Can anybody give me advice for a beginner water surfer?

Question

I really like it and it seems fun. This question is most likely for somebody who knows how to go through the beginner level of surfing. I am scared to always hop onto the wave with MY board, but my Mom said she'll buy me a new one for Sunday. Any advice on what waves can I jump on or what depth. Basically anything will help! Any appliances I might need! Please just tell me.

Answer 1

You mean boogie board advice! Lol.

Answer 2

start off with a longer board, even those are harder to paddle and manuever, those are a lot easier to catch waves with and even stand up!

Answer 3

youll robably want to get a rashgaurd and i agree with other guy a longboard is the best to learn on depth doesnt really matter if your just beginning youll probably want to use the white water in between the shore break and the first sandbar

Answer 4

best appliance you can get is a mentor. Do you know anybody with a lot of experience willing to get in the water and help you? start small. work on balance. don't go too deep until your ready. it took me a couple months before I was ready to fully ride a wave, but man is it worth it to know what your doing. I know a guy who got really messed up going too big trying to impress some girlz on the beach. Not a good idea. good luck
