All it takes is one wave to get hooked on surfing. Whatever it was that drew you into the pursuit, you’re soon going to find out what you really signed up for. Surfing can be hard. I’m talking really hard. And the worst part is that you’re going to love every second of it even while getting worked in the water.
Learning to surf is something that we all had to do. Even the pros were terrible at one point, even though that’s hard to believe. But, just because learning to surf is challenging doesn’t mean it has to be completely miserable. Yes, you might get some water stuck in your sinuses or feel like you’re freezing on cold days. But, with the right gear and mindset, you can limit those experiences and breeze past the flailing in the water part and be on your way to true wave riding.

That’s when you feel like you’re flying. You’re just on the tip and the whole rest of the board is literally being held by the back of the wave.

Synonymous with style, Kassia Meador is no stranger to learning from the lineup. When she started surfing with her dad in Malibu at age 14, she learned that the best way to refine her skills was to observe how other surfers picked and rode each wave.
While new surfers are often eager to literally get their feet wet and move right into (and up) the lineup, Meador stresses the importance of observation. Coincidentally, she teaches that it’s a key practice to getting more waves, which is also key to improving skills overall which she emphasizes in her new course,
