You're catching your own waves — but if you're still missing a lot of them, that's ok too. Bottom line, you don't feel like a complete beginner anymore: you're paddling out on your own, picking your own waves, and starting to surf slightly steeper ones where you can actually move the board around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe'll be looking for waves that give you enough shape and time to actually think about what you're doing.
