@surftarot: All I see on my feed is people getting pushed, especially on to big waves. I hate that it's normal. It shouldn't be. You are hurting your surfing more than you realize, and you'll forever be dependent on someone when you surf. That's not even the worst part. You're not learning to read to wave, you're taking off at the wrong spot and you're standing up too early. I could go on. I don't always blame the surfer, because I know that some surf instructors insist on pushing. Many times I had to assert myself and say no when they tried to push me. But it's up to all of us to stand up and say something. Surfing isn't easy but that's not the point. It's challenging but also incredibly rewarding.. when you do it yourself. Next time you're thinking of getting pushed, I urge you to think twice. #surftok #surftips #surfeducation #surfproblems #surfing

Getting pushed is not just about avoiding a skill deficit. It helps you maximize the amount of waves you catch AND it actually teaches you about positioning and timing. As someone who doesn't get to surf a lot, I simply want to make the most of my time in the water.

for some people surfing is not that serious so let’s relax, everyone should focus on their own approach to surfing

when you juste have two weeks a year to learn in paradise small waves, transitionning from beginner to intermediate is really hard, so at my local spot which is a mess I learn by myself but in indonesia I dont way no to a push it helps me, and only in uncrowded spots

as someone who’s first 4 lessons involved push-in’s, those were my favorite ever! they were so fun and it was great getting to experience surfing while on holiday. It didn’t affect my surfing abilities later on when my interest in progressing eventually began. let people have fun and do what they enjoy🤌🏼 not everyone has the ability to practice everyday and become a pro.

What about groms that are good and aren’t strong enough and the waves are bad but if it is good strong waves u agree it is also sometimes annoying and failing helps

I thought this for a long time...hated when coaches pushed you onto waves when I can catch my own (and love the satisfaction of that). But then I plateaued at the same level and needed help with turns and traveling/position down the wave. I found I had such a small amount of time to figure it out when I paddled myself, so I did take some pressure off all the paddling to focus on the turns/travel and it actually helped. Now I'm back to paddling for my own and my surfing is better! And I think if you have more time to learn the paddle/positioning great but most people don't and just want to catch many waves.
