Surfs up

 
 
Howdy partners! 
how's your summer holiday been...... done anything nice?
because I went to Cornwall and had surfing lessons I thought why not share some
tips and tricks I learnt.

1. when you see a wave you want to catch make sure when you get on, your feet are just over the edge.

2. next, so as the wave is just about to hit the back of your board
make sure you just keep paddling and paddling. 

3. once the wave has hit the back of your board do 3 more power paddles to make sure your definitely on the wave. 

4. now were ready to stand up! put your hands on the board and push up (so it looks like you have chicken wings, make sure your hands are next to your ribs)

5.  pull your knees up to your chest making sure your hands never leave the board.

6. slowly place your feet in the middle of the board and still keeping your hands placed on the board to make sure you have balance (remember to stay in the middle of the board so you don't tip!)

7. keep your feet slightly far apart and just ride the wave!

thank you for reading, this is the easiest way to get on your board and ride it hopefully I will do another one of these posts next year. thank you for reading
