Begin with a longboard and lessons from a certified instructor at a beginner-friendly beach. Focus on safety, balance, and understanding the waves.

You’ll need a surfboard, a leash, a wetsuit (if the water is cold), and some surf wax to keep your board grippy.

Early mornings or late afternoons are ideal for surfing, as the winds are typically calmer. Check local surf forecasts for wave conditions.

Always surf with a buddy, stay within your skill level, follow local surf etiquette, and be aware of currents, tides, and marine life.

Absolutely! Surfing is for all ages and fitness levels, as long as you have a love for the ocean and a willingness to learn.
