Osmanski fell in love with surfing at a young age. As an officer and fighter
pilot in the United States Navy, he found himself on the water frequently and
developed a penchant for surfing. Joshu Osmanski has been out of the military since 2014
and continues to love the water and catching big waves. Osmanski is always
looking for the next best place to put his board in the water and paddle out to
catch the next wave.

Here are three tips he always tells beginners:
- Don’t go completely untrained

Osmanski usually recommends attending a surfing course before hitting the
waves, but at the very least, beginners should take someone more experienced
along who can teach them how to surf safely.
- Dress appropriately
Many
surfers take to the water with nothing but their swimsuit and their board,
which is just fine for warm waters, usually. But if you’re unsure of the water
temperature, consider a wetsuit. Getting hypothermia is easier than it seems,
even if the air is relatively warm.
- Find a board that fits
Many
people take boards that don’t balance them properly and wipe out frequently,
causing frustration. Getting a board first-timers feel comfortable makes a
large difference.

he does. He teaches his friends when they need help and assists in recommending
the right gear and locations whenever he can. Osmanski is a real estate
