Right of way
The surfer closest to the wave's peak has the right of way. This means that if you paddle for a wave and there is another surfer closer to the peak, you must yield to them.
If you are unsure who has the right of way, it is always best to err on the side of caution and let the other surfer go.
Once a surfer is up and riding the wave, they have the right of way until they kick out or wipe out.
Don't drop in.
Dropping in is when you paddle around another surfer to catch a wave they are already paddling for. This is considered rude and dangerous.
If you accidentally drop in on someone, apologise immediately.
Don't snake
Snaking is when you repeatedly paddle around another surfer to get a better position in the lineup. This is also considered rude and disruptive.
Be patient and wait your turn to catch a wave.
Be aware of your surroundings.
When paddling out, be aware of other surfers in the lineup. Try to avoid paddling in front of or over other surfers.
If you are surfing a crowded spot, be especially careful not to drop in on or snake other surfers.
Be respectful of the locals.
If you are surfing at a spot where the locals surf regularly, be respectful of them. Give them priority for waves, and don't hesitate to ask for advice.
Other tips
Don't hog the waves.
Share them around with the other surfers in the lineup.
Be aware of your surfboard. Surfboards can be dangerous weapons, so be careful not to hit other surfers with your board.
If you fall off your board, try to control it so it doesn't hit other surfers.
Apologise if you accidentally hit or drop in on someone.
Have fun and enjoy the surf!
Here are some additional tips for beginner surfers:
Observe and learn from experienced surfers. Watch how they paddle out, position themselves in the lineup, and catch waves.
Be patient, and don't get frustrated if you don't catch many waves at first. It takes time and practice to learn how to surf well.
Don't be afraid to ask for help from experienced surfers. Most surfers are happy to help beginners learn the ropes.
By following these tips, you can help to create a safe and enjoyable surfing experience for everyone.
