The Advantage of Surfing on Vacations
When I teach Surf Lessons in Oceanside USA, my students are from all over the world.
Once you learn how to practice, you can take that knowledge to Hawaii, Mexico, Portugal, and so many other great surf destinations.
You Don’t Need Anything But a Wet suit to Learn
In the summer, you don’t even need a wet suit. Water temperatures are over 70 degrees. In the winter, the water temperatures don’t drop below 60 degrees most to of the time and a wet suit is adequate for staying warm.
Instructors bring the surf boards. If you want to practice after your instruction, there are surf board rentals you can access all week.
Get in Shape for Your Surfing Vacation
You can be surfing on your vacation with just a little physical preparation. Stretching is good for any activity. For surfing, you want to loosen up your hamstrings, buttocks, and lower back. Some side to side twisting is also good. You want to be flexible for executing the pop up and not getting hurt with strange falls.
Upper body strength is important so start doing push ups. If you belong to a gym you are probably already doing upper body weights. Add cables for paddling strength.
Aerobics are also important for any vigorous sport. They help with sudden exertions and recovery.
Surfing on Vacation is a Spiritual Experience
Surfers often go into the water just to “get wet” as they say. There is something special about being in the water, feeling the sun and ocean breezes that makes you feel at one with the earth.
Surfing on vacations can help you make that connection with every place you visit.
