find yourself some little ankle biters(2-3 foot waves) and just ride the foam on your stomach for the first few waves until you can get the feel for the water. then start standing up after you feel the board is moving. Then start catching waves on the shoulder as they break.
def. stay away from people til you can duck drive without losing your board and catching waves without the board shooting out from beneath you.

start on a longboard with some slowish, mushy waves.. let the breaking wave push you forward in front of the wash THEN try to stand up. then you'll have enuff momentum to stay on the wave.
not as stylee as dropping in on a steep wave, but once you got the basics dialed you can start working on the pop to your feet etc.

my first day out I fell off and kicked my leash leg back, as I came to the surface the board was coming back and nearly knocked my teeth out. Try to avoid this.
When you fall, just relax and cover your face with you arms. once your oriented under water swim to the surface with your hands in front of you.

thx kld. actually that is what I'm most worried bout. the correct way to bail

+ never borrow a buddy's board.. they are fragile, expensive and can destroy a good friendship.

the key is to relax but be aware of your board, other surfers, etc.

I took a board to the grill my 1st day out too. My teeth almost cut all the way through my lip.
Soler: if you're in LA area, you should go down to San Onofre, Old Mans Beach and try a longboard. Its a good spot and you can drink beers there. Which pretty much makes any sport better.

this is the most important part.
beer never tasted so good than after a long session. if you don't drink sustitute beer with your favorite beverage
