7 Tips for Beginners

Because every foundational tip builds you toward flow, confidence, and faith.

From picking the right board to paddling with purpose, these seven tips are your roadmap to starting strong. Begin with a board that floats your confidence, find gentle waves that welcome beginners, and always respect the power of the ocean. Watch before you paddle, stay mindful of your board and those around you, and learn the quiet rhythm of surf etiquette — it’s grace in motion.

Every small step matters: a well-timed paddle, a clean pop-up, a moment of balance. Surfing teaches patience, awareness, and trust — the same principles that carry us through life and faith. Keep your eyes forward, your heart steady, and ride every wave with gratitude. 🌅
