Surfing begins when the surfer paddles toward shore in an attempt to match the speed of the wave. Once the wave begins to carry the surfer forward, the surfer stands up and proceeds to ride the wave. The basic idea is to position the surfboard so it is just ahead of the breaking part (white water) of the wave. A common problem for beginners is being able to catch the wave at all.

Keys: Timing and wave selection are crucial. Keep it on rail. Watch the lip, and time it. Hit the lip when you are past vertical. Keep the momentum going by using your rail and front foot.
