#1 Rule : Surf
with Responsibility & Respect
A great surfing experience is when you are able to ride at least
(1) One really "killer"
wave, (2) Two really "Great" waves and (3+) three or more "OK" waves with in a
90 minute time period with no conflicts or injuries.
Rule number #2 is to Never "Drop-In" Front of anyone!
Dropping
in on someone is when you get in the way of the surfer on the main "peak"
of the wave. If a surfer is coming towards you, and you are on the "shoulder",
you can ruin a wave for both you and the surfer, and is very dangerous and costly.
This happens all the time, but mostly on accident. One simple thing to prevent
this is to look for the surfers around you.
Waves tend to show every minute but good one show up every five minutes and twenty to forty five minutes for the the better ones; so it can
be hard to share the good waves that you can enjoy.
If you are a beginner you should consider a few things before paddling out.
Is there a lot of surfers out?
You should learn as far away as possible from others.
How are the conditions, and the surroundings?
Pay attention to rip-tides and other Hazards.
Is there a lifeguard nearby?
It is highly recommend to learn as close to a lifeguard tower as possible.
