Need help!! Emergency

HI everyone.
May be it's gonna sound stupid and silly but i got a problem which doesn't leave me alone..
i've been skateboarding for 5 years and always wanted to try surfing but for some reasons i haven't tried it yet. Since last month i hate it and feel like vomit every time i skate. Eventually i gave up..
But i'm already addicted to adrenalin. I need it.
Recently moved to Florida and now i'm very close to surfing...but i'm afraid that i won't like it. I'm kind of scared of making a new step cause sometimes i think i'm just tryind to replace skateboarding with something. So i'm unsure if i should try surfing. should i? I'm very afraid of getting dissapointed again..
Sorry for taking up your time..
But i really need somebody's advice
:oops:

id say go for it, at least then youll know if you like it or not, and as for skating, we all get sick of it sometimes, i havent skated in about a month :oops: give it time and youll probably soon find you want to go again. stop stressoing about needing to enjoy it and itll be easier to have fun. good luck :D

When you're old, you wont regret what you did..

...you'll regret what you didn't do.

GO FOR IT! I was scared to surf too when I first learned but it helps you face your fears, both in the water and on land. And trust me, you'll LOVE IT! But I'll give you this warning: You'll never want to stop surfing once you started. :o :wink:

Cheers and good luck!

Surfing should never be used to replace something - surf because you want to - slowly the want will turn into need. I'm 2 or so months in and i need to surf everyday - its what gets me through work, knowing that i'm gonna hit the beach at sunset & get out when its dark.

you'll never know if you like it unless you try it. take a couple lessons and rent a board or something and give it a go, only way to know.
