Adults Learning to Surf

Adults learning to surf is becoming more common in the covid era. Especially adults working remotely from other cities decide while they are in Oceanside, they might as well learn how to surf.

If they have the opportunity to take a few lessons they can move from beginner to catching real waves. One adult male in his 30’s was catching real waves on his second one hour lesson. Many are in Oceanside for just a week before they move to a new territory to work remotely.

The Steps to Surf

The 10 minute dry land portion explains the safety of handling the surfboard in the water and practice with the pop ups. The water portion begins in waist deep water with the instructor pushing the student into foam waves.

In this portion, the student is learning to pop up on the board and ride to the beach. After this is learned, the student learns to ride out through the foam wave and turn around to catch a foam wave. This prepares them for bigger foam waves and catching real waves.

At this point, if the student is proficient at catching foam waves and has the courage, they can begin to catch real waves. Real waves have different timing and a different feel.

Students learn that catching foam waves and real waves use the same pop up technique. Paddling is also similar. Timing to get the arc of the real wave is where foam and real are different.

Most adults that are active with some aerobics, physical work outs, and flexibility exercises find learning to surf relatively easy. Most people say it is more difficult than they expected and more tiring than they expected. Surfing often builds the paddling stamina and helps develop the timing.

The new Omicron variants can often sidestep the anti-bodies in vaccinations. This is when we need to have a strong immunity system. This is when people with underlying conditions like obesity or chronic metabolic disorders like diabetes become vulnerable.

Developing good health habits will help your immune system. The main components would be to attain a healthy weight. Eat healthy. Exercise, Get adequate sleep. Mitigate stress. Drink half your body weight in water oz (a 200-pound person drinks 100 oz.) Consider supplements for the nutrients you may not consume in your daily diet.

One of my favorites is the Rishi mushroom. It has been chronicled in Chinese medicine for thousands of years. It supports the major systems. It fights viruses, bacteria, allergies, and inflammation. I get a compilation of 5 reishi mushrooms extracted and combined into one powder. You can get a discount as my client with this link.
