Anybody here do it? Summer is just round the corner and i really want to have a crack at it.

Been looking at shortboards but not sure what is a good price 2bh. Cheapest is around £150 and ranging to £500+. Anyone shed some advice on how to go about surfboarding? Totally new to it :y:

Gracias

You dont really want a short board as your first, they are pretty difficult to use as theyre deigned for speed and tight curves etc. Best one to get is a minimal which is inbetween a short and long board. Also if you find your not the best at it, bodyboarding is also great fun, and easier

edit: also short boards cant really be used to full effect unless the waves are big meaning a lot of the time you will just sink
