Basic Rules To Surfing- Do's And Dont's

Here are the basic rules for Sports - read and you should be safe in the surf (and so should everyone else). They are not in order of importance, but all are relevant. Remember - navigate safely and respect your teammates water girls.

Alcohol.
Surfing under the influence is not a good idea. Save the drinking for surfing after bragging session at your site, everyone just tell us the number of barrels that had been obtained previously.

Note.
Be aware of other boaters and water users, surf conditions, and of where you are browsing (see patrolled beaches).

Comfort Zone.
You must surf in the waves that you are comfortable, do not get over their head.

Fitness.
Make sure you are physically fit when surfing. You need to be able to swim back to land if he loses his pension at the end of an exhausting session - no mean feat in a wave of 3 meters.

Food.
As with swimming, not navigate at least 45 minutes after a meal.

Fun.
The surf is about fun, keep in mind when in the waves.

Maintain or shot.
Know when to hold in his surfboard and when to get rid of him. If you're sailing out after keeping hold its board, get back on line more quickly and not put anyone out paddling behind you at risk. If you're about to delete out after breaking away from its board. You are much more likely to sustain an injury if you and your board are receiving some washing.

Beaches patrolled.
If you're surfing on a beach patrolled make sure you keep within the designated are surfing. Take note of where they should be surfing before leaving, and ensure that they adhere to it when you are out.

Priority.
Always make sure you are not taking anyone else in the wave. Remember, the surfer closest to the breaking wave has priority. If you see someone and then a wave and the wave will have to wait for the next.

Practice.
If you want to improve then you need to be in the water surfing as regularly as possible. Nobody has anything better to do anything to stay at home and watching TV.

Respect.
Respect for the premises where you are visiting a beach. Remember that you are a guest and that the airwaves should be shared.

Rips.
If you're caught in a rip remember is called RIP for a reason and is not likely to make return to earth ever again. While we hope that you already know that a rip is a strong current that (usually) goes straight to the sea and if caught in one and you should not panic across the palette rip (not against it) until it has escaped.

Sunblock.
Always use a proper solar water-resistant. You know nothing about it if it has been for a few hours of surfing on the beach without it. In addition, if not wearing a costume that is a good idea to use a UV-proof vest eruption of body protection.

Surf Buddy.
Always surf with at least one other person. Not only do you have more fun if you want to share their waves, but will always have someone to help you if you need it.

Surf Conditions.
Make sure the surf is safe before going in. If you go browsing in a field who are unfamiliar with it is a good idea to get advice from a local. Take a look at navigating the terrain, while warming.

Warm-up.
Always have a rapid warm-up and stretch before entering the surf. This will reduce the risk of injury or muscle cramps while you're browsing. It also gives time to see if there are any rips or where the best place for catching waves.

Beginners Guide To Surfing

Now that you have read the Sports section and are in a position where you can get to the beach with his surfboard. (If you have not read the section navigation why not! - Back there 'orrible little grommet). You are now ready to have a go sailing by pipeline, the barrels of huge Kirra or Mavericks. Well to celebrate there, maybe not quite yet. Before we go any further we must first check a few things.

The first thing to consider is how a strong swimmer you are, and how far you can swim. REM around the sea is not the place to be if you're accustomed to wearing a rubber ring to keep afloat in the local pool. As with all sports there is an element of risk, and the sea is far more unpredictable than a football field or tennis court. One thing to always keep in mind, even when you are a competent surfer, is that you should never be out more than you could swim back and comfortable if you do not have your surfboard - could break his legrope at any time one can be found by going from a beautiful palette again on the beach to really take a long bath.

Being physically fit Needless to say, if you're looking to seriously take up surfing. A good surfer will pataleo, height and riding the waves look effortless, but there are a lot of physical work involved around rowing, to its board of directors and doing exercises (but does not allow ourselves to get ahead! ).

Safety must be always in the back of your mind, which is one reason that you should never surf alone. You never know what might go wrong even in the smallest of the waves - good to have someone who can help you out should get into trouble.

One last little thing, like swimming should never go sailing straight after a meal. Give at least half an hour before eating before going for a surf. If they are for a surf early morning you should wait until after their breakfast. Well, if it has not put you off then allows surfing get under way with the things namely section.

