Is it possible to learn to surf on a short board?
ive surfed a few times in hawaii and want to really get into the sport. I live in Victoria BC and would be surfing in tofino. I was just wondering if it is possible that ill be able to learn on a short board like 6 foot 5 or shorter. Im pretty in shape if that helps too.
Well, that isn't always the best "starting Point", and getting a bad start can leave you discouraged. Surfing is way too much fun to pass up, if you take the time to leran the right way.
Surfing is an actvity that should only be practiced by someone who is comfortable in the ocean, with its rips, currents, and sometimes BIG waves.There are already way too many dangerous people in the water. A danger to themselves and other surfers. Don't join their ranks.
Lessons are the best way to start, unless you are a young adult or adolescent with surfing pals who can teach you . You have to learn surf etiquette (so the experienced surfers in the line up don't want to drown you), how to paddle and take off on a wave, and how to ride a wave. Be very careful of what you read here on line. Some of the folks who answer on this site are very nice young folks, but not really very experienced surfers. In fact some of the folks who are giving you advice may not know as much about surfing as you do. After I found this site, I figured that I could answer a few questions, and spread the 'good news' of surfing.
Most people learn best on long boards, although I have seen lots of surfers start on a short board and master it. In the long run, there are NO RULES on what type of board you have to learn on. A board has to be bouyant enough to float you well enough for you to paddle and take off on a wave. A surfer's board preference depends on three things: Their size (what will float them how much you weigh is what is important, not how tall you are), Their skill level (beginner to advanced) and the type of waves usually encountered at their local breaks.
I have been surfing for 42 years, and I get my surfboard buying advice from good local surf shops in the places where I surf. Beginners shouldn't even worry about buying a board. renting a board (either from the instructor or shop) while taking lessons is the best way to go. And don't be fooled into a buying a surfboard on line. You don't know enough yet, and will only end up disappointed. Once you have mastered the basics, try a couple different types/styles of boards, and then decide what you want to buy. Surfboards are a big investment.
Good luck! (And isn't it awful cold up there right now?)
