Paddling

(A) On the beach

Once you have got the feel of catching waves and you are confident your body positioning is right, it is time to start paddling on to waves. By paddling we are attempting to increase the speed of the surfboard which will give it more momentum, this in turn will assist in catching waves and improve the stability of the surfboard as we progress towards the next stage of ‘standing up’.
Sorry, but you are still not going to stand up just yet!
To achieve the correct paddling technique you should once again practice on the beach and familiarise yourself with the finer points, which are:

Do - Body positioning (as in stage 1)
Do - Slightly raise your shoulders and chest off the deck
Do - Keep your head up and looking forward
Do - One arm after the other, reach forward and pull down, close to the rail, bending at the elbow and then pulling through until your arm is fully extended.
Do - Slightly cup your hands

Remember what we are ideally trying to achieve is speed and momentum, it is important to gain maximum power from your paddling, things you DO NOT want to do are:

Don’t - Paddle both arms at the same time
Don’t - Spread your arms and paddle wide
Don’t - Roll your shoulders so much that you actually pull yourself of the side of the surfboard
Don’t - Keep your head down and chin rested on the deck

After paddling a few strokes in the sand you should place your hands
onto the chest line and push up.

Coaches Tip

SURFING TIP

Before any surfing activity you should do a full body stretch. Surfing is great fun but it is also a very physical activity and the ocean is very powerful. Even if you are just out there for a bit of fun you will exert a high rate of energy from your body. Stretching before you go surfing will help you get maximum results and help prevent injuries. If it is your aim to be surfing regularly stretching should become part of your daily routine.

• Be aware of your surfing surroundings. Before entering the ocean study the surf and identify any hazards or obstacles. Things you should be noticing are:
  - Are there any submerged rocks
  - Are there any stingers washed onto the beach
  - Are you going to be surfing crowded waves
  - Are there any rips or currents in the area
  - Is the tide coming in or going out
  - What is the weather like

Wave Selection

As a beginner you should start by catching ‘broken waves’ or ‘white waves’, the waves you shouldn’t be catching are know as ‘unbroken waves’ or ‘green waves’. A broken wave is one that has already broken or crumbled and is now rolling in towards the beach. Start off by catching smaller waves and progress to slightly larger waves with more power.

When selecting waves look out to the horizon and pick a wave that is further out, do not rush and decide to catch a wave when it is only one metre in front of you. Give yourself time and prepare yourself.

In the Surf...

Entering the Surf

You now know your body positioning and your ready to start entering the surf, but, how do you get out there?

As a beginner you should only walk out as far as waist deep water and keep your feet on the bottom at all times.

First of all, attach your legrope around your leg so the cord is sticking to the outside back of your ankle. Pick up your surfboard with your hands on the identified chest line and then hold it to one side (whatever feels most comfortable). Start walking out into the surf, be careful not to trip over on your legrope. When a wave comes towards you simply lift the surfboard up and over and keep progessing out until you are in waist deep water or a few metres in front of where the waves are breaking (break zone).

Never carry your surfboard if front of you while entering the surf, if you do, when the wave comes it has a much bigger area to hit and it will knock you backwards and most likely under water. Keep your nose pointing out to the ocean at all times.

On The Beach...

Body Positioning

Before entering the surf you should practice all techniques on the beach and familiarise yourself with what you are trying to achieve with each stage. Sorry, but you are not going to stand up with this stage. Stage 1 is all about your body positioning on the surfboard and catching waves.

To catch waves and surf it is important that the body is positioned correctly on the surfboard. Correct positioning will assist in keeping the surfboard stable and in trim and most importantly prepare you for the stand up which is described in Stage 3.

The correct way to lie on your beginner surfboard is to place your toes on the tail of the board, grip the rails below your chest, keep your head looking forward at all times and slightly raise your chest off the board. All these points are vital if you are to achieve your goal of standing and surfing waves.

