SURFING IS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE. THE BEST PLACES FOR SURFING

in #surfing6 years ago

Surfing - is one of the varieties of sports tourism - way to travel on the waves with the help of a light board. Surfing for the first time appeared 3-4 thousand years ago in Hawaii. In this way, local fishermen brought their catch to shore.

Skate on the board in Hawaii could only members of the royal family, the common man was waiting for such volnichestvo serious and cruel punishment. Europeans almost destroyed the surf, because they believed that sport is not a noble and tried to eradicate it.

The first surfboards were about 5 meters in length, about 60 cm in thickness.

Dawn surfing as an internationally popular sport and favorite hobbies earthlings began in the 20th century. Boards are lighter, thinner and shorter. first competition appeared. In the mid-20th century boom in surfing hobbies occurred in California.

Now surfing is not only a sport but also a way of life with its traditions, fashion, music. Surfing can show what you really stand !!!!

And now I would like to debunk a few myths associated with surfing
It's easy !!! Can often be found in the Internet advertising statements that you can learn to surf for 10 days without any preparation! No matter how true! As shown, the necessary preliminary physical training - Bring yourself into shape !!! What it is desirable to do before learning to surf? First of all, it's swimming ( "GROW" his gills will be very useful!), Shake hands and feet, running, stretching (pilates, yoga).

"I had a great swim!". Believe me, if you are not CCM swimming and swim the longest time in the pool and soon his friend in the river - it's not enough for surfing !!! Brush up swimming!

Surfboards will be given easy! Especially if you are riding on a snowboard ... do these sports a lot, but most of the snowboarders - a self-taught ... It is not enough when it comes to surfing! Knowledge of snowboarding even interfere in the development of boards on the water slide.

Skate on the board can be yourself. Unless you are Hawaiian (which is to learn to slide before going), then put your trust in an experienced instructor who not only learn how to ride, but also give the opportunity to fall in love with this sport.

The best places for surfing
Thus, places where you can learn how to conquer the waves set. The choice depends on the availability of money and time: Portugal, Dominican Republic, Portugal, Hawaii, on. Bali, Morocco, Australia, Canary Islands, Ecuador, the Maldives, California. You can meet skiers Chasing Mavericks in Russia near St. Petersburg and even in the south of England !!!

One of the best places to slip - Hawaii. Here, even in the school physical education program taught by surfing! Popular places here - Waikiki in Honolulu, Pipeline, Sunset (there are waves of up to 10 meters).
