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

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.

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.
