TAKING LESSONS CONT...
 Firstly
you'll just learn to paddle on your board - it's not too hard and it's the start
of getting your balance correctly on the board. Then you'll start to paddle with
an incoming wave and you'll feel such a rush that you'll just want to stand up
straight away - but I don't advise it - I broke my nose on my board a few times
before I got the hang of it.
When you've finally mastered the beginnings you'll take
your first stand on a small wave. You'll think you're the king of the world! Then
you'll promptly fall off and swim your way out again.
SUNSET COVE SURFERS
Surfers strolling down the streets in Sunset Cove are
not necessarily surfers. Surfing is just the coolest thing in town so even if
you just own a board and walk with it down the street occasionally then you're
part of the "it" crowd.
Then there's the people who you might think are the posers
but are in fact accomplished surfers. Commander Vermont is one of the best surfers
in Sunset Cove! Would you believe!?
Josh is a fantastic surfer too and I've tried to convince
Giles to take some lessons from him. Giles isn't interested in surfing. He thinks
he's not tanned enough or something - but I think it might clear up his zits if
he ever gave it a chance.
Five ways to look cool
while you're surfing
- Place your sunglasses
on your head - not on your face
- Make sure you
overdo your fake tan - it will keep you more protected from the sun and you'll
look like you've spent hours out in the sun on your board.
- Practice the
"stance" - one arm in front of you and one arm behind you.
- If you've got
it flaunt it if you haven't cover it - bikini's versus wetsuits.
- If there's a
cute guy or girl surfer near by, fall off your board and feign injury - they'll
come to your rescue if you're lucky

SURFING
MYTHS
Surfing will not put hairs on your chest - and if it does then I suggest
you wax it off pronto!
Surfing
will not always win you the girl/boy - but it sure can help!
Surfing in a wave pool is not
cooler than surfing in the sea. Don't listen to anyone that tells you otherwise.
Alien's don't surf - no matter how much they want
to borrow your board - don't let them!
