Any surfing tips???

Question

I'm starting a surfing class soon and was wondering if anyone had any tips. I'm a swimmer and played waterpolo so I'm somewhat comfortable in the water but a little apprehensive about this new endeavor. Any motivation or reassurance might help as well.

Answer 1

surf alot and have fun

Answer 2

Not sure where you are taking your class at but remember safety first - if your instructor isn't experienced or certified, try to stay out of the way of other student's and plan on getting a good workout.

Answer 3

stay on your board

Answer 4

never ever give up!!!!! once you get you first wave it is like the best experience ever!! remember when caching a wave it is important to be far enough up on the board. the farther up the faster you paddle.
