got my first board, have a few questions

Because you are a beginners and you will be in Florida, I would definitely suggest renting a funshape board. It's a great beginners board, much easier to move around with, especially because FL waves tend to be smaller. Take your board out though and give it a try also. Can't hurt! Good luck!

 

Cole, don't go surf Sebastian buddy. If you're a beginner, you're going to piss people off and possibly get hurt. That is a tough wave for a beginner. There has been a lot of sarcasm on here, I wanted to clarify that Sebastian is a terrible place for beginners. There are peaks just to the north of the Inlet that will be better for you. When you're starting off, stay out of people's way. It's the same theory as not walking out to play pick up basketball with a bunch of NBA guys when you just picked up basketball a couple months ago.

That being said, Cocoa is a great place to learn. Have fun, and perhaps read an article or two on ethics before you paddle out. You'll be better off, safer, and have a better experience for doing so.

 

+1 Words of Wisdom... Cocoa is a perfect spot for a beginner, there's spots all along A1A. Have fun.
Oh, and don't get too freaked out when 5' sharks start breaching the water and flipping around next to you...watch out for the blues. and your good...

 

If its big and breaking at Monster Hole on the south side of the inlet take a short paddle out there...really...there are no sharks out there...promise...lol

Dude, be careful who you listen to on this forum...?!

Wait. Are you saying that just because some of us disagree with your professed, twisted skill of enticing kids to your side with surfboards, candy & who knows what else, that we're steering people in the wrong direction?

No. No 'wayne.' You're working this kid.
Come to you & he gets a free board.
Put up with your brainwashing & proselytizing, he gets a free board.
Problem is....it ain't free.

Not only have you hijacked another thread on this forum, you piece of self-righteous, self-aggrandizing, lying sack, you've shown your true colors by ripping on every person who posts on this forum.

As well, you are, again, tryingto lure young people to you with merchandise. If your gawd is so powerful, if he's the way & the truth, then you would never ever have to entice young people with your sick materialistic goods.

No, wayne. You are the wack job.

And kid cole, if you're reading this: just remember that many serial killers have the middle name of wayne. I'm not making that up.

 

yeah dude, you will not get anything on the 6'4. rent a soft top, catch a few waves, maybe stand up for a few seconds, stoked. if you go with the 6'4 plan on: catching like 1 wave, not standing up, remembering this post

hahahahaahah omg yes

 

WOW and as for enticing kids, I have 7 of my own so lets get the story straight. I keep forgetting that everytime I post , I have to expect this.

 

LOL I love this forum. Not only do we get surf, but religious, political, legal, and other fun topics abound. Free speech at its best/worst. Cole, I wasn't bull****ting you btw. I started surfing in Florida a little over 13 years ago in Cocoa/Melbourne area. Have a great time down here, but please consider what I said.

I'm shocked how many serial killers have the name Wayne. Nice bit of research on that.

 

Kinda spooky, eh Kai....? Truth is always stranger than fiction.

And solid items that you posted for KidCole re: FLA. You might have just saved him a few years in the school of hard surfo knocks.

 

I agree with everyone on the concept of getting something bigger. You really need to learn on something more stable and easier to paddle and suitable for the size waves that are more conducive to learning, which are small ones. As a rule of thumb, the smaller the wave the larger the board (seems ironic to beginners, but really true) up to a point, wherein you get into really large waves and begin to need more stability again and go to larger boards called guns that like .1% of surfers really progress into, so pretty much you'll want to learn on small waves on something larger. A funshape would be great, and a longboard probably even better. Especially considering you're likely to be trying it out in warmer weather like summer when it is really small here on the east coast. I pretty much don't even look at my shortboards until september. I ride a 9-0 or a really fat fish all summer. I would get a longboard.
