panama surfing - beginner's instructions

Hawaii is the original home of surfing. It s all about conquering fear, learning water safety, expanding your ocean and wave knowledge, and returning to the true essence of surfing, fun and relaxation.

If you come across one that doesn t then it s usually possible to hire the necessary equipment from a surf shop. This site/blog focuses on stand-up surfing, not body boarding. In most countries, surfing instructors are required to be accredited coaches through the governing body for that country.

Everyone wants to ride a cool looking short board, but for learning to surf you should try and find yourself a longer board. If you can get onto a good school your surfing will come on in leaps and bounds. The surfing sport started on longboards, and hanging ten on a longboard is way of life for many surfers.

You'll need to do a lot of this later on, and it also improves your balance. The type of board you will want to find should fit your skill level, your height, and the type of boarding experience you want to have.
