Surf Talk Guru

When most people think of tow in surfing they think of giant waves and the worlds most hard core big wave riders searching for the biggest wave ever ridden. This is only one face of the exciting sport of towin surfing. Another aspect of tow surfing that I think often gets overlooked is small wave tow surfing.

By using a waverunner to pull a surfer into a wave you gain a significant advantage over paddling in with your arms. The waverunner allows you to catch waves over a much greater area, get into the wave earlier and ride more waves during a surf session. However, learning to drive a waverunner in the surf is a skill in and of itself. In order to get the basics and set yourself up to be succesful, a tow in surfing lesson where you are taught to drive the waverunner is a must.
