You shall wake up with the sun and be the first in line. In this article we gather 5 reasons why it’s worth.

1, Adrenaline boost

Exercising in the morning is considered best because it gives you an adrenaline boost. Adrenaline enhances alertness, helping you overcome the sleepy feeling. Mixing the morning adrenalin with the amount of what you get from surfing is definitely better than a shot of coffee.

2,Better time management

The early morning hours tend to be the most productive time of day because you get uninterrupted time to yourself. You can use this peaceful and quiet time to plan your day. Include your surfing early morning so there will be tons of time for everything else ahead. 

3, Beat the traffic

Wake up before everyone else ! Gives you a green light straight to the beach so you don’t waste your time just sitting in your car and being stressed. For sure you are also gonna find parking spots at the early hours!

4, Beat the crowd.

Early birds most likely gonna find empty line-ups. It makes the entire session less stressful and gives you more waves to practice on. 

5,Clean waves

Most of the time surfers are looking for offshore or less wind conditions. The reason that this makes the waves clearer and longer. As a basic rule of thumb the winds are typically lighter in the morning, strongest in the afternoon and just before the sunset gets lighter again. 

So put the alarm early and score the waves of your life!

 “The best surfer out there is the one having the most fun.”

We want you to be the best so we collected 5 habits which can help you to stay calm and enjoy your sessions more!

1, Set up your personal goals.

This should always be according to the recent conditions and your skills. Never push yourself too hard. The number one goal should be to enjoy what you do and learn. 

2, Pick the right board.

Seeing the conditions you should always have an idea about what board you’re gonna use according to size and shape. We tend to follow our ego and always just use shortboards no matter the wave but the idea is to be a surfer and not a shortboarder or longboarder. Be familiar with different sizes and types of boards !  

3, Pick the right surf spot

Picking the right surf spot is picking your playground. If you feel like the waves are not good enough or the line-up is too busy sometimes it is better to just not enter. If you have a better choice you can always drive or walk away. Just do the research on near spots . If you have no other choice then make sure that you don’t have big expectations. Your aim should be to connect with the ocean and appreciate the moment.

4,Have a surfing buddy!

Sharing is caring, especially when you have a good friend by your side during your surf session. Together you can motivate, cheer and give good ideas to each other. 

5, Sit and relax when you are not feeling it.

If you feel like it is  not going well, it’s always better to just sit out and relax for a while. You might just have a double look at the waves. Where you should be and understand the line-up a bit more. In this resting time it’s also a good idea to do some breathing exercises and stretches so you can reboot your mind and start like its a new session.

Surfing is not just a sport! It has been proven to have a strong influence on your connection to nature.

Furthermore, it promotes physical and mental strength.

Making surfing an activity with great potential for creating the values humanity needs for a sustainable future.

In this article Daja Malin Salge gives her testimony of her experience in the EcoKids project.

I have personally witnessed this potential since my first surf lesson in the summer of 2022. I have been keen on using it to enable a more sustainable future.

However, there are also unsustainable behaviors ingrained in surf culture.

Such as the use of surf materials made from fossil fuels, including boards, leashes, and wetsuits, and also the lifelong search for the best wave generates high CO2 emissions through travelling.

To bridge this gap between sustainable attitudes  and unsustainable actions. It is important to sensitize surfers early on to the relevance of their actions.

I learned in my studies in “Education for Sustainability” how education can be used theoretically to empower individuals to act sustainably. With this knowledge, I collaborated with the Future Eco Surf School for my master thesis, to develop the holiday program “Eco Kids” together.

Which combines surfing and sustainability education and is aimed at children from the local community of the surf school.

In a participatory process, the Future Eco Surf School team initially collected potentials and ideas. From which we jointly developed specific activities for five different sustainability topics relevant to daily life.

These were combined into a program that supplemented the morning surf lessons. With creative, challenging, and playful educational activities in the afternoons.

The aim was to convey knowledge, skills, motivation, and self-confidence to the children. Make them capable individuals for a sustainable future.

We then implemented the program together during the Easter holidays in 2023.

Evaluating daily and making adjustments where necessary to create the best possible educational experience for the young surfers. It seems to have worked, as both the children and their parents were thrilled.

Personally, I can say that I learned so much during this time. So much fun working together in this collaboration and super grateful for the opportunity to combine my studies with my passion for surfing.

I have found a place and the people in the Future Eco Surf School who share my vision of a sustainable world!

I sincerely hope that through the joint development of the Eco Kids program, I was able to have a bit of an influence on the future actions of the young surfers and also help the Future Eco Surf School get one step closer to its visions and so generally did contribute to creating a more sustainable world!
