I was thinking of doing those group lessons things that emerald city in Mission beach does...good or a waste of money?
I would just recommend getting to know some surfers and have them teach you for free or buy them a six pack of beer.

Um, Id rate it as pretty technical. Its not one of those things where you can get out there and pick up in an hour. Obviously youre not going to hammer away with anything under 7'6 so pick up a longboard and go for it. Learn from repetition my friend.

um, never said you'd learn in an hour. But might as well make friends with surfers, have them teach you, then you have some buddies to go surfing with.

Recap on yesterday. Well, I realized the hard way that Im out of surf shape. First time back in the water in about 4 months. Im in soccer/tennis shape and my shoulders got WORKED. The water was about 60 and it was looking halfway decent, but a little blown out. All in all, had good times. New routine: Tue/Fri nights, Sat/Sun all days.

If I had stayed in SD, I'd have a board and be decent by now. h:
