Surf in Estonia

Hello!

I am 16 year old from Tallinn, Estonia, the problem is that there are no waves here. But I really want to learn surfing.
Summer is coming and I would like to do something. I've seen some people in the beach with surfing boards, but they are just standing on these. I am going to USA in Autumn. And to Spain next year. Is there any way I could learn surfing in these beaches here? There are some really small waves, but yeah...

Thanks

+ I know that there are these things called Skimboards also. Could I use these?

Hi Robin, welcome to surfing , wow in Tallin no less, skim boarding might be the way to go or SUPing for the tiny wave days , clock up,a few video hours looking at each,
Skim board you use flat very shallow water to get run up speed to hit a small wave at the edge of the sandbank.
SUP you standup,paddle onto the wave. Lots of float and fun to do. I do it on Austria lakes, ferry on the lake can provide little running waves.
Baltic ship,wakes might give you a little more size. I’d probably SUP. :D
