Adopt the right techniques from your first electric surfing experience.
You might not know it, but for practicing this type of sport, it is really important to adopt the right techniques from your first surfing experience. Here is a list of tips we can give you to ensure your experience goes smoothly:
• Check the connections on your electric board.
• When you are on the water, it’s obvious that you won’t open the board or change the battery. You must do this once you are on dry land and also once your board is dry.
• Of course, at the beginning, you will need an instructor. At Custom Motors, we will provide you with all the safety instructions you need to follow.
To start, you need to choose a spacious environment!
When you are going to get on an electric board for the first time, it is very important to choose a spacious environment. Also, for your safety and the safety of others, it is preferable to reserve a space of at least 100 meters between you and other athletes. This way, in case of any issues, you won’t risk colliding with another person, thus avoiding many accidents.
It is important to watch out for various obstacles that might be in your path. Indeed, shallow reefs, jetties, debris, or sandbars can be very dangerous.
Knowing how to properly handle the electric board step by step!
When starting with electric surfing, it is very important to properly handle the board in question. Here’s what you need to keep in mind:
• Before activating the motor, lie down on the board with your arms forward.
• Start with a low speed. This will allow you to get a feel for the board and gradually master it.
• Once you feel ready, get on your knees on the board. Take your time. Once on your knees, the board will stabilize at 15 km/h.
• At this point, you can easily stand up. Take your time to stand up.
Learning to fall in electric surfing to avoid injuries!
If you want to avoid injuries, it is very important to learn how to fall in electric surfing. Here are some tips that will certainly help you handle falls:
• If you feel you are losing balance, it is important to fall to the side to avoid your board, which is subject to inertia and thus still in motion even when the motor is off.
• When approaching an obstacle, it is best to anticipate and avoid it; if that’s not possible, reduce your speed and position yourself on your knees on the board until a complete stop if necessary. To start again, ensure you are properly positioned on the board.
As you can see, electric surfing can really provide great sensations.
