In the early 80's thru out the late 90's hawaii was the surfing mecca in the pacific and established itself as the capital of surf junkies world wide. The North Shore on the island of Oahu has gigantic winter waves and is commonly referred to as wild water.
Once you take all of these into account you then get to look at the surfboard itself. Having a professional selecting the ideal surf break for you to learn, helping you choose which surf board and fin set up is best for you, showing the safest way to enter and exit the surf and the proper paddling and wave catching techniques relieves virtually all of the stress off of a new surfers shoulders and greatly boosts self-confidence so all they have to concentrate on is just catching the wave. The waves that sunset beach produce can be tricky and dependant on the weather and tide conditions.
Beginners quickly learn that surfing is mostly about paddling. You can also find soft top boards which are even more ideal. It is the only place where surfers can find waves from 25-50 feet in the winter outside of Hawaii.
Always have a quick warm up and stretch before entering the surf. So your fully decked out in your wettie, got your board and it's all waxed up and ready to go!
