Hi Shanmarie7, welcome to Surfing Waves!

We've a number of members here who come from in or around Daytona, so hopefully one of them can help you out. There's loads of info on this site to help you prepare, so have a read.

A quick google threw up some surf schools, if you'd like to have a few lessons to get you started.

Welcome Shanmarie7, can't emphasise enough the benefit of a few lessons. They'll be worth every penny. You may meet someone who'll offer to teach you for free, but unless they're an actual surf instructor the quality won't be nearly the same as a few you pay for. You'll learn how not to get in the way/surf etiquette , how to spot hazards, and least important of all "how to surf". Best of luck, post how you get on. Also, we love photos if you've got them.
