Surfing conjures up golden
beaches, clear blue skies and glassy waves. Coupled with
the independent spirit of its participants the sport has
become the hallmark of the Australian way of life.
The thrill of riding a wave is one
of the most exhilarating experiences in any sport whether
it be with your body or with a board.
Surprisingly, most people learn
surf awareness and surfing without recourse to any
classes or instruction. Too often it is assumed that
people "just know" all about surf safety or surfing
because they either live at the beach or spend their
holidays at a beach.
Unfortunately this is untrue.
Just because a child can hit a tennis ball do we
assume they can play a game of tennis or if a child knows
the workings of a car is it assumed that he can drive
one?
Learning about the surf without
proper instruction is not only hard but extremely
dangerous. A surf beach can be a fun place but at the
same time can be a nightmare for those people who are
unprepared, uniformed and unaware of the dangers that
exist or can suddenly develop.
