I noticed that I have developed a bad habit of being lazy because my 8' superfish is so buoyant. It is easy to stand in the water and jump on the board just before paddling for a wave, because the motion of getting on the board in a hurry does not make the board sink and hesitate. This does not work on the 3 other boards I have tried. I need to force myself to sit on the board, read wave, turn and paddle harder.

Are there any other bad habits to watch out for?

that is a **** habit to get into imo. you know that already though not having fun and being a rude prick are the habits that you should stay away from mate

Slap yourself with a wet fish, look in the mirror and say to yourself,I must never do that again.
I think its time now to invest in a longboard 901 is your friendsurf the points and let it out

OK so the 901 will be my next trial

But if that is all you guys can suggest, then this surfing gig bust be easy No other bad habits to watch out for

come on mate. bad habits generally lead to fun really though,just know your way out in the water. there is a thing on the breeze about how to not be a knob,someone may link it for me. get in the water more,watch good surfers,where they sit etc,watch some movies. check foot positioning,why they walk the board on certain parts of a wave to give them the best glide. shiz like that. simondo and others are way better at this than me(so wait for there replies) have fun kadil next time your down try my ball mate,you will get heaps more fun than what you are having..imo. oh yes how do i get some pics off my beautiful self from you sir

PM me your email address and I will send them through.

Good mate of mine just lent me 2 movies:
"Wordz - a long boarding lexicon" and "Barefoot adventure"

Most of the bad habits I picked up from surfing are out of the water

Are you surfing again after Arra Kadilak? I'll be around Forster from tomorrow till saturday, if you want to have a go on any of mine your more than welcome and back in Newcastle after Saturday. If that doesn't work let me know where your thinking of surfing and I'll give you a few tips for where to get some waves.

Unfortunately I am heading to Sydney with a very full agenda this time, but thanks for the kind offer.

But maybe what I need is to plan a Brisbane to Sydney Trek, meeting Breezers along the way and discovering the sweetest spots. In fact If we plan it for July, the trek can continue to the snowy mountains for some snowboarding as well. Who's in

oh no now i cant do that either ? next you'll be saying dropping in on 9 yr olds is out too
