Surfing Etiquette In The Water


Greetings.

Does anyone loves surfing? No! No!. Not that web-surfing you nerdo! :p hehehe.. The real meaning of surfing. Well, since my hometown is just nearby the beaches, I also got 'exposed' with various beach activities. I'm not a surfer but I do know a few surfers, and even my cousin is a surfer.


Today I found a good basic info about surfing etiquette on a blog and I like to share with you guys as listed below:

  • If you are a beginner, stay at the lower section of the spot.
  • Surfers dropping in - this really pissed everyone off. Don't ever do this as this is very dangerous!
  • If you are not a strong paddler, paddle far out! Don't paddle direct to the point as you might be in the way of the surfers that is ridding the waves.
  • Don't throw your board if a waves rolls on you. Your board might hit another surfer nearby.
  • Pay RESPECT to local surfers! No matter how good or bad is your surfing skills, you can always afford a smile or a nod whenever you see a surfers.
  • Know your surfing rules before you start surfing! Get a surf lessons!
  • GUYS or GIRLS, get the right board! Don't listen to your friends if his surfing level is average only. Longboard is heavy and big to carry but for a beginner that is the best bet. You will have fun ridding the waves with it.
  • We are very happy to introduce surfing and seeing surfing in Malaysia move to the next level. We are proud to share the waves but again, please learn your way up.
