fly to get to an ocean– Expensive– Not for beginners
Getting in the Water
• Lay on your board and position yourself in the center.
• Nose of board should be 2 inches above water surface.
• Use the crawl stroke to paddle through the water.
Reliable Waves
• If a wave looks like a flattened A then it is uncatchable
• When a wave starts to steepen like a stepladder you can catch it.
• If it looks like a C shape it is catchable but also very dangerous.
