Surf schools all over the world are aimed at teaching students the proper techniques for how to surf. Our Costa Rica surf school is no different. The surf instructors here are on the lookout for common beginner mistakes which may inhibit the surf student’s initial success. The surf instructors take the time to correct these mistakes so that our students may have a successful learning vacation in Costa Rica!
It is second nature for those who have been surfing for a long time to surf without thinking about their form, however if beginner surf students aren’t corrected immediately they may acquire some bad habits, which can prevent them from becoming the great surfers they are meant to be.
One thing that seems to help our novice surfers is an awareness of their all too common blunders early on. I asked head surf instructor, Ricardo, what the 5 most common mistakes in surfing were. Ricardo readily rattled off the top five mistakes he sees students make daily- and they go as follows:
2. Hunching forward. Surf schools will always give students the same common instruction to bend their knees once they have
4. Getting up using their knees when they haven’t been instructed to do so. Surf students who are in shape and strong enough
5. Not listening to the instructors. This one seems like it would be fairly obvious, after all, why would a surf student not listen to their knowledgeable instructor? But alas, sometimes students either think they know better or feel more comfortable doing things their own way. Listen to your instructors, their experience and guidance will have you surfing like a veteran in no time.
