Thinking about how to start surfing? Good choice. You don’t need to be super fit, own a surfboard or have spent your childhood growing up next to the ocean. You just need to be comfortable in the water, ready to learn and prepared to fall. A lot. Surfing looks easy when you watch someone who knows what they’re doing. Then you get on a board and suddenly standing up becomes a surprisingly complicated task. Don’t worry, that’s completely normal. Every surfer started somewhere.
