Answer 5

As soon as you are a good swimmer that can handle the rip and side currents in decent size surf. I learned how to bodyboard when I was 5 and surf when I was 7.

Answer 6

I think the bigger quesion/concern should be:

How is your health? Do you have some kind of problem that could be compounded by participating in a rigorous activity like this?

Can you swim? Do you know how to handle yourself during worst-case scenario situations in the ocean (rip tide, huge wave, marine animal attack/threat)?

(For the younger ones) Will you have a qualified surf instructor/ lifeguard/adult supervising you?

I don't believe you're ever "too old" or "too young" to pursue a goal.

Answer 7

any age below 75.

Answer 8

Yeah if you are talking about yourself... you're old enough. If you want to teach a kid, make sure they are competent swimmers and stuff. The ocean is much rougher than a pool and you can't always have an eye and a hand on them to save them. Make sure they are old enough to be safe and understand.

Never too old.
