IF YOU CAN STAND ON YOUR ON FEET YOU CAN SURF!

Updated: Nov 6, 2020


One of the biggest myths in surfing is that people think they “must” be super fit and athletic in order to learn to surf.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That’s just not true. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can be pretty much any age and nearly any weight. ⠀


I have taught a rugby player who was about 125 kg and he got up on one of our smaller learn to surf boards.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you can stand on your own two feet, you can surf ! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have taught a 3 year old little girl to surf and an 86 year old woman. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have taught people that are visually impaired, people with one leg, people with different mental challenges. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They all surfed in their own, unique way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They had fun in the ocean, they smiled and had a great time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The limits in surfing are only the ones that you set for yourself.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hit like and let's encourage everyone to go surfing !
