How do i properly drop in/ take off in bigger surf?
We had good swell come in this weekend. I surf here in the Philippines, we hit up Zambales.
Saturday, we were getting small clean waves, 3ft - 4ft (between waist and shoulder height), i really enjoyed that session.
Come Sunday, we hit a different spot, it was bigger and clean but the waves were really heavy. It reached a good 6ft - 7ft. I had no problems getting out, i made it out to the line up.
I was just wondering, if there is any specific way on how to drop in or take off in bigger waves, couldn't get myself to take the 6ft drop.
Is it all in the head? i was terrified on wiping out on the wave and getting knocked under the wave.
I need tips/ advice on how to take that initial drop! please help!
a "bigger wave" is no different than a smaller wave. you paddle your hardess and then jump up.
don't look back, just paddle.
the trick with bigger waves is timing. you have to catch it right before it breaks. with bigger waves onces you know you cought it stand up (not to early or it will just pass you), stand up and cruise down the face of the wave. then turn and surf it in!
make sure when you paddle your hands are tite to the board, this makes every stroke count that much more.
have fun on the big ones.
