Safety tips from a surf coach
While speaking to Briefly News, Michaylah Petersen (a Cape Town-based surf coach) explained the safety tips for people interested in surfing who may be less flexible.
- Warm up and stretch before entering the water.
- Avoid strong surf conditions like strong currents, riptides, or large waves.
- Surf close to shore, where you can return in case of any possible danger.
- Start with a long, soft-top board to indicate to others in the water that you are a beginner surfer. This board also helps with balance and flexibility, as it is more stable.
