Question

i have been surfing for 3 years now and am 12 years old. i can do a bottom turn and a cutback should i be going in competitions now? and do you now any good/cheap 2nd hand chilli surfboard websites? thank you for all your help.

Answer 1

Yes, you should go in a surfing competition and show off your moves..

and no sorry, i dont know any websites that your looking for.

Answer 2

ya man go in the comp. in like a year when your really good you may be glad you had the experience.

Answer 3

Just do it.

When you're 20, and hanging out with the ladies, and having the time of your life, you'll be happy you have a foot in competitive surfing.

You might be sponsored, you might make money from it, you might even be semi-pro!!

Just do it, young dude, don't think!

Head down....;-)

Answer 4

Mate, its up to you. What do YOU want from surfing comps? Do you want to be a pro? Do you just want to do it because everyone else is doing it? Do it and have fun doing it. Is it your local boardriders club or full on competition? Your local boardriders club are the best kinds of comps when your starting out as they can give ya pointers on surfing in comps and the atmosphere is a bit less intimidating. Good social aspect too as you get to hang with your mates for a whole day of the competition. Do some judging as well as this helps your understanding of scoring waves.

Don't just do it for the fortune & glory (although it is appealing there are a lot of responsibilities and pressures)

Answer 5

YES!!! Its best that you start young so that you can start getting comfortable with them. Also, competitions are a great way to see what you might need to improve on. Besides what do you have to lose?

Answer 6

Of course you should. Competitons are fun... remember: and remember this well "The best surfer is the one having the most fun!" Good luck little buddy.

Answer 7

whatever floats your boat....er....surfboard.

Answer 8

Go for it. What's the worst that could happen? I am not really into competition personally, but I wish I could surf as good as the Pros I read about every day. You have to start somewhere little buddy. Give it a try, and good luck.

Answer 9

You don't have to win to have fun competing. You'll get experience as well.
