You could include your best and worst experiences, basics of water safety, equipment, and what a person who wished to try for the first time should expect and how they could go about acquiring that first experience.

Maybe you could go into the varieties of surfing like shortboard, longboard, SUP, bodyboard, skimboard, bodysurfing, canoe surfing, mat surfing, tow in surfing. Or the history of surfing.
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

:lol: I bet I forgot a bunch let's see kite surfing, wind surfing, wake surfing, tidal bore surfing, standing river wave surfing, motorized board surfing and I am pretty sure JOB would have a bunch to add to that. Oh yeah and what do they call it when they use a motorized winch to pull the surfer?

I think you spelt 'twang' wrong, I', sure there is a 't' at the end of the word rather than an 'ng'

There is JOBs 'hedge surfing'

Perhaps he is thinking of tow surfing? The only thing I can figure is putting toll booths on the road that goes to the beach. There must be beaches like that somewhere.

I imagine there is an endless variety of surfing takeoffs as surfers who aren challenged by the waves are often looking for other challenges. Just saw Roller-SUPing
