![]() ![]() ![]() Of course, learning together with my peers also made it easier for me as everyone exchanges knowledge and experiences from different levels.' Some teachers here really like teaching about it, and I had a lot of fun screwing around with the tools and creating cool, but sometimes also silly things. Especially Blender became something really fun for me as I grew to understand it better with the help of peers and teachers. Of course, I have much more to learn as I have just started creating 3D models with Blender and working with game engines like Unity. Not only in hard skills like coding and modelling, but also soft skills like teamwork, coordination and research. Having finished the first year I can say that I learnt a lot about what it takes to make a video game. 'The study itself is also a great experience. The Zernike campus is a nice place with great facilities that are all within walking distance of each other.' Be positive, respectful and unselfish.'I have a wonderful place near the campus that shows how easy it is to get around in the small but lively city of Groningen. When you get to a surf spot, take time to feel and analyze the vibe. These surfers might have been surfing these waves for years since they are kids. This means some local surfers are more “inviting” to strangers than others, and this varies in different surf spots. Some spots are more “localized” than others. If you are new to surfing, you might not know this. ![]() This is a very important aspect of surf ethics. If you are closer to the peak, then you will be the one with the longest ride, so you have priority. If a surfer is catching the wave further inside, closer to the peak, he has priority. So how to know if it’s your wave or somebody else’s? When you paddle for a wave, look on both sides (right and left) before you take off. This way the lone surfer can enjoy specific powerful areas of the wave, where only 1 surfer can fit. Quality waves are meant to be ridden by only 1 surfer. Basically, it means “stealing” somebody else’s wave. The drop in is the main violation of surf ethics. They are the ones who can really tell you where to go according to your surf level. But the best thing is to have knowledgeable and experienced surfers that have been surfing the area for a long time. As you can see on the right column, they tell you what type of board you need, adequate surf level, tide, swell, bottom, etc.ĭoing some research on the web is always good. Our favourite is because professionals have written it and their info is usually very accurate. There are many surf websites and forums loaded with information on surf spots. If you want to know if a spot is good for your level, you must not only look up the spot info but also the daily wave conditions. ![]() To make things even more confusing, some spots can be perfect to learn on some days, and on other days only be good for experts. But the truth is, there are some sandy beach breaks for advanced surfers, and some rocky point breaks for beginner surfers. Of course, it’s better to fall on sand than on rocks or coral reefs. This is true, but only to a certain extent. Many surfers will tell you: “start on a beach break, it’s safer”. It can determine whether you have the best time of your life or the worst. ![]()
