I am 15 and was thinking about entering a contest soon in New York. I am not extremely good surfer, about an intermediate, but just wanted to try doing a contest with out looking really bad against the other kids. How good should I be before entering a contest so I at least have a chance?
Don't worry about how you look when you surf...try it anyway. When I first started with my first event, I looked and surfed horrible...iam very competitive and love competition, so I did it...May even looked like a fool. I kept at it and improved as the years continued. If you like competition and you really want to try it, just give it a shot...
just go for it. the thing about competition is that if you wait till you're good enough, you never will be.
