Surfing is popular largely because it requires no formal training, a minimum of equipment and can be enjoyed by almost anyone at any age. It's great because anywhere there are waves, chances are people surf them in one form or another.
Depending on the climate and water temperature in your area, you may need a wetsuit. Putting in a good amount of time in the kiddies pool will mean that you are more able and experienced to take on the back break when the conditions are right. Before the advent of wetsuits to keep them warm, many a surfer braved the frigid ocean water, especially in winter, in his bare skin.
The deeper you can get under the wave, the safer you will be from the force of the breaking wave. Also, wetsuits are often provided with your sessions, but you can always have your own. Hopefully you already know that a rip is a strong current that generally goes straight out to sea.
A surfing school will allow you to try surfing out before you invest in a new surfboard and spend a lot of money on surfing equipment. So get yourself an instructor, suit up, grab a board and hit the beach!
