It helps if you have friends who surf or an instructor who can lead you in the right direction for your skill level, but if you don't, you can read this easy guide on finding the right board. It s all about conquering fear, learning water safety, expanding your ocean and wave knowledge, and returning to the true essence of surfing, fun and relaxation.
Sometimes our egos can get in the way, because we may think we're actually better surfers than our performance on the waves clearly shows. Your first board can really be the breaking point when it comes to whether you will pick up the sport or quit in frustration, many of us see the pros riding on their slick 6ft short boards slamming the lip and making it look like not only a hell of a lot of fun but also a real easy thing to do. Tom Blake, founder of the Pacific Coast Surf Championships that ended with the onset of war in 1941, was the first man to photograph surfing from the water.
Everyone wants to ride a cool looking short board, but for learning to surf you should try and find yourself a longer board. The gun is a distinctive board. San Diego surfing, around Encinitas and La Jolla is also incredible.
It's like learning to walk, you will fall at first, but you will get better and better. There are so many great places to surf in southern California.
