Paddling

 

                
  Next Lesson -->


 

  • The first thing you need to learn is how to successfully catch a wave.
  • You catch a wave by paddling at almost the speed of the incoming wave.
  • You can paddle a board wherever there is water.
  • Raise your head while you paddle with arms bent at the elbow approximately 90 degrees.
  • Cup your hands to make a scoop and finish your paddle by flicking your wrist as your arm moves past your hip.
  • The power in your paddle is the point where your arm moves past your hip.
  • Two extra paddles will ensure you catch the wave successfully.
  • Paddling can be done anywhere like your swimming pool on a lake or river.
  • Rather than going for just a swim, take a friend’s board down to your swimming area.
  • Try to balance on the surfboard then slowly and smoothly, finishing each paddle before starting the next one.
  • Paddle speed will allow you to learn faster and catch beach waves earlier.
  • You can sit on the board, lay down on it and swim off it.
  • When your surf day finally arrives, you will be better balanced and more wave catching-savvy.
  • Watch how the really good surfers paddle and emulate them.
