Surfing Lesson 6 - Next Steps
Where does your surfing go from here? You have learned how
to paddle out, duck diving as you go. You are all clued up
out in the line up, with your positioning in general, and
you can pop-up and go just like a pro, but what next. Here
are our top 3 suggestions of where to go with your surfing
from here. Practice, travel and most of all Have Fun.
Practising Your Board Riding
Practice is the key to getting better at surfing.
When out of the water you can work on your fitness, check
out the latest moves on the latest surfing
dvd or surfing
book. Do some background reading on some of the great
surfing heroes over the years. Take an interest in the local
weather reports so you can be in the water when the best waves
are around. Practice, practice and then practice some more
- it is the only way you will improve. The better you are
surfing the more you will enjoy it.
Surf Travel
Travel for the waves. Check out new spots, go see
and surf places that you have seen in the magazines and the
movies. Take a look at some of the surf
trip destinations on offer. Make new friends at the break
down the coast or over the other side of the world. If there
is a sport that will make a nomad out of any man then it is
surfing. So many places, so little time. Think where you are
now, reading this, and have a think about how many lucky surfers
there are at this moment in time scoring epic waves. That
surfer could be you. Start saving or just jump in your van
and go get some travelling done.
Have Fun Surfing
Have Fun
Make sure that wherever you are and whatever standard of
surfer you are that you have fun while surfing. Surfing is
not only a great sport but a great way to spend your free
time. Just remember not to let it interfere with your homework!
So that is that for the lessons. From now on you are on your
own and ready to get stuck into some waves. We hope that these
lessons have been of some use to someone out there, and who
knows - there may be more to come!
Now you have read all the lessons why not go and find which
surfboard you will need. Check out our surfboards

to chat with on the Surf
Chat forum.
