surfing girl - stick to the fundamentals

Surfing is a popular sport. Today, Hawaii is home to most of the Big Wave surfing and some of the most coveted breaks exist in this island paradise.

Southern California offers some of the best surfing in the USA. There are many things to learn starting out, like terminology, safety precautions and surfing etiquette. In most countries, surfing instructors are required to be accredited coaches through the governing body for that country.

The techniques. how to paddle, getting into the lineup, how to get up on your board, how to ride a wave, duck-diving, plus so much more. Rash guard shirts were yet another great addition to a surfer s arsenal. If you have someone that catches the wave and kind of waits for it to pick up you will see them gain speed fast and then just launch out of the wave like a rocket.

Although Mavericks was named in 1961 and surfed by only a few brave surfers for many years, today it has become a popular destination for surfers who want to catch a big wave in California. Also, always respect visitors to your beach.
