Suddenly the foaming whitewater of the wave arrives, and the board surges forward. Pause briefly to let the board settle into its new trajectory, then pop up to a standing position, just the way you practiced on the beach. Remember, knees bent, head up, arms out for balance. Enjoy it, revel in it, ride it in. You’re doing it, for real. At the end of the ride, or before you go aground, hop off the board. If you teeter and feel like you will fall before this happens, remember that the reason the wave is broken and foaming along is because the water is quite shallow, so don’t pitch off headfirst (this is equivalent to diving steeply into the shallow end of a swimming pool).
You’re doing it, for real. At the end of the ride, or before you go aground, hop off the board. If you teeter and feel like you will fall before this happens, remember that the reason the wave is broken and foaming along is because the water is quite shallow, so don’t pitch off headfirst (this is equivalent to diving steeply into the shallow end of a swimming pool). You also don’t want to fall in front of your board, or you risk getting hit by the board. Keep yourself safe by falling flat rather than plunging, and cover your head with both arms.
In so doing you have pushed yourself and the board underwater and presented a bulky, angled surface to the wave energy, which pushes you and the board down farther. Your arms will be bent, your hands locked either side onto the forward rails of the board, and your body now prone and straight, “flowing” parallel to the board. Now straighten your arms a bit to move your body aft along the board, while pulling the nose up to angle toward the surface. Some surfers help this with a push of the foot or knee on the aft part of the board.
