In the early 1900 s the Hawaiians organized the Hui Nalu surf club and competed in neighborly surf competitions with the Outrigger Canoe Club. The local surfers out on the waves can lose their patience with newbies who don't know the rules and big surfing no no's.
If you don t have a good friend who is a surfer then you will be able to find help at your local surf shop, or by making your first couple of ventures into the water with a surf instructor. Look for schools with accredited coaches. Reasons, well first they are very stable so standing up will be possible within one or two attempts, they are soft so you won't slash open your flesh with the fin, or crack open your skull on the first wipeout, they are cheap and lastly they are very easy to paddle and generate speed on, which is one of the most fundamentally important part to surfing.
Many have been involved in competitive surfing of some description or have at least spent enough time in the water to have a sound knowledge of the demands of the sport. The surfing sport started on longboards, and hanging ten on a longboard is way of life for many surfers. Make sure you are a strong enough paddler and are physically fit enough to surf.
Not only do they protect from skin rashes but they also offer the best UV protection you can get in the water with many providing SPF 150 protection. At the end of the day choosing a board is personal and you need to get advice from an expert.
