hello everyone,
just found this forum and tried surfing for the first time the other day. might as well ask for the much needed advice here i'll repost somewhere else if this isn't the proper thread.

so i was able to get hold of a board from a surf nstructor who had an extra board. i was told it was gonna be a funboard but the board looks to be a wider short board from the looks. it's 5'11 with a point nose etc, from my knowledge a funboard is a hybrid between a long and short board with a rounder nose and much longer than 5'11ish. so i went out today for the first time on a surfboard in laguna beach off brooks using the board and it was pretty damn difficult. paddling was waddly, catching a wave was pretty difficult, and attempting to stand led to sinking because i was trying shallow waves and just kinda stopped when i stood. i tried riding a few waves laying down and felt like the nose wanted dive down, 1 time it did and i ate it.

overall had difficulty catching waves at all. any advice would help! i figure the board isn't the ideal type to start with, so i've been looking at funboards and mini-mals, but im hesitatin to get a foam board or long board as i know i want to advance and move down to something smaller. money is an issue, poor grad student. advice need, tips, locations for beginners, time of days, etc. i've done a lot of skateboarding growin up and some snowboarding so concepts of boarding arent new to me. thanks, anything would help.

Hello world

Postby Em_J » Fri Jun 22, 2007 7:50 pm



Hi there everyone.....this is probably cheating.....I'm on here to find one of my friends called Mark. I think he's called Essex Sucks but I'm not sure. He plays guitar and has a girlfriend from here I think.

I have nothing against surfing by the way, I think it is amazing and wish that I could stand up on a board long enough to do it.

Anyway, if any of you know the guy I'm looking for can you help me please.

He also plays guitar and has an amazing voice and juggles fire and does poi and things. :D

heres a nice lil' story for ya .. back in 81' i think it was , i went to Malta with the fossils and rented this one man floaty , paddly surfboard thing.. off i paddled about 100yrds of shore and just lay there on my belly kinda snoozing , un-beknown to me there was a lovely lil' rip that dragged me sideways and spun me round ..i came to about ten minutes later and could see the bay like fooking miles away .. without thinking to look over my shoulder and check ..i started to panic and just paddled towards shore whilst snivelling all the way at my likely demise .. i must of got like 500yrds before i realised it was the other side of the bay ... muppet :lol: :lol:
