Nachhaltige und umweltbewusste Surfschule

Versteh uns nicht falsch – wir lieben es zu surfen, eine Welle anzupaddeln, aufzustehen und das unbeschreibliche Gefühl auf einer Welle entlang zu gleiten. Wir wünschen uns, dass alle Menschen dieses Gefühl erleben können – aber nicht um jeden Preis!

Es gibt genügend Ausreden, weshalb wir einfach mitlaufen und passive Zuschauende der Umweltkrise sind, der wir als globale Gesellschaft gegenüberstehen.

Doch unser Planet ist ernsthaft bedroht. Wir sind kurz davor, den Punkt zu erreichen, an dem es kein Zurück mehr gibt und unsere Ökosysteme für immer verloren gehen.

Wir können unsere Augen nicht länger vor der Verschmutzung der Meere, dem Verschwinden von Korallen aufgrund des Klimawandels und dem Verlust von Küstengebieten durch den Anstieg des Meerspiegels verschließen.

Deshalb haben wir im 2021 einen Schritt nach vorne gemacht und einige wichtige Veränderungen in der Art und Weise vorgenommen, wie wir unser Unternehmen führen und Surfen unterrichten, um den größtmöglichen Nutzen für diejenigen, die es genießen, und gleichzeitig die geringstmögliche Umweltbelastung zu gewährleisten.

Sei die Veränderung, die du dir für diese Welt wünschst.

One key element that significantly influences your surfing performance is the fin set-up on your surfboard. The choice between a single fin, twin fin, thruster, or quad fin configuration can drastically alter the way you maneuver on the waves.

Single Fin: The Classic Elegance

The single fin setup exudes classic elegance and is reminiscent of the early days of surfing. Providing stability and control, the single fin is favored for its smooth, flowing ride. It encourages a more traditional style of surfing, allowing surfers to gracefully trim and nose ride. However, the limitations become evident when it comes to tight turns and radical maneuvers. The single fin ideal for those who appreciate a soulful, laid-back approach to riding the waves.

Twin Fin: Speed and Playfulness

The twin fin set-up offers a blend of speed and playfulness. With two fins working in tandem, surfers experience increased maneuverability and a looser feel on the wave. Twin fins are known for their ability to generate speed effortlessly, making them ideal for small to medium-sized waves. This set-up is favored by those who enjoy a more dynamic, skate-like feel, allowing for snappy turns and creative lines on the wave.

Thruster: Versatility at Its Best

The thruster configuration, featuring three fins, is the most common and widely used set-up in modern surfing. Offering a perfect balance between speed, control, and maneuverability, the thruster allows surfers to excel in a variety of conditions. The center fin provides stability, while the side fins aid in turning and carving through the waves. Thrusters are the go-to choice for surfers who want a versatile board that performs well in a broad range of wave sizes and shapes.

Quad Fin: Power and Drive

For surfers seeking a combination of speed and drive, the quad fin set-up is an excellent choice. It got two pairs of fins set towards the tail. Quads excel in generating speed and maintaining control in critical sections of the wave. This configuration is particularly effective in larger, more powerful waves. Provides surfers with the stability that needed to handle the increased energy of the ocean. Quads are favored by those who appreciate a more down-the-line, high-speed approach to surfing.

In conclusion, the fin set-up on your surfboard is a crucial factor that defines your surfing experience. Whether you lean towards the classic elegance of a single fin, the speed and playfulness of a twin fin, the versatility of a thruster, or the power and drive of a quad, each configuration offers a unique ride that caters to different styles, conditions, and preferences.

Let’s be honest! We all need to start at some point and we all make mistakes during learning something new. In this article we gather 5 mistakes that beginners usually do in their first day of surfing apart of putting their wetsuits the other way around. 

1. Putting the wrong foot first.

Before we start surfing we have to figure out which is our dominant foot what stands in the front. ( we wrote  another article about this in here ) So what suppose to happen when we do a pop up is that we put our back foot first to right front of the fins. This is a short set up step and following this we put our front foot to the center of the board , driving in between the hands to under the chest. This is our long step and the step which drops the weight on your board so you can glide ahead on the wave.

Beginners tend to step with the front foot first and get stuck with their backfoot all the way in the end of the board so they have way too much space in between the legs or possibly not even able to stand up from such a wide position.

At the end we are only human ,we make mistakes but we only have two legs we have a relative 50-50 chance to mix up the order. Imagine if an octopus would try to surf. We can be considered lucky species. 

2. Putting the knee down

As the wave starts pushing the board ahead we suppose to come up to the well known of yoga position “cobra” then start putting our back FOOT to the board. Here people can get shocked by the energy, the adrenalin ,the fear and all things happening at the same time so in a so-called panic reaction they push down the back of the board with their knees. In practice what happens : The tail starts to sink, the nose points up and we stall like in traffic our freshly licensed driver who drives with the handbrake on. 

3. Looking down

Human body is the best designed machine ever but many of us forgot to read the user’s manual. As a matter of fact “You go where you look” So when we look down to our board while surfing , our eyes give the instruction to the brain to go DOWN. Next thing happens, you find yourself under water. Keep looking at the beach! On your first day your goal is to up and ride for a few seconds towards the beach. 

 

4. Popping up too early/too late

It might sound a bit hippy but when we surf we must connect with the wave and become the wave. What this means in physics is that we have to gain a certain amount of kinetic energy very quickly so the wave can pick us up and push us ahead. If we start doing our pop up too early we miss the wave. If we already missed the wave it does not make sense to pop up because then we basically just stand up on flat water which is called Stand Up Paddling or SUP. 

5. Not finding the balance or the right position

Most surf schools are teaching on the biggest boards possible to maximize the buoyant force and make you as stable as possible. Although just think about a rowing boat or kayak once you start moving even those objects can start shaking. Once you already unstable and shaking it’s very hard to keep in direction your board or catch a wave. Those who start surfing on a smaller day or can test themselves in flat water before they go between waves are the lucky ones. This way they can get familiar with their positioning and balance so once the wave comes they are ready to paddle ahead and catch. 

These are the mistakes that you will probably commit on your first day of surfing. As it is a brand new sport for you, there is no shame of being a bit goofy in the beginning but you know what? Prove us wrong ! Come and show how a first timer can shred the waves too!

Provides surfers with the stability that needed to handle the increased energy of the ocean. Quads are favored by those who appreciate a more down-the-line, high-speed approach to surfing.

In conclusion, the fin set-up on your surfboard is a crucial factor that defines your surfing experience. Whether you lean towards the classic elegance of a single fin, the speed and playfulness of a twin fin, the versatility of a thruster, or the power and drive of a quad, each configuration offers a unique ride that caters to different styles, conditions, and preferences.

Let’s be honest! We all need to start at some point and we all make mistakes during learning something new. In this article we gather 5 mistakes that beginners usually do in their first day of surfing apart of putting their wetsuits the other way around. 

1. Putting the wrong foot first.

Before we start surfing we have to figure out which is our dominant foot what stands in the front. ( we wrote  another article about this in here ) So what suppose to happen when we do a pop up is that we put our back foot first to right front of the fins. This is a short set up step and following this we put our front foot to the center of the board , driving in between the hands to under the chest. This is our long step and the step which drops the weight on your board so you can glide ahead on the wave.

Beginners tend to step with the front foot first and get stuck with their backfoot all the way in the end of the board so they have way too much space in between the legs or possibly not even able to stand up from such a wide position.

At the end we are only human ,we make mistakes but we only have two legs we have a relative 50-50 chance to mix up the order. Imagine if an octopus would try to surf. We can be considered lucky species. 

2. Putting the knee down

As the wave starts pushing the board ahead we suppose to come up to the well known of yoga position “cobra” then start putting our back FOOT to the board. Here people can get shocked by the energy, the adrenalin ,the fear and all things happening at the same time so in a so-called panic reaction they push down the back of the board with their knees. In practice what happens : The tail starts to sink, the nose points up and we stall like in traffic our freshly licensed driver who drives with the handbrake on. 

3. Looking down

Human body is the best designed machine ever but many of us forgot to read the user’s manual. As a matter of fact “You go where you look” So when we look down to our board while surfing , our eyes give the instruction to the brain to go DOWN. Next thing happens, you find yourself under water. Keep looking at the beach! On your first day your goal is to up and ride for a few seconds towards the beach. 

 

4. Popping up too early/too late

It might sound a bit hippy but when we surf we must connect with the wave and become the wave. What this means in physics is that we have to gain a certain amount of kinetic energy very quickly so the wave can pick us up and push us ahead. If we start doing our pop up too early we miss the wave. If we already missed the wave it does not make sense to pop up because then we basically just stand up on flat water which is called Stand Up Paddling or SUP. 

5. Not finding the balance or the right position

Most surf schools are teaching on the biggest boards possible to maximize the buoyant force and make you as stable as possible. Although just think about a rowing boat or kayak once you start moving even those objects can start shaking. Once you already unstable and shaking it’s very hard to keep in direction your board or catch a wave. Those who start surfing on a smaller day or can test themselves in flat water before they go between waves are the lucky ones. This way they can get familiar with their positioning and balance so once the wave comes they are ready to paddle ahead and catch. 

These are the mistakes that you will probably commit on your first day of surfing. As it is a brand new sport for you, there is no shame of being a bit goofy in the beginning but you know what? Prove us wrong ! Come and show how a first timer can shred the waves too!
