<aside> 💡 Surfing regularly is a beautiful thing worth chasing however, you are about to discover how complex the act of surfing is and how many skills you need to get right before gliding across the face of even the smallest wave. Learning to surf without an understanding of each of these skills leads to very slow progression, wasted sessions and a loss of love for surfing.

The First 100 Waves surf guide is a curated library of the best free surf content from across the internet arranged to help beginner surfers like you identify and develop the core skills required to catch unbroken/green waves on your own and fast track the learning process.
