If you want to learn something new, you want to find the very best teacher. At Surf With Amigas, we’re dedicated to assembling the very best staff. We pay more per week than a lot of other camps pay per month, which means we get great instructors (all girls who love to surf and travel) who are very excited and motivated to help you learn – whether it’s in the water, on your yoga mat, or over a fruity cocktail while soaking in the pool. Learn to surf better, improve your yoga practice, and gain new perspective on life, love, and happiness with Surf With Amigas.
In this video a recent Amiga shares what she learned from the staff this week.

How To Avoid Wipeouts – A Couple More Paddles!

on By

Anastasia Ashley and I use to do battle over 1st place finishes back in our amateur days. We have since become good friends although I don’t get a chance to surf with her very much anymore. So it was with a mixture of competitive “ha ha!” and friendly “yikes!” that I watched this video of her getting destroyed by a late drop at a gnarly reef pass in Micronesia.

I then thought that it was an entertaining and instructive video on what not to do. If you notice in the clip, the problem is that she doesn’t fully get into the wave before standing up. She takes a few paddles and pushes to her feet, but the wave hollows out beneath her, and she air drops, landing in the flats, and then face plants and bounces as the wave swallows her.

What could she have done? Taken a few more paddles! If you watch her try to stand up at the top of the wave, she gets held up in the lip for a second. On a wave like that you really need to paddle down the face a bit. Even in “normal” waves, it’s a trend I see a lot with Amigas – trying to stand up too soon before they are really into the wave. If this is a recurring problem for you, try taking a few more paddles! The next time you’re out surfing, think about it. Take as many paddles as you normally do, and then take a few more before you stand up.
Feel free to come back, leave a comment and let us know how it worked out for you!
Happy shredding!
