Families Learn Surfing on Foam Waves
The Oceanside Surf is Great for Families to Learn Surfing on Foam Waves. Foam waves break close to the beach so everyone surfs together. The water is not too deep even for the kids. Everyone is in waist deep water.
The beauty of foam waves is they are easy to learn fundamentals. Many people after lessons are content to ride foam waves for the rest of their vacation and all trips to the beach. If the lesson is taken early in the vacation, there is time to practice and have fun. Marks Surf Instruction strives to make students independent so they can practice on their own.
The Fundamentals Learned in the First Surf Lesson
The goal, as stated, is to make students independent so they can practice on their own. The student learns safety in the water, how to handle the surfboard so it doesn’t hit them, catching waves, popping up, and riding straight to the beach.
Lessons begin on dry land where the fundamentals of safety and popping up are learned. The students learn the beginner pop up that is also used by many pro surfers. Pros are just smoother and faster. The student paddles to catch the wave and then places his hands in a man’s push up position next to his chest. He pushes and moves one foot (the right foot for most) under his butt flat on the board. Then he stands on the foot as he moves his other foot to the front.
The correct riding position is feet shoulder width apart. Weight is equal on the front and back leg and the torso is upright. Most important, the hips and shoulders are square to the front so the body is equally weighting the left and right side of the surfboard. The knees are flexed to absorb shocks.
After beginners have mastered these fundamentals, they can start paddling out through the foam waves to catch bigger foam waves and then real waves. Not all students are catching real waves on their first lesson, but they can practice on vacation and maybe get there in a few days.
