    forget lessons... they're gonna tell you what you already know, and maybe push you into a foamy wave and yell "now stand up!".

    i started surfing quite late (25), but i've skateboarded since i could walk. my advice: go with friends who surf... borrow a board and have a good time. they'll show you good, safe spots to start and teach you proper etiquette and can keep an eye out for you in the water. another good idea is to start surfing with a buddy who's also starting out; makes it more fun and you've got someone on your own level to encourage you.

    • the rest you've just got to get a feeling for as you progress, and you'll get fit the more you surf.sine
    • btw... it's gonna take a long time and regular surfs to do basic stuff, and even longer to look half decent on a wave.sine
