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.
