Paddling is an integral aspect of surfing that many people miss. Make sure you don't paddle straight into the waves where people are surfing as you paddle out to the line up. Make sure you're paddling where no one else is surfing and the waves aren't crashing. This can seem difficult at times, especially on large beach breaks, but you don't want to get run over by another surfer.Make sure you paddle out behind someone who is riding a wave or speed paddle to get over the wave.
