensions. We’ll assist you to select a good board depending on intentions and individual characteristics as heaviness. So you will catch waves easily not struggling to paddle onto waves no matter how big or small it is.

SAFETY

If you are thinking about how to surf for beginners — don’t forget about safety? First, choose a beach with an appropriate wave height. Surfing Waikiki Beach is an areally safe choice. The wave breaks long and slow, losing its energy as it approaches the beach.

The second thing is identifying threats as a rip current. It can be very dangerous for beginners because you can be caught in a rip current. Our professional instructor Paolo will explain to you the rules to identify a rip & get out of it.

PADDLING TECHNIQUE OUT -IN

Paolo will also show how to be a good paddler. It’s significant because if you are able to paddle, then more times you can catch the waves and get the takeoff zone of each one. The proper position comes with an activation of the back and core muscles. Lessons will be held under strict supervision, with correcting mistakes & fast track your training progress.

PERFORM BASIC MANEUVERS

Most beginners believe that turning a surfboard only relies on an action of feet but the ability to turn your board relies on linking together of your upper and lower body. Each maneuver in surfing relies on the very same principles of directional change. With Paolo’s lessons, you’ll understand the main rule to perform a successful maneuver.

These basic things are an Introduction to surfing. Private Surf lessons in Waikiki give you a simple understanding of how to surf for beginners.
