Start out on medium/small sized waves. You wo not have any fun if the waves r super small, because they will be really hard to catch. And anything too big will be dangerous.

Some people might say to catch the white wash to begin with, l do not recommend that. Catching the white wash is what u do when ur 7 years old. It is completely different from catching the face of the wave, & it is just a waste of time.

You will want to get a pair of body boarding fins. They come in all different shapes, sizes, colors, & prices. These r different from snorkeling/diving fins, so make sure you're buying the right kind. Check with ur local surf shop ( l think u can even get them at some WalMarts, depending on where u live) & let them know that u want something decent, but u do not want to spend a fortune.

Without fins, it will be really hard to catch the wave.

Most people (people who do not know what they're doing) will sit too far back on the board. You need enough of ur weight forward so ur back half is not dragging in the water. If ur hips & legs r dragging down, they will slow u down & u will never catch the wave. Really be far up on the board.

When u see the wave forming, hold onto the board & start kicking towards the shore. Ideally, you're going to want to be near the peak of the wave, that is the place where it is going to start breaking first. From there, the wave will usually peel in either direction (or in one direction, depending on what kind of break it is... or it will break all at once if it is a close-out).

Use ur legs & shift ur body weight to try to stay on the face of the wave. This means u will head into the beach at an angle, instead of just straight in at 90 degrees.

Hope that helped! Have fun!!

Buy or borrow a boogy board,and some swim fins, go to the beach, paddle out, watch others, and do what they do.

try surfing. Please dont become a sponger and clog up the lineups

when a wave is about to brake jump forward with the board

All u do is walk into the ocean,Lay on the board in chest high water until a wave comes
