Our first lesson we learned the parts of the sufboard (I wasn't really listening...oops). Then we leaned how to 'catch' a wave. Pretty much you get on the surfboard and hang your feet off the back (stern maybe) because if you are too far forward on the board you will nosedive. Then you paddle like mad and when the wave comes to you paddle two more times and stand up. Sounds easy right?
Wrong! It's hard and chilly. And the instructors made sure to warn us to not have the surfboard in between us and the wave or else it would knock us over. I learned this lesson firsthand and have the bruise to prove it!
Anyway, I did get up once for about two seconds, and luckily got a pic!
So all in all, surfing is fun, but cold in wintertime!
