Surf School I want to learn to surf and I go to school in St. Augustine now, so I have a good opportunity.?
I was wondering about how long (time or sessions) does it take on average to be decent at surfing? Like riding waves semi-consistently and such? are lessons good ? if so about how many is recommended til you should go at it by yourself?
Lessons are usually the best way to start, unless you have lots of pals who surf who can teach you. Go to a real surf shop. The folks there can hook you up with lessons, and even rent you a board to learn on. Don't rush into buying anything, until you have had a few lessons and decide that surfing is really something you want to stick with. Please don't waste your money buying something on line. When you are ready to buy, rent or borrow a variety of different style boards to see what suits you best. Try before you buy, a surfboard is a big investment.
Be careful of what you read here on line. There are lots of really well meaning young folks who have neat answers about surfing, but at 56, I tend to classify anyone under 25 as a kid. After I found this site, I figured that I could answer a few questions, and spread the 'good news' of surfing. After you master the ocean, get your REAL advice from a surf shop, where industry professionals earn their rent money selling surfboards. However, if they think you are just a 'kook' tourist out to rent a board, you won't necessarily get the best attention.
If you are already a strong swimmer, and fairly athletic, it can be fairly easy to master the basics. If you are a sand crab, who just likes the idea of surfing, it might be a little tougher. Some folks who are adept at other board sports have an advantage, after they learn how to paddle and take off on a wave. But it is not a significant advantage. There are way too many people who "surf' who have zero water skills, and are dangerous to themselves and other surfers. I see at least one or two every time I surf at a crowded break. Don't join their ranks. If you want to surf. do it right.
Just as an example, I spent years as a little guy (started around first or second grade) swimming and body surfing and body boarding before I took up surfing. It took my just about the whole summer to get 'decent'. And I really couldn't say the I got 'good' until my second summer.
Most people learn best on long boards, although I have seen lots of surfers start on a short board and master it. In the long run, there are NO RULES on what type of board you have to learn on. Long boards are ideal for learners. There are also good intermediate length boards to learn on, funshapes, mini-mals and some hybrids.
THE REAL BOTTOM LINE IS: Go to a Surf Shop, not a computer. The pros there can give you the right answers!!
Good luck. Once you try surfing (and learn the 'right way') you'll have fun for life. I have been surfing since 1966.

The familiar Cinderella concept gets a sun-splashed makeover in Death to the Supermodels director Joel Silverman's wave-riding teen comedy. The misfits of Laguna Beach high school have suffered more abuse than they're willing to take at the hands of in-crowd bully Tyler Masters (Ryan Carnes), and as the senior trip draws ever closer their hunger to seek revenge for years of humiliation grows too powerful to resist. Enter newly arrived high school student Jordan (Corey Sevier), a former east-coaster who seems to be having a hard time fitting in at Laguna Beach. When Jordan learns that the highlight of the senior year is the annual surfing contest in Costa Rica, he soon hatches a plan that will give the downtrodden outcasts a much-needed ego boost while simultaneously serving Tyler with a well-deserved comeuppance. In order to do it right, though, Jordan will have to convince outcast hip-hopper Mo (Sisqo), morose Doris (Laura Bell Bundy), skate-punk Taz (Miko Hughes), and virginal Larry (Lee Norris) to break for Costa Rica a week early and train for the competition under the tutelage of loopy former surf pro Rip (Harland Williams). It's not going to be easy, but if Jordan can pull the troops together and make this wild plan work, he just might manage to leave his mark on Laguna Beach High after all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

2009 release from the California-based Experimental artist. The songs on Silver Sea Surfer School were culled over months of playing in her home studio on 13th Avenue in Oakland and many began as odes to her neighbors who could hear her practices clearly. They were guided by ideas of Gospel and centered around emotional and spiritual themes but playfully boogie with goofy touches and punctures of highness. Infinite friendship, rebirth through love, dialing the muse, braving the rushing rapids of a lifetime - all themes cradled and polished on this disc, and stirred and mixed with a few more abstracted touches like an obsidian organ track and a couple of escapes into smeary selfness.
This two-fer from Beat Goes On features a pair of out-of-print Jan & Dean Liberty LP's: Surf City and Dead Man's Curve/The New Girl in School originally released in 1963 and 1964, respectively. Included among the 24 songs are the hits "Surf City," "Honolu
