QUESTION: Where is a good place for a beginner to ride?
Hi Beth- I recently moved to the bay area and would like to get into the sport. Where is a good place for a beginner to ride?
Thanks, MD
ANSWER:
Hey Minh,
Learning around here can be quite difficult. I know this well because this area was also my learning grounds! I started off by going to Bolinas and Pacifica a bunch and made an occasional journey down to Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz is the most consistent but also quite crowded. If you have the cash, you may even want to kick down and get a few lessons in the Santa Cruz area. Not only will they give you some good learning techniques but they will also educate you on surfing etiquette (very important so you don’t get “kooked” out of the water).
You may want to consider attending my surfing seminars (see our website at surfpulse.com) as I will be teaching specific training techniques to improve strength while surfing.
Good luck!!
Hasta, Beth
