The Paddle
• Stay towards the back of the board– You don’t want to
“pearl.”
• But you don’t want to slide off the board either.
• Long, overhead strokes parallel to the board.
The Turtle
• Paddle out between sets.
• If a wave is about to break right over you, paddle forward and “turtle!”
• Find your way to an area just past where the waves are breaking.
The Wave
• Now it’s finally time to catch a wave.– But also it means more
paddling!
• Wait for the right wave.• Stay in front of the
wave.• Feel the wave catch you.• Most frustrating part of
surfing for beginners.
The Pearl
• Be careful not to be too far forward on the board or you will “pearl.” And it will probably hurt.