The Lip is Your Friend

Learning to navigate goes in stages. The first thing I must simply learn to paddle, duck and dive to hang up when a package of meat begins to demand to go home. His early days in water that barely face turn, and the coast. Then, slowly, of course, you learn to survive in the ocean, learn to paddle the wave and, finally, standing. Once you're standing on a regular basis, a whole new world opens. The wave of changes when viewed from a standing position, and learn to pump speed, and carving turn, and even start doing little S-turns. Soon you're looking for barrels and wondered what more the wave has to offer. During his long surf probably plateau at this level. There's a lot to learn. You learn to compete for space and survival with the peeling side of the wave, racing to stay ahead of the foam, and relishing the rush of speed. For those of you surf this plateau, ready to take their skills to the next level, this bit of advice is just for you.

The lip is your friend. The lip of the wave is much higher. It comes in many shapes and sizes. Sometimes it is thin and blown ashore, crumbles by itself and is nothing but a pile of foam. Sometimes it's thick, which took place on the high seas by the winds until it can hold more and launches out in atronador barrels of both terrible and beautiful.

Whatever form it takes, one thing must never forget: it's only water. Do not hurt (unless it is huge), which float your board (unless you're huge) and is the most important and dynamic anywhere wave.

Treat your lips as a friend. It will not be offended if you hit - although it may strike again; will not be embarrassed if snuggle up against it. Get over it, get underneath it, only to arrive and get a feel for him. As with anything in life, the only way to learn is to do. If you want to understand how to ride the lip, you get the lip.

Here are some fairly obvious get-to-know-that games can be played with lip:

• Gout, in turn bottom and go straight to the lips, no matter what you're doing, like office. As you are about to hit the lip, in turn as sharp as can be, a 180 if you are to it. Try to push the fins you right across the back of him as you hit and walk down. Depending on the wave and turning his powers, this can have a lot of interesting results.


• Fall into a fast peeling wave of bombs and some shifts to generate speed. Then walk to the tippy-top of the wave of launch and try to sit there, built up its cruising speed and balance at the top. Keep your weight slightly higher in the face of the wave so it does not slide over the back. Then, as the lip begins to pull away from the wave, on the edge and try to return to the side of the wave of pointing slightly downward, crouching low, and driving forward.


• Lastly, if you have a good launch lip, gout, low crouch, and lean close to the wave, let the lip pitch over you. Whether you're getting into a barrel or not, do not fall. Stay on your feet and think of the wave as nothing but a heavy shower. It's just water. It's just water. It's only water that is not going to call you. Okay, so it was demolished. What can I say. It is not my fault. Get up and try again. This is available to enter barrel riding. Now, go befriend her lip.

Surf Etiquette for Beginners

The rules of surfing are eternally unwritten. They undulate to break as to break the water surface, but as water, adhere to the laws of nature - the delicate equilibrium between gravity and surface tension. There are no referees in the water. There are no police, supervisors, managers or mommies to run to when things go wrong. Surfers lead by a loose set of principles that get passed through generations the way a mother bird teaches its young to fly, nudging them out of the nest.

I can only tell you enough so you can venture into the water and begin to learn by himself. Feel the rules. The line-up, people will tell you what is happening. The breeze will tell if this is a day for sharing the waves, or every man for himself. Close your eyes and you'll know if this is a day for solemn silence, or one day a hoot and scream. People will tell you. You know when you know. You. Until then, remember this ...

• Right track belongs to the surfer closest to the top of the wave. Never drop to somebody else when you're falling into the surf or closer to you to break the part of the wave.


• When paddling, the surfer in the wave has the right of way. Leave your way. You could ruin your trip, or perhaps get a Skagen in his melon. (Shredders, please do not try to hit or even spray people who are paddling out, no matter how lame.)


• NOT complaining. No bitching, moaning, lloriqueo, belly-aching, or mourn over the waves, other surfers, your boss, or whatever. Shut up. Nobody wants to hear.


• THE BEST most surfers riding the waves, like the big fish eats the most food and small fish must fight to survive and get bigger. Leave your credentials on the beach. The only thing that matters in the line-up is surfing ability.


• SURF hierarchy extends to breaks as well. The best surfers of the best surf spots. Do not try to learn in a world class wave, you do not even have a chance. If you feel intimidated in the water, go somewhere else. There exists an obligation to be a better student. The beach breaks, good surfers will meet in the best-sand bar, but usually there are plenty of other sand bars for beginners get sucked into practice during falls.

