The local surfers out on the waves can lose their patience with newbies who don't know the rules and big surfing no no's. Surfing is a phenomenal sport that can literally be picked up by almost anyone at nearly any age.
Test the water first, you might be able to get away with board shorts, but I would recommend a rash vest also. Remember the more flotation, the easier it will be to stand up but it will be harder to push through the waves and get out the back. A private surfing tutorial will have you well on your way to surfing like a pro in no time.
The deeper you can get under the wave, the safer you will be from the force of the breaking wave. If you have someone that catches the wave and kind of waits for it to pick up you will see them gain speed fast and then just launch out of the wave like a rocket. Unless the board you are using is a soft-top, or fully covered in deck-grip, you will need some surf-wax.
With a little time and effort, you can find just the right surfboard for your sessions, so that you can make the most of this fun in the sun watersport. If you are surfing on a patrolled beach make sure that you keep within the designated surfing area.
