Surfing the White Wash: Paddeling A Surfboard + Catching Waves

If its your first time or your just getting into surfing your probably going to start catching waves in the “white wash” (thats most surf instructors suggestion).  The “white wash” is the area between the outside breaking waves and the beach, its the “rush” of white foam heading into the beach and gives a new or learning surfer a high chance for having fun and catching a wave, lots of people try to “bodysurf” the whitewash, you may have to in the past.  Be careful, surfing and the surf lifestyle is addicting, it may change your life!
