Hawaii is the original home of surfing. Maybe you are just visiting the golden state's coast and want to give those renowned waves a ride.
Softboards are ideal for surfing newbies because they provide the best buoyancy and stability for beginners learning how to surf. Once you take all of these into account you then get to look at the surfboard itself. The awesome power of the ocean doesn t discriminate according to experience and even small breaks can have dangerous rips and currents.
This ferocious tube breaks over a coral reef that bottoms out at under 24 inches and the waves are normally 10 feet high. Get fit and spend time in the pool if you need to. When paddling, try and get the board planing, that is, not having the nose of your board either under water, or sticking out too far.
Always surf with someone else. So where ever you purchase your next board make sure they provide advice and ask you questions about the factors listed above before you buy.
