Why Take Surf Lessons in Oceanside

People ask why take surf lessons in Oceanside while on vacation. Oceanside is a premium location to learn surfing because of the beach break. Waves break outside and then there is a long foam wave that is perfect for beginners to ride.

Lots of people working remotely now are learning to surf while living in Oceanside. There is not a lot to do for kids and adults trapped in their homes going to school and working remotely. Surfing gets everyone outside and exercised.

What You Learn in a Surf Lesson

Surfing is a lot about rhythm and timing which a new student does not understand. Students trying to learn on their own do not understand. The process is a smooth sequence from catching the wave to popping up on the surfboard.

When the surfer sees a foam wave arriving, they wait until it is about 20 feet away and then they roll over perfectly balanced on their surf board and begin paddling. When the wave is about to touch the rear of the surf board, the student paddles hard for about three sets of paddles.

The point of paddling hard is to accelerate ahead of the foam before putting hands on the surfboard. Then, hands are placed in a man’s push up position next to the chest. The surfer pushes up and puts his back foot on the board flat and under his butt.

The students rises on that back foot releasing his hands at the same time and moves is other foot to the front of the surf board. The posture has to be feet shoulder width apart with hips and shoulders square to the front of the surf board.

At this point, the surfer should be riding easily to the beach. Taking surf lessons in Oceanside allows the beginner to then start paddling out to bigger foam waves and small real waves. The surfer can progress gradually without having to face waves too big for their skill level.
