A good place to start
Ask a surf school which equipment it recommends for your experience and the day's conditions.
What to compare
- Lesson format
- Board suitability and supervision
Start with a taster
Ask for a beginner session and find out what equipment you can borrow. Afterwards, think about the teaching, atmosphere and journey as well as the activity itself. The best routine is one you enjoy returning to.
