Don\u2019t overestimate your abilities and choose a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/surfspots\/\">surf spot<\/a> that suits your surf level.\n\nYou are still a beginner surfer and your safety should always be your top priority. So rather choose a <strong>beachbreak<\/strong> over a wave that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/surfing-at-a-reef-break-the-view-of-the-reef\/\">breaks over a reef<\/a>. And ideally a beach, which is monitored by a <strong>lifeguard<\/strong>. You should also ask a friend, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/private-surf-coaching-on-fuerteventura\/\">surf coach<\/a> or another surfer who knows the spot to <strong>briefly explain the spot<\/strong> and not just enter. It could be that there are <strong>currents<\/strong> which you can\u2019t see from outside. Beside the current you should also take the wave size and the conditions as well as the tide into account. From the beach the waves are easily underestimated.\n\nAs a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/perfect-surf-equipment-for-beginners\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"18\">surf beginner<\/a> you should always be in <strong>hip deep white water<\/strong>. Make sure the waves are not bigger than yourself. Once you have informed yourself about the spot, you should of course also <strong>familiarize yourself with the material<\/strong>.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/safety-in-surfing-boardhandling.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Sicherheit beim Surfen als Anf\u00e4nger Boardhandeling&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Sicherheit beim Surfen als Anf\u00e4nger Boardhandeling&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.2&#8243; z_index_tablet=&#8221;500&#8243; border_radii=&#8221;on|10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h2 id=\"board\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Safety_in_surfing_%E2%80%93_Tip_2_%E2%80%93_Handling_your_board_in_the_water\"><\/span><strong>Safety in surfing \u2013 Tip #2 \u2013 Handling your board in the water<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nTo make sure you don\u2019t hurt yourself or others in the water you should know a few things about your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/surfboard-7\/\">surfboard<\/a> and the handling of the board.\n\nFirst, it is important that you as a surf beginner choose a board which <strong>suits your size and your weight<\/strong>.\n\nIt is also always a good idea to use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/softboards-are-perfect-for-beginner-surfers\/\"><strong>softboard<\/strong><\/a> as a beginner surfer.\n\nTreat your surfboard just like your best friend. Handle the board with care and treat it well. Most softboards have a handle with which you can easily carry the surfboard.\n\nOnce arrived in the water, you should <strong>hold your board at the nose<\/strong> and leave the fins behind you. Turn the surfboard 180\u00b0 just before the wave and lie on it to catch the wave.\n\nIf you got the wave and surfed it, <strong>take care when jumping from the board<\/strong>. Don\u2019t let your board fly away to do a spectacular exit. Your board measures about 2 meters and the leash as well. So, if you let go of your board, it might hit another surfer. If you do fall off the board uncontrollably, <strong>protect your head<\/strong> to at least protect yourself from injury.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/safety-in-surfing-wipeout.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Sicherheit beim Surfen als Anf\u00e4nger Wipeout&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Sicherheit beim Surfen als Anf\u00e4nger Wipeout&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h2 id=\"protectyourhead\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Safety_in_surfing_%E2%80%93_Tip_3_%E2%80%93_Protect_your_head\"><\/span><strong>Safety in surfing \u2013 Tip #3 \u2013 Protect your head <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nIt takes a while until you learn as beginner surfer how to jump from your board the right way. At the beginning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/surfing-on-land-and-in-the-water-take-the-surf-feeling-home-with-you\/\">surf novices often feel<\/a> a little helpless when \u201cwiping our\u201d and are thrown around in the white water (some call it the \u201c<strong>washing<\/strong><strong> machine<\/strong>\u201d). And sometimes even experienced surfers feel the same. Even if you learned how to get out of the water there will always be situations where you are not fully in control. That is part of surfing. The ocean dictates what happens, when you loose control. But if there is one thing you can do in most cases it is to <strong>protect the most important: your head<\/strong>. If you protect your head with your hands and your underarms, you can avoid possible injuries from hitting the board or the ground.\n\n<strong>Slide out of the water with your hands first<\/strong> before you stick your head out of the water. We know you want to catch your breath as quickly as possible, especially after a really nice wipeout. However, it&#8217;s important to put your hands over your head first to make sure you don&#8217;t hit your head on the surfboard when you come up for air.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/safety-in-surfing-as-a-beginner-distance.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Sicherheit beim Surfen als Anf\u00e4nger Abstand&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Sicherheit beim Surfen als Anf\u00e4nger Abstand&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h2 id=\"distance\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Safety_in_surfing_%E2%80%93_Tip_4_%E2%80%93_Keep_the_distance\"><\/span><strong>Safety in surfing \u2013 Tip #4 \u2013 Keep the distance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nWhen your waiting for the next wave look for your own place in the line-up. Make sure that there are always at least <strong>a few meters distance<\/strong> between you and the other surfers. And, very important, <strong>never sit directly behind (or in front) of other surfers<\/strong>. When waiting for a wave you should <strong>always observe the open sea<\/strong> to see what is happening. Like that you don\u2019t only see what the other surfers are doing but also what kind of waves are coming towards you. The most accidents between surfers happen because they either didn\u2019t keep the distance or were not paying attention. That is why you should make sure you know the <strong>rules about the right of way in surfing<\/strong> before your first surf session. Do yourself and the other surfers the favour and avoid stress in the water.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/safety-in-surfing-beginner-risks.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Sicherheit beim Surfen als Anf\u00e4nger Gefahr&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Sicherheit beim Surfen als Anf\u00e4nger Gefahr&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.20.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<h2 id=\"nopanic\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Safety_in_surfing_%E2%80%93_Tip_5_%E2%80%93_Dont_panic_and_know_the_emergency_signals\"><\/span><strong>Safety in surfing \u2013 Tip #5 \u2013 Don\u2019t panic and know the emergency signals <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nWhat ever happens in the water \u2013 one of the most important tips is not to panic!\n\nSure, that\u2019s easier said than done. If you&#8217;ve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshsurf.de\/en\/learning-to-surf-with-the-whole-family\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"213\">learned some surf<\/a><strong> theory<\/strong> beforehand, you&#8217;ll at least have learnt how to react in certain situations.\n\nOne thing which lets you panic quite quickly as a beginner is the current. Should you get trapped in the current try to stay calm. It is important to <strong>paddle sideways and parallel to the beach out of the current<\/strong>.\n\nIf you are underwater for a little longer after a strong wipeout, don&#8217;t rush, but try to <strong>count backwards from 23 slowly and calmly<\/strong>. Most of the time you won&#8217;t even get to 20.\n\nIf you really do need help, it is important to know the <strong>emergency signal<\/strong> in the water. To do this, raise a hand clenched into a fist upwards as quickly as possible.
