The only surfing instruction available to us was watching other guys in the water, copying what they where doing, and hanging on for grim death if it all came unstuck, which it usually did. The first thing you will need is the right equipment.
Of course, you don't want to spend hundreds on a brand new surfboard and equipment only to find out that you don't really like surfing. Your best resource for surfing tips will be a friend who surfs, every surfer was a beginner at one point and will be able to give you tips which will shorten your learning curve and help you from making many first time beginner mistakes. 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.
More recently neoprene hoods, gloves and booties are used to cover and warm all the extremities as well. Surfing greats such as Nancy Emerson, Corky Carroll and Frieda Zamba offer surfing lessons at some of the world s most beautiful beaches. Shortboards and fun boards were designed with the average surfer in mind, and are definitely a design specifically for East Coast conditions.
Also, always respect visitors to your beach. Always wear sun-block.
