New to surfing, has anyone any tips on how i can get better?

Question

Surfing as in on a board in the sea !! In those ohhh soo beautifall waves of froth, seaweed and sewage..

Answer 1

I'm new too surfing and have only done it once but managed to get up on it straught anyway. But I guess you should start on small (higher than 2feet atleast) and just get used to what your doing and focus. Try turning the board and learn to control it then try and get out on some bigger waves.

Thats probably a good way to do it, but I wouldn't really know. But hope that helps.

Answer 2

Get a bigger board that actually floats you.  If you got one of those paper thin craouch rockets you will have more difficulty in learning.  Go to the surfshop and buy a used funboard to learn on.

Answer 3

so you're still a n00b.

you need to learn from t3H 1337 Surfers at the beach.

Answer 4

Listen to the Beach Boys . . .lol

Answer 5

Just a lot of plain old practice over and over again. Don't give up. One day it will all come together, and you'll be surfing with the best!!

Good luck!!

Answer 6

The more you stay in the water and practice the better you will become!

I learned on a long board first and did that for a month (3x per week).  The transition to a shorter board was much easier as a result.
