It’s little wonder California has become one of the most surf-obsessed regions on the planet with more than 800 miles of coastline directly exposed to the Great Pacific and some of the most famous waves and surf communities in the world. There are a lot of surf spots along the coast, and although there are a lot of breaks along with crowds, you can still find some hidden gems if you look hard enough.
Intermediate Level
The two fundamental moves in surfing—the bottom-turn and the cutback—are what make a surfer at this level. On a shoulder-high wave, an Intermediate surfer is able to tilt the board and launch themselves without incident. The bottom-turn, which is surfing’s primary turning maneuver, is regarded as the sport’s foundational move since it allows for riding waves with an open face. The cutback is the second most crucial turn. It enables the surfer to avoid getting caught in the slowest region, known as the “shoulder of the wave,” and return to the wave’s energy source. An intermediate surfer knows how to duck dive, maintain a linear trajectory on the surf line, and how to bail out without hurting himself and others in the process. In addition, an intermediate level surfer knows how to read surf reports and plan his session(s) in advance.
