Seth Ananda Posted May 30, 2012 Wow! Great Picture. I have always wanted to learn to surf. There is something so primal about it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cat Pillar Posted May 30, 2012 Wow! Great Picture. I have always wanted to learn to surf. There is something so primal about it... Primal is a good word for it. Balancing on a plank of wood while riding waves powerful enough to smash you to pieces is pretty damn primal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3bob Posted May 31, 2012 1st pointer for learning surfing: Surfing is great although the learning curve can be rather steep (or steeper than it needs to be) without some help and tips to begin with... For instance starting out with something as simple and fun as belly boarding in the smaller waves close to shore is a good introduction to the power of the ocean. One needs to get a good feel for the timing of waves and how to get around in the water without wearing yourself out from unsafe battles with things like current conditions, tides, white water surges, cool temps, beach type and location, crowds, time of year and possibly certain types of ocean creatures - with some knowledge of those factors one can get off to a better start and concentrate more on the fun of it!
