Who has never dreamed of sliding on the water with their surfboard and holding their balance for more than a few seconds? Here are some tips for surfing safely and enjoying all the benefits of this activity.
First of all, be sure to observe your spot from the beach where you are. Watch where other surfers are positioned so you don’t get caught out. You need to check tide times and wave size. You can find waves of 2 meters or 50 cm in the same place depending on the wind.
To choose your board, rely on your size. Be sure to choose a board large enough to allow you to stand up and stand on it.
Know how to swim well and stay patient
To surf, you must know how to swim. If this seems to be happening, know that you must also know how to control your breathing and be able to stay in apnea.
As with any physical activity, do not neglect the warm-up. You can stretch or go for a short run to prepare your heart and your body for the effort.
Good hydration and sunscreen are also essential.
