Adults Learn Surfing on Soft Tops
Adults Learn Surfing on Soft Tops because they make learning easier. The soft top surfboard has high volume which makes them easy to paddle, catch waves and ride.
All students begin with a short dry land lesson to discuss safety and learn the pop up. Then students are taken into shallow water and pushed into foam waves. If adults have been exercising and are not overweight, they are usually successful.
Progressing to Bigger Waves
After learning to catch waves on their own and riding to the beach, adult surfers learn to paddle out through waves to catch bigger foam waves. After a few trips to the ocean, they can start catching small real waves that are 2′ to 3′.
Many adults who have taken lessons move to catching real waves on their own and paddle out to catch bigger real waves. At this point, they may buy a hard board that is still high in volume. The soft tops start at 9′ and getting a hard board that is 9′ is a good step.
Adults can take their surfing anywhere on vacation. Some learn so they can go to Hawaii and surf and others travel to other islands and countries. Surfing is similar everywhere. It is also great exercise that can be enjoyed at the local beach or while on vacation.
Getting fit to surf can be started with a few exercises and cardio. The best exercises are pushups, squats and dead lifts. Each can be done without weights. Surfing requires stamina, so an aerobic program aids effort and recovery in the water.