Your toes should be in a position where you can cup them over the tail off the board, if you can do this your body is positioned on the board correctly, but where we want your toes is on the surfboard. Next, grab the rails below your chest (for future reference we will call this the chest line) by grabbing the chest line we are preparing.

 

the push-up that is required to assist you get to your feet. It is vital you grab the chest line with your ELBOWS UP and not down, they are described during lessons as chicken wings. Try and identify something on your surfboard with this line, it is where your hands will remain for the duration of your surf.

Very importantly your head should be looking up and forward, this will give you balance on the surfboard and help you progress must quicker.

 

Pushing Up

Once you have worked out your correct positioning, the next progression is to push up.

The push up is to prepare you for the stand up, it requires you to strongly push your upper body up creating an arch in your back and giving the maximum amount of clearance between your chest and the deck. An even amount of power should be used by each arm to keep the surfboard stable and in trim.

Once again your head should be up and looking forward.

Learn Surfing Beginner 3B

You may see surfers entering the surf directly into a rip, an experienced surfer who wishes to surf the back breaking waves can use the rip to be pulled out. It is the quickest and easist way to get out into the line-up.

Remember, you are a beginner, until your confidence and surf awareness skill increases, conditions closer to the beach will most likely be more suited to your ability level, you should stay within your limits and avoid rips but look forward to their assistance as you improve.

Currents run parrallel with the beach, they can be quite strong and can
drag you some distance if you are not aware of them. Before entering the
surf identify a marker on the beach and take notice of how far away from
that marker you have moved during your surf.

Before You Enter The Surf

Be Aware and take notice....

Rips & Currents

A rip is a body of water that is pulling away from the beach and back out into the ocean.

A wave breaks and washes into shore, the water contained in the wave must move back out to sea. This happens by a channel being formed and the water flowing into it to create a current that is strong enough to pull out through the incoming waves.

As a beginner surfer what you need to know is that the rip only goes out as far as the back breaking waves. It will not drag you for miles and miles out to sea, if you find yourself in a rip you should go with it and then simply paddle to the side and catch a wave back in. Do not panic, be aware of what is happening, stay on your surfboard and keep an eye on the breaking waves which may become bigger as you go further out.

Rips are identifiable by a number of ways:
- The colouring of the water may have changed to a murky dirtier colour, this is caused by the sand being stirred up from the bottom.

- The surface of the water may be choppier or rougher, this is created by the incoming and outgoing flows of water colliding.

YOUR SURFBOARD

The basic rule to remember for your beginner board is “the bigger the
better”, a bigger surfboard will offer more flotation and stability which
will assist you in paddling, catching waves, standing and surfing. As a general
guide, if there is no experienced person to offer you assistance when
purchasing your surfboard, put one arm straight up into the air and the
length of your beginner board should approximately reach the tips of
your fingers. This booklet has been written for surfers using a correctly
sized beginner board. Parts of your surfboard.

The surfboard's essential parts by

Jay DiMartino

There are parts to the surfboard that you will
have to know to help you with your surfing.

1. The more rounded or pointed end is
known as the nose.

2. The opposite end with the legrope is
known as the tail, this is the end where
your feet go when lying on the surfboard.

3. The sides of the surfboard are the rails,
the rails are used for turning the
surfboard, but at this stage you should use
them for HOLDING ON.

4. The top side is the deck, this is the side
you lie and stand on.

5. The bottom is simply called, the bottom.

6. The legrope is what attaches you to the
surfboard, it is a velcro strap that goes
around your back ankle when standing.
(We’ll work on that later)

7. Surfboard Wax is applied to the deck to
add grip, alternatively your surfboard may
have deck grip stuck to it.

The Best Diet Pill on The Market

PhenObestin 37.5mg

PhenObestin 37.5mg is the non-prescription alternative to the popular Phentermine 37.5/Apidex-P. When you choose PhenObestin you get 60 of these power packed little white tablets with the blue specks in each bottle. That's a full one month supply of the weight loss product that is one of the best diet pills on the market today.

DIET PILL PhenObestin 37.5

Why Choose PhenObestin 37.5?

