why don't you take a class in a surf school. It would be best to have a qualified life guard actually taking you into the surf zone. that way you'd have the confidence to have fun knowing that you won't get into real trouble. They'll also teach you about basic surf safety. Things like rips and the basiuc mechanics of swells, waves and surfing. And it would be a good way to meet other beginers for future sessions.

try the folks at the top of the cliff at tynemouth,,,they seem nice enough
