Wow 3 years Ive been visiting the Pit for now and I had no idea there was a surfing thread. Way to go
Ive only read the first page of posts so not sure if this has been posted before but this is the Australian beach webcam sight.

Its currently on the beach that I mastered the art form...North Narrabeen here in Australia.
Water is pretty chilly here at the moment so been finding myself running most mornings as opposed to a paddle which sucks.I'll ride the wave where it takes me.0 -

I have a question:
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?0 -

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.0 -

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!!!!!!!!!I'll ride the wave where it takes me.0 -
