The reason why men like surfing.
Surfing is an exciting sport, but it is not easy to enjoy riding the wind and waves.
Because waves are the driving force, surfing has certain requirements for waves. The height of waves should be around 1 m, and the minimum should not be less than 30 cm.
At first, you should use a bigger surfboard, with more space and good buoyancy.
Masters will choose small and light boards, so that they can better enjoy the sense of speed.
You should lie prone or kneel on the surfboard first, and row to a place suitable for waves as a starting point.
When the waves push the surfboard to slide, you should try to keep the surfboard in front of the wave peak and stand up.
Legs naturally spread back and forth. Usually, the front legs grasp the balance, the rear legs grasp the direction, and the knees slightly bend and slide with the waves.
Surfing is an exciting sport. Even people who are familiar with water and skilled should always be careful, of course, if you are just a beginner.
You should paddle with your arms most of the time, but don't be discouraged, it will at least help you lose weight.
Speaking of surfing, I have to say kite surfing is very popular in recent years.
The highest feeling that kite surfing can bring you is to jump out of the water.
Jumping on the water like a flying fish, of course, this is not easy to do, and it should be easier to get started if you have a skiing foundation.
Surfing kites use inflatable skeletons, which is a great invention for extreme sports lovers.
Because this not only makes the kite easy to put away and save, but also can take off again after falling into the water! At the beginning.
The uncertainty and incredible power of kites will bring you great pressure. When you feel out of control, following the correct operation is undoubtedly an excellent way to challenge yourself.
Basic equipment for surfing
Foot rope traction belt
This is the only thing that can guarantee your life safety when you are engaged in surfing. When you fall into the water, you can use it to find your surfboard. Your surfboard won't rush back to the shore with the waves, and it won't hit other people, so you can have a support at sea, which is generally longer than the surfboard. At present, the foot rope also needs to be designed according to different wave conditions. Generally, double bearings are better than single bearings and are less likely to be entangled.
Wax block
Waxing the surfboard can increase the friction between the surfboard and the human body, so that you can stand more stably on the surfboard and not slip! According to the annual temperature change in Taiwan Province Province, different kinds of wax are divided into base wax, cold water, warm water and tropical water.
Diving suit/rash protection suit
Cold suit diving suit
Most of them are made of a synthetic rubber (neoprene). If you want to surf when the weather is cold and the waves are good in Taiwan Province Province, you need a winter coat. Different materials, different thicknesses (3mm-5mm) and different lengths have different cold resistance. Short-sleeved ones are lighter, called dwarfs or spring clothes.
Wear clothes and prevent rash.
Even if the water temperature is not cold, surfers are likely to wear anti-wear coats, otherwise it is not very comfortable to rub on the surfboard for a long time. Other benefits of anti-wearing clothes: waterproof, warm and sun protection. A well-fitting anti-wear suit is definitely worth investing.
Anti-skid pad tracking
As mentioned before, if you don't want to wax the whole surfboard, you can paste this thing. Generally, a non-slip pad is attached to the end of the board to better control the board to do fancy movements.
Surfboard backpack
Surfboard damage is mostly in the process of handling, and the surfboard bag is to save where you accidentally hit it. There are generally two kinds of board bags, one-piece or two-piece daily bags and up to six-piece travel bags. The protection of travel is relatively thick, preventing airport porters from trampling on our precious wooden boards casually.
Nose protector
The most easily damaged parts of a surfboard are the board head and the board tail. The nose is a rubber block, which can protect your board head and protect others from being directly injured by your board.
Some surfing is controlled by sails, so a rudder is needed.
Rudder fin
Surfboard must use rudder, which is divided into single, three and five pieces. Usually, the long board uses a single large single fin, and other boards use a three-piece three-fin system. In the past two years, there have also been five pieces. Now the patented fin control system (FCS) is mostly used for the rudder, which is convenient for replacement and travel. However, the early Glass-on is also very popular with surfers, and its strength in big waves is better than FCS.
Matters needing attention in surfing
1. If you see jellyfish appearing or being bitten by them while surfing in the sea, please go ashore and have a rest.
2. When surfing in the open sea, the surfer closest to the first surfing area, if there is a crazy dog wave covering the whole row above the surfer, the surfer should quickly throw back the surfboard and quickly dive and hide.
3. When surfing in big waves, the surfer in front should keep a safe distance of three surfboards from the surfer next to, in the middle of or behind, so as to avoid the safety rope being entangled with everyone's surfboards when the crazy dog waves are submerged.
Surfers must abide by the rules of surfing take-off. One person and one wave, whoever is closest to the starting point of the wave wall will get up first. At this time, the participating surfers quickly braked or pulled the board to stop surfing.
5. Beginners should strengthen hand stroke training, physical training, foot training, forward tumbling in water and breath holding training.
6. To surf well, you must have diving skills, high morale and strong physical strength and muscles. Usually, please watch more surfing videos and magazines, surf with surfers, watch more, surf the Internet and exchange experiences with others to ensure that you can become a surfer as soon as possible.
7. When surfing, if you encounter an ocean current pulled out of the sea, just follow the direction of the ocean current and catch the waves. Never throw away the safety rope and swim back with the swimmer. Please lie on the surfboard and wait for help.
8. Pay attention to where to turn when carrying a surfboard. Put it gently on the ground. When the wind is strong, the surfboard is covered with sand when it is on the beach to avoid being blown away by the wind.
9. When you walk out of the beach with a surfboard, the angle of holding the surfboard in your hand should be straight. Never put the surfboard in front of your body to prevent the waves from hitting the surfboard and your body.
10. When the surfboard rushes back to the shore from the open sea and the water depth is about 30cm, please disembark immediately to avoid the surfboard directly hitting the stone.
1 1. When the surfboard collides with the waves, never pull the safety rope and surfboard by hand to avoid holding hands.
12. When surfing, please keep everyone at sea at the length of two surfboards.
13. Junior surfers, please pay attention to check the equipment, wax blocks, safety ropes and life jackets before launching, and warm up for 20 minutes before surfing in the sea.
14, the starting rule of surfing is to be closest to the wave collapse point. His action is to stand up first, and the surfer next to him should stop surfing. If you rush down regardless of the willy-nilly, in case of an accident, the surfer will bear all the consequences and liability for compensation.
15, the best wave shape for surfing is the wave that collapses in the middle and pushes towards the slopes on both sides. The most dangerous and worst waves are a row of waves that collapse in an instant. Please go ashore and have a rest at this time.
