I am guessing that "Stay out of the fkn way" may rate highly, but what other pieces of advice (useful or otherwise) have you been given?
Scott.
|
|
|
Turn the paddle around the other way  |
|
|
If its a bit windy then paddle into it first!!!! Nuff said.
|
|
|
Leg rope optional in crowded line up of SB's  |
|
|
|
|
|
"look UP! stop lookin' at your fkn board!"
|
|
|
Don't do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Thats my advice 
|
|
|
"bigger board give way to smaller boards so don't worry about the SB's.."
|
|
|
|
"Share the waves", "don't sup waves where there are kids in front of you" & "don't skimp on a leggy" (which was followed by "ya tightarse!").
|
|
|
|
|
|
Best to give it up and go back to longboarding  |
|
|
Get a 14' downwind board and do some training

Invest in a good paddle, you wont regret it.  |

The best surfing advice was given to me by Woogie 4 years ago when I was surfing out at 1st point Noosa , he told me to slow down and not rush the turns, be patient. He was given the same advice when he was in Hawaii the year before. It really works try it.

I wondered why I wasnt going forward

paddle down the beach away from the crowds and have the waves to yourself.
enjoy the stoke!

Spot on Piros, don't rush in general. Always stuff it up when I rush

Sounds llike a new year's resolution.
Hard to keep tho.

"Put the paddle all the way in and then you pull"
"Pull the paddle parallel to the centreline instead of the rail"
"Have the shaft as vertical as possible, it will help you go straight"
Improved my racing out of sight
|
|
|
Try some bigger fins, it holds on rail better
|
|

Try to ignore negative comments from dick head shortboarders especially those on sup forums

A "mature" lady in Noosa told me "look down, go down!"..... mmmmmm..... was she talking to me???

Be careful who you take advice from. I had been getting some good tips from my "coach" when i first started ie bending my knees a little,how and where to stand & how to use my paddle, it's all going really good til one day this clown who i've never seen before comes up to me and says i'm doing it all wrong,i need to stand straight up and be rigid!! I get clowns like this trying to give me tips all the time. I may struggle a bit when it's crowded but unlike some "Silly Billy's" i know the "road rules" |
