If you need to go on e-how to learn how to surf, you are a kook. If you are just randomly browsing around e-how, well i do that when I'm bored too, kook. The catigory "extreme surfing" is prety lame but although surffing is an art there is no logical way that someone would find this article here.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

  • skill, a board, a leash (optional), and a wetsuit or trunks.

Step1
first: learn how to paddle. Practice paddling around when it's flat and when it sucks in the water. Make sure you go out when you won't be in the way of actual surfers, its really annoying.
Step2
second: after learning how to paddle you should practice in the white wash. practice trying to catch it and standing on it. practice maintaining your balance. don't go to the line up if you suck, you'll just get in the way.
Step3
step 3: make you're you learn common etiquette. don't snake anybody, if you snake a wave from somebody you're risking a whupping. don't get in front of someone riding on a wave. and don't act like a hot shot when you're a kook (especially a longboard kook).

Tips & Warnings

  • keep surfing and gradually get into bigger and better surf but make sure to shed your kookdom. nothing's worse than a barney that thinks he could surf. but gradually gett better and better learn the in's and outs of the water, study the ocean, learn moves and learn about waves. MOST IMPORTANTLY: RESPECT ALL OCEAN CREATURES. you are in THEIR domain.
  • you might get beat up or yelled at, especially if you're a kook with no common sense who thinks he's some Johnny hotshot, longboard Larry.
