The surf culture is so deeply rooted in Australia that coupled with the extensive coastline means that practically anywhere you go in Australia you will be able to find a good cheap surf school to get you through the basics and to the fun part within a few hours. Surfing is the kind of sport where the person sits out past the break and is waiting for a wave to come so they can paddle and try to catch it before it breaks so that they can ride it and get a good ride.
There are even surf clothing and surfboard manufacturers who cater specifically to women. While many men enjoy seeing women out in the lineup there are still some who refuse to share the waves with their female counterparts.
Great for kids and smaller adults looking for a great beginners board or the experienced longboarder needing something more maneuverable. It's much safer and much more rewarding. Aside from the possibility that a serious spill might put you off surfing for good, big water surfing without the necessary experience is irresponsible at best, suicidal at worst, never surf in conditions you aren t ready for, and only experiment under the watchful eye of a professional surfer or an experienced buddy.
While it is usually by beginners you will often see an advanced surfer using them between the flags at the beach. The ideal boards to learn to surf on would be 8-9 ft, and wider than usual. If it is more natural to have your left foot closest to the nose, you are called a natural-footer whereas if your right foot is forward, you are deemed a goofy-footer.
If you are going surfing at a spot you are unfamiliar with it is a good idea to get some advice from a local. Do not go out too far, even if you are a confident swimmer.
