Surfing Lessons: How to Catch a Wave

Remember how the girls had to catch a wave before they could ride a wave in our Learned to Surf in Two Hours video?

This surfing lesson teaches you how to select the right wave and how to catch waves. It also includes common beginning surfer mistakes:
• catching a wave that doesn't have enough power to push you along
• standing up to late or too early
• turning around too late to catch a wave

Now that you can catch a wave, you need to learn how to ride the wave:
• how to take off
• how to trim
• how to angle
• how to turn


Surfing Lessons: Surfing Etiquette

Maybe we should have viewed the video below on surfing etiquette before our surfing lessons - there are rules more courteous than don't give up waves to boys, such as
• how to act and respect other surfers in the ocean
• how not to drop in by determining who has right of way on the wave
