Standing Up
Back on the beach…
For a surfer, the feeling of standing and surfing a wave can only be described as the “ultimate feeling”. Whether you are a beginner or experienced surfer the feeling is achieved by standing on the surfboard and using correct techniques to benefit from the natural power of the ocean.
Every skill explained in the previous stages of this booklet is all about preparing the surfboard and yourself for the stand up. There are five key factors that will eventually help you achieve your goal of standing and surfing a wave all the way to the beach.
First of all we will look at the correct style to use as a beginner while in
the stand up position, secondly we will look at the techniques that will
get you from your stomach to your feet.
Coaches Tip
When you are starting to stand and surf it is important to keep your head looking up and forward. If you find you are falling straight off the surfboard, you are probably looking down. KEEP LOOKING UP!
