Like most sports, the best way to learn to surf is to do it. It's great because anywhere there are waves, chances are people surf them in one form or another.
That would be horrible to have to carry a piece of wood down the beach until you got to your spot and then you jump in the water and the water just water logs the wood surfboard that is the main reason why I can see why people changed the surfboard. Perfect for the person who likes the feel of a longboard but wants more maneuverability. You can learn the rules, so that you don't steal or snake someone else's wave, or do anything else that's a big surfing no no.
The next piece of equipment you will need to learn to surf is a surfboard. And they can tell you the other surfing equipment you'll need, like surfboard wax, a leash, and a rashguard or wetsuit. Once you learn to paddle the first type of wipeout you are likely to experience is the cleanup, this is when a wave that has already broken slams into you and throws you around like a ragdoll.
Practice jumping up in one motion, standing side on and keeping the board planing if possible. No one got any better at anything by staying home and sitting on the couch.
