how does one get STARTED surfing? Do you just buy a board and go out there? How do you know if you're doing it right?
Well I taught myself... but I started when I was young. My friends and I would go out there and watch the older kids. You should find someone who already surfs and have them teach you.. or take some lessons.
Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

your doing it right if you walk down the beach see one foot, onshore winds and see one tiny wall on a wave and think fuck yeah!!!!!!! or, you fall off stand up in the water and think, i wanna do it again :D
There is no right or wrong way with surfing, Every person has a different style, your doing i right if you are having fun and enjoying being o the water.

Plenty of surfing to be had in New England ! Not saying it is ever Epic here, but a great place to learn and see if its something for you. Just got back from the beach (Nantasket) and there were at least 25 people out there.

I was about to get up you for not telling me there was a surfing thread here on the pit.
For the record...flat as a tack today. Webcam at North Narrabeen still hasnt been replaced :rolleyes:
not many people know this thread is here but its awesome that you found it!
I think you guys are lucky to get waves out there the way you do! We got a surf competition coming up in a few and i DOUBT the waves will be over 5 feet.
~~~~~~ALWAYS HAVE A GOOD TIME~~~~~~

Yeah we definitely live in a good spot for waves. The beach where I grew up was 'consistently' the best break most days and there are always plenty of breaks to choose from.
Ive also noticed over the last few years that there are a HEAP of people taking up the sport especially females. In fact I have a client that (due to confidentiality) runs a surf school at a VERY popular tourist beach here and their financials are quite attractive. Business is good!!!!!!!!!
