[2026-03-25 Wed 13:19] Ultra learning surfing - Why, how and what?

The second goal is surfing.

Why? Purely intrisic goal: my main motivation is to have fun. I started surfing 10 years ago, but my level is barely past the beginner level. I want to use ultra learning principle as a way to get to the next level in my practice. The end goal is to increase my surfing skill, which will then help with my kiting skills.

What? Within six month, I want to be confortable in all conditions on my longboard. I want to be able to walk it up and down, and score a few hang five, maybe hang ten. I want to paddle with ease and confidence.

How?

• Surf once or twice a week.

For each session, I will define a target practice: paddling, eyes, walking the board, pop up. I will concentrate on that skill for 2/3 of the session, and once the predefine goal is reach, I will simply surf for fun.

• Join the local surf club, which goes out once a month.
• Watch videos to improve my wave reading, with “pause and guess” quizzes.
