Hello to all surf lovers! In our surf school On.Waves in Gran Canaria, we want to share with you some essential tips to improve your surfing technique and enjoy the waves to the fullest. Here are 10 practical tips to help you raise your surfing level and enjoy an exciting experience on the water.
1. Know the sea conditions: Before entering the water, be sure to check for sea conditions, such as wave height, wind direction, and currents. This will help you select the best location and time to surf.
2. Master rowing: Rowing is a fundamental part of surfing. Practice your paddling technique to improve your endurance and be able to reach the waves faster and more efficiently.
3. Work on your balance: Balance is key in surfing. Perform specific exercises to improve your balance, such as standing on a balance board or practicing yoga, which will help you maintain control on the board.
4. Learn to read the waves: Observe how the waves form, identify the most open sections and learn to read their direction and speed to anticipate and make the most of them.
5. Practice the take off: The take off is the moment when you stand up on the board. Practice this technique over and over again on the beach to gain confidence and improve your reaction time in the water.
6. Make smooth turns: Smooth turns will help you stay in control of your board. Practice 180-degree turns and lateral displacements to improve your maneuvering technique
7. Improve your position on the wave: Learn how to position yourself correctly on the wave to make the most of it. Keep your eyes on the horizon and try to maintain a central position on the board.
8. Learn to fall: Falling is part of the learning process in surfing. Learn how to fall correctly to avoid injury and minimize the impact on your body.
9. Be respectful of other surfers and the environment: Surfing is a community and it is important to respect other surfers and take care of the natural environment. Respect the priority rules, share the waves and collect your trash.
10. Have fun: The most important thing about surfing is to enjoy it. Have fun, laugh, celebrate your progress and don't take yourself too seriously. Surfing is a sport to enjoy and connect with nature.
We hope these tips will help you improve your surfing technique and enjoy your sessions in the water even more. See you in the waves of Gran Canaria at On.Waves Surf School! To surf it has been said!
