HOW TO CATCH A WAVE | JACKS SURF CAMP TIPS

Before you go to the G-land Surfing and join the Jack's Surf Camp, Surfcamp G-land in the G-land Surfing, it helps you practice to surf first on the Bali Surfing with the medium waves.

The following steps learn to surf from Jack's Surf Camp, Surfcamp G-land

1. At home or on the beach before paddling out, practice popping up by pressing your hands into the ground or board beneath your chest and, in one burst, jumping to your feet.

2. Paddle out to the lineup, using the tips outlined above (How to Be the Right Kind of Beginner).

3. When you see the wave you want to catch, turn around and face the nose of your board toward the shore, then lay down and begin paddling. Make sure the nose of your board is not underwater or too high in the air—it should just graze the surface.

You’ll slowly get some momentum going with the same direction of the wave. It’s important to conserve a burst of energy for just the right time: get in position, and line up the wave using about 30 to 50 percent of your paddle power. When the wave starts to draw on your tail and lift the back of your board as it rolls under you, kick it up to 80 percent and then save the last few strokes for 100 percent effort.

4. After a few strokes, look back over your shoulder to gauge where the wave is behind you, but continue paddling forward. The crucial part is that you’re not too far in front of the wave and not too far outside, but this comes with practice and experience in understanding the waves.

5. You also need to make sure that the tail of your board is perpendicular to the wave as you paddle toward shore. The swell does not always come in parallel to the beach, so looking back and lining up with the wave is key.

Look forward, and use your peripherals to sense where the wave is. When you feel a burst of speed and momentum, it’s the right time to stand up. Dropping in feels like a mini roller-coaster slope. That’s when you stop paddling and get ready to stand up.

6. When you pop up, calmly look ahead and fully commit. Try to hop up all in one motion. (You can practice on the beach or at home beforehand.) Hesitation creates instability. Always keep your eyes up and forward. Never look down at your feet, back at the wave, or at the nose of your board.

7. Keep your knees bent, with slightly more weight in your back foot. Hold your arms out to your sides to balance. And... you are ready to surf at G-land Surfing!
