It took me years to learn what good surfing instruction from an experienced coach can teach you in hours today. The first thing you will need is the right equipment.
Southern California offers some of the best surfing in the USA. This site/blog focuses on stand-up surfing, not body boarding. Easier to carry and manage out in the water but with all the surfing ease of a longboard.
The techniques. how to paddle, getting into the lineup, how to get up on your board, how to ride a wave, duck-diving, plus so much more. Most surfing lessons and surfing instructors can provide you with training surfboards, but when you decide to get serious, definitely buy yourself a nice one. It is pretty cool if you know how to surf because you just want to keep surfing over and over because of the little rush you get when you are dropping down the face of the wave.
Practise is the key to surfing, and where many beginners fail. Have a chat with the instructors and go with your gut feel.
