One of the Surf Etiquette rules is to Know your Limits. This is not a rule for the beginner surfer only. Perhaps it even applies to those surfers who ‘already know how to surf’ more so than beginner surfers. Never-ever surfers and beginner surfers may be a bit hesitant to go out on a day with the flags up, but if you have had many great surf sessions under your trunks then you may feel the courage to do so. Tune in to how you are feeling before going out. Do you feel excited or do you feel anxiety? This is usually a big indicator as to your limits. If you decide to go out, hang on the shouldar of the wave for a while and catch some waves there until you feel comfortable in the water. You would be surprised at how differently the water looks like from being on the shoreline to actually being IN the thick of it. Be Safe and stay blissful!
