Hold or Throw

Know when to hold on to your surfboard and when to get rid of it. If you are paddling out, then keep hold of your board. Youll get back to the line up more quickly, and youll not put anyone paddling out behind you at risk. If you are about to wipe out, get rid of your board. You are far more likely to sustain an injury if you and your board are getting washed around together.
