Paddling out looks easy… until you actually try it. In this edit, I’m breaking down the five things surfers never really tell you about paddling out. From the chaos of timing sets, to the struggle of duck dives, to that silent workout your arms never signed up for — this is the side of surfing nobody talks all that much about.
Whether you’re new to surfing, just curious about what it’s really like, or a veteran who knows the pain all too well, you’ll definitely relate to this list. And it just might help you the next time the paddle out look relentless.
