Now that you have gathered all the materials, it is time to prepare yourself. To prepare, you can do yoga. Yoga will help you gain upper body strength allowing you to paddle and pop up on your board faster. Besides yoga, you also need to practice your balance. Spending some time on a wakeboard or skateboard will help. After you practice this, you need to find your stance on the surfboard. To do this, get a skateboard or a surfboard, and stand parallel to it. If you are using a surfboard, put something under it to keep the fins off the ground. Place one foot in the back and the other
Introduction/Attention Grabber: One of people’s favorite things to do in the summer is go to the lake. When they’re at the lake people frequently like to water ski, tube, wakeboard and now more than ever they like to wakesurf! When it comes to sports performed behind a boat, wakesurfing is becoming one of the most popular (CITATION). The reason for this is that it is easy to do, it is not hard on your body, and most importantly, it does not hurt when you fall. How many of you guys have wakesurfed before? It is my goal that you leave here today with the basic understanding of how to wakesurf at the
I believe surfing is the best teacher. It teaches you motivation, strength, and balance. Not many things in life teach you all these things while still allowing you to have fun. You have to pick your battles. You have to decide how you will respond to failure. You have to decide to surf. You have to let the waves carry
One way is called a beach start and the first thing a person should do to perform this type of start would be to strap themselves to the board. The boat drives away from the beach you hold onto the rope you’re your knee boarding. The second way is the most used and I call it a deep water start. The deep water start begins with me laying on the kneeboard with the strap to my side and holding the rope out at the edge of the board. As the boat starts to pick up speed the kneeboard begins to lift up higher out the water. This happens because the tilt of the board pushes on the water causing the water to push back which gives the board its lift. While the boat is still speeding up I begin my move up the board by pulling my knees up toward my chest. As I am pulling up my knees, I slowly start to lean back on the board. This is to keep the right amount of lift while I am still getting up to speed. Now that I have my knees in the knee slots I grab the strap and secure myself to the board so I don’t fall off. Once I am settled in on the board and have the boat running about 25 mph the kneeboard and I have no problem with balance. Because of my new speed I can knee on the board and not worry about fall over. The reason behind this is simple, speed, without moving across the water kneeing down on the board was nearly impossible. Now that I am traveling across the water I have the lift from the water and a small amount of drag. In
As you are making your way out, you may encounter some large waves. These waves occasionally seem impossible to get around, but there is a way to dodge them. As you see a wave coming, wrap your arms tightly around the board, then flip you and your board over, therefore placing you underwater and your board turned upside down. Because the nose of the board is now pointed downward, the wave will smoothly bypass over you. When you see the wave disappear, you can then flip back over! It is also tricky knowing where to stop paddling and when to start waiting. You don't want to be too close to the shore, yet you don't want to be too far either! Positions change daily, and there are multiple ways on figuring out where to position yourself. One is to know where the current is the strongest and how far apart the waves are from one another. For now, follow other present surfers or ask a lifeguard.
First, we picked out our boat, and did some "ore yoga," and practiced how to move the paddle. Next, we got out in the water and practiced grouping together at a pole. Then once we starting paddling, we went around Indian Rocks, or also known as Bird Rock. After we went around the rock, we came back to where we started, and had a competition on who could stand on their kayak the longest. I only lasted a few seconds, but it was a lot of
Venture out on paddleboards or kayaks to explore costal inlets, secluded coves and rugged canyon walls.
There are two main beaches, North Broulee and South Broulee. As well as a point break known as Pink Rocks, which at the right time provides barrelling waves of heaven. At South Broulee you’ll find peaceful beach breaks stretching across the shore. South Broulee swells can span from 2 feet through to a respectable 12, feet peeling both left and right. Paddling out the back is made easy by jumping into a rip next to the rocky river mouth. Once you’ve found yourself out the back there is an unlimited selection of engaging and charming waves. As you paddle onto the wave you’ll experience the rush of pleasure as it propels you forwards, then the craving for adrenaline fix will be satisfied as you start shredding the face. The waves at South Broulee take a while to steepen up and eventually break without barrelling. The wave provides a lengthy ride, allowing you to bottom turn and continue to carve your way across the face. On the other hand if you’re a Layback surfer, the wave has plenty of face to hang ten or try some funky new tricks to impress the beach onlookers. As the population of Broulee is small there is minimal competition for

I chose to create my satire on the HWDSB website and organization— specifically focusing on the irrational policies (nutrition), and underlying intent to limit students. Hopefully, I do not come across as bitter, or “anti-HWDSB”, because I do love the company and think it does play an important part in developing students. However, I feel that given my past experiences with Westdale student council, and HWDSB Student Senate, I have heard and seen so many issues that are present in the board. I don’t always agree with some of the policies and procedures that our board has, which is why I created my satire on the few flaws that it has. I wanted to show that there are some things that the board either undermines the student population (conforming
