I love to paddleboard in the ocean waves
I've never done that before, but it sounds like fun. I am not near any ocean currently :(
Yes.  I have only done knee or belly paddleboarding but never surfing.  Unfortunately I am not near the ocean either
I have tried surfing before briefly a few years back, I wasn't very good at it though! Surfing is difficult.
Yes.  Surfing is challenging!  There is a place near me which can create artifical waves to practice surfing
Oh yeah I have seen such places before, but I have never tried it. I assume it is expensive to practice?
It is not that expensive.  You can also surf in rivers!
Hmm, now I'm interested. Perhaps I will try surfing somewhere locally this summer, I just need to buy a new surfboard.
