Awesome Surfer

Is it difficult to learn how to surf?

Bird of Paradise asked:


How long may it take to learn it?

By the way, (and pardon me if it is stupid to ask this), but are there courses to learn surf in countries where it is popular?

    its not easy, but its not very difficult.
    depending on where you go, i suppose there will be courses available as long as the place is known for surfing. im sure you can ask the locals who depend on tourism and they will teach you for a fee.

    Come to the philippines, there are plenty of spots where the locals are friendly and will teach you and it will be cheap compared to lets say hawaii

    you just need someone to teach you how to stand properly and to push you a few times till you get it. then you have to go practice on your own to improve

    The certifying organizations there are those who have been trained through one of schools and stand on their own in onetwo sessions with many references and stand on the best instructors are plenty of the best instructors are also camps where you can go there are also.

    The difficulty all depends on the individual–whether you have the natural balance and a lot of other variables including how fearful you are of the ocean (don’t laugh–I’ve seen people who are intimidated of the ocean try!) Probably within a couple of months you should be up and riding if you get the idea of it at all.

    Here in Hawaii, there are loads of places to go to learn. Anywhere around–Hawaii, California, Australia–you can always go to a good surf shop and ask someone there. They will know the locals and either recommend someone, or, if you have someone in mind, can tell you if that person is competent. Around Waikiki, there are plenty guys ready to “teach” you to surf, if only they would learn first. There are also some really GOOD teachers around. But the folks at the surf shops can usually tell you.
