If you’re interested in learning to surf there are a few things you need to be aware of before heading out. Your safety and the safety of those around you should be your first concern.  There are risks involved that you must be aware of and understanding how to minimize these risks will help make your experience a positive one.  The ocean can be a dangerous place and must be respected.  Obviously, being a strong swimmer will help, but keep in mind that even an elite athlete can be swept away in a strong rip.  All too often, tourists find themselves in trouble because they have underestimated the dangers and are unfamiliar with the conditions of a certain area.  Learn about potential dangers...

It's the time of year again when many people start thinking about where to take their summer vacation. Soon kids will be out of school for the summer and you know it would feel great to go down to the gulf and enjoy the beach. Down here in Texas it's sunny every day right now and the water feels amazing at about 75F degrees. All you really need to do is decide which of the three major beach towns you'd like to visit: Galveston, Corpus Christi, or South Padre. Galveston Galveston, Texas is a really fun place to visit. This is a little island at the very bottom of Texas and it has a really fun atmosphere. There's an annual bike rally that draws more bikers than any other bike rally in the state. There...

You are not actually up and surfing unless you can pop up and stand on the board while it is on a wave. The act of popping up is a very scary endeavor at first, yet it is the key to surfing success. Getting the hang of this vital surfing move really is just a matter of practice. Practice, practice, practice. Most beginners find that practicing a pop-up on the beach helps tremendously before trying it in the water. Learning this skill is good exercise and builds muscle and strength. When you are starting out, it is a great idea to practice popping up on a surface that's stable and flat. Anything like beach sand or grass will do. Your living room floor works great for this! Start with your belly on...

If you travel frequently, you might notice an increasing number of oversize luggage in the shape of surfboards.  Where are these boards going?  Chances are they are going to San Jose or Liberia, Costa Rica's two international airports. Surfers from all over the world have discovery how easy it is to get to "Costa," where warm waters and consistent swells are found year round. Costa Rica has surfing conditions for all skill levels.  Tamarindo is a sheltered beach break ideal for learning the sport with expert instruction.  Playa Grande is an intermediate break that can become expert only when swells are quite large.  Playa Negra is barreling wave between rocky outcroppings so best left to the...

Owners of new homes are not the only people who can take advantage of various government programs designed to reduce mortgage payments-if you seek a luxury condo, you may be able to profit as well. Construction of new housing units of every type have reached a level not seen in six months-you may not see as good a market for buyers for a long time. The Dallas Texas region's housing market is remarkably strong compared to others-it did not suffer as severely from the housing bubble as other regions such as the Las Vegas area, and its energy-focused economy kept jobs circulating through the market even during the worst parts of the recession.   Whether you are seeking a home or a luxury condo, as a...

North Padre Island is a favorite tourist destination of ours on the Texas Gulf Coast. It is located across the bay from Corpus Christi and shares many of the attractions, but North Padre has a different vibe. It is a small, laid-back island community that is not as developed as many of the other parts of the gulf coast area. Beaches One of the main reasons to stay on the island is easy access to the nicer beaches found there. There is one hotel and a few condos right on the beach, but for the most part the beaches are undeveloped and drive-able down the entire strip of the north end. There are a park or two located at various points with picnic tables, but it is common to see people enter the beach...

Do you live in Texas and want to be a surfer? It might seem like you don't have a very good shot at entering this amazing and fun sport unless you move to a place like California or Hawaii, but the truth is that there's plenty of surf right here in the state of Texas. And it isn't in a lake or river! Texas surf is found down south at the Gulf of Mexico, and it's accessible from beach towns such as Galveston, Surfside, Port Aransas, Corpus Christi, and South Padre. There are even tons of little beach spots you where you can ride waves in between these towns; in fact, there are over 370 miles of beaches in Texas. That's more than most of the well known surfing states! You can start out surfing in any...

There are many reasons why someone should learn to surf. Not only is the sport great exercise, but riding a wave is a totally unique experience. It is something surfers fully understand and and outsiders will never fully grasp. Surfing connects the surfer to the energy of the ocean. It connects the surfer to the storm that produced that energy in terms of waves and swell. When you surf, you are riding the energy from a storm that generated swell and waves in a far away place. To most surfers, surfing is a zen experience that takes over the surfer when riding a wave and connecting with the ocean. That thrill of riding the wave keeps many surfers hooked for life. People may think other sports are...

