I don't know about you guys, but for me, the smaller the waves are, the more injuries i get. There was this incident once when i went surfing in a 2ft wave at a mid-tide w/ a bit of tube rides over a shallow sand bank. i fell off then that almost knocked me out, almost broke my neck. i was bleeding, it even left rashes on my face!

when i was starting to learn how to surf i started with small waves.. it's easy learning the fundmentals of surfing by riding small waves, actually waves that are little as shin high are enough to propel a surfer...

Yes my friend. Sometimes, it can happen - small waves being more dangerous that going to a big wave surfing. That only shows how dangerous surfing games and surfing waves can be.. But fortunately, i haven't experienced that yet..

Keep in mind that unlike in big wave surfing, you are the ones doing most of the work when surfing in small waves. That means more energy is needed, so i suggest that if you're not surfing, you take some cardio training. Since the waves are small, you'll be the one to do most of the work.
Watch ur surf gear set too! You may also want to change your surfboard fins. Or change your leash, get a thin one if possible. LAST but not the least, position ur surfboards in such a way that the wave can't knock it back on ur face. Bec that's the most common cause of injuries in surfing.
