I love the surface water sport of surfing. It gives me so much thrill.
I have always wanted to learn how to surf
Its easy, just tackle the face of a moving wave and ride it.
Do I need any special equipment to surf?
Most people just use alaia and paipo as surfing boards, so that all you need really.
Ok do most people learn on their own or take lessons?
Well a lot beginner surfers can utilize artificial waves at  pools to learn on their own.
Oh that sounds like a good safe idea
