30+ tips to better surfing
If you are new to surfing or an intermediate surfer, these are a few tips you really should consider:
- Learn from other more experienced surfers. Surfing with others who are better than you is the best way to learn because better surfing is a feeling more than a technique.
- Keep your eyes open from the beach. Watch the waves. Watch other surfers.
- Having someone video you from the beach, in slow-mo, is great feedback. You can spot your bad habits and fix them early. You can learn so much by watching yourself and other better surfers in slow-mo.
- Visualize yourself surfing the perfect wave, then when surfing you can really enjoy stepping into your visualization and repeating it.
- Always be prepared to try something new. Challenge yourself by learning to adapt to different conditions.
- Consider joining a group or club, or taking lessons in a surf school.
- Teaming up with another surfer is a huge motivation for both of you.
- Do beach stretches and a ‘warm-up’ before entering the water. Take your time before catching a wave. Do not be in too much of a hurry.
- Exercise for flexibility and short bursts of explosive power.
- Learn the correct etiquette for the beach you are on, so you do not make enemies of the locals.
- There are ideal boards for different conditions, with a range of shapes, sizes, rockers, and fins. Finding the right board for you and the conditions makes ALL the difference.
- Start BIG with a larger board.
- Start with SMALL waves.
- Give the more experienced surfers space.
- While standing on the beach assess the spot where you want to surf. Through practice and experience, you will learn how to choose the right break.
- Walk along the beach directly adjacent to the spot, and then turn around with your back to the water. You will see the shore as you will later see it from the water, only closer. To get your bearings look for landmarks so you can use them later as reference points to find your spot while out in the water. I have a favorite swimming hole in a coastal reef which no one else seems to know about. As I walk along the beach I reference landmarks according to a clock, assuming the shoreline is at the center of the face of a clock. My landmarks are at 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock. The tides, sand and the surf are always changing, but those landmarks never move. I can find the exact place to enter the water every time to avoid submerged rocks. In the same way, when you are in the water you can find the exact place to catch the best waves – at 6 o’clock.
- Be prepared to get exhausted as you power paddle with elbows high and hands as deep as possible in the water, with long powerful strokes.
- Never go full attack at a wave at the start. Instead, take it slow and easy and build up to it.
- It is better to catch the wave on the peak than the flatter shoulder.
- Stay close to the pocket, and try ripping steeper shoulders.
- Keep your head centered over the body for balance and go where you are looking.
- Use your arms for balance too.
- Turn the head first, then upper body, hips, and legs.
- Keep low. Bend at the knees, not the back. It will give you better balance, better turns, better surfing, and helps to absorb shocks.
- Be prepared for wipe-outs. They will happen over and over again.
- Be humble and be prepared to ask questions of better surfers. You will win respect that way.

10 year old boy (a grommet) surfing. Better Surfing. - Be prepared to push yourself, and to look silly because that is the fastest way to learn. The real competition is with your own mind.
- You can generate speed by throwing your arms forward and decompressing and compressing up and down the face of the wave. You can get extra speed by stepping forward.
- The sweet spot on a board is just forward of the fins, on the top of course.
- Enjoy yourself and have fun whatever mood you are in on the day.
- Focus and visualize.
- Use sunblock to prevent sunburn.
- Seriously consider doing a First Aid course, so that you know what to do if the unexpected happens. Imagine how you would feel if one of your mates was killed by a shark in front of you, and you did not know how you could have saved his life in those vital first few minutes.

‘Welcome’ Subliminal Affirmations: Welcome Better Surfing
Just like Homer Simpson, we all have those intrusive thoughts from time-to-time. If we choose to listen to them and tag them with emotion, they can become more powerful. When we add self-talk – they can grab control by becoming deep unconscious beliefs. These beliefs drive our behaviors. We call automatic behaviors – habits.
So which thoughts do you choose to listen too? The ‘good’ which are focused upon happiness, and better surfing? Or, the ‘bad‘ which are focused upon past fears and anxiety?
Also because we all have different listening preferences, Welcome Masculine Spirituality has a choice of foreground variants for you to choose from. ‘Click here’ to hear samples.

Hipno Hop Rap; I am a Better Surfer
Rhythmic, rhyming Rap speaks to the ‘street culture’ across different genders, ages, languages, nationalities, races and religions. They may not understand or trust ‘therapy’, and ‘hypnosis’. But they do understand Rap. In time, these therapeutic Hipno Hop Raps become new deep unconscious beliefs leading to new positive behaviors and emotions. They are hypnotically powerful.

Internet Hypnosis dot Shop – Rap Song; Lyrics
“Rhythmic Hipno Hop Rap is hypnosis.
Mind control is the prognosis.
Listen to my words and the sound of my voice.
As you listen and learn you have no choice.
I listen to the words. They have changed my life.
Like cutting butter with a hot knife.
Negativity gone. Positivity on. I have the power.
Bright. Reaching higher and higher to the light every hour.
I listen and chant Hipno Hop Rap everyday.
It has changed my life in a positive way.
My rhymes manifest bigger than ever before.
My similes and metaphors hit hard like the law.
I listen to the words. They have changed my life.
Like cutting butter with a hot knife.
Negativity gone. Positivity on. I have the power.
Bright. Reaching higher to the light every hour.
Only Internet Hypnosis dot Shop elevates my brain.
Learning Hipno Hop Rap is a whole new game.
With repeated focus it all becomes clear
I share Hipno Hop secrets with friends no fear.”
Hipno Hop Rap Text; Welcome Better Surfing

Visualizing myself doing it my own way.
Stepping into my mind, it’s like a dream.
In reality, it’s as real as it seems.

Surfing consistently, my skills amplify.
Clear in the mind, relaxed in the body.
I am a better surfer now, no longer shoddy.”
