longboard surfing

Learning to surf is a fantastic way to have a lot of fun, learn something new and get in some great exercise. 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.

Test the water first, you might be able to get away with board shorts, but I would recommend a rash vest also. Southern California offers some of the best surfing in the USA. So let's just take a quick look at a few boards, what they are designed for, and who should buy them.

Check out the schools gear. Lead with your head. The stand up paddle board can be either a midsize board or a longboard, and the difference with this surfboard is that you stand up on it the entire time and move around with a tall paddle rather than lying down on the board and using your arms as oars.

Take note of where you should be surfing before you go out, and make sure you stick to it when you are out. Also, always respect visitors to your beach.
