  • i taught myself to surf, no lessons or w/e i surf both boards, been surfing shortboards since like 2004, i was really young myabe 6, just got into longboards literally in the last month, so easy to paddle into waves, already walking the board, such a fun experience. i only use my shorthoard for big waves now.

  • i surfed alot as a teen. when i got on a longboard for the first time i told my friend i would never buy a shortboard again. i prefer the longboard because i dont care about crazy tricks i just love the ocean and riding waves

  • Hey does anyone want my sweet and salty nut bar?

  • what beach is that?

  • yea and keep your back arched. Also, I have been surfing a short board for 2 years but, before that, I surfed 6 years on my big foam board.

  • i weigh about 90 pounds and last time i surfed ( and the first time i surfed) i couldnt paddle into the waves fast enough. I had a longboard, so I figured that if I used a shortboard, I would be able to paddle in more easily. am i right?

  • @BethesdaSkater

    longboards are easier for catching waves paddle wise but on shortboards you need to paddel harder to catch a wave

    also make sure you are cupping your hands when you paddle when i first started i didnt cup my hands so i was moving like a snail and using to much energy and got tired quickly

    just paddle and paddle untill you catch a wave getting the paddle technique down is a necessity to surfing lesson's are recommended

  • @crypiticfire thanks man! yeah, last time i surfed i had an instructor. he just pushed me into the waves, but i really wanted to do it on my own. next time i go to the beach, ill keep your tips in mind!

  • those waves arent too great-instant closeout. but a great surfer w/ great advice
