Teens make good surfers because they lead active lives, are still flexible, and generally have good power to weight ratios. These are all important attributes for successful learning.

Teens make good surfers also because they are active learners. Learning in school and learning to dance, and learning other sports makes them inclined to pick up the novel movements of surfing better than someone who has be sedentary for years.

What Teens Learn Surfing

The most important thing for surfers is to first become comfortable in the ocean. Waves can be intimidating when lying on a surf board. Learning to catch waves, paddle through them, get turned over by waves, and feeling the rhythm are all part of falling in love with surfing.

The paddling for surfing is where the exercise exists. Surfers paddle to catch waves, then paddle out to find the next one and then paddle again to catch a wave. Teens learn the value of strength, stamina, and then probably how nutrition is important for both.

Surfing is a connection with the ocean and Mother Nature. It makes many feel there is a God or super force. The ocean is calming because one can settle into the rhythms and feel the awesomeness even if it isn’t a great wave day. Many people venture to surf before work and school just to make the connection.

Surfing is a culture. In the early days that culture was related to drugs and mischief. Now it is a culture of appreciation and cooperation. Surfers treat each other with respect in the line up. Surfers pick up trash off the beach. Surfers want the ocean to be clean and safe for creatures.

Introducing teens to the ocean is very rewarding and should be encouraged.
