Surfing???

Question

I am aware 10ft waves is well over what it should be for a beginner but if I didn't go in them I wouldn't get to go for another 3 weeks (now you understand why I took them on right?) By the way I loved getting wiped out tee hee

Answer 1

i think you should quit b/c there are already enough people who surf

Answer 2

LOL i did the same thing about 4 years ago. I went out surfing (while I was still a beginner) during one of the hurricanes. I honestly can't remember which hurricane it was, but it was in Florida.

Ok, yea you should start out with 3-4 foot waves (at least until you stand up)

They do have pills you can take to prevent sea sickness.

Answer 3

Where do you live? You're lucky to be alive surfing in 10ft. waves your first time out?!!? Start on a longboard 9-10ft. in small to medium surf.  Ive surfed for a while and dont go out in 10 ft. surf!

Answer 4

Hey, leaning to surf is hard and takes time at least 3 to 6 times and a few lessions, Trying to learn in 10 foot waves is not a good way to start. start off in 3 to 5 foot waves and just keep at it. I may take you a few trips before you can stand up. Don,t get put off , try trying and you will love it.

As for being sea sick I have never experienced this but 10 foot waves and lack of ocean experience  may have caused this.

The best way to learn to surf is on a  long board and small waves.

Answer 5

I am a newbie and I am learning in like 3 ft waves haha

10 ft? i dont think someone learning should try that yet

Answer 6

i dont get how you got sick

Answer 7

Try a beach with smaller waves 1-3 foot. Make sure you are learning on a longboard

Answer 8

ya its normal cause its your first lesson

Answer 9

i surf too....to start out with ten foot waves as a beginner is too soon u should start out with some baby waves and then progress on to a 10ft. and with the whole seasick thing u might feel like that b/c u've never surfed before but it'll probably eventually go away once u get used to bein out there...oh and you might want to skateboard when ur not in the water to improve u balance, it helps out alot.

Answer 10

In surf that big, you most likely swallowed salt water. We all do to some extent, but an hour and a half of wiping out, you probably ingested more than enough to make you sick. Just be more conscious about keeping your mouth closed.

Answer 11

I dont think you can really prevent it when you're in 10ft waves lol. But maybe you could try sea sickness tablets?

Answer 12

u should just start on some smaller waves. and dont get down on yourself u will get it soon.

Answer 13

don't swallow a crapload of water and try 2 ft waves
