Hi from Upstate NY

Hi all,
Part time SC resident, for now, and I always liked watching people surf.
Now, I’m a 67 yr old man and I want to, maybe not so much to ride the waves like the folks I watch, but to be able to paddle around and just let the waves just lift me and lower me and maybe catch one, lying down, back to the beach. So being in pretty “ok” shape, I decided to grab, I think, I’ll grab a 8’ foam softboard and just do it. We’ll see how that goes. It nice to be here on here forums. Joe

Welcome and we will cheer you as you go for a great dream, Soft at this stage is your friend, but upstanding is not beyond believing in too
BTW I am 75

Hey man, that awesome that you decided to give it a go! There's a guy where i surf that kinda had a similar path.. he watched people surf until he was in his 50's.. and then decided he wanted to learn himself. He's totally hooked now and one of the regulars whenever the surf is good.
Hope you enjoy the journey! Let us know how things go
