Intermediate surfers are those who are able to catch green waves without guidance or being pushed into a wave. An intermediate surfer will have transitioned from a soft top to a fibreglass board, and depending on how skilled they are, they may be on a shortboard. An intermediate surfer will have the ability to ride down the line with control of their surfboard and have a basic feel for how the weight distribution affects the speed and flow of the surfboard through the wave face. The intermediate surfer will be able to read the wave as it breaks down the line, identifying when they are too deep and need to speed up or they are too far on the shoulder and need to do a cutback. They will be able to make more challenging drops, and be able to identify where to sit in the line-up.
