9999 stop surf school classes.save ur money for boards!get long,med,short.single,twin,thruster,quad
u have excellent free advice from some very experienced surfers here.none of em i bet ever went to any surf school!
keep at it,put in lots of time as everything intensifies as you progress(like music).you will get better waves,better manoeuvres,better wipe outs and even more stoked!

i believe Andy Irons said"surf all day,everyday"

The only idea behind classes was that I had someone there I could question, but also use someone else long board til I gained more confidence.

welcome to the line up me9999,

chook just told you more about surfing than all the other posts combined,

and you thought you would be able to chat with regulars

get a board like sheepdog is talking about..."maybe a touch more..."
get one more surf lesson then fuck their little rort off
avoid middleton at all costs, more often than not end up at middleton
dont overlook one footers on the mid
persist for years, maybe one of the locals might talk to you, but dont worry about that, because invaribly their a bunch of wankers anyway

kneeboard/boogie much easier to have fun on while getting wave knowledge
but no one will talk to you then

Fair call. I think I've met those wankers you talk of.

ohhhh, look. the kook is getting all uppity, questioning someone's IQ. well, enjoy your superior intelligence as you flail around and are laughed at and despised for the next few years till you give up and go back to playing golf.
here's some advice 9999, you're the lowest of the low and no one wants you in water on your piece of shit that you call a surfboard. man up, take it on chin and shut the fuck up.

Christ. Look at your rant and you called me uppity?? Hahahaha.

I don't give a fuck who wants me where. I'll go wherever the fuck I want whenever.

See you out there. Your comment won't stop me. I'll give you a time a place when I take my piece of shit board out and you tell me to my face who wants me where and we'll see where you end up.

Sorry guys, what a fucking childish rant. Im having a few issues at the moment and stupid little things set me off. The northern suburb remark, something else, fucking cat looked at me sideways.

I appreciate the responses. Its good to get an idea from people who have been out in the water for an extended time. Ive got a lot to work on and consider from here.

Thanks again and sorry bout the fucking flip out. Uncalled for.
