There is literally nowhere to surf where I am at - no ocean, no lakes, nothing.
What can I do in the meantime to train myself for surfing, so that I am better when I start?|||I am sure you don't want to hear this, but the truth is, NOTHING. Surfing is an ocean sport that involves a complex set of ocean skills. However, there are things that you can do ashore that will help condition yourself. Being in great aerobic shape is one thins. Run and or swim often. Pool swimming won't replace ocean swimming, but it is a great work out. Other board sports can help improve your balance. Using an Indo board is a popular balance improvement tool for lots of surfers.
If you are in decent aerobic shape, have decent balance and a average degree of athleticism, you next need to learn how to be at home in the ocean. Real surfing is not done in the waist deep white water at the water's edge. When you are comfortable in the ocean, a few good surfing lessons will get you started. However, no matter how well you ski, or wake-board or skateboard, it is all different from surfing. In surfing, the ability to paddle and take off on a wave takes priority over balancing once you have caught it.|||it was only easy for me because i was able to get the hardest part down. PADDELING!
go to your local pool and practice paddling on a boogie board or something.
it helps so that when you do surf, you got the hardest part down!
everything else you need to do on a surfboard
