Answer 2

you just need to have a lot of determination.  it's not something you learn in a week like snowboarding, so don't get frustrated.  practice lying flat on the ground and popping to your feet as fast as you can and into your snowboarding stance. the stance you use for snowboarding will be similar to the stance you use for surfing.

Answer 3

Probably not the advice you're looking for, but watch out for sharks! I really admire what you're doing - I'm too scared to try it. Good luck!

Answer 4

i love 2 board. i surf, skim, wake, body, skate and snowboard, and if u snowboard it can def help. its dif tho, cause ur not strapped in and u gotta use ur body more 2 do stuff. its really fun so u should def try it. and if u can u should try bodyboarding, its not as hard as surfing and u get 2 do lots more tricks and flips lolz.

Answer 5

stretching exercises for your shoulders

Answer 6

know how to swim

Answer 7

Don't wear shiny things on or have chum in pockets. Sharks like that stuff.
