Surfing Tips

Hi Today I am going to give you some tips that are proved by many people that had helped them  to became a awesome surfer  :D . To achieve this they follow the following steps:
First of all try to maintain a good balance point a good tip to do so is to lay on your board then make a mark right at your chin. Selon experts this spot is best made with a bit of wax or a magic marker. This is a reference point that enables you to put your chin on the same spot every time, so the board will react to your weight the same way every time. You must be careful so the board's nose doesn´t digs into the water by moving the location of "your chin" back. To adjust, just slide back an inch from the mark and make a mental note. Too much weight in the back and the board will cork. This is a common mistake amongst beginners. You cannot catch a wave if you are corking your board. Move up an inch at a time till the board lies in the water naturally. This will provide you with the maximum hull speed and minimum drag from the water displacement that you are causing with your weight.
Do not paddle with both arms simultaneously because this will cause the board to speed up and slow down in the water and you will not be able to maintain constant hull speed through the water. Always paddle with the crawl stroke...one arm and then the other alternatively. This will provide you with a constant speed so you can catch that wave.
 In order to stand up on the board it is recommended to lie on your chest, put your head up, and look ahead. Put your hands on the board beside your shoulders, palms down like you were going to do a push up. Push your upper body up and at the same time sweep your feet under you. Make sure your feet are laying on the stringer, the line down the middle of the board. This move keeps your weight centered along the stringer.

When you come up, remember to keep low. If you stand erect you will fall. Assume a position of a sumo wrestler. Press your feet shoulder width apart and "grip the board in your feet", opposite of the way you would press your thighs together on a horse. Have your hands a bit higher than your waist and just in view of your vision. Always look up! If you look at your feet, you will fall down.

Safety Tips:

Never have your board between yourself and the coming waves! To avoid collision with others, keep a safe distance, say fifteen feet or the length of you, your leash and board combined. Beginners should always wear a leash or leg rope tied to their surfboard.
Every Beginner surfboard should also have a safety nose guard to prevent dangerous impacts with the surfboard nose.
Beginners should always surf with a buddy for safety, plus it is cool to share your surf experiences with.
Never push your board through the water fin first. The fin or fins were made to keep the board pointing nose first. Pushing the board fins first can be quite dangerous because the board wants to go the other direction.
Beginner surfers should consider wearing a vest, rash guard or tee shirt to avoid the rubbed rash they will get on their stomach and chest.
When you fall off your board, cover the back of your head with your hands.

Finally you need to practice, practice and practice to be calm and controlled is the smoothest way to approach this...so practice doing it quietly. If you have a surfboard, lay it on a large bed or in the sand and do this exercise. This is a way for you to judge your ability to be controlled.
