How To: Surf

First off, you need to buy/ rent a decent board, as well as some surf wax. You need to take the block of wax and spread it on the surface of your board. This will give your feet better grip. Next, you need to walk the board out into the ocean until you're deep enough to get on and paddle. While lying on the board, paddle out with your hands until you are behind the area where the waves are breaking. Sit for a while facing the shore, and when you notice a big wave swelling up behind you, start paddling towards the coast. When you feel the wave pushing you, hop up on both feet, and stand. It is important to land on both feet evenly, so to better keep your balance. Once you're up, maintaining balance is all there is to it.
