Surfer Skill level

Postby surferboy » Sat Oct 01, 2011 2:31 am

Hello Surfers,

My sugestion is to discuss and hear ideas about level of learning. I agree that have a fun is the most important.

I was thinking something like:

1- carry the board and just paddle in and seat
2- drop a white wave
3 - drop a white wave and turn
4- drop the face of wave
5- drop the face and turn
6- make a botton turn
7- make a snap
8- make a cut back
9- ?
10- air reverse...

You should have a good look at etiquette before you get in the water. Also, being able to swim (perhaps this one goes along with water knowledge).
