I’m 11 years old and I’d like to start to surfing. I am about 5 feet tall, 70 pounds. So what type of surfboard should be my first?

Your first surfboard should be one that you are renting from the instructor who is teaching you how to surf! Owning your own surfboard is way down on the list of the things to do to start surfing. Before you even think about surfing, there are some things you should understand. Surfing is an ocean sport, that should only be practiced by persons who are already competent ocean swimmers. Swimming in a pool is neat, but it’s not ocean swimming, with undertows, rip tides and sometimes BIG waves. I have seen lots of great pool swimmers get rescued. So, my first tip on how to surf is to be at home in the ocean.There are way too many dangerous people in the water now. They are a danger to themselves and other surfers, don’t join their ranks. We don’t know too much about you.

Lessons are the best way to start. Lessons can come from a professional instructor, or surfing family members or experienced surfing friends. You have to learn surf etiquette (so the experienced surfers in the line up don’t want to drown you), how to paddle and take off on a wave, and how to ride a wave. The last thing experienced surfers want is for inexperienced people to just grab a board, rush into the surf and get in our way. Lessons shorten the learning curve significantly. And they help keep ignorant, un-prepared kooks out of the water and out of the way of more experienced surfers. .

Beginners should take advantage of renting boards and wetsuits while taking lessons. If it turns out you don’t like surfing, you haven’t wasted a whole lot of money on gear that you are not going to use. If you decide that you really like surfing, a soft top foam board is ideal for a cjild to leran on. But, in time, you will want a "real" fiber galss or epoxy surfbord. My 10 year old grand son just got his first real board this summer. The best place to go for advice is a good local surf shop. I have been sufing for 45 years, and that is where I good for surfboard buying advice. A surf shop is a good place to find surfing lessons, too.

I would suggest that you get a chance to get familiar with the ocean, before you even try any surfing lessons. All of my grandchildren started out by playing in the ocean, getting used to the waves and swimming. Then they moved on to boogie boards, before we started them surfing. They all surf now, with varying degrees of skill and interest. But what is most important, they love to play in the ocean. they know that it is fun, but it is very powerful and they respect its power.

there are lots of places that offer fun "tourist" type group lessons. While you will never learn to surf (for real) from these lessons, it will give you a taste of what it is like. But, I cannot emphasize enough that you need to be comfortable in the ocean first, if you intend to really pursue surfing asa hobby (lifestyle?). Don’t invest any money in a surf camp if you really aren’t at home in the ocean.

The ocean is one beautiful thing. But it is also one dangerous thing, and I have seen it cause great tragedies over the years. Get your ocean skills down, and then find a good surf camp, and you will be set.

Good luck, and welcome to surfing

I am looking for an inexpensive laptop,notebook, or netbook that is under 300 that I can have internet on without wires and I can dowload games, watch movies and videos, what is the best advice?
Is the netbook able to load a CD to install the internet, is a notebook better for playing a CD, surfing the net, watching movies and videos? What the difference between the two?

A regular HP Netbook will be able to watch movies and videos just fine, Gaming will not run on a computer under $300, you just can’t get a good enough laptop with a good GPU and CPU for gaming under that price. Regular flash games will run fine, if your planning on running some 3D Games like Call Of Duty, it is not going to run at all.

Surfers attach flares to the back of their boards for an impressive light show.
