independent companies. You can either take group lessons or
private lessons. Lessons can be one, two or three hours.

BOARD |
As a beginner, you need
a long, thick, wide board. The objective is to get something
that will easily allow you to catch waves and be stable and
forgiving when you are learning to stand.
In addition to your board you're going to need
some wax, A leash and something to wear. |
|
WETSUIT |
In many
locations a wetsuit is a required piece of equipment for
surfing. A wetsuit is a snug fitting neoprene rubber suit
designed to insulate you in cold waters.
Depending on the
temperature and condition of the water, you may consider a hood,
gloves, and/or booties. Remember that your body cools much
faster in water than it does in the air so keep your head and
body warm! There are a variety of styles of wetsuits to
choose from and it really depends on when and where you will use
it as to what you should buy.
|
|
LEASHES |
Leashes keep
your board attached to you. The rule of thumb is that you leash
should be at least the length of your board or slightly bigger. Leash will cost
approximately $20 - $25. |

Participation
in dance gives a child a higher level of self-esteem,
confidence, and a
