Surfing in 360

Learn How To Surf In 360 Degree Video Tutorial

Surfing is one of the best sports to directly experience mother nature, many surfers would agree that just being out there in the water makes their life better and more balanced. However, surfing is also probably one of the hardest sports to learn. Not only it requires you to be physically fit to paddle, you must also learn how to read waves, and display proper surf etiquette…. something that most beginning surfers lack.

 

There are many articles that write about the basics of surfing, but being able to learn from an instructor or pro surfer on the beach and/or out in the water is far more efficient learning than reading articles to obtain instructions.
