Introduction

Before you read this book you need to know a couple of things. I am not a surf instructor and I am not a professional surfer. I am a guy who loves to surf and has been doing so for the past 20 years. Having recently spent 6 months working as a Surf Guide I decided to update this book with some extra information and thoughts on learning to surf and how to handle yourself in the water. The tips in this guide are things that have personally helped me become what I hope is a better surfer. It’s the little things like how you are moving your head, or some other tiny adjustment that suddenly open up previously unachievable manoeuvres to you. You can know the theory of how to do something but it might not be until someone gives you a small suggestion that it finally comes together.

Though I mainly ride shortboard surfboards, the suggestions and walk-throughs in this book transfer to all other sizes and styles of surfboard.

I hope that what you are about to read will
