Be aware of your surroundings: While surfing, always be aware of other surfers around you in order to avoid collisions and to avoid injury.


Learn how to fall properly: If you fall off your surfboard remember to cover the back of your head with your hands, and be sure your wrists cover your ears and that your elbows stay together. Doing so will help to protect your head and face in case you collide with your surfboard.
