1. Swipe water
Raise your head, keep your chest straight, and look ahead. Use both hands to paddle along both sides of the surfboard, from the front to the back, and make sure your fingers are together. Based on your personal weight and the size of your surfboard, you need to adjust your position on the board by placing your toes close to the edge. When paddling, pull the water backwards along both sides of the board and adjust the breathing rhythm one left and one right. Do not open your arms while paddling, as this will significantly reduce the efficiency of the stroke.
Rowing is the most basic skill in surfing, and most of the practice should be focused on it. The quality of your paddle will depend on whether you can catch the waves.
2. Get up
When the waves came and you successfully paddled, we felt your surfboard pushing forward and the speed accelerating, and we started getting up. Find your ribs with your palm, then lay it flat on both sides of your ribs, supporting your body.
3. Departure
Once the speed gets faster, you can start boarding. Apply force to your arms and support your body. Jump onto the surfboard, keeping your feet shoulder wide and keeping your spine straight. Bend your knees slightly to absorb some bumps, allowing you to stand more steadily on the surfboard.
