Generally people begin surfing on long ultra buoyant boards that are easy to paddle and easy to balance on after the take off. If you don’t want to drop hundreds of dollars to try a sport your not sure you will like I would recommend you find a close surf shop and rent a board and wetsuit if you need it. If you have balance and can surf than the only difference between you and I is time in the water! I try to surf as much as I can to hone my skills, you must commit yourself

The first thing you need when you start surfing is a surfboard. For beginners, it is recommended to start on a longboard because it is much easier to stand up on over a shortboard. You can practice on the beach: 1. Lay the board down on the sand face up. 2. Lay on the board face down. 3. Jump up, pushing your arms out in front of you and moving your legs back onto the board. You want your legs to be one in front of the other. You want to do this all in one quick motion.

Today there are many surfing accessories in use that were not available to surfers of the 1960''s such as wetsuits, leashes and rash guards. Before the advent of wetsuits to keep them warm, many a surfer braved the frigid ocean water, especially in winter, in his bare skin. Now surfers can surf year-round, as well as in places with freezing cold water, and keep warm. Made of neoprene rubber, a wetsuit fits tightly against the surfer’s skin.

Since its hey day in the 1960’s, surfing through the ocean has become a popular past time. Riders love to pound the surf with their waxed boards and ride large waves into the shore. As like any sport, there is risk associated with surfing. Surfing implies that a rider can successfully use their arms and legs to maintain balance upon a surfboard as the wave begins to swell and crest. Most beginners will enjoy this sport because the cost of getting into surfing is relatively low.

The first thing you need is the right surfboard. Most people make the mistake of trying to learn how to surf on a board that is too short. They see pros riding short boards and think that's what they need. This is wrong and will only make you frustrated and give up trying to learn. Make sure you get a surfboard that is a least 9' long. You want it to be thick and wide as this will insure it's buoyant and stable.
