first time out didnt go as bad as I thought

So recently picked up surfing and got my first board which is a 8ft foamie. Today went out to Bermuda beach in Galveston and was totally stocked for it. 4-5 ft waves because of a NE wind coming through and I managed to kind of catch my first few waves and was very excited, even if it was for a few seconds. Just kinda sharing here because not to many of the fellow Texan surfers here arent to friendly and even the shops were kind of eh when I was asking about newb spots that were out of the way of everything. (Actually had to look up where to surf sadly. Not one person would tell me anything) But, I feel pretty good about myself and feel like I really wanna make this A weekly thing. anyways just sharing with you guys so thanks for listening

Well done fella!! Feels amazing to catch your first wave.. I surfed foamies for a long time and got all my basics down on them. Congrats for getting out there. You'll always have us in here rooting for ya! Post up how you get on

Surfing aint too easy but nothing else can stoke you like riding waves. 4 to 5 foot wave in Texas? good for you on your first surf.

YeeHa Saltie, the eyes of Texas are upon you (if not at least the eyes of the members of this forum) Go for it!
