Learning From Surf Lessons Kauai

By Carmella Watts


A lot of people would want to learn the art of surfing because it is a very exciting sport where in one can feel his blood rush when he takes on the big and dangerous waves. Of course before he actually tries to ride the waves, he must first take up a class or a lesson so that he will know how to. So for those who are planning to take up surf lessons Kauai, here are some of the things to expect.

Now in most cases, trainers would always require beginners to buy the four most basic things that every surfer needs. These things are the surfboard, the surfing leash, the sticky wax, and the wet suit. If one does not have these four things, then the trainers would actually opt not to entertain him until all of these things are already bought.

When a beginner starts learning how to handle a board, he will not be allowed to go into the water yet. Trainers would usually let the beginners practice on land first so that they will get used to the movements before going into the water. So one will first learn how to lie down on the board and then try stand up from that position.

The first step in learning how to stand on a board would be to first acquire a position lying down while on the board. From that position, try to slowly kneel on the board and then slowly stand on it with two feet. Try doing it slowly first and then go faster and faster as time goes by.

After some time of practice, one will now be able to try doing this move on the shallow part of the sea. Just like in the practice session, put the board on the surface and try lying down on it. Now take note that when one stands up, he should do it slowly and steadily because the surfboard will shake on the water.

When one has gained his balance, he will now learn how to steer the board from left to right just in case he would want to make some turns. Firstly, when one stands up he has to make sure to crouch so that the weight of his entire body is evenly distributed and he will not fall down. If he wants to turn to another direction, all he has to do is shift his weight to that direction.

Now beginners must always take note of safety precautions. When one already starts going into the water, he should tie his surfing leash to his surfing board so that he will not fall off the board. Also, he must always remember to rub some wax on his foot and board so that it will not be slippery.

So always remember that it is important to take up some surf lessons Kauai before going to the waves. It is crucial that one start on the shallow part of the water before going to the deep end. This will enable him to get used to the environment first.
