Two major subdivisions within stand-up surfing are longboarding and shortboarding, reflecting differences in surfboard design including surfboard length, and riding style. In tow-in surfing (most often, but not exclusively, associated with big wave surfing), a motorized water vehicle, such as a personal watercraft tows the surfer into the wave front, helping the surfer match a large wave's higher speed, a speed that is generally, but not exclusively a speed that a self-propelled surfer can not match. Surfing-related sports such as paddleboarding and sea kayaking do not require waves, and other derivative sports such as kitesurfing and windsurfing rely primarily on wind for power, yet all of these platforms may also be used to ride waves. Recently with the use of V-drive boats, wake surfing, riding the boat wake has emerged. From Wikipedia under the

It isn't hard under the right conditions. For your first time out, I would suggest a lesson. Ride what's called a soft top or foam board such as the ones in the first link below. You'll want to ride a long board at first. Something between 7'6" and 9' long. Anything longer than that and I think it would be too big for someone your size. 2. Surfing has a very big learning curve. At first it can be hard. You have to be in pretty good shape. You have to be able to, first of all, paddle out to where the waves are. There's no chair lift to get you out there. Then, you have to turn around, and paddle to catch the wave. Once you've caught it, you'll eventually want to stand up right away, as fast as you can. But this is hard at… [cont.] Answered by Laurie F - Fri May 18 16:21:44 2007 What can I do to become good at surfing while I am landlocked? Q. I really want to surf eventually, but I am landlocked at the moment. There is literally nowhere to surf where I am at - no ocean, no lakes, nothing. What can I do in the meantime to train myself for surfing, so that I am better when I start? Asked by Margarita Lima - Sat Jun 5 21:43:23 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I am sure you don't want to hear this, but the truth is, NOTHING. Surfing is an ocean sport that involves a complex set of ocean skills. However, there are things that you can do ashore that will help condition yourself. Being in great aerobic shape is one thins. Run and or swim often. Pool swimming won't replace ocean swimming, but it is a great work out. Other board sports can help improve your balance. Using an Indo board is a popular balance improvement tool for lots of surfers. If you are in decent aerobic shape, have decent balance and a average degree of athleticism, you next need to learn how to be at home in the ocean. Real surfing is not done in the waist deep white water at the water's edge. When you are comfortable in… [cont.] Answered by John F - Sun Jun 6 11:23:49 2010 What sites and blogs do the surfing community communicate most on?
Q. I'm looking to find out as much about the online surfing community as I can. Can anyone recommend their favorite blogs, twitter handles, or sites that you find most comprehensive? Which ones are most popular? Thanks! Asked by Jill G - Tue Mar 23 20:26:54 2010 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments A. Probably your best bet is to locate the site targeted at your local region. If you want general sites, I've found those below are often interesting and have comprehensive information on a regular basis. The #1 surfing blog site on yahoo is worldwidesurfers. It started out for surfers in the Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia communities, but now has members from all over the world, including a couple of surfing hall of fame members, posting there on a regular basis. Another good site is google groups alt.surfing. This is the oldest blog site. There is a crew posting on the site that has used it for years. I first posted on the site when it started up around 1993 or 1994. Second light is a great site for the Florida crowd.
