How To Surf: Catch More Waves & Have More Fun

Step 6: Catching an unbroken wave is the best feeling when you’re learning to surf. Follow us @mazarine_aqua on Instagram for more tips and surfing inspiration and shop all the best active swimwear online at https://www.mazarineaqua.com/shop-1/ I promise you, you’ll never forget the feeling of surfing down the face of an unbroken wave. Here we’ll teach you all the tips you need to be consistently catching and riding waves. Once you reach this stage you’ll start noticing lots of errors and it can become frustrating. But don’t worry, we’ve all been at this stage and it’s now about putting the time in and having as much fun with your girlfriends as you can. Reading waves and selecting the right one to catch is the most effective way to fast track the learning process! To read a wave when surfing a beach break, look out to the horizon. You are looking for swell lines that are not even across the top of the wave. You want to select a wave where there is a peak to the and a shoulder or downward slope at the opposite end. A wave can break left or right or it may close out. A closeout is something you want to avoid. Paddling - When the wave is about 3 meters way, start paddling and ensure you get 8 strong strokes to match the speed of the wave before the wave before hits you. Angle your board about 20 degrees in the direction you want to surf, this will allow you to be travelling across the wave face as soon as you stand up. Position Ensure you are not too far back on your board or you will act like an anchor slowing you down. Remember speed is your friend in surfing. Positing yourself on the the wave so that you are close to the peak. If you sit out on the shoulder, it will be a lot harder to paddle onto the wave. Pop up as soon as you feel the tail lift and a forward momentum of the board, pop to your feet. When surfing on your forehand the cues to assist you are: Knees bent – back straight Head and leading arm up Turn head, shoulders and hips toward wave face with leading arm pointing the way Place your weight on the front foot The board should angle across the face of the wave (traversing). Dismount/wipeout In surfing you cannot control the elements but you can control how you react to them. I find a sense of empowerment when I relax in a wipe out situation. With some positive self talk under the water, you can learn to relax and go with the flow of the wave. Remember to wipe out flat and fall away from your board, always resurface with one hand covering your head and your elbow protecting your face. Be careful not to step off your board into shallow water as it is easy to roll an ankle. Wave negotiation, the Turtle Roll. When surfing on a big board it’s nearly impossible to duck dive. The best way to negotiate your way out the back, is to learn how to Turtle Roll. To start you need some speed as you paddle towards the oncoming white water. Slide off the side of your board. Grab the rails tightly and flip the board up side down and on top of you. Pull the board down on the waters surface towards your chest. You will feel the wave wash over your board. Flip the board over, so it’s the right way up and lift your chest back onto the deck, swing your legs around to the back and start paddling again. Learning how to turtle roll will give you confidence that you can control your equipment and keep yourself safe. If you do run into some issues, we have a common errors and corrections package that will support you as you progress through this beginner stage, but remember, the best surfer is the one having the most fun. Thanks for watching and we’ll see you in the water soon

Loved the video ! Thanks for the tips and not filling it with complicated stuff and bullshit ( sorry I can't help it with my language ) will that turtle roll a try I'm getting a hell of 20 waves before I get out to the break super tired that I need 15 minutes to rest before I paddle for a wave . And that 3 meters tip is lovely too I always wonders when to start paddling . The rail lift that is my biggest challenger I go into the washing mashing a lot after that tail lift so may be at the point I should pop up ( I was told that the tail lifts when I don't paddle hard enough which i find weird cause I'm a fucken beast on the ground lol )

talks about peaks and shoulders but doesn't show an example. high point and low point and example of closeout was good though

also, paddle when the wave is 3m away? what does a well formed wave look like? if you paddle on a fully formed wave, you'll pearl.

you look at the wave before you decide to paddle for it, it's basic knowledge and easy you just need more time in the water. my advice, paddle straight to the peak of the wave, out the back and paddle for clean waves with a defined peak.

Yes. I found this really helpful ss learning to get off the white wash on an 8 ft mal. I learnt how to get up n catch the white wash as s teenager and have been on the green face a few times at 13,14 and 21. I'm now 29

No, the laws of thermodynamics/physics change when there's no hot beach babes on the waves. Trust me, I'm a scientist.

Of course, gender is irrelevant here. The reason I target women is to encourage them to have a go and to help them belong to a traditionally male dominated sport. Enjoy guys!

I dont understand how when your paddling out youre facing away from the shore but when you stand up youre facing the shore. When/ how do you turn around.

Esa Kosivalta
Esa Kosivalta - 8 years ago
You have to paddle away from the shore to get to the place you want to be in the water. When you've reached the point in the ocean where you want to be (a bit before the waves break), you turn around and wait for a good wave. If you are quick enough, you can turn around just when you spot a good wave. To turn around you can get off you board, turn and get back on or simply paddle with one of your arms while lying on it to make your board turn.

I have been struggling to find consistency in my surfing since learning it several years ago. your gentle and insightful instruction has been invaluable for me to rediscover the joy of catching green waves in a predictable manner. I have spent hours and lots of money with other instructors who cannot seem to or are unwilling to share their insights into positioning. This video alone would have saved me countless hours of frustration. thank you very much for your videos. keep up the good work. would love to return the favor somehow.

Hi +Lee Marcus This is Amanda here, I wanted to touch base and say thank you personally for your beautiful words. It's really wonderful to see our videos are helping you rediscover the joy of surfing and being in the ocean. The week we opened our online swimwear store and we have curated some of the best brands to help women feel confident and look amazing when discovering the ocean. If you are in need of any new active swimwear please think of us. We have links to our site in our header image. All the best and thank you for sharing. Amanda x
