Learning to Surf

Postby surfingduck » Wed Feb 18, 2009 7:15 pm

Hi,

I'm going to be taking a break from surfing for a while but I'm not going to be going away. I was wondering if there was any way to improve my surfing without actually doing it.

Thanks! :D

mind set - watch a fleshing load of surf video's on everything from random surfers ripping it up to lessons. It gets so engrained in your head.

see it - think it - do it :-)

I have no real plans, I am kinda bumming it. I am building a camper trailer out of an old vehicle that is sentimental to me, and just driving to where the surf is.
