Wat4zz wants to talk about boards here!

Just rearranging the answers to your board questions, to somewhere that suits you more.

Let’s start, you are asking many questions great, but asking for barrels and difficult surf skills when people are advising to get your basics up.

I hear you don’t have much money, ok we all know that one.

Your board group will not help you,
An old sail board can be paddled onto waves if it is not to wide, but too wide and you will injure your shoulders by repetitive strain

The rails are designed for sailing not surfing but white water riding straight in could be possible.
Standing on body boards, doesn’t do much to help.
A short soft board is probably not suitable either.
Surf schools match their soft boards to height weight and size of the student. And are long boards.

Your simple and best course, go to a surf school once or twice, you don’t have to think what board you need.

Just go and do that then your questions will put you on the right track.

thanks.
yes i began reading there since yesterday.
yeah the sailing board is not too wide
my plan is to go to klitmöller, when i have enough money.
they have surf school and used boards, they can give older ones for less money, 6/4 wetsuit i already got
6 hours intro and course cost 133 euro
camping huts cost 20 euro per day/person (camping hut for 2 persons)
klitmoller is Type:
beach and point
Reliability:
fairly consistent
----> When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water. Take care of rocks in the line up.
Need to talk to surf school where i can safely train in distance to the crowdies

If you are just starting out, this channel has IMO the best set of tutorial vids:
