A longboard will help get your paddlin' muscles built up and will be more fun just to cruise around on than boppin around on a shortboard. Also much easier to catch your first waves with. Also practice your pop ups. Push up right to your feet No knees! Another good cross trainer is the Indo Board These things get your balance dialed in and help you to practice the "Athletic stance" and they are a lot of fun if you dont send the board through your sliding glass window. Most of all get out there and have fun! Dip your head, throw seaweed bulbs at your friends and amaze at the critters that pass both below and above you as you soak up the sun. Dang I should go surfin today!
