Surf towns run on a different clock. Days are planned around tides, not meetings, and nobody asks what you do for a living until the third conversation.
Take a lesson, really
A good instructor will teach you safety, etiquette and how to read the water. It is the difference between a frustrating week and a lifelong love.
Respect the line-up
Wait your turn, don’t drop in on others and smile when you wipe out. Surfing is as much about community as it is about waves.
Leave it better
Pick up three pieces of plastic every time you leave the beach. The wild side only stays wild if we look after it.