Rich with heritage and beauty, the city of Corpus Christi continues to attract tourists, business entrepreneurs and students by the droves. The sea side resort has exceptionally hospitable climate and also does not seem to be a target to the numerous hurricanes, tornadoes and depressions that plague the Gulf of Mexico every year. Apartments in this scenic metropolis are easy to come by although it is good to give fair warming; if you have bad credit or a broken lease, you may have a hard time finding a suitable rental unit to rent. Calallen Annaville North Beach North Padre Island and more... The reason it's so difficult to locate second chance apartments in Corpus Christ is that they rarely...

Natural gas deposits are often located in areas of magnificent beauty because they naturally occur within or underneath ancient rock formations, on land or underneath water, where fossilized plant and animal matter has been compressed and broken down over many millions of years. It then is no coincidence that many of these fertile areas are within the boundaries of protected national park areas in the United States. While debates continue on Capitol Hill over drilling bans or permissions within these sanctuaries, it could be helpful to look at instances where drilling and extraction of resources has successfully coexisted with picturesque beauty and protected status. Texas has long been a fertile...

For anyone considering taking up Surfing as their latest sport, the thought of your first day at the beach and your first attempts at catching waves can be a very intimidating thought. Instead of thinking about how you're going to get your board into your car and how you're going to feel after your first wipeout, your most important thought should be "What beach am I going to choose to get acclimated with my board and which beach is going to be easiest for me to catch my first waves?" A crowded beach with large, aggressive waves and experienced surfers is not where you will want to attempt surfing for the first time, it will be a very daunting experience and probably discourage you. A less...

Surf schools are a controversial topic. Although marketing forces would have us believe otherwise, the majority of surfers are not overjoyed with the introduction of the modern surf schools. Even though there are some very fine surf schools operating today. Surfers often blame surf schools for filling the lineup with people, who can't surf. This is an over simplification of the problem, and pointing the finger at the entire surf school industry is misguided. The main issue is that everyone wants to surf, and they want to surf now. People don't understand just how difficult surfing really is, and they try to take short cuts. They want the ability of a surfer with ten years experience, and they want...

Surfers have long been known to have a unquenchable thirst for traveling around the globe in search of the perfect wave. While in the past this meant low budget travel and camping in front of desolate breaks, today's generation of surf travelers are more often composed of high-powered executives looking for an exotic vacation in which to enjoy nature, blow off steam, and of course enjoy world-class waves. With this new trend in surf travel and the surf industry in general booming (companies like Billabong and Quicksilver are today publicly traded behemoths whose advertising budget alone would make most jealous), a huge number of surf resorts have been popping up all around the far corners of the...

While much of the country suffers through a difficult housing market, the Gulf Coast City of Port Aransas is in the center of a very active real estate market. Both retirees looking for a beachfront community (one that isn't synonymous with "steel and glass high-rise") and investors looking for a winning investment in a difficult national housing market are discovering Port Aransas. The town of Port Aransas (Port A as the locals call it) is the center of the Mustang Island community. Mustang Island is an 18 mile barrier island running parallel to mainland Texas north of Padre Island, with Corpus Christi Bay to the West and the Gulf of Mexico to the East.

It may come as a surprise to many to learn that the UK actually contains some fantastic beaches for learning to surf.

There are numerous Texas beaches to vacation at, although most people think of flying or driving to more well-known places like California and Florida for their summer trips. While those places are nice vacation spots for beach goers, Texas has a few secrets that has those in the know coming back year after year. If you've ever walked into Pacific waters while visiting California beaches, you know just how cold the water is. The water there does warm up some during the summer, but California vacationers never get to enjoy the 80 plus degree water temperatures that Gulf Coast vacationers enjoy. Imagine getting into the water and not shivering, but rather enjoying yourself, basking in the warm Texas...

Spring Break is the time of year most college students look forward to. It's right before the end of the semester and exactly what students need before cramming for finals, thesis projects and such. Spring break is a chance to get away from it all and have some fun. Spring break is essentially the biggest party of the year. And the college spring break experience is far different from that of high school, but it can also be quite expensive. Not every starving college student can foot the bill for a massive drinking fest in some exotic location.

When the skies are blue, the air is warm, and the water rolls up to the sandy beach gently and hypnotically, it's hard to imagine being anywhere more beautiful than in Corpus Christi, Texas. However, once every few decades, Mother Nature reminds residents that she is not to be taken for granted.

Hurricane Celia swept through just three years later and although the damage...

Foam Surfboard Names The Softboard has many nicknames: - Softie - Foamie - Soft Surfboard They come in many sizes: - longboard - mini-mal - shortboard What's Good About the Soft Surfboard The main advantage of a soft surfboard is that it is safe.

