1. get or rent a good board ie: Victoria, slostik ask around no wooden ones

practice throwing the board so it hits the sand 5-10 feet away from you with good forward momentum, make sure it lands perfectly flat

then wait for a wave to come in a leave a film of water over a relatively flat part of the beach this wave has to be followed by another 2-3 footer further out. run do the throw step as lightly and fast as possible on the board(i like putting front foot first because thats the way you move) keep youre weight even, once you get to the next wave lean back and rotate youre front foot and surf. these are basic steps practice makes perfect...peace

why not wood boards? i have one and it was sick... untel it cracked. now i have to re-finish it.



***********************************
Its winter, the birds have all flown south, all but one. One little bird that waited too long. As it flew to catch it's buddies it got icicles on its wings and fell to the ground. The bird then saw a nice looking branch at the top of a nearby tree and it said to a nearby cow, 'I want to reach that top branch but I don’t have then energy to fly up, can you help?' The cow said, 'Here, eat some of my poop it'll fuel you to climb up the tree.' The little bird said, 'Thanks!' and had some of the cow poop. The bird flew up to the first branch of the tree and rested, then the next day flew to the next branch, until finally the bird reached the top branch. Then the farmer came out with a shotgun...

The moral of the story is, bullshit may get you to the top, but it wont keep you there.

wood boards are too heavy and are meant to go across the beach they wont alow floating on a wave

not true...

Fibreglass, boards because of the foam core do allow for increased bouyancy, but as everyone knows bouyancy is defined as a function of surface area and not as a relationship of air density. A large wooden board can let you ride waves just as good if not better. The only TRUE advantage of a fibreglass board is the weight.
