1. Respect the right of way:


One of the most important rules in surfing is to respect the right of way. This means that the surfer closest to the peak of the wave has priority. 

If you are paddling into a wave and another surfer is already riding it, you should always give way and paddle around. Similarly, if you are catching a wave and another surfer is already paddling out, you should avoid him and not enter the wave where he is.


2. Avoid snaking:


"Snaking" is a term used to describe when one surfer paddles around another to get priority of a wave. It is considered disrespectful and can lead to dangerous collisions. Always wait your turn and respect the right of way.


3. Keep your distance:


When surfing, it is important to maintain a safe distance from other surfers. Avoid standing too close to other surfers and their boards, as collisions can cause serious injury. It is also important to keep a safe distance when paddling or waiting for waves.


4. Share the waves:


Surfing is a social activity and it is important to share the waves with others. Don't be greedy or try to catch every wave. Be aware of the waves and the other surfers. If you see a beginner struggling, offer some tips and encouragement.


5. Respect the environment:


Surfing is a privilege, and it's important to respect the environment. Don't leave litter on the beach or in the water and always try to dispose of your waste properly. Respect local wildlife and avoid disturbing habitats.


7. Be patient and stay calm:


Surfing can be frustrating, especially when the waves are not easy. But it's important to be patient and stay calm. Don't project your frustrations onto other surfers and avoid confrontations in the water. 

Remember: surfing should be a fun activity, try to enjoy the experience regardless of the conditions.
