3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.
Board Volume Matters
Choose enough volume for your weight — under-volumed boards frustrate beginners.
Leash Always On
Attach leash before entering water — loose boards injure others in the lineup.
Wax the Deck
Apply fresh wax before every session — slippery decks cause wipeouts.
Safety Notes
- Never surf alone — always have someone watching.