SURF etiquette is subject to immediate change at any time due to their size and attitude. Should 250 lb gorilla says you dropped in on his wave, say it is sad, even if it did not. Police officers can not swim. NO garbage. Never, never. Not water, not in the parking lot, not on the road to the beach. No cigarette butts, beer cans no, no granola bar wrappers, not fluff his pocket, nothing, nothing, zip. Someone shot his ass. Do not mess with the animals either. You are at home. The beach is surfing's sacred temple. Treated accordingly.

Knowing your limits. Surfing seems easy from the shore. Not so. Big surf will kick his ass. It drown you dead. Not being a coward, but not moving. If you feel you are in danger, you are.

To see one another. Surfers are your friends. Surfers are his family. Treat as you would have them treated. It can be dangerous in water, and we only have each other to watch their backs. Bring a smile and good vibes for water, and will bring a return.

The Movement of Waves

A wave, in its strictest scientific definition, is a disturbance traveling across half from one place to another. There are a variety of means, from the sounds and light a football stadium cheerful and media buzz. The waves were said that a "phenomenon of transporting energy." As a disturbance moves across half of a particle to its adjacent particle, energy is being transported from one end of support to others. A wave of transporting energy without transporting matter. The waves are seen to move through the ocean, but water always returns to its resting position. Energy is transported through the middle and, however, water molecules are not moving in the direction of energy. This is evidenced by the fact that there is still water in the middle of the ocean.

The waves in the ocean are caused by wind. The wind is caused by the storms that develop as a result of changes in seasonal temperatures in the most extreme ends of the earth: the ecuador and near both poles. These seasonal changes in temperature are the result of land elliptical orbit around the sun. The wind from the storm turns the ocean surface constantly in a continuous pattern, generating a continuous disturbance. This disturbance moves through the water until it achieves a different medium: the earth. What is where we come in Surf, somehow, is a study of how these riots to find a new medium, the shore. As the waves reach depths of water, cause friction to slow down, but led them to an increase of more than out of the water. When a wave is forced to rise too high, falls in on itself, surfers are known as "break".

Open waves travel games. This is because disturbances traveling through the water becomes a means of spreading, through which a new wave of energy is moving through ever larger and more invisible wavelengths. To fall within the joint. Much the same way, a pack of cyclists project is outside the pilot initiative, the wave travelling behind the wave of lead is a little easier path through the middle. It moves faster and therefore more wave takes the initiative, becoming the wave itself lead while the previous wave of lead is reduced to the back of the line. A continuous cycle of development of the waves by rotating the lead position within the ranks of each set. Thus the nature conserves energy disruption to travel great distances across the middle of the ocean.

The speed of waves group is 1.5 times the wave period (the number of seconds between wave crests at a fixed point). The individual waves travel twice as fast, at 3 times the period of waves. For example: With 20 seconds swell, swell the size of the group (or groups of waves) travels at 30 knots, while the individual waves travel at 60 knots in deep water before the waves feel the ocean floor and slower near the coast.

All this is very complicated when you start to connect numbers in calculations and formulas to try to determine the direct consequences. There is an endless number of variables. But then again, if only think of the waves, is very crucial. Think of a stretched Slinky refraction vibrations. Think of waves of sunlight and sounds. Think about the wind and stations. Everything makes perfect sense in a way that makes you turn your head to think about anything else.

Sets are something that many surfers come to understand intuitively. On any given day surf eventually acquire an idea of what sets arriving, and how they are changing, ever so slightly, in connection with the tide. Among the series of waves there are rows. The rows can be as important as joint gaps by providing paddle back out through and by forcing the moments of calm and strategy between the frantic encodes for the peak.

Sets, rows and provide wavelengths major metaphors in the way of life is the path and nature operates. Most surfers intuitively absorb those lessons while pursuing his ego-based adrenaline rushes, but some doubt discover the scientific explanations and the reality of his sport for fear of ruining the mystical, almost religious phenomenon that make it feel natural and harmonious way. But the truth is, the discovery of these responses are usually serves to heighten the mystery. It sheds light on how things are working within a single set of principles and parameters established by Mother Nature. And shows us that we too are an essential and active element in the package that includes everything.
