Sit back on your board until the nose is up out of the water. Kick your legs in an egg beater motion to turn the board around toward the shore. Position yourself in your sweet spot and get ready to paddle for the wave using long, smooth, deep strokes. When you see a wave coming, get into position as near the peak as you can without appearing to be a "wave hog." When you are satisfied that you are in a good position to catch the wave, paddle like there's no tomorrow and give it all you've got! If you feel yourself falling, or if the wave dies down, jump away from the board towards the ocean and away from your momentum. A good idea is to fall to the side or the back of the board, covering your head with your arms as you fall. Go with the flow, letting the wave carry you. Swim upwards gently and feel what's ahead of you to avoid getting hit by the board. Try to land flat so that you won't injure yourself in shallow water or on a reef. Once you have safely surfaced, pull your leash and climb back onto your board to prevent it from scything or flopping through the water, which can cause serious injury to you or others. Climb aboard, rest on your belly, and regain control. Most wipe out injuries happen as a result of the board hitting the surfer. Always remember to bail to the ocean side of your board. You don't want to be between the beach and your board when a wave has control of the board. If you are riding for the very first time, it's great to rent a foam surfboard rather than a fiberglass one, as they are softer and less likely to cause you injury while learning. After you wipeout or bail, you need to get out of the way so that other people can surf. Don't paddle up the middle of the break where other surfers will be coming. Instead, paddle off to the side first, to keep the wave zone clear. You'll probably slide or fall off the first few times, but don't be deterred. Some people can learn in an afternoon, while others take a few weeks to get the hang of things. Keep trying and you'll eventually make it. Avoid getting to your knees and stopping. If you're going to commit, commit and stand up. Going to your knees is like saddling the horse but not riding it. Enjoy the ocean and have fun.

Q: When writing instructions, make sure to format them clearly. This helps the reader understand how to read the instructions and not get confused. Use a headings to label each discrete part of the instructions. Use numbers when listing the steps in order. Use bullets to list alternatives, additional information, or anything else under the steps. Visually separate the steps. Place a space between the steps to show a difference. The title of the instructions should give an exact preview of what the instructions will explain. For example, "Instructions for Baking an Eggless Chocolate Cake" is much more specific than "Chocolate Cake." Some instructions require diagrams, pictures, charts, or other visual aids to help. Supplement the instructions with these visuals when needed. The visuals should repeat the ideas in the prose, not present any new information. Visuals are supplement material. Make sure visuals are near the prose. It should go above, below, or beside the step.
A: Format the instructions. Choose an effective title. Use visuals and diagrams if necessary.

Article: Before the chocolate coating has hardened, sprinkle chocolate chips onto the brownie pops. Mini chocolate chips work well for this. Alternate between white, dark, and milk chocolate chips to create variety in your pops. Normal or large sized chocolate chips may not stick well to your brownie pops. While the chocolate coating is still sticky, sprinkle nuts over the pops to coat them. Full-sized nuts may not stick easily to the brownie pop coating. Use a food processor or a knife to chop the nuts into small pieces, and sprinkle these over your brownie pops. So that people with nut allergies can still enjoy your brownie pops, separate the pops in half. Sprinkle nuts on one half and keep the other plain. Keep the two separate to prevent cross contamination. Finely shredded coconut should easily stick to the coating while it is still soft. You may only want to coat a portion of your brownie pops in coconut shavings. Some individuals may not like this topping. Sprinkles are an ideal topping for brownie pops. They're small enough that they'll stick to the chocolate coating with little effort, so long as the coating is still sticky. Dust the brownie pops with sprinkles as desired. Alternatively, fill a small mixing bowl with sprinkles. After dipping the brownie pop in chocolate, allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl with melted chocolate. Roll the coated brownie pop in the sprinkles to cover it with them.

Article: There are a variety of health benefits to your kitten if you get it spayed or neutered. These benefits, in spite of the difficulty of surgery, make getting your kitten fixed worth the discomfort it may experience. For example, spayed cats will not suffer from ovarian or uterine cancer, or uterine infections, later in life. Getting a kitten spayed or neutered doesn't just affect the cat. It also can have a positive impact on you and your family. For example, spaying and neutering your kitten will eliminate the chances of an accidental pregnancy, which in turn will eliminate the chances of you having to deal with a litter of additional kittens. Spayed and neutered cats are also less likely to fight. This means that in a multi-cat household, female cats that are spayed are more likely to get along and male cats are likely to be less aggressive and less territorial. For male cats, this means they are less likely to spray in your home to mark their territory. Stopping your kitten from reproducing in the future helps to limit the pet population overall. Fewer cats that are capable of reproduction means that fewer cats can be produced overall. Also, if you are debating whether or not to have your kitten fixed, just remember that any kittens your kitten has in the future will take homes away from cats that live in shelters and that don't have families. In many cases, these cats are even put down due to a lack of space and resources.
