Surfing Waves

Hi

I've done this in the wrong order I posted a comment on the 'Later in life beginners' first!

I'm 61 and joining the forum to look for advice and encouragement to start surfing. I'm 5'10" / 178cm, 12st 3lb / 78Kg and reasonably fit. My goal is just to be able ride some waves and have fun... basic stuff.

I've moved to a place called Trearddur Bay on the Isle of Anglesey which is off the coast of Wales in the UK. Surfing is something I always fancied trying my hand at but as I live to far away from the coast at the time I never really gave it serious thought... no excuses now!

My next step is to book a few lessons at Rhosneigr, watch some videos and read some of the threads on here.

I just wish I was 50 years younger! It will be good to have stuff to encourage the grand kids too when they come out here

All the best

Hey Simon never too late to start, the process will take longer and you will have to gain a new set of muscular resources for paddling and a new awareness of your wavy surrounds, treat it like fun and have a longboard start, Enjoy the ride I’m 72. and been doing it since I was 8.
It will renew any jaded particle in your life you once had! Gopher it!

Doing it since you were 8! I bet you've got the hang OK! Thanks for the wise words and encouragement.
