Steps 5: Often women will say to me, I’d love to learn how to surf but I don’t have anyone to go with and I’d really like some help. Follow us on Instagram @mazarine_aqua for more surfing tips and inspiration and shop our range of amazing women's wetsuits online at https://www.mazarineaqua.com/ As a women I too want to feel supported and to learn in an environment that’s comfortable. Here we’ll do just that, as I run you through the pop technique and show you how to catch a broken wave. To ensure you have the correct foot at the back of the board, ask a friend to stand behind you and give you a gentle push. The foot that naturally comes forward to brace your fall will be your front foot. At the back of your board, place your back foot over the fin plugs, with your toes on a 90 degree angle to the rail and front foot on a 45 degree angle about shoulder width apart. If you stand with your left foot forward that is know as a Regular or natural stance and if you stand with your right foot at the front that is described as a goofy stance. One is not better than the other, it’s purely what feels comfortable for you. Paddling Paddling the surfboard correctly involves using good technique, balance and rhythm. The first requirement is to position your body on the surfboard so that the board is in good trim to the water. To do this, your body weight should distributed correctly to keep the board flat on the water. Chest off the board Head up looking forward Elbow bent Hands cupped Fingers together Smooth and fluid alternative strokes, one at a time alongside the rails Timing To catch a wave you need to match the speed of the oncoming wave when you paddle. It’s common to need 6-8 paddle strokes to build momentum before the wave picks up the back of your board. Pop Up As the board moves forward you will feel the tail lift. Place your hands flat on the deck directly under your armpits and ‘push up’ to arch your back. ‘Twist’ your shoulders to open up your chest. Tuck your toes onto the back of the board, and push off your toes to swing your front foot through between your hands. This is what we call the ‘pop’. I recommend starting out where you can comfortably stand up. This will reduce the amount of paddling you need to do and you’ll fatigue less quickly. Wipe-outs are going to happen, if you embrace the wipe out you will feel more relaxed and will generally pop up in a few seconds. There are a few key techniques that will help reduce the risk of any injury. Emergency stop! If you are riding on your stomach and there is a hazard or another surfer directly in front of you, you need to do an emergency stop. From the prone position transfer your weight to the back of the board, and kneel on the back of the board. Drag your hand in the wave to redirect you either left or right. You should come to a stop quickly. If you are riding the board on your stomach simply slide your hips off the side of the board, place your feet on the ground and stand up, ensure you keep a hold of your board. If you are riding a wave, fall backwards away from the board, do not try to grab it as that’s when things become complicated. Often you will be learning in shallow water so flat as you can. Never dive. Board control when in the ocean A surfboard can be an intimidating piece of equipment, if not handled correctly. Firstly carrying the board, can be awkward and heavy. I suggest selecting a board that fits under your arm or alternatively you can place one rail on your hip and one hand on the far rail to keep it in place. When walking out into the surf, ensure the nose of the board faces directly into the oncoming wave. Like a T. Lift the nose up over the approaching whitewater and jump over the wave at the same time. Never allow your board to become between you and an oncoming wave, it will flick up and hit you. Mount your board - Walk out to about your waist depth and turn your board to face the beach. Mount your board, by placing your chest in the middle of the board and swinging your legs around behind you. Position yourself in the middle of the board and start paddling. Ok, so we have run through the basic technique for catching a wave and popping to your feet. I know there is a lot to remember when you’re first starting, but if you can just remember three simple words, push up, twist, pop it will help to keep it simple.
