Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2007 1:37 pmThere are many things but here is another one. Don't paddle out directly behind someone that is paddling out.

Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2007 4:40 pmOnce you think you have caught the wave, paddle a little more...there now you got it.
Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2007 5:15 pmthis is more like a warning, "so you wanna surf eh, your life's going to change, are you sure you're ready?"
Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2007 9:48 pm12 yrs ago when i thought i'd got it nailed and dropping in like crazy "Oi Feck Off" soon realised my mistake.
Posted: Thu Mar 15, 2007 11:12 pmhmmm, not that Ive been able to put it into proper practice...Practice pop ups!

Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2007 1:54 pm"Uh oh........paddle!"
Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2007 3:36 pm"before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes"
that way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away.....
... and you have their shoes!!

Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2007 4:47 pmDon't give up.
I had an awful day yesterday. got my leash wrapped around a rock paddling back in and I couldn't get back above the waves for air. Had to calm down and tell myself not to panic and just reach down and pull the release tab. Was ready to quit!! But had a brilliant day today. I'm still a beginner and there will be more bad days than good in the beginning, but don't give up.

Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2007 8:29 pm'Relax and enjoy the ride' when talkin about wiping out.
Posted: Fri Mar 16, 2007 9:09 pmhmmmm a few things:
1) try to surf where there's lifeguards (this has come in handy
)
2) PADDLE PADDLE PADDLE (always useful!)
3) protect your head when you wipeout (I sometimes forget this one and remember when it's too late
!)
