Question

I suck at surfing... how can I have a chance to be good if my lady is a surfing genius?

Answer 1

Perhaps she will trade in her surfboard for you, or perhaps you could have fun learning with your lady on riding a thruster =P  While you learn from her how to surf, you could teach her some of your memorable moves as well ( and not necessarily being surfing moves ) Good Luck!

Answer 2

Take lessons... practice... workout...

Here's a great article called 'Learn How To Surf in One Day' that I always recommend to beginners:

Good luck, Romeo. :-)

Answer 3

i dont know where you live but if there are any local surf shops near bye definitely get lessons and i recommend rip sticks they are really good for practicing surfing if you cant be in the water every day

Answer 4

Nothing beats practice. Forget how much of a gumby you look and just get out there as much as you can. If its cold, buy a wetsuit. If you have trouble catching waves, get a longer board. An 8 foot board is an excellent strating point for most people. Theres plenty of time to update to a 6'1 kelly slater style toothpick down the track, when you are a strong paddler, can build speed easily and quickly along the wave, and bust airs at will.
