How do you stay still in windy surf on a surfboard

Question

like when you surf on a windy day you drift really far, is there any way to prevent this

Answer 1

Like the surfboard man said, "paddle". It's a real challenge if you are surfing at a 'surfing only' beach and you have to keep paddling to stay in bounds. But, it is great exercise.

Answer 2

Answer 3

paddle a lot like John F and The Surfboard Man said. thats the only way i know

Answer 4

paddle like a mad man.  i like to get the spot and paddle a bit past it. then sit up and just paddle sitting up just like small strokes to slow down how fast u will drift.  The bad part is that it wastes lots of energy u need to paddle lol.  

Or if its shallow stand on the bottom.
