Action/Endurance - Paddling.

If I take a break from surf.. then I get back into it.. in no time of consistant paddling for waves, it's like throwing around wet noodles out there.. :(

Ditto. The big wave fear.

ditto that twice.... looking down as the water disappears form under me, make or break... usually break.

paddling definitely up there tho, could always be better.

Thank you everyone that has commented, this has been really useful for my project and I've got some really good quotes. I'll leave the poll going because the more replies I get the better and I can always add it to my coursework later.

However, with the comments, my design is for a terrestrial based surf training aid, and i'm afraid there's not much i can do to solve wave or personal issues :)

Hahahahahaha – I can see it now - a device to hurl surfboards at you while standing on one leg with a fire hose blasting you with sea water and dead seagulls as you hold your breath till your ears pop ! :lol:
