Things to watch out for when surfing.

1. When you go out to sea with a surfboard, the angle of the surfboard in your hand should be in a straight line. Never put the surfboard in front of your body to prevent the waves from hitting the surfboard and hitting your body.

2. When the surfboard collides with the waves, do not pull the safety rope and the surfboard with your hands to avoid hurting your hands.

3. Beginner surfers, please check your equipment, safety ropes and life jackets before entering the water, and do a 20-minute warm-up exercise before you can surf in the sea.

4. Beginner surfers should strengthen hand strike training, physical training, foot training, as well as forward turn and breath-hold training in water.

5. If you see jellyfish appear or are bitten by jellyfish while surfing at sea, please go ashore and rest.
