Oceanside Surf Lessons Begin Surfing Life for so many locals and vacationers. Many people have surfed in their past but forget what they learned. Many have had it on their bucket list. Others are looking for fun outdoor recreation.
Surfing is a great beach activity. People who don’t live at the beach dream about it during the year and it is one of the favorite family vacations. Camping is fun, but that involves camping. Beach goers want nice accommodations for their vacation.
The Benefit of Surf Lessons
When I started at the age of 16, I did not have the benefit of surf lessons. I spent the summer driving to the beach at Malibu and didn’t learn how to surf. Over the years I gradually got the idea but didn’t really improve until I moved to Oceanside where I could surf every day.
Surfing is more technical than anyone realizes and not as easy as it looks in the movies. Even given the right techniques in the dry land lesson, new students often struggle with the preciseness required.
A surfboard is designed for performance. It is therefore sensitive to where you place your weight, because weight is what makes it go straight or carve. Catching a wave, doing a pop up and landing in the right stance are all timing and rhythm.
A surfing body is strong, flexible, and has stamina. All the body parts contribute to a smooth transition from laying down to standing up while moving 10 mph on a relatively unstable platform. Balance is not as important as technique. Most people have adequate balance.
At the end of a lesson, most people are riding a surfboard or know what to do so they can practice on their own or spend time on their vacation renting a board and having fun. New students can progress as fast as they are capable of learning. It is an individual challenge with no ceiling to what can be accomplished.
