The biggest mistake beginner surfers make (and it's definitely not what you think)

Surfer Mag says there are 8 beginner mistakes. We say… Gimme a break. In this episode, we break down why beginner surf advice is often so off—especially when it's written by people who haven't been beginners in decades. We're not here to nitpick whether your back foot is too far back or whether your pop-up is "fast enough." We're here to talk about the one mistake that actually matters: going into surfing with your eyes closed and believing everything you read online. That's where it all goes sideways.
