How long does it take to get good at surfing?

Question

Good meaning people actually look at you and say woa hes good!

Answer 1

It all depends on How much YOU want to get good at this.

Just try practicing 3 times a week- [or more if u like].

Also, u might want to try balance excercises. They will help alot when u are out in the waves trying to stand on your board.

In no time, you will be surfing like a pro in Cali.

Just practice, practice, practice! =D

Answer 2

depends! If your not a quik learner and your just starting it will probably take a while. Remember to practice. It took me a little less than a 2 weekd to learn

Answer 3

10 days.

1. Before you go, learn to drop in on a skate ramp, preferably a 4 foot miniramp or local skatepark. If you can't do it there, you wont be able to drop into a wave, trust me.

2. Get in excellent physical shape, able to run 4 miles in 30 minutes, 40 pushups, 10 pullups and 40 situps.

3. Go to Hawaii with a shortboard when there is a solid swell. Learn how to use surfline.com

4. Now your 10 days begin. Spend the first day at Waikiki with a longboard rental you can find on the beach to begin. As soon as you feel comfortable dropping turning, move on to a more advanced spot.

5. Day 9 and 10: Surf Sunset or Pipeline. Get a photo of yourself in the barrel and you'll blow minds and maybe even get in a magazine.

Answer 4

It all depends on your natural ability.  Like anything else it takes some people longer than others.

Answer 5

Depends on how often you surf, and what variety of waves and conditions you put yourself in.

Answer 6

It takes years, bro.
