Well, There are a lot of Things need to considering when you join surfing. But if you ask me which one is most important? Then in my opinion my answer are: “How to catching the Waves and Keep balance on surfboards“
Balance on surfboards
Surfing is a game of balancing. If you do it well then you go fast but if you low balance then you need to practice to improved it.
In real, if your balance is good, you can surf on the boards with any stances, you can standing, lie, knee, sit… or yoga stance )))) . unnecessary that you must standing on the surfboards.
So, just focus on you balancing and you surf skill is improving.
Catching the Waves
Catching the waves is very hard in surfing. this is the main point in this game. how do you surf on waves if you don’t know to catching the waves.
You need to know some theory about catch the wave and take the time to practice in real. The further time you spend the more results. You will be improving to watch the waves, feel about it and got the right timing….
In beginner sections, you need to practice with breaking waves (white waves) first after that moving to the green waves (unwhite waves). Just practice and learn from experience for yourself.
