Hi Ladies!

As I hate being taught anything by my husband cause he is my husband and treats me differently than he would a friend, I would recommend taking lessons for surfing from someone other than your SO or Hubby. And, I would recommend taking some classes, it really makes it a lot easier! I have heard these stories from Men that I know that say surfing is so hard and they are very impressed that I got up and was surfing in the first week.

IT is hard, but I really don't think it is that difficult if I can do it in a couple of days with my fears of water - so go take some lessons and do some pushups before you go. It really helps to have some upper arm push up strength and some good core (abdomen strength)! Oh, and if you can practice on a long skateboard that will help too, but put lots of pads on! (I did not do this, but one gal did and she was a natural on the surfboard.)

I really recommend the Surf Diva school at La Jolla. It was a great experience and they had all ladies classes! Go Longboarding! Wish I could join you, it would be fun to do again!
