surfing costa rica

People in Hawaii made huge wood boards and would get in the water and paddle themselves out in the water and then paddle and ride the waves as they broke over the shallow sand or reefs. There are certain terms that might confuse a beginner, and picking out your first board might seem a bit overwhelming.

Don't under estimate the kids who are most likely 8 year old to mid teens, its amazing how young these kids start surfing waves. If you want to learn to surf, skip the trial and error and get a good instructor. It's much safer and much more rewarding.

Check out the schools gear. In July, professional surfers gather here for the Billabong Pro tournament. It also gives you time to check for any rips or where the best spot to catch waves is.

When learning to surf you have to begin where everyone else does. Being a beginner at any sport can be a little intimidating, but if you go to a local surfing school to get started, it can help save you time, money, and embarrassment.
