lie on your stomach on the ground, push yourself up to a standing position, and keep a low balance. Now do the same in the water on a small wave and walla..you are surfing

Answer 6

Well if you've never been surfing before, i would suggest you start with a long board..No shorter than a 7footer.

The shorter the board is the more work for starters...So start with that first..Maybe even start with the foam boards just in case theres a wave that knocks you down and that way if the board lands on you or hurts you in any way, the board will be a little more softer...Start with the little waves first close to shore...You dont want to get too deep because the waves might be bigger, it all depends...Make sure you know how to swim very well...Even pros have died from surfing...

But all in all, you'll fall many times at first, but you'll get the hang of it! We all start from the bottom...Have fun...Oh and yeah practice a little in the grass, put your board on the floor, act like you're peddling, and try your propping up in to your stance position...

If you've skated before(skateboard) it should be a little more easy;)

have fun;)