PhenObestin is made from the finest pharmaceutical grade ingredients. These ingredients are found in nature, and have proven qualities that can enhance your ability to lose weight faster and easier than simply dieting. When you use PhenObestin you get similar properties found in Phentermine, but in a safer package. PhenObestin 37.5 uses Synephrine HCL, a derivative of citrus to speed up metabolism and burn fat more efficiently. Even more powerful is Phenylethylamine HCL, a potent property in PhenObestin 37.5 that is a natural monoamine alkaloid found in the Acacia Rigidula plant. This magic from nature has several important qualities that make it an excellent dietary aid. First, it triggers your neurotransmitters to release a burst of dopamine. This is the same organic chemical your body creates when you eat such forbidden diet foods as chocolate. It makes you feel great and relieves the anxiety and moodiness that most dieters find so annoying. The Phenylethylamine HCL found in PhenObestin 37.5 also acts as an appetite suppressant, making it easier for you to follow your planned diet regimen. Yes, you still have to follow a proper diet with fewer calories in order to lose weight when you take PhenObestin 37.5 to obtain the best results. However, it is easier than ever, and you’ll feel great doing it.

Kind of Lobster

There are two kinds of lobsters, the "true" lobster (also called American lobster) and the spiny lobster.

1. American Lobster

 

The American lobster has claws on the first four legs, lacking in the spiny lobster. The American Lobster also known as a Maine Lobster, is most common live in restaurants and supermarkets.In general, clawed lobsters have more meat than spiny lobsters and are the type that restaurant goers on the east coast of North America will most often find on menus. Much of their meat is found in their very large first set of legs/claws - those closest to the head. (They have 5 pairs of legs in all; the others are smaller.) Their tails don’t have as much meat as their spiny counterparts but tails from a Maine lobster are still considered to be the best and sweetest of all lobster meat.

 

2. Spiny Lobster

The spiny lobster has a pair of horns above the eyes, lacking in the true lobster. Spiny lobsters also have two large cream-colored spots on the top of the second segment of the tail. these types of lobsters do not have large front claws but instead have five identical pair of legs. Because of that, most of the meat is found in the tail.  

Grilling Lobster Step by Step

What you need:

• Lobsters
• Lobster Pot
• Grill
• Butter or Oil
• Salt and Pepper
• Lemon
• Tongs

Step 1 : Parboil the lobster in covered pot five to seven minutes.

Step 2 : remove lobsters from the cooking pot, and place in a colander to drain.

Step 3 : slice lobster in half lengthwise from the tail to the top of the head.

Step 4 : after slicing lobster into two halves, it's a good idea to rinse the exposed lobster meat before cooking  on the grill.

Step 5 : Use a sharp knife to split the claws only on the side that will be turned up on the grill. Be careful! Hold the claw firmly as shown, and make a small slit to vent the claw.

Step 6 : Place each half lobster, shell side down, on a grill that has been pre-heated to medium temperature.

Step 7 : Baste the exposed lobster meat with melted butter or oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. For added flavor, use seasoned oils, or add garlic, herbs and spices or lemon or lime juice to the butter. We used basil to flavor our butter sauce.

Step 8 : Grill lobsters for about 10 minutes. Be sure to check the meat at the thickest part of the tail in order to determine that lobsters are completely cooked. When the meat is white and opaque, your grilled lobsters are ready to eat. Grab them with tongs and place them on a platter or plate.

Step 9 : Serve grilled lobster with melted drawn butter and a slice of lemon. We used basil once again to season our butter dipping sauce.

The way to Keep lobster alive in refrigerator

Lobster can survive in a pot in your refrigerator for about 48 hours.

Things You'll Need

• Pot, large enough for lobsters.
• Damp seaweed or shredded newspapers.

