Surf Myths Busted: how many did you get right? 🏄‍♂️❓

Think you know everything about surfing? We put Marco on the spot with a rapid-fire True or False quiz to clear up some of the most common myths beginners and enthusiasts bring to the beach.

Surfing without a wetsuit is definitely possible, but it entirely depends on where you are in the world. While Caribbean waters might welcome you at 30 degrees, the Atlantic requires the right thermal protection to keep you warm and comfortable throughout your session.

Many beginners assume that the "lineup" is the moment you stand up on the board, but that is false. The lineup is actually that imaginary line beyond the breaking waves where surfers sit on their boards and wait for the next set.

When it comes to weather, strong winds are for windsurfers, not surfers. The absolute dream conditions are glassy, calm waters with little to no wind. And as for the best time to surf? Noon is definitely not the answer, unless your main goal is having lunch!

Big waves don't always mean good waves! 🌊🔍

Is every wave rising on the horizon worth paddling for? Marco breaks down one of the most important skills in surfing: reading the ocean so you stop wasting energy on unsurfable waves.

A wave is truly surfable when it breaks progressively, opening up a clean green face that allows you to take off and ride smoothly down the line. Wave height alone doesn't matter if the wave doesn't offer a clean wall to work with.

An unsurfable wave, on the other hand, rises up like a solid wall and closes out all at once, crashing instantly into a mass of foam. Factors like tides and water depth play a massive role too. Too much water can make waves disappear completely, while shallower sections cause them to pop up fast and break quickly.

Learning to read these ocean cues from the beach saves your arms, keeps you safe, and guarantees you only paddle for the sets that offer real rides. At Surf Therapy, we teach you how to analyze the horizon so you can pick the best waves with total confidence.

Forget boring stretches because our pre-surf warm-up looks a little different! 🕺🌊

Before paddling out into the ocean, Lou climbs right on top of our surf van to lead a full-on beach dance party that gets the entire crew moving, laughing, and pumping with energy.

Combining squats, mobility movements, and pure rhythm on the sand is about much more than just preventing injuries in the water. It wakes up your muscles, gets your heart rate going, and completely dissolves any pre-surf nerves before you even touch a surfboard.

Surfing should feel amazing from the second you arrive at the beach until the moment you pack up your wetsuit. Starting the session with music, sunshine, and shared laughter turns a group of individual surfers into a tight crew that supports each other on every single wave.

Golden rule of the ocean: don't try to be a hero! 🌊🚩

Surfing is all about freedom and fun, but ocean awareness always comes first. Marco gathered our crew before paddling out to share a vital lesson about reading a surf spot, respecting local conditions, and knowing your limits.

If you arrive at a world-famous surfing destination like Fuerteventura, look out at the ocean, and see absolute perfection with zero people in the water, take a step back. When the waves are great but the lineup is completely empty, something is wrong. There could be dangerous rip currents, shallow reefs, or even jellyfish.

Smart surfers don't take unnecessary risks. If you are visiting a new beach or if the conditions suddenly change, always take a moment to ask local surfers about the spot. Being comfortable in the water starts with humility, observation, and making safe choices before you even put your leash on.

Meet your "bastard friend" in the water: the leash! 🌊🔗

It might not look like much, but mastering how to properly attach and handle your leash is the absolute first real step toward becoming an independent surfer. As Marco explains, it is the one piece of equipment that keeps you connected to your board when things get chaotic in the lineup.

Understanding how to secure it to your board is crucial for both your safety and the longevity of your gear. In our sessions, we make sure every student learns the exact technique, from threading the string to securing the triple-lock velcro so it never comes loose or damages the rail under pressure.

Watching our students like Michela master these essential routine steps on the beach before paddling out is what true progression is all about. When you know your gear is secured properly, you can head into the waves with total confidence and zero worries.

From absolute fun to the hard truth about shortboards! 🏄‍♂️😄

What makes a surf trip truly unforgettable? It is a mix of non-stop laughter on the beach, trying new challenges, and having a supportive crew to share every single moment with. We caught up with our students fresh out of the water to get their raw, unfiltered thoughts on the week.

Giorgia could not hide her smile while sharing how much fun the group is having every single day. On the other side of the beach, one of our guys decided to test out a shortboard for the first time, quickly realizing that smaller does not always mean easier! From finding the best spots around Fuerteventura like Lagunita to analyzing wave footage right from the back of our van, every day brings a new adventure.

At Surf Therapy, we make sure your progression is backed by real coaching. Between detailed dry-land drills on the sand and personalized video analysis after the session, you will always know exactly how to improve your technique before hitting the lineup again.

Rushing to a smaller surfboard? Think twice! 🏄‍♂️⚠️

It is a very common belief in the surfing world that moving to a shortboard as quickly as possible automatically makes you an advanced surfer. But as Marco explains, skipping steps can actually ruin your progression and lead to a lot of frustration in the water. Using a smaller board doesn't make you better; it just changes the demands of the sport.

The right time to transition to a smaller or harder board is only when you have completely mastered the basics. You should think about changing your material once you can comfortably paddle out to the lineup, catch waves entirely on your own, and successfully surf them down the line, managing your take-off and turns smoothly.

Moving to a smaller board introduces a completely different dynamic. The ride becomes much faster and everything feels way more reactive, but the board will demand a lot more from you. It requires significantly stronger paddling, absolute precision in your stance, and much quicker reflexes. Mastering the fundamentals on a high-volume board first is the only real secret to unlocking high performance later.
