So right....
Im a new surfer and i dont really know much about it. I just moved to Orlando FL and ive never surfed a day in my life before, but i always thought it looked like soo much fun. So last weekend i went out to Cocoa beach (FL) and rented a 8 ft. foam board from Ron Jons and i basically taught my self what i could. The 1st hour or so was just ridiculous, i had no idea what i was doing, then i just sat back and watched some other people surf. So finally after about 6 hours i was able to get up and ride for a little bit (lol, the waves were not very big, so i didnt go far) BUT that was enough to get me hooked! sooo, i guess my question to you all is....
Is it a waste of time or a good thing to get surfing lessons?
I should deff try out many types of boards to see which kind is best for me... any suggestions?
and any cool info that might help me out?

That is honestly the same story as mine. i am also from Orlando Fl. i borrowed a large foam board from my buddy. and after 1 day i was hooked. just keep trying. get a board you are comforterable with. i now have been surfing for 4 years and i am looking to get sponsored. i taught myself. but if you learn better with a teacher you should definitly get a teacher. its all about the love of the sport. just dont give up. and have FUN.
