Surf - How to Duck Dive

Description

Many surfers are exhausted and stop after they tried to take a hard bar. To get to the area where you have to be to catch a wave you have to go behind the break. What you should know is that to pass a bar somethimes will be a mission impossible. Even for the more experienced and physical surfers. Especially when the currents are very strong and there are a lot of waves. Learn and succeed to duck dive. This technique is used with small boards which are good to catch the waves. To duck, you need to paddle at a good pace towards the wave that is about to take off. Before the wave your arms have to paddle strongly to keep the nose of the board under the water. Immediately after, bring your knees onto the back of the board, while holding onto the board with your arms in front of you. If you do it right and trust this principle you will come out at the other side of the wave.

  • Surf - How to make the chicken dive (or duck diving)

    Duck diving is the safest way to get through waves, but some times the waves are too big to duck dive. In this case, another strategy is to dive under the wave without your board. The first thing to consider when you are going to ditch you board is people behind you. A loose board can seriously injure someone so if there is anyone behind you, even if the wave is too big you must attempt a duck dive. After ensuring no one is behind you, wait until the wave is a couple of meters away before swimming as deep as possible under the water. Stay under the water until the wave has completely passed. This is not a recommended method of getting through a wave.

  • Surf - How to make an eskimo roll

    An eskimo roll is a method of getting through a wave when your board is too big to do a duck dive. When the wave approaches, hold onto the rails with your elbows against the board so that it doesn't hit you in the face. Make sure the nose is underwater otherwise the wave will pull the board out of your hands. When the wave has passed, rotate back around by pulling on one rail and pushing the other. Start paddling as soon as possible to avoid being pulled back with the wave.
