Surfing Land Lesson

Outdoor classroom for surfers.

It’s nearly summer time and that means it’s time to finally learn how to surf. I know that you’ve been saying that you want to learn how to surf year after year but have been putting it off. Well, the time is now, 2010 is your year to learn how to surf.

What do you need to know about surfing? Surfing is a challenging sport both physically and mentally but dont’ worry it is achievable. It’s the perfect sport to learn that will both challenge you and provide quite an euphoric feeling after catching your very first wave. You will enter the state of a beginner mind and enjoy the flood of energy that comes with learning something new.

Here is some helpful advice to get you surfer ready for this summer:

  • Swim- Swim as much as you can possibly take. It’s important to start working your upper body.
  • Read a Surfing Book or try a Surf DVD like Peggy Hall’s Yoga for Surfers Fitness series.
  • Take a surf lesson. It’s very difficult to learn how to surf on your own or have your super ripping boyfriend try and teach you.
  • Go on a Surf Vacation. If you want to learn, why not commit and surf everyday for an entire week. You will see the most progression attending a surf retreat.

Hope to see you in the water soon!
