What should I know before going surfing for the first time?

Dont go out if you wouldnt survive without a surfboard, you never know if the lesh is going to break

I would find someone in the water surfing to teach you or go out with you and help you paddle in.

Water is qet

Know how to swim.

Get a long board

Wax the top (deck) t w/cold or warm water Dr. Zog's, whatever water you are surfing in.

Don't go alone.

Get as much advice from these experienced surfers on reading waves. Paddle out with them, never alone.

Avoid rocks. In warmer waters, the waves break on coral, it is Painful.

If in N Ca this time of year, get a dry suit .

Or, get a Thick wet suit and pour a thermos of warm water down it.

Hang Lo', Bro !
