Here are a few basic tips that apply to all board riders catching waves. If you are unsure, ask a lifeguard to explain.

• Priority goes to the person closest to the peak
• Do not snake
• Priority goes to the person furthest out
• Paddle wide, not through the peak
• Do not drop in
• If you are caught inside a wave, stay in the white water
• Do not throw your board
• Do not dive head first
• Priority goes to the person ‘first to feet’ or ‘on the wave’
• To communicate call ‘left’ or ‘right’
