Can u learn how to surf in 3 months?
The fastest way to learn is to start out in a beach that is adecuate for starters and as you get better, you pass to the next level in dificulty. If there’s no surf school in your town (they got lots of gear like soft longboards etc) or don’t want to spend that much money, start buying an used Longboard or Fun Board (it’s better to start with a second hand board because you’re going to dent it a lot), but take along someone with some knowledge so they don’t rip you off with an old heavy useless board. Remember: The lighter the board the better it will transmit the upward force from the wave, resulting in a better teaching tool for yourself. Three months is more than enough to learn, but go at it every chance you have, mornings, afternoons and sunsets. This is not only a great sport but a lifetime passion and a wonderfull way of living in contact with nature.
You can actually learn in a few days (I did). Well, you can’t start surfing on a short-board. They take a lot of experience and for someone trying to learn you want to stay away from them. If you get a short-board your gonna hate life for awhile. Get a long-board for sure. You’ll learn how to paddle, pop-up, and your stance much more easily. I would go down to the local surf shop, pick up a decent looking used longboard (around 8-9 foot), and haggle a bit with the shop keeps for the price. Make sure you get a legit hard-top board, soft-top boards barely catch waves and break easy (they’re cheap). Try to wax the deck like really hard so when you’re out in the water you don’t fly off your board (sticky bumps is best wax). Also make sure to get the right wax for the right water temperature. Tropical Wax – 68-70 + degree water Cool Wax – 60-68 degree water Cold Wax – 59-50 – degree water The real question is can I learn how surf good enough for a team in 3 months and the answer is totally.
First of all, you’re really lucky that there’s a surf team where u live, cause i live in THE MOST F up country in the world : Italy.People don’t even know what surf is! Anyway, i picked up surfing last summer and i have to say that it’s the best sport ever ( in my opinion ),it’s so fun,and i stood up on the first wave and diden’t really have a difficult time at all and i was 13 so, i know it all dipends you’re strength and ecc,but if u start with the wright longboard(it’s easier to ketch waves with,espescially on a small day), and u train paddling (in the water,not on the beach,pretending with the board set down) and be conscious of how u position yourself ecc ,you’ll learn in no time! GOOD LUCK!!!
