Surf Lessons

There are two kinds of surfers, the hunters and the hunted, and Spot X is what you are hunting. It’s about paddling to the wave rather than just taking waves that come to you. It means you’ll have a greater success rate when you try to catch waves and you’ll always have priority on a busy day. It take awareness and agility in the water but it’s a skill you can practice right from the first day you paddle out the back.
