teach em, i am. with my friends i am pretty much getting there and rent them the board... and then letting them have fun. i of course tell them the basics, how to padlle, how to pop up. thats about it. i of course tell them a tip or two if there doind something wrong. but pretty much im letting them teach themselfs. its much more rewarding and thats how i learned.

i tried to teach my cousin to surf and he ended up sitting on the beach and didnt come again. i tried to teach my mum to surf and she ended up with a bloody nose.

DONT DO IT!!! its waaay stressfull, do the hiring and stuff and then let em do it themselves. unless your a really calm person you will end up yelling at thyem.
