Surfers... - Beyond Tiki

The first bit of advise I always give is to... take a lesson! Alot of people think surfing is a breeze, "If those dumb surfers can do it so can I." and just grab a board and jump in the water. Monkeyman is right about paddling being about 90% of the game, but a good portion of that paddling is paddling to catch the wave and that is ALL about timing. If you really want to learn, find a lesson and save yourself the frustration that I see alot of people suffer. Have fun and Aloha, :tiki:
