Mari's Mailbag - Teaching Trix

I wanted to say that it's awesome being around surfers who genuinely love to surf and put their hearts into it, who help the newcomers and uplift the spirits of the veterans. There is always something new we can learn when it comes to surfing because it is never predictable...except, of course, for the lag.

When you see a new surfer, see how they're doing. Ask if there is anything you can do to show them a trick or two. Chances are you will not only be helping them to overcome new anxieties by giving them some encouragement, you will also gain the general great feeling of helping someone. It's the best feeling when you see that surfer later in his or her surf adventure and they are offering tips to somebody new and to also see them excel at events. What a great feeling that is.