Instruction

1. Unpack the live lobsters. If your lobsters were shipped to you, they might have come with seaweed. Place the seaweed under water to keep it moist. If not, shred some old newspaper and moisten it.
2. Put the lobsters in the pot. Do not add water. If the pot is filled with water, the lobsters will deplete the oxygen quickly and suffocate.
3. Cover the lobsters with newspaper or seaweed. Cover the pot and place it in the coolest part of the refrigerator, which is usually on the top shelf toward the rear. The lobsters will stay alive in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Check them frequently, however. If they become very listless, cook them immediately.

Easy Ways to Prevent and Treat Back Pain

As anyone who's suffered it knows, it sucks to have back pain. But it doesn't have to suck for your wallet. Practice the following tips to relieve your stiff back and neck:

Take a Hot Bath with Epsom Salt.

Add 1-2 cups of epsom salt in a tub of hot water for a luxurious self-spa treat after a long day of work. Epsom salts are cheap and can be bought at any supermarket or drug store. A hot bath will help relieve stiff muscles and probably remove some of the stress that is causing you back pain in the first place.

Make Your Own Massage Tool with Two Tennis Balls and a Long Tube Sock.

Stick two tennis balls in the end of a long tube sock and tie the ends tightly. You can then sandwich the tennis balls between your back and a wall to rub them against your knots, or lie down on the floor with the tennis balls beneath you.

Sleep with More than One Pillow to Support Your Back.

To minimize future back pain, be mindful of how you sleep. You will need one pillow for your head and neck support, and depending on how you sleep, another pillow to support the bottom half of your body.

If you sleep on the side, put a regular-sized pillow or body pillow between your legs. If you sleep on your back, put a small pillow beneath the small of your back. If you sleep on your abdomen, put a small pillow under your pelvis and lower abdomen. (Check out a handy slideshow of these sleeping positions on MayoClinic.com)

Stack Books Beneath Your Laptop so that Your Neck and Head are Level When You Type.

These days, I stack three fat textbooks beneath my laptop so I'm not hunching over the laptop for eight to nine hours a day, and this forces me to maintain a proper posture.

Have Excuses to Break out of Your Sitting Pattern Every at Least 30-60 Minutes.

This is especially if you have an all-day office job in front of your computer. Drink lots of water (which you should be doing anyway) so you have to make frequent trips to the bathroom, and do some stretches while you're at it.

Go on a mini-walk during your lunch break. Practice your social skills and converse with someone who is on the other side of the room. If you work from home, take mini-breaks to take out the trash, water the houseplants, organize another room.

10 Ways to Increase Your Daily Water Intake

Here are some tips on jumping on the water train, straight to hydration station!

1. Know that the eight glass rule isn’t necessarily for everyone. Weight and exercise also factor into how much you should drink a day so figure out how much water you need a day with this nifty water-drinking calculator!
2. Don’t feel like you have to start drinking dozens of glasses of water right off the bat, ease into it!
3. When you want to drink a soda, think about the pros and cons. What good is a soda for you? It’s full of Aspartame, unnatural sweeteners, dyes… who knows! Water on the other hand is something your body needs and flourishes from.
4. Make water accessible! Buy yourself a water purifying system (Heck, you can nab yourself a Brita at the grocery store!) so that way there is never an excuse not to pour yourself a glass.
5. To piggyback on making it accessible, plan ahead! If you know you’re going to be out and about all day or sitting for forever at a desk, pour yourself a bottle to-go so you’re prepared when thirst strikes.
6. Drinking water all day can get a little boring, so spice it up! Add some fruit to your next glass! A personal favorite of mine is to add cucumber. It’s refreshing and different and keeps my taste buds from yawning while keeping my body happy.
7. Add some incentive to drinking water by keeping it cold- cold water takes energy for your body to regulate the temperature and burns calories!
8. If none of these strike your fancy, set a timer! Depending on how much water you need to intake, you can anticipate needing to drink a glass every other hour, for example.
9. Get sneaky by eating water enriched foods like watermelon or tomatoes- both over 90 percent made of water not to mention delicious and healthy for you!
10. Water is the essence of life, don’t forget to make it a part of yours!
