Wave Selection

As a beginner you should start by catching broken waves or white waves, the waves you shouldn't be catching are know as unbroken waves or green waves.

A broken wave is one that has already broken or crumbled and is now rolling in towards the beach. Start off by catching smaller waves and progress to slightly larger waves with more power.

When selecting waves look out to the horizon and pick a wave that is further out, do not rush and decide to catch a wave when it is only one metre in front of you. Give yourself time and prepare yourself.
