Getting Some Assistance

Getting pulled into a wave has been around for quiet some time. Mostly used when the waves get to big to paddle into and you still want to surf. But what if the waves are smaller and not very good? Using a ski can help you get the speed you need to try different things on your board that you don't usually get to try. Yesterday, a buddy and me did this, and it’s been a while since the last time we have done it. Lets just say I took a couple to get used to going that fast on a wave again, but after a couple I got the hang of it again and was right back at it. Waves were perfect for it, around the 2-3ft range with the occasional 4ft and light onshore wind. Using a ski can help anyone progress their surfing much more quickly than regular surfing. With in a matter of 10-15 minutes you can catch about 10-15 waves or more! Usually you spend about 30-45 minutes trying to do this especially on a small inconsistent day like yesterday. What makes this really fun is that where you do this is usually uncrowded and you can find a good spot that know one even knows about or has checked. Surfing has evolved with the use of jet skis to help you not only surf bigger waves but also try bigger maneuvers on small waves. I am sure that almost every pro has used jet skis before to make otherwise terrible surf into a fun filled air session. So, if you are looking to excel with your surfing or just have a good time in some small waves, then get a jet ski or find a friend with one. I promise you won't be disappointed with the end result. 

Our end result: Lots of fun! A couple airs landed, and one huge floater across a scary but fun section. Learned a couple new things to try on my next surf, and that’s what its all about.
