What to learn/try next?

Postby DaveS » Thu Sep 13, 2007 8:23 pm

Hi everyone!

I've been surfing for a few weeks now and can confidently pop up every time, ride the wave all the way in and pump the board or shuffle forward to stay on the wave.

My question is what should I be trying to do next? I can turn the board to a certain extent (I have only attempted small snaking turns so far) but I think learning to move along the wave should be the next step?

Where should I be turning, should I attempt to move along the face of the wave? How do I know which side to head for to stay on the wave?

Thanks for the advice, I hope no question is a stupid question :lol:

The questions you are asking will be answered with experience. Keep on surfing, it's a natural progression kind of thing. Keep the stoke!
