This exercise can make you look kind of ridiculous, but it can make a big difference and be very efficient. Go into the pool until the water reaches your neck. It’s a jumping exercise. Think about jumping like a frog. Pull your knees up sideways, automatically your legs and feet will move. Do a first series slowly, about 15 times, and the second one fast, also 15 times. Try to jump as high as possible. Do this exercise every day and will get rid of your horse panties within two months.    

In the water, watching the waves closely, you have to watch a series to be able to see how they break. Knowing how to correctly take your position in the water is an essential step in learning to surf and is too often badly taught by teachers. The duration of a single ride on a wave is often less than 10 seconds. Between waiting for waves in the water and compete with other surfers, the time surfers stand up on their board will hardly exceed the minute of an hour session. Meanwhile the waves do not stand still. Keep moving to keep your body active and avoid catching a cold. Stay informed, choose a slightly softer wave if this appears to work better for your moves. To get started and practise your technique you have to start with smaller waves.
