Tip #1

‍

Practice your standard pop-up in advance and refine your technique. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Lie on your stomach and place your hands under your chest.
  2. Push your upper body up into a push-up position.
  3. Quickly lift your knees up and forward without letting them touch the ground.
  4. Land your fastest foot behind the imaginary board.
  5. Then place your other foot towards the center of the board, with shoulder-width distance between the two feet.

Once you have mastered these steps, performing them in the water will become easier. You will discover which side feels more natural to you.

 

Tip #2

To get ready for your initial lesson, we suggest incorporating yoga into your routine. Yoga is a sport that fosters equilibrium and aids in breathing exercises and meditation. It can also serve as an excellent post-surfing routine to stretch your muscles. Stretching is crucial for preventing stiffness and promoting relaxation after spending time in the water. Embrace the benefits of yoga for a holistic approach to wellness and flexibility.

Tip #3

When you feel prepared and confident, it's time to start your first surf lesson or surf trip and put your skills to the test. Relax and enjoy the sun while listening to the soothing sound of the waves. For beginners, having fun is key as it keeps you motivated and eager to continue your water adventures.
