Having problems getting my board to get going....?

Question

As I start paddling and get up I seem to catch the wave wrong. I can surf really well and when I get going it's always the wrong wave. What's the best set and wave to catch? Also, need new surfing spots in San Diego........

Answer 1

Best spot I've found is Law st in PB, but the locals are territorial fuc*mooks! as A woman it might be easier to get in, but watch your back. Some of these c*cks carry dive knives and find it funny to cut ur leash

Answer 2

surf more

Answer 3

It could be that you are too far back on your board when paddling for a wave - thus pushing too much water.  It could also be your board - a little more foam (longer, thicker, and maybe a little wider board) might help you out as well.  Also, make sure you are alternating your strokes and not doing the 'breast stroke' paddle.  Good luck.
