l started by using a friends board a couple of times until l realized that l could surf & that l liked it. get a board & go surfing when the waves r small. do not catch the big waves outside, but catch the white wash inside. just let it push u along & stand up, get used to ur board, & learn how to turn. once u feel comfortable u can go outside on a REALLY SMALL DAY & catch waves. for board size, get as large of board as possible. i'm ur age & l use a 7 foot hardboard. l suggest a 8 - 8.5 foot softboard. even 9 foot would be good. surf surf surf until u get used to it. if u like the ocean, u will love surfing! good luck

Become as strong a swimmer as you can. THen surf as much as you can. Surfing is confidence and not fearing the elements, ie: Drowning. Build a base of Waterman talent as you go.

Borrow a board & go out with someone who knows what they're doing. If none of ur friends surf, take a lesson. They will teach u the basics about paddling, catching a wave, standing up, & basic surf etiquette.

Do not be too anxious to go out & buy ur first board right away. Most places will rent them for about $8 an hour, with discounted rates after the first hour.

Once u kinda get the hang of it, & u know this is something u want to pursue, go ahead & buy a board. l recommend getting a used board for ur first. Unless you're going to get a mass-produced foamy, like the ones they sell at Costco. They're fine boards, but they do not have the best reputation out in the water, so u may get teased a bit.

If u want to improve ur strength & muscle mass, swim in ur free time & do some push ups every morning & night.

However, the best way to improve ur surfing is to surf. So, just get out there as much as u can & have fun!
