Learning to surf is a fantastic way to have a lot of fun, learn something new and get in some great exercise. The North Shore on the island of Oahu has gigantic winter waves and is commonly referred to as wild water.
In the 1930s, the sport of surfing was experiencing a Renaissance. If you come across one that doesn t then it s usually possible to hire the necessary equipment from a surf shop. These things are important not only for your learning and safety, but also so that you don't get seventy-sixed from the good surfing spots by the other surfers for snaking their rides or being a rude surfer.
Ask people who have had lessons with the school. Without the ability to paddle you will not only never catch a wave, but more than likely never even get to the line up. So many times I have seen a beginner surfer spend a stack of coin on all the latest gear and then spend an hour getting thrown around in the white water, wondering how everyone else made it out the back, it is 90% in your paddling ability. But this is not always the case as some surfers prefer different styles of boards depending on when they paddle into a wave, how strong they are at paddling and how good balance they.
So where ever you purchase your next board make sure they provide advice and ask you questions about the factors listed above before you buy. Have a chat with the instructors and go with your gut feel.
