Firstly, catching a wave has a few key steps that you will need to follow in order to surf and have fun on the wave. When you start thinking about surfing, you need to approach it with confidence and the expectation of catching and surfing the wave rather then anticipating a failure.
To safety surf and catch a wave you will need a paddle, boat, helmet, spray skirt, and life jacket. Once you are equipped with a properly outfitted boat, paddle and gear you can approach the wave. You have one of three choices for your approach; you could ferry over from across the river above your wave; you could approach from the side of the wave, for example from an eddy; or lastly you could approach from above the wave, paddling upstream to come into the wave with the proper speed to catch it.
Once you are about to get on the wave, put in a rudder stroke to keep your boat straight and lean back. Congratulations, you have caught the wave! Keep your eyes upstream and enjoy the ride.
