Make the most out of your surf vacations. Here are some hints that can help if you are merely a surfing beginner. Surf boards have been made to float on the water with a natural center of gravity.

You have to determine the balancing point and lie chest down on the board. You have to find the mark right at your chin. This will be your reference point so the board will react to your weight.
Never paddle with both arms at the same time. This may cause the board to pick up speed up and slow down. You may find it hard to keep up steady hull speed through the water. When you paddle, use one arm first followed by the other. Do this alternately so you can achieve constant speed. This will enable you to hold onto that wave.

The next step is to become skilled in sitting on the board. Remain still and make less movement. It will be easier for you to learn this and enhance your skills as you go along. If you want to stand up on the board, stretch out on your chest with the head up. Push your upper torso upward and sweep your feet below you. Position these on the board with the line down the center so your weight is well-balanced. Keep low as you come up since standing upright will cause you to fall.  When you master all these steps, you can now ride the waves and enjoy your surf vacations.
