In the chaos of learning something new, be the calm and collected surfer who can problem solve themselves out of anything!
In this video, we break down the essential surf safety skills every surfer needs to handle real-world situations in the lineup. Whether you're a beginner learning the basics or an intermediate surfer building confidence, knowing how to react under pressure can make all the difference.
We cover:
• What to do if your leash snaps (including efficient side-stroke swimming technique)
• How to stay safe when you’re caught inside by waves (using the correct safety position)
• How to handle surf etiquette mistakes in the lineup (stay calm, be humble, and apologise)
• Why you should never ditch your board (and the risks it creates for others)
• What to do when another surfer is in your path while paddling out (hint: paddle toward the whitewater)
These are the moments that separate reactive surfers from confident, in-control surfers. By understanding these situations ahead of time, you’ll stay safer, protect others in the water, and surf with more awareness.
If you’ve ever felt out of control in the surf, this video will give you the tools to stay calm, make better decisions, and handle whatever the ocean throws at you.
