Learn Surfing On Soft Tops in Foam Waves
New students should Learn Surfing on Soft Tops in Foam Waves. This is the ideal set up to learn the techniques. The beginner techniques are the basis of advanced surfing so it is important to learn correctly.
The soft top board gives the new surfer student more flexibility to make mistakes. It is also easier to paddle and ride. Foam waves occur close to shore so there is not too much power to harm the beginner.
The Techniques to Learn on Soft Top Boards
The new surfer wants to learn the timing and rhythm of the surfing sequence. As the foam wave travels toward the beach, the surfer rolls onto his soft top and paddles before the wave arrives. As it is close to the board, he paddles hard to get in front of the wave.
When the wave has the surfboard, the surfer puts his hands in a man’s push up position next to his chest on the board. Then he pushes up and places a rear foot under his butt and flat on the board. If there is a lack of flexibility, the surfer won’t be able to get it flat and under his butt.
The surfer stands on the rear leg as he raises his hands and moves his other foot to the nose of the board. Feet should be about 3′ apart. The hips and shoulders are facing forward with the hands in front.
Once the surfer masters his ride to the beach, he can begin to paddle out, turn around, and catch bigger foam waves and try for some small real waves. The soft top board is a good learning tool on real waves. The surfer learns to ride the face, turn into the pocket and drive the pocket.
The longer the surfer stays with the soft top board, the easier it is to move to hard boards and shorter boards if that is the goal.
