Underwater rocks, coral reefs and other unseen formations can damage you and your surfboard. Even visible jetties can be a problem, since most of the formation is unseen. Jellyfish and other creatures can deliver a nasty sting. Watch out for all these by getting familiar with the common water movements that signal their presence.Failure to exercise common sense and good judgment is another leading cause of injury for too many surfers. When you’re beginning, it’s easy to get carried away with the excitement and challenge. It’s great to be enthusiastic, but don’t take on waves bigger than your skills can handle. Make sure you have attached your surfboard ankle leash. Don’t be too eager to shoot a curl or surf among the pier pilings because it looks cool.
