Surfing is a popular sport. It might be tempting, especially in a beachside location or if you have friends that surf, to just grab a surfboard and go for it.
If you come across one that doesn t then it s usually possible to hire the necessary equipment from a surf shop. 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. This site/blog focuses on stand-up surfing, not body boarding.
Softboards have soft foam construction, which will be less injurious with the inevitable bumps and bruises newbies get from their boards when mastering their board control. The ideal boards to learn to surf on would be 8-9 ft, and wider than usual. Practise is the key to surfing, and where many beginners fail.
You should be a confident swimmer, and know the dangers and how to spot them. Practice makes Perfect.
