The Art of Surfing To properly surf you must have good waves a surf board and yourself also some sense of balance. To stand on a surf board your feet need to be parrel to each other and must be atleast a meter apart. your legs must be bent and you need to lean a bit forward but not to much that you will fall face forward into the surf. when your first try to surf dont catch big green waves there the ones which have not broken yet. it would be ideal for you to catch white waves which have broken. when you at standing on the surf board, its is best that your look forward and try to stay balanced. this is only a breif discription of how to surf properly. To learn how to get up onto a surf board it would be advised to have lessons.

There are four types of surf boards they are Shortboard, Gun or Fish and Malibu. the best board for biginners is the Malibu why is this because they are the easiest to catch waves with and are more stable to stand up on. The Foamies which are foam boards should be used First as they are cheaper and Second they will hurt much more less when you fall onto of it or get hit by it.

there are a few rules to surfing. the First Major one is:

Rips which if your dont know are fast moving water which take you out to sea. experinced surfers will use Rips to take them out fur to catch better waves. If you get caught in a rip you should paddle across it till your out not into it or your will tire and most likly be taken even further out.

Surfing Buddy Buddies are good for two things one is that if you get caught in a Rip and cant get out they can get a Lifeguard, second they are good to have cause you can have Competitions with them. but they are mostly there for your safety because surfing is dangerouse and if you dont know whats below and around you then it is dangerouse surfing has hidden rocks or reefs can knock you out cold which can kill you.

Respect if you are surfing at a diffrent beach. you are the guest and should respect the locals and the share waves.

the last rule is

Priority which means make your your not taking someone elses waves. you should not go on the same wave as someone else. Remember the person closest to the wave that is Breaking has more priotrity then anyone else. and when someones on a wave that wave is taken and you have to wait for the next one.

Australia: is one gaint surfing country, you can surf all over it expect in the north where stingers such as jellyfish are and salt water crocodiles.
