yesterday at Maria's i decided to stick to the white water ...... inside ... waves that had already broke. a few experienced surfers have mentioned this way to learn to surf ..... but actually not that many people recommend it. after doing it three different days .... i WOULD DEFINITELY recommend giving it a try.
- excellent work out to build your surfing strength - instead of sitting and waiting for a wave you pretty much keep paddling and trying to catch something
- you don't have to worry about as many elements ...... when catching a wave before it breaks i believe you have to be in the right position and the wave has to be 'a good one'. but when you catch the wave after it has crashed you can concentrate on your pop-up and riding only
i had a blast on the inside .... if the waves stay over 3ft i'll probably do it a few more days before giving the lineup a try again. the only drawback i saw to surfing the inside is saying a quick 'hi' to all your friends as they paddle past you for the lineup!!! good for keeping the ego 'in check'!!!!