It is great for crowded beaches and will likely provide a safe and enjoyable time out in the water. The second main advantage of the softboard is that it is cheap. You can easily pick up a soft longboard for under 200 dollars online. They come in all shapes and sizes such as...

Learning to surf is difficult, not because it requires a super human to learn the sport, but because you have to wait for a new wave every time you fall off your surfboard. Depending on the conditions where you're learning to surf, it could take 5 or even 20 minutes for the next wave to roll through. Sometimes there are lots of waves, but they are so disorganized (think: washing machine) that it's hard to paddle into one and stay on it for any length of time. Once a person has learned to paddle into waves and popup (the act of going from laying to standing on your surfboard), new surfers want to learn how to do tricks. When you look at pictures of people surfing or of videos of surfers riding waves...

Once you have decided to learn to surf...just what is the right surfboard for you, the beginning surfer? The first rule is to make sure the surfboard you choose is the right length and width and thickness. The wider the board and the thicker the board, the more stability you will have in the water. It should be 6 inches to 2 feet taller than your height, depending on your age. Kids are lighter than adults therefore more buoyant so can get by with a board 6 to 18 inches taller than their height, Adults should choose one that is 1 to 2 feet taller than them. For beginners who want to surf all summer long, it would make sense to pick a surfboard that will last more than one season, one which you will...

As the editor of a surfing website, people send me questions all the time about learning to surf. I've compiled a few commonly asked questions here for people who are in their 20's that want to learn how to surf. 1) Would somebody in their mid twenties be able to learn as fast as a kid? It just depends on how agile you are. If you're agile you'll learn as fast as a kid. If you're not agile, you'll become agile but that takes time. If you need to lose some fat in order to become agile, surfing will remove the fat for you and still make you agile. Paddling into waves and fighting the current is hard work. You have to be limber and quick to pop up on your surfboard (the act of changing from the laying...

Longboard surfing is the best way to learn how to surf. This is not to say that you can't learn on smaller surfboards such as a shortboard, but those boards will take much longer to learn on and amount to greater frustration along the way. Better to surf those boards later. Notice the title says the "Easier Way" not the "Easy Way". That is because I don't want to imply that simply using a longboard will make learning to surf easy. Longboards are just more forgiving than other boards. People who just start surfing simply don't have conditioned shoulders. Conditioning comes with time and paddling a longboard will be hard enough but still much easier than a shortboard. Longboards are more stable...

Why does it matter which foot is forward in your surf stance? Many surf breaks have waves that break in a predictable pattern. The waves at point breaks for example will consistently break in the same direction wave after wave. Your surf stance will have you surfing front side or backside to those waves, depending on your surf stance Your surf stance is crucial in maintaining your balance on your surfboard. Getting to your feet quickly in the manner that feels most natural to you will set you up for the rest of your ride and you will catch more waves. The term, goofy foot is in reference to a surfer who surfs with his or her right foot forward on the surfboard. A regular or natural stance on the...

Conquer your learning curve faster when you learn to surf. Does good surfing instruction make a difference to your learning curve when learning to surf? You bloody bet it does! Most of the older guys you see in the water these days did not have the benefit of surf schools when they where learning. The only surf school they attended was the school of hard knocks, heavy wipe outs, and plenty of peer pressure. It took me years to learn what good surfing instruction from an experienced coach can teach you in hours today. The only surfing instruction available to us was watching other guys in the water, copying what they where doing, and hanging on for grim death if it all came unstuck, which it usually...

Southern California can be called the mecca of the surfing industry. From San Diego to Santa Cruz, the California surfing lifestyle has rubbed off on the better part of the entire planet. The lingo, fame, and general aura of the Southern California surfing culture has continued to bring athletes into the surfing arena. But where do the majority of these people start? The best place to learn how to surf is somewhere where the athlete can experience a variety of waves in a short period of time.

Surfing doesn't require a lot of gear, but it's important to choose the right gear. Ability, location, and climate are just a few factors that determine the best surfing gear for you. A Surfboard, most likely a wetsuit, and a few accessories are really all you need. There are many types of surfboards. Longboards are 9ft or longer. These are definitely the best kind of surfboards to learn on. They float well and catch slow moving waves the best. Funboards are shaped like longboards with wide tails and noses, but shorter at 7ft to 9ft in length. These are best for longboarders moving on to something smaller or for less than full sized adults that are learning to surf. Fishboards are very short but...
