    \n
  1. Cardio fitness\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You need endurance to paddle and chase down waves when you\u2019re learning, to help keep you in the water for longer, improving your general fitness and including regular cardio workouts can help you ride more waves. The more you ride the better you\u2019ll get.<\/span><\/p>\n

    2. Invest in the right gear<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re planning on moving from learner to pro, well intermediate first, obvs we recommend our epic <\/span>2-month development course<\/span><\/a> in Spot-X, where we have a selection of boards & wetsuits to help you fly on the water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    When you leave we recommend you invest in a good board that works for your skill level, our instructors can help you find a second-hand board, and invest in a good wetsuit to keep you in the water during winter.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3. Size up your surfboard<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Our Mojosurf instructors can help you select the right board to get you in the water, they\u2019ll show you how to size your board to match your ability. The right board is the secret to looking epic on the water.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    4. Understand your limits<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re in the water for a post-lesson surf know your limits, the surf conditions can change quickly so if it\u2019s getting too big, too powerful make your wa<\/span>y in for a break! No one likes admitting defeat, but it\u2019s better to get out while you\u2019re ahead.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    5. Surf Fuel\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Surfing requires high energy, so good food & drinks lots of water and post-surf beers are a must, I mean you deserve beer after hours chasing waves! If you\u2019re surfing in winter thermos of hot tea, coffee or milo is a must!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

    6. Keep your eyes OPEN\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    When you\u2019re learning one of the must-have skills you\u2019ll learn onboard a Mojosurf trip is duck diving under the wave, you\u2019ll need this to break through the whitewash to discover the best waves. Open your eyes under the water, you\u2019ll see the whitewash over you, so you\u2019ll be able to easily find the surface of the water quickly. Also critical if you come off a wave to easily find the surface.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    7. Plant your hands<\/strong><\/p>\n

    You\u2019ll learn to pop up on the surfboard before taking off on the wave, remember put your hands on your board before popping up, and don\u2019t hold onto the rails. Trust me, it\u2019s easier said than done, but this simple tip can keep you on your board and help you get to your feet faster!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    8. Eat, Sleep, Surf. Repeat.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The biggest secret to get you from learner to pro is consistency in the water. Surf, surf every day, every opportunity – and you\u2019ll fast track your development. And, the added benefit is surfing will take you to wildly beautiful surf destinations all around the world from <\/span>Byron<\/span><\/a> to <\/span>Bali<\/span><\/a> and beyond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
