What is the first rule of surfing?
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. A: The ease of duck diving largely depends on the surfer’s strength and technique. However, boards around 40 liters and above can be challenging to duck dive, especially for lighter or less experienced surfers. It’s essential to find a balance between the volume you can manage and the conditions you’re surfing in.Timing is everything. If you start your duck dive too soon, for example, 4 metres before the wave, you won’t have the speed and momentum to go downward and forward under the wave. Because of your surfboard’s buoyancy, it will start coming back up too soon and get hit by the wave.
