Get it totally wired and dialed, whether you "rip" or are just an average surfer, really tune in how your home break works and be one of those people who is always in the right place for the best waves of the sets, etc. Your time in the water is going to return a lot more when you have the break wired and you should get the most out of the place you surf most often. This can mean surfing it when it is sub-par, over-crowded, or on fire and extremely challenging. You gotta paddle out anyway and deal. As a result you will wind up at the top of your local pecking order too, which will prepare you better for paddling out elsewhere and cracking lineups, competing with others who have their spot dialed, etc.<BR/><BR/>Okay well maybe two things -- one more:<BR/><BR/>Keep a (private!!!! please!!!) log of tidal conditions relative to surf quality at your home break and how well you found it / surfed it every time you paddled out. Being able to compare forecasts / current reports to conditions you've surfed before and logged helps. A lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
