What is the hardest thing in surfing?
The hardest part of surfing is typically mastering the pop-up technique and effectively paddling out to the waves. The ocean is unpredictable and has a way of throwing challenges at you without warning. THE FIRST SURF RULE: THE SURFERS CLOSEST TO THE PEAK HAS PRIORITY. The person closest to the peak (the part of the wave that starts to break) has the right-of-way, which means that this person can decide to take or not take the wave. Other surfers need to wait for their turn.
