Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

just sit on the surfboard till a big wave comes and jump on the sucker but make sure ur sitting so u have a visual on the waves and if a bad one comes belly flop on it and go under it.

Answer 3

You don't have to be a certain age. Just go into a surf shop and tell them what you want to do. You have a few options...

Sign up for a surf camp type thing. Could be a week long, could be overnight, could be a couple days...

Have a single lesson. Just pay a guy somewhere around $50 for a couple hours..

They can tell you what the best option is. A camp is expensive. Go for a couple lessons then get yourself a board and go out often with some friends, or even by yourself, but the key word is often. You'll pick it up a lot faster if you go frequently. But have someone show you the basics, then practice practice until you get it. I would be happy to help.. where do you live?

Answer 4

its not that hard to surf, if you have any friends who surf ask them. if you want to surf somewhere go to San Onofre, California, because the break is really gentle, and its a good place for surfers to learn

Answer 5

I'm part of a surf lesson company called Girls Who Surf. We take everyone, old people to young people. We usually don't go to Waikiki Beach because it can get dangerous with all the other beginners in the water. We usually take our students to less crowded breaks outside of Waikiki for a true taste of the Hawaiian surfing experience.

If you are a minor (under 18 years of age), you need to have a parent or guardian sign our waiver form.
