Today we have three exciting surf tricks for you that will take your UP STREAM surfing experience to a new level. Whether you're just starting out or already experienced, these tricks will help you get into the bay safely, get on your surfboard gracefully, and start surfing with ease.
- How to get out of the river safely again
Many people ask us how easy or difficult it actually is to paddle or swim back out of the river. Our tip: it's important not to fight the current. Just paddle with the current at a 45 degree angle towards the shore and the water will do the rest. Take advantage of the moment when it just pushes you into the bay by itself. This way you can easily get back to dry land. But don't worry, if you run out of strength, our rescue coach is waiting for you a few meters away.
2. how to get on your surfboard perfectly
Getting up on the surfboard can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, but with this trick you'll easily master it. Start by sitting on both knees and holding the dumbbell. Then extend one leg forward so that your foot protrudes slightly more than your knee. Place your feet in line and then press up with momentum. You can also hold the dumbbell with one hand and push yourself up with the other. Make sure you don't fully extend your knees when you're at the top so you can better maintain your balance.
3. how to surf against the current
With us there is no classic wakeboard start. Instead, you stand up just before your surf buddy pulls the sail, so to speak, before we start our natural engine. This gives you the best control and allows for a smooth launch. Make sure you are in the right position and be ready when the pull comes. With this trick you will deliver an impressive performance.
With these 3 tips, you'll be ready for your next surfing adventure! Check out the UP STREAM SURFING surf lessons and try surfing for yourself in a taster course.
