One of the top surfing spots in California, if not the entire United States, is undoubtedly Santa Cruz. For those who are more experienced, Cowell’s Beach is a step up from Pleasure Point and Capitola Beach. Further south, it is simple to understand why Huntington Beach, California, is known as Surf City USA. It has 16 kilometers of unbroken shoreline and reliable year-round surf. Huntington Beach has hosted multiple annual surfing competitions, including the esteemed US Open of Surfing and NSSA Championships, since Duke Kahanamoku first paddled there in 1922. Due to its combination of history and status as a global center of surf culture, it continues to be one of the most well-known surf places in the world.
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.
