Best Beaches for Learning to Surf
Written by admin on September 8, 2011 – 12:00 am -Waikiki Beach is one of the best places for a beginner to learn to surf. The waves there are easy to catch, and there are many instructors to help you get going. The instructors there have an excellent way of getting a novice surfer up and riding a wave within a few minutes. The waves that roll up to the beach are slow and rolling. Lessons start on the beach, where surfers are taught how to paddle out and pop up to catch a wave. Last but not least, Hawaii is one of the most beautiful places on Earth!
If you’re on the East Coast, Florida has some of the best beaches to offer. Miami Beach and Cocoa Beach all offer gentle waves. The water is usually warm and the weather is mostly nice and sunny. These both make excellent spots for a beginner to learn.
Or you may choose to head over to the West Coast and soak up some California sun. At Newport Beach, the University of California Irvine hosts beginning surf classes. Between the pier and the first jetty, there are plenty of great beginner breaks. Another great surf spot in California is “Campus Point’ at the campus of UCSB in Santa Barbara. There are often easy rolling waves there, and in the summer they offer surf camps for kids and grownups.
