intermediates
The most important thing when we get to intermediate surf is catching waves. When we are beginners, it is not really an issue because we just need to go straight in the whitewater, that makes going with a number of people on the same wave possible.
Intermediate surfing is different, because we don’t surf whitewater anymore, we surf the face of the wave, right where it is about to break (right or left) as we can see in the pictures down below. This is the place where more energy is flowing, the sweet spot, so in order to ride the wave as effortless as possible, we want to stay here. This new context makes sharing a wave really hard, the ideal is to be on it by yourself.
Then, which wave do I catch? Where do I sit? When can I go or not? What makes a wave mine and how do I keep a respectful environment while I’m surfing? These are some of the things I will help you understand so you can build your confidence and surf a lot more comfortable, especially when you have people around you.
Knowing how to read the waves is key and that’s primarily what we are going to work at. After understanding this and if you are ready, I can explain to you how carves, snaps, floaters, barrels, etc. work. But there is no way we can practice any of those if we don’t get the chance, that means, if we don’t get the wave.
