Surf tips

types of surfing  surfing: Classic surfing is based on paddling a wave, standing up and performing a series of turns, maneuvers and tricks, thanks to the push of the wave itself. There are three categories depending on the type of surfboard we use: -Shortboard: It is based on performing maneuvers and sudden turns on the board in waves of different sizes and profiles, allowing greater control over the wave, ducking under the waves and performing more difficult tricks. -Funboard: They have greater maneuverability, more stability and buoyancy making them perfect to start surfing in a surf course. -Longboard: In these tables the maneuvers are quite different, since variations of the position of the feet are made and not only of the weight of our body. In this way we ourselves walk on the board and perform different tricks. Paddle surf/SUP: It consists of surfing standing up on a long and larger board with the help of an oar. In this way, it allows us to increase speed and maneuver in a sim

 How is a wave measured? To measure the size of a surf wave, we can rely on some more or less scientific methods that will help us with this task, which are: oceanographic buoys: It involves using the information collected by buoys floating in the water. In case you didn't know, they have an accelerometer inside, whose function is to record what is happening in the ocean. It is an electromechanical device that has the ability to measure acceleration and movement that occurs in three directions, that is, when the buoy goes up, down or moves sideways, although it is not a simple process, but rather calculates through the movement in distance, which allows to find out the height . satellites: It consists of using data obtained through satellites. In such a case, the radar signal allows pointing down, which generates a reflection that is transmitted. It is a different mechanism from the previous one, since it allows a more global observation and not as particular as it happens with the

   types of surfboards Gun: The “Gun” is a surfboard design created exclusively for big waves and most surfers never ride these boards in conditions other than XL waves. We are talking about waves of 6 or maybe 12 meters high. They are long boards from 6'6 to 10 feet. Longboard: Longboards are boards designed for small waves, they are the best weapon for waves of half a meter because of their large size they are easy to stabilize, easy to stand up and easy to row. The models in this table can be from 8 to 12 feet, most are usually close to 10 feet. Depending on the size of the table it will take you a long time to be able to handle it and turn with it. They are difficult boards to maneuver but they slide through the wave effortlessly, that is the main charm of these boards. Mini Malibu: The “Mini Malibu” or “Mini Mal” style surfboard, also known as a “funboard” is a very universal board. It is a table very similar to the longboard but let's say it is a pocket edition, a smaller

SURF  What is surfing? The first thing we have to be clear about is knowing what surfing is. According to the RAE, surfing, from the English "to surf" is "a nautical sport consisting of keeping your balance on top of a special board that moves on the crest of the waves." Therefore, surfing is essentially defined as a water sport, which consists of sliding on top of a board on the waves. So far it seems simple, but the basis of surfing is to stay on our board as long as possible. In this way we can stand up on the board, make walls or perform different maneuvers, turns or tricks supported by the force of the waves. Fundamental rules 1. Priority:  The priority in surfing is something to keep in mind if you want to have a calm and pleasant day of surfing. If you are not a local, (assiduous person to catch waves in that place) just wait your turn giving preference to said locals that are at the peak. Wait patiently for your turn. Despite the fact that there is less and
