Question: To any experienced surfers!New to surfing need useful advice.?

Ok so Im new to surfing and right now im thinking of buying a board and a wet suit.My question is what kind of wetsuit and board should I get. I know theres different kinds of wetsuits for different temperatures and wouldnt it make more sense to buy one thats for very cold waters even if you surf in mild temp waters.Also on the boards,people keep telling me to buy a long board becuz its easier to learn. Wouldnt it be more of a better investment to buy one of the regular boards because each are expensive and wouldnt it save you money in the long run.

Also, is it hard to learn.Like could I learn in the summer?Im a good swimmer and this sport looks fun.Sorry for the long post but any advice helps.Thanks=)

Also I live in Port Hueneme and Im next to all the beaches.Its like 10 mins away.Plus theres Malibu and Ventura.I know these are colder waters and I know the suit can probably make a difference

Answer: well first, you should always learn from an experienced surfer so your style is good. The best thing to do is to take some lessons. They make surfing less dangerous for you and the other surfers and people around you. If you dont know what you are doing, your board can hit people in the water and local surfers will treat you like $#!+. you should start out learning to surf by using a longboard, mini mal, or fun board. these are the best learning boards. you can learn on a shortboard or fish, but it will take a lot longer and you will have not as good a style. it takes a while to learn how to surf very well, but as long as you keep surfing and practicing, you will get the hang of it in no time. you should always surf with friends. if you are worried about sharks, dont be. they are in the water with you, no matter where you go. but there is such a small chance of running in to one, you are more likely going to get hit by a tv falling out of a window than getting attacked by a shark.

when you are learning, go to a surf shop or lessons and see if you can rent a board. they usually have good beginner boards. when you buy your boards, you need to go to a surf shop too. they will help you get the best boards and equipment for your beach and skill level. if you are surfing somewhere like california when the water is cold, you need to once again, go to the surf shop and buy a wet suit that fits perfectly. you can not return wetsuits once you buy them. make sure it is thick enough.

now when you are getting out ready to surf, observe the waves first. you need to know how big they are. practice pop ups on the sand before you go in the water. your pop ups need to be in a quick, swift motion. once you are ready to paddle out, grab your board and head out into the water. when you paddle out, try to paddle in a place where the waves are not breaking so hard. be careful not to head out into a rip current though. you have to be a strong swimmer to surf. if you do get caught in a rip, swim parallel to shore until you are out and then swim to shore.

when you are out in the line up, know the surfing etiquitte. never snake someone. if you see another surfer in need of help, dont just sit there. go help him. the person closest to the peak of the breaking wave has the right of way. dont hog all the waves. no matter how big a wave is that is comming toward you, do not ditch your board. it is a hazard to you and the people around you. hold on to it. learn to duck dive or turtle roll. dont hate boogie boarders or body surfers unless they snake you multiple times and dont apologize.

alright, now that you know the rules, you can go and catch your wave. when you see your perfect wave, paddle toward the shore. if you are riding a shortboard, paddle at and angle toward shore. do not stop paddling until you feel the power of the wave start to push you. when you feel it, put your hands flat under your chest (on the rails if you have a shortboard) and do the quick, swift pop up that we talked about earlier. then you will catch a wave. this takes a lot of practice to catch a wave, so dont be discouraged if you fail multiple attempts at it.
