Question
I am going to Bondi Beach next week and there may be a chance for me to go bodyboarding or surfing.  However I have never gone into the ocean since I was under 10.  Now I am a man in my late 20's who is reasonably athletic and in reasonable good health, not even allergic to anything.  How would I go about learning how to surf without embarrassing myself?  I thank you for your help.

Answer
Hello!

Well in all seriousness you are going to have to be able to laugh at yourself a bit when you are first learning to surf, we all look a bit funny until we get it figured out. While I don't have the time to write out a surf lesson I have provided a link to a great site about surfing and leaning to surf. I hope it will be of some assistance to you! Good luck and remember to stick with it!
