Answer 2

Become as strong a swimmer as you can. THen surf as much as you can. Surfing is confidence and not fearing the elements, ie: Drowning. Build a base of Waterman talent as you go.

Answer 3

Borrow a board and go out with someone who knows what they're doing.  If none of your friends surf, take a lesson.  They will teach you the basics about paddling, catching a wave, standing up, and basic surf etiquette.  

Don't be too anxious to go out and buy your first board right away.  Most places will rent them for about $8 an hour, with discounted rates after the first hour.  

Once you kinda get the hang of it, and you know this is something you want to pursue, go ahead and buy a board.  I recommend getting a used board for your first.  Unless you're going to get a mass-produced foamy, like the ones they sell at Costco.  They're fine boards, but they don't have the best reputation out in the water, so you may get teased a bit.  

If you want to improve your strength and muscle mass, swim in your free time and do some push ups every morning and night.  

However, the best way to improve your surfing is to surf.  So, just get out there as much as you can and have fun!

Answer 6

i started by using a friends board a couple of times until i realized that i could surf and that i liked it. get a board and go surfing when the waves are small. don't catch the big waves outside, but catch the white wash inside. just let it push you along and stand up, get used to your board, and learn how to turn. once you feel comfortable you can go outside on a REALLY SMALL DAY and catch waves. for board size, get as large of board as possible. i'm your age and i use a 7 foot hardboard. i suggest a 8 - 8.5 foot softboard. even 9 foot would be good. surf surf surf until you get used to it. if you like the ocean, you'll love surfing! good luck
