Some sports are more accommodating to the beginner than others. Surfing is not one of them. Surf camps and/or intructors are hard to come by (at least in this region of the surf world). People are ellusive when telling you where to find surf. Even surf shops, despite their intent to separate you from some of your $$$, are not always forthcoming with information. And even when you are trying your best you're going to be called a kook. Don't despair. We were ALL kooks once. It is a rite of passage you just have to bear. But trust us when we say it is worth it. Surfing is a sport unlike any other. The dues are intense, but the pay-off is immense. Welcome to the club!
