AAAAHHHH! BIG WAVE!!

  Okay, so I've been telling you some good surfing tips, right? Well here's how to dodge waves. If you see a big wave, go really close to the top of your board and push it down under the water really low. This may not work the first couple of times but it will work eventually! Underwater the water is very calm. When you go under a wave it will be really calm. If your wave isn't that big, just take your arms and push yourself up. Not like surfing the wave but just stretch your arms. Push up! If you see a big wave do as shown in the picture! If you are a kid, it will be hard to push your board underneath the wave at first, but later you'll find a way!

 You see these pictures? These are BARREL waves. This is what it looks like when you in it! These are very big waves and I don't recommend it for beginners.

Deep Water and Looking for the Land

   This blog entry is about how you shouldn't go in way deep water. If you go in really deep water then you wont be able to get back to the shore that easily. If you go out too far and nobody can see you, then you might never get back. I don't mean to scare you or anything, but if you go out too far and nobody can see you, you could drown. So you should always make sure that the water doesn't go higher than your stomach.

   The water will have a drift so remember to look for a point. If you go out and you see a hot pink umbrella, then that should be your point because its bright and noticeable. If you find out that you are too much to the left or right, get out of the water, get closer to the umbrella, and get back into the water. Do this every time you drift too far, and you'll be fine.
