How to Catch a Wave in 60 Seconds

Start paddling early

Once you pick your wave, turn and paddle before it gets to you.

Late paddle  =  you miss it.

Match the wave’s speed

Paddle strong and smooth.

If you’re still slow when it lifts you, you won’t catch it.

Look where you want to go

Don’t stare at the nose of the board. Eyes down the line.

POP UP WHEN YOU FEEL THE LIFT

When you feel the wave pick up your board, that’s the moment.

One motion. Don’t kneel first.

You don’t need a perfect takeoff.

You need timing. Paddle early. Commit.

              Look down the line.
