5 THINGS TO KNOW WHEN YOU START SURFING AT G-LAND SURFING

1 The Learning Curve

Before you start surfing, you must know this: surfing is one of the most difficult and complex sport in the world. Think about it. Not one wave is the same, so your playground is constantly changing. Elements such as wind, tides and swells are affecting the waves you surf differently every single day. Including at G-land Surfing.

2 The Importance Of Your Surfboard

In any sport, having the right equipment helps you perform. But surfing is different. It can make the difference between surfing 20 waves or 0 waves in your session. Use the professional surfboard at the G-land Surfing, because of the wave at the G-land Surfing.

3. Choose The Adequate Surf Spot

This is extremely important. It can determine whether you have the best time of your life, or the worst. Many surfers will tell you: “start on a beach break, it’s safer”. This is true, but only to a certain extent. Of course it’s better to fall on sand then on rocks or coral reef. But the truth is, there are some sandy beach breaks for advanced surfers, and some rocky point breaks for beginner surfers. To make things even more confusing, some spots can be perfect to learn on some days, and on other days only be good for experts. It all depends on the G-land Surfing wave conditions.

4 Have Someone To Show You The Basic Technique

As seen on point #1, surfing is one of the most complex and technical sports in the world. Imagine learning the wrong basic techniques and then having to “unlearn” your bad habits before you can continue your progression.

Trust us, this advice comes from inland surfers that started to dedicate their life to surf way too late in their life. Still today our coaches make us realize we’ve learned certain things the wrong way and it’s very difficult to change old habits. Bottom line is: if you’re serious about learning to surf, learn it the right way. Have an experienced friend or surf coach show you the right basics for the first few days.

5 Learn About Surf Ethics

There are many, many rules to go by in surfing at G-land Surfing: don’t paddle inside, don’t drop in, don’t snake, don’t ditch your surfboard, and so on. Bellow are the top 3 things you should focus on. If you want to know more, watch our Surf Etiquette video for the Top 9 Rules you need to know.
