Hello Baker2125.

Make sure you do get started this summer.As Uncle Jaffa says get some lessons with a surf school then you don't have to start out buying a board as you will use theirs. The nearest surf school to you would be Joss Bay, which is down in Kent. However there is rarely any surf there (I've always wondered how the surf school manages to remain open!) once you are more comfortable the most consistent surf nearest to you is East Wittering (just outside Chichester) and Shoreham-on-Sea which is a little way along the coast from Brighton. Failing that great way to start would be to book yourself into one of the myriad camp sites in Cornwall and grab a weeks worth of lessons which will have you comfortably riding the white water in no time!
Good luck with and have fun, perhaps I'l lsee you in the water at Witterings some time?

Hello it's me again just as an update I did put it off due to family, money , future and conference but I am going to start this year I don't care now. I am getting in to better shape because I am joining the army and I think surfing will relax me and keep a clear head.

Take a trip with some buds down to newquay! Stay in a tent, have a blast oh yeah and don't forget to actually do some surfing while you're down there make a wkend of it, go on, you know you want to! It's like a rite of passage

Soon to be Private Baker, report for weapons training at your nearest surf school ASAP on the double.
It has been shown in the the military that if their privates surf they stay in better condition and are healthier privates.
We want our privates healthier and serving well.
Seriously. It is a great way to have an outlet from what the Army does!
